Earn Money Losing Weight
Healthy Wage is a site that gives you the opportunity to earn money while you're losing weight.
When you go to the site, you are asked your current height, weight, and waist size.
You choose how much weight you want to lose and in what amount of time you feel that you can accomplish your goal.
You know the saying, “you need to spend money to make money” for this program you place a bet on yourself.
Here's an example: I entered that I would l like to lose 30 pounds over the next 6 months and I'd bet $20 per month that I could accomplish that goal. If I accomplish it, I'll win just over $220. That's almost double what I'd bet on myself.
The amount you bet determines the amount you can potentially win. In other words, the more you bet the more you'll win… but that's obviously riskier.
This is a great way to help motivate yourself while accomplishing your weight loss goals.
Plus, it's one of the best side hustles for vacation money! Just think of the new vacation you could be taking with your earnings!
Be A Surrogate Juror
Wow, I didn't even know that this position existed! You can be a surrogate juror in a mock trial to help lawyers test out the response of jurors for their upcoming trials. There are a few companies that provide this opportunity.
EJury pays between $5 to $10 per case depending on the length of the case and can take between thirty minutes to an hour to complete. You will receive your payments online through PayPal.
Online Verdict is another company that will pay between $20 to $60 and should only take twenty minutes to an hour to complete depending on the length of the mock trial. This company pays by check once a month, and you should receive your first payment within two weeks of completing your mock trial.
If you're anything like me, I've been training for this side hustle my entire life by reading Nancy Drew books and watching episodes of Law & Order.
Become A Tutor
If you enjoy teaching children, then you might want to look into becoming a tutor at home. There are many different sites such as VIPKID, Chegg, and Revolution Prep.
My friend Kelley Franks has been doing VIPKID for several years and she even did some YouTube videos so you can see what it's all about.
Virtual tutors make an average of $400 per month and they get to make their own hours. Plus there is no long-term contract to sign.
Note that some of the positions require at least a bachelor's degree.
You never know how your love of math (or just being able to pronounce English words) could help a child in school. It's one of the best side hustles that helps you and the student.

Use Apps To Sell Big Stuff
Apps such as Let Go, Offer Up, and Next Door gives you the flexibility to sell any unwanted stuff like furniture or exercise equipment (best laid plans didn't pan out… I get it).

If you have a stash of unwanted CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, video games, or cell phones and tablets, then you'll want to check out an app named Decluttr.

Just download the Decluttr app, and you can start scanning barcodes or answering questions to see how much you can get for your items.
