Topic: These Are the Top 10 Most Profitable Side Hustles in 2023 (Read 462 times)

It's really a difficult thing but you could even make this a full-time job. I know plenty of people who went to USA and then started being a Uber driver after a while, and they started to make their entire living out of that.

Of course, these were not people who were uneducated or anything so they had some skills that they could use as well, but they just didn't because Uber made them THAT much money. I know a family and both husband and wife they do Uber and they are making more money than median family income of an American household, which is about 60k give or take, and they are making about 88k together per year, which is proof of how much you could make with these.

I don't understand why you said "why should you be ashamed of being delivery rider?" Man, who said that? I don't even see it in the post you've quoted lol.
And, 90% of the time, those who ordered food are not disabled people, instead, they are the busy who people who does not want to go outside their offices as they find it more convenient to get a delivery service.
One last thing, due to the fact that delivery riders got incentives with every booking, most of them don't treat it as a side hustle, but the main source of income. You know why? Because, the extra side hustle is within the parameters of this job and that's called "tip".

All these could be called a side hustle if actually or truly the person have those skills. For one to engages himself with those side hustle, he or she needs to have those knowledge before taking them as side hustle.
E.g., Like Driving, if someone didn't have a good practice or a good standard i don't think such person can run it as a side hustle, perhaps, he must be very good in driving or driving to the international standard.
If i were a driver in Nigeria, and i moved down to U.S, i can't just immediately applied for driving and i got employed rather i will also go to a driving school over there to get to their standard before any company in U.S could possibly get me hired. So is applicable to rest side hustle apart from Nursing. It requires at least having an OND certificates from any Authorized college or institute before one could be at least be allowed to operate as an assistant.

Yes, being a driver with the apps company like Uber or anything that's the same is a good side hustle. If you have a car ready for rental or you don't use at most times and you have to pay its mortgage, you might just want to use it for those app-ride hailing apps because they're profitable.

You work at any time you wish and at the same time, you'll be earning the money that you'll pay for its monthly obligations.

Driving isn't just all about trucks and big heavy loaders but don't forget that the economy and market for it is quite big these days and it's not just in the US but also in many other countries.

yep, food delivery is a side job that gives good money and this has been proven by one of my friends who has a side job as a food delivery man, he said as long as you are good at managing time then you don't have to worry about this annoying food delivery job your main job.  as long as you still have great enthusiasm, why should you be ashamed or hesitant to be a food delivery person, you have done well by delivering other people's food because everyone has different circumstances and it is possible that the person using your services is a disabled person.

Are drivers really side or hustle? I think most places it is full time jobs but I agree that it is profitable depending on the type of motor they drive. Company drivers in big buses and trucks are really paid well because it requires more stress than just driving the CEOS or other executives. But I do not agree that it should be considered as side hustle. It is even a professional job because any driver can't just drive any truck, caterpillars etc.

Food delivery as a part-time hustle is also not a bad idea; I see a lot of people on social media claiming that it's capable of providing a decent side income. However, don't all these jobs require you to work quite a few hours per week? These are supposed to be side hustles, not a main source of income; thus, if you're working about 40-50 hours a week, isn't it a bit too much to add another 10-20 hours on top of that? I'm sure that this varies from country to country, but I'm referring to the general rule. 

Delivering for large corporations, for instance, could be a side hustle since you're basically a freelancer and you choose how many deliveries you do in a day. The exact same rule also applies to drivers, such as Ubers.

I didn't expect family assistant at the top of the chart, to be honest. Moreover, I find it strange that these are job listings that don't have requirements. I suppose you can start in sales or telemarketing from scratch, but surely you at lead need some medical qualifications as a nurse aid to administer medication? And would many people risk leaving a child with a family assistant that has no references from previous employment, no former experience with children?
Also, like some others mentioned, these could be proper full-time jobs in some countries, so it's interesting how in the USA they are side hustles.

What a complete mix of professions. Funny that there is almost similar demand in nurses and drivers. A person must study years to become a real nurse (not just clean-feed-repeat kinda of person). Persons needs proper education, experience, be responsible. When you only need few weekends with your dad to learn how to drive, a book of traffic laws and few hours to pass tests.

I think family assistant, QA reviewer, care coordinator and nursing aide aren't a side hustle because you're need to work for long and it's a routine jobs where you must be ready when someone needs you, not you're the one who can choose when you want to work. Flexible working hours and flexible working place are the important requirement to meet as a side hustle for me.

At the moment, I think US jobs are easier to find than normal. I have seen contractors in the construction industry on social media and youtube complaining no one wants to work. Despite generous offers of good salary. It is strange.

Online jobs are extremely difficult to get, especially the high paying ones. When a signature campaign opens up on Bitcointalk forum look how many people apply within a few hours of only 1 spot. Its usually 100 people, applying for 1  spot. Its very difficult to get high pay work.

You are competing against tons and tons of people because unlike an on the spot employment, people can have multiple online jobs at once, hence why its difficult. If there are any high paying online jobs which pay at least min wage of any modern country, let me know.

I was thinking if food delivery is one of the good side hustles for 2023, but I think the wage or income on this is low because, as we can see now, there are a lot of food delivery drivers right now, but the demand of customers to have food delivered to their homes is low.

Honestly if you are looking for any side hustle you need to learn something online. Gone are the day when you would learn plumbering, building assistance or any other low jobs, the internet offers more than any one can ask for and you can be your own boss.

In my country we actually have low employment rate because the government has chosen not to create any employment avenue but through the internet many youth has been able to find something to do.

I have a friend that works in the US with 3 jobs and all of them is a side hustle that is not on the list like restaurant waiter, fast food chain cashier and utility aide in a hospital. He is now a millionaire here in our country after many years of spending hard work on those jobs that only categorized as side hustles. Is hustle salary in there is almost equal to the minimum wage of corporate worker or there's a huge gap in the value?

While I don't think this illustrates the entire picture. There are perhaps a lot of things going on which are not being defined. Perhaps it is a step in the right direction.

These are the 10 most profitable side-gigs, according to ZipRecruiter:

1.  Family assistant

There are already lots of online jobs that are in demand nowadays. It's an open opportunity for everyone especially those who want to work remotely and in the comfort of their homes. Skills in these types of jobs could be learned also online through courses and other resources that we can find on the internet.
Enhancing and developing more skills would also offer us more opportunities in the future.
Physical job opportunities are just limited nowadays and the competition is too high despite our good credentials so we better find good jobs with higher compensation online.

This really depends, but side hustles are usually less than your main job; it's just that you add another source of income because your main job's salary is insufficient to cover your bills. Also, having side hustles is very difficult because you have things to sacrifice like time and sleep. That is why I respect those kinds of people, mostly if they have family to feed, as they are doing this for their family so that they can provide a comfortable life for their children. I also do a side hustle right now, and it is very tiring overtime, but I will use my family as motivation so that I can survive the day.

In my country we actually have low employment rate because the government has chosen not to create any employment avenue but through the internet many youth has been able to find something to do.

While it is not mentioned which income bracket the majority of quit jobs fall into. It is entirely possible the largest segment of quit jobs occur at the minimum wage level.

There was a study published many years ago which could not determine how minimum wage earners pay their bills off of their income. With mandatory spending rising at fast rates. These negative trends could significantly have worsened. Which could define a trend whereby many quit their jobs as their salaries no longer allowed them to afford to cover basic bills.

It is known that many seeking help have high difficulty finding workers. Looking at the above chart where side hustle jobs with salaries as high as $20 can be had at an entry level with "few or no starting experience". Perhaps we begin to see why workers are abandoning minimum wage employment opportunities at high percentages.

While I don't think this illustrates the entire picture. There are perhaps a lot of things going on which are not being defined. Perhaps it is a step in the right direction.

The pay from some side hustles are big enough to keep them comfortable for some weeks, better than earning monthly from working in an office. Talking about side hustles, One of the most profitable side hustles could be the job of a middle man or and intermediary for deals claiming a percentage for every deal sealed. This job is very unpopular and the requirement mostly is that you have contacts of people who perform various services and contacts of people who need these services. It is a dangerous job mind you, but with wisdom you can secure a life changing percentage from a closed deal.

I really respect people who do side hustles like this to make ends meet, or just to try and stack as much capital as possible. 

Well, everything comes with process and definitely have no shortcuts, so trainings are very much essential so that you will suit to the job title and you will know eventually the do’s and dont’s of the job. These type of jobs will only be profitable if you also do them with experience and skills, otherwise you will not be an effective worker so you end up messing around than working to be productive.

The job title is nursing aide.

The qualifications are similar to a lifeguard afaik. They only have to know CPR and other basics which do not have a serious learning curve to them.

Content is king on this era and anything related to social media is one of the most profitable side hustles that one can make. I've worked before related to #10 and it's not lucrative before since social media wasn't that big before. But I'm starting to see that money is everywhere on this niche and someone has just to know the area of expertise that they need to focus with. And if somebody is aware of SMM (Social media marketing/managing), this should need a place on that list but that's okay if it's not there but many knows that it's very lucrative these days to get involved with.

Family assistant might not be a good idea, because in my country of you’re too helpful they will abuse you and use your service for free for their own sake, so this one might not be a good idea for a side hustle or maybe depends on the country you’re living.

Almost all of them require training, so the first paragraph of that article is misleading and they even mention the requirements themselves:


So, first you need training, so it's not like you have no clue you start working, you must go through training and learning, and if you're not good at it, then you don't get the job, just as QA, it's not like you go in the first day and they hand you a food bag and you're delivering pizza, you need to know how to do it and you might be a total wreck so you get kicked out before actually working even 1 minute.
As for the "sale specialist" how the hell can one be a sale specialist when he has no experience in sales whatsoever?
In order to be a sale specialist you must have at least basic knowledge so this is more like getting a better job than your past one!

"Few" requirements, to be a specialist, lol!

What a complete mix of professions. Funny that there is almost similar demand in nurses and drivers. A person must study years to become a real nurse (not just clean-feed-repeat kinda of person). Persons needs proper education, experience, be responsible. When you only need few weekends with your dad to learn how to drive, a book of traffic laws and few hours to pass tests.

• QA reviewers can work in a wide range of sectors like food safety, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and software.

Does that mean those who don't go through health/nursing school can enter to become the nurse assistant you mean?
 
I call it job vacancies where the impact of the resignation of workers in America makes it difficult for a company or a business to operate optimally due to a shortage of workers.
I thought I was interested, but I am not an American and of course far outside America, so it requires a fairly complicated administrative process and I have to leave my hometown to try my luck in America.
Can people outside of America get it?
In advance, I would like to thank you for the information.

As Americans try to save more money, these are the best jobs for those seeking extra income.

With pay raises set to disappoint and almost 40% of Americans resolving to save more in 2023, some are looking for new ways to generate extra income with a side hustle.

Even as the US job market remains strong, so does inflation, leading some to seek more money. While Labor Department data shows that wages rose 4.6% in December compared to a year earlier, that still lags inflation, which rose 7.1% in November from last year. Labor force participation ticked up in December and the unemployment rate dropped to 3.5%, a five-decade low.

“Given rising interest rates, inflation and other rising costs, people are more inclined to sign up for a side gig to cover the increasing cost of living,” said Sinem Buber, lead economist at ZipRecruiter. Side hustles also become more common in strong labor markets — like the one we’re in now — when opportunities are plentiful, Buber said. Lining up a second part-time job may also provide a cushion in case layoffs spill over from big tech into the rest of the economy.

ZipRecruiter analyzed listings to identify jobs that can be done part-time with few or no starting requirements and ranked them by average hourly wages. Some popular side hustles like blogging or content creation didn’t make the list because they’re typically freelance and not listed on job sites.

These are the 10 most profitable side-gigs, according to ZipRecruiter:
