    Does anyone here have a "side hustle" that they do in their spare time as a little extra earning? If so, what is it, and how did you get started?

    I look after an Airbnb house for a person based in the UK. They manage the guests, I just make sure the house is clean. My dad used to look after the garden. When he retired he was asked to recommend someone to do everything. So frontline medics staying there at the minute

    I like to dabble in human trafficking, gun-running and pharmaceutical distribution. It fits in nicely with my down time while being an IT manager.

    Sure when it's a hobby it hardly feels like work at all!

    My side hustle is my farm that I have to manage in my spare time as it needs me to have a full time job to keep it afloat.

    Nothing at the moment, not even employed right now however I'm thinking of looking into Deliveroo and Uber Eats as I have a bike and a phone and Deliveroo will send you out a free kit including a bag so why not - at least until something better comes along.

    I run a business consultancy looking after marketing, sales, customer service on kickstarter for a company and have been looking into providing interview training to people but obviously Covid has placed a dampener on that. All above board with Revenue.

    I'm trying to create a tech company but it's very difficult doing it with a full-time job, kids, and travel commitments. I almost feel I need to quit my job. Scary though...

    My eldest is doing a bit of proofreading/copyediting on upwork and tbh I'm half considering it myself. I basically review docs for a living but will have to work outside my area to avoid conflict of interest. Just looking for a few bob extra for a house purchase without having to take something too formal.

    I have a pension and a part time job and I am as happy as Larry. Kids reared and enough to get by so I have to be grateful as my health is OK.

    Seems to be very common nowadays. You must love the farming to put in all the effort to lose money. Is it a family farm that you want to keep going?
