Corporations taking over side hustles seems to be screwing over people, since they take such a large cut and flood the market for that hustle.
But the ones I’ve personally seen people do that work pretty well (in USA) are:
Stay at home mom watching another kid (legally dubious depending on state/situation. But I ain’t no narc.)
A neighbor of my mom’s sends out a menu saying what she plans on cooking each night for that week, and for $X will deliver you some as well (Legal in Utah due to special laws, other states could be dubious. )
People who go pick up free furniture that is pretty trashed, and then refurbishes it and sells it. Or people with trucks who are like “Will deliver furniture for $30 in X area” is also pretty life saver for people without cars/trucks. Was able to get a super cheap/nice coach because of this.
People who just flip free stuff or stuff from thrift stores without doing any improvements annoy me greatly though. We broke and you’re just driving up the price!
None of these generate a ton of cash, but I like that they take very little up front cost, aren’t disruptive, and mostly take labor.
So what side hustles have you seen work out?
do baby sitters register? i never heard of this.
Are y’all spit balling here or do you have an actual example to substitute this claim?
Baby siters sit a single child or siblings at their own home. Once you start bringing other children in your home nothing stops you taking in 20 and doing it so in dangerous conditions

“For instance, most states and territories do not require an in-home child care provider to be licensed if they provide care on an occasional basis, provide care in your home, or are related to the children in their care.”
That is why I gave the “it depends”
Try googling it. It my state day cares must be registered and it looks like there’s lots of regulations. If there is any government funding you can bet your britches there are inspections.
we are talking about a specific fact pattern here. OP made unsubstantiated allegation, you are not willing to produce any evidence either…
day care business is heavily regulated, you are stretching applicability of these laws to a mother baby sitting another child.
people do nany share all the time with out having to check with in daddy government lol
also… wtf are you talking about “government funding”, is this government funding in the room with us right now?
when does government “fund” child care? at best they give you few grand of pre-tax income to be used for it in the world where it starts at 20K🤡
My state will subsidize child care for parents under a certain income. Nobody is saying anyone will get in trouble for babysitting family members. You could simply Google it and save yourself some typing and a whole lot of embarrassment
“funded”
What do you think subsidies are?
these 3 people getting some money from a state if they check 69 boxes is not “funded”
you are white washing facts. vats majority of people don’t get any “funded”
