Other Side Hustles Besides Mystery Shopping

April 20, 2026 07:03AM
I recently had emergency heart surgery and now have a mechanical aorta. But there was a trade off for the new energy. I can no longer do plasma donations. And I may not be able to mow lawns. And I am too old for the give a sh!t programs. Yes, there is a program to donate your excrement. My main hustle is remote bookkeeping. I have a BA in Accounting. But i swore I would never walk into a corporate office again. What are some of your other side hustles?

I have looked into making things with Canva and selling things to get passive income but it is way too complex for me to learn and not as easy as they make it look. It takes time, lots of time, which I do not have. But if you are home, you may have the time. I use prolific to do surveys in winter months. It is not quite as lucrative but it makes me some money.

I've never heard of a "back" side hustle.

I have 2 part-time W2 jobs and my Mystery Shopping. I aged out of market research projects taste testing snack food and soda.

Are you already doing credit card SUBs? I have done quite well the last few years by opening card with cash bonuses. There are many FB and online groups discussing this as well as "Manufactured Spend".

Last week I took my first assignment with a company, CHEP, which does pallet counts at stores and distribution centers. They pay $25 / hr. We worked for about an hour, but were paid for four hours of work. It's sporadic work, possibly only once a quarter, but it was definitely worth the time.

I don't think there are any Russians / And there ain't no Yanks
Just corporate criminals\ / Playin' with tanks

This may be a good post for General Chat.
We have had several gig posts there with ideas...not too hard to find there.
best of luck.

Life was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on

I work at a major league stadium as an usher. I'd be paying to watch the games, so, why not get myself paid instead, while basically just standing around and chatting? I also pet-sit/dog-walk for a few local people within walking distance when they go on vacation. They way overpay me, and won't let me refuse the money *shrug*

This ⬆️. If you can and/or don’t mind standing for a few hours, get a gig at a stadium (preferably indoors) and get paid to “help” people and watch the event. If that’s not your thing, get a side gig at a “luxury” apartment as a PT concierge. Sit at the desk, do whatever you want and make a few bucks.
