10 Side Hustle Ideas for 2023

10 Side Hustle Ideas for 2023
Posted By: Jason Butler on March 05, 2023


If you are a college student or alumni and need to make extra money, I have ten side hustles that can help you.

1. Server/Bartender
One of the easiest ways to make extra money is to consider becoming a server or a bartender. There are many restaurants that you can apply to. If you have a 9-5 job, you can serve or bartend once you get off or on the weekends. You could make a couple of hundred bucks a night if you are good at it.

2. Airbnb
If you have your place, you can rent it on Airbnb. You can list your whole home or rent out a spare room. I know a couple of people who’ve listed their properties in the past. They say that it’s easy for the most part.

3. Personal Trainer
If you are in shape and enjoy working out, you could become a personal trainer. As people get older, they want to take better care of themselves. As a personal trainer, you can help them with that. There are different ways for you to promote your services, such as through word of mouth or social media.

4. Swagbucks
If you want a place to do online surveys and small online tasks legitimately, then you should check out Swagbucks. Swagbucks is a free website that allows you to get “Swagbucks” for doing surveys, watching videos, and more. The Swagbucks can then be redeemed for gift cards and PayPal cash.

5. Tutor
The next thing on the side hustle ideas list is to become a tutor. This could be your perfect side hustle if you are a whiz at a particular subject.



Math and science are subjects that students struggle with. You can search online for companies that are looking for tutors, or you could start a tutoring service on your own.

6. eBay
This is one of my favorite ways to make extra money. I’ve been selling things on eBay for nine years. It is free to sign up for. You can sell almost anything on the website. People (including myself) make hundreds of bucks monthly from selling stuff on eBay. In my opinion, this is one of the best side hustle ideas on this list.

7. Washing Cars
The next way to make money is to wash people’s cars. Everyone doesn’t like to wash their car, so you should be able always to find some clients. Check around your neighborhood or advertise your service online.

9. Craigslist
Raise your hand if you’ve heard of Craigslist. I’m sure that 95% of you raised your hands. You can sell things on Craigslist, and you can also find odd jobs. The opportunities vary depending on the city that you live in. If you are interested in selling stuff on craigslist, ensure you stay safe.

10. OfferUp
If you are looking for another way to sell unwanted items, you can list them on OfferUp. OfferUp is a phone app where you can sell things to different people. It’s very similar to Craigslist. The unique thing about OfferUp is that you can only list the items from the app.
