For many women, safety is something they have to think about every day.
You never really know when or where you might feel at risk—whether you’re walking down the street, at work, or even at home. So when TikToker Cassidy started looking for a side hustle, she wanted one that wouldn’t put her in uncomfortable or unsafe situations, like Uber driving or food delivery.
Instead of guessing, she turned to the internet for advice, asking for side hustles that feel safe. And people came through with tons of helpful recommendations!
Check them out below, and if you have more to add, drop them in the comments!

I do gift wrapping! People drop off their gifts, I wrap them, and they pick them up.
I do all the boring research assistant/data entry stuff for researchers and consultants 🥰 my rate is $30-$45/hr depending on the technicality of the job
I do Amazon Flex, I work at a whole food & scan returned packages. That’s it. Super simple. I make $19-$25 an hour & I can choose when I want to work as long as I get atleast 4 hours a week.
Print on demand! I was able to quit my teaching career from it!
Isn't it sad that so many teachers get side hustles and then just end up leaving education? Friend's husband quit being a maths teacher to driving for Uber - though he was in his 50's and got some sort of retirement out of it. He could have stayed teaching but he'd had his fill.
On Rev, you can transcribe audio/video or do captioning. all online and I think it's like $0.30 a minute or something
I used that service all the time at my last job. AI captions are not great with medical terms.
I work as a bartender at a brewery. Great money, it’s not open super late, and people just don’t get drunk at breweries like they do at bars.
I publish content updates for brands on their websites. It’s a weird little niche to get into but it pays.
see if your local hospital is hiring patient sitters, you sit with patients 1:1, don’t need any special licenses and classes needed the hospital provides
Furniture flipping! My husband and I did this together. Got desks and dresssers for free off FB marketplace, sanded for HOURS and stained! Worth it!
I do rover* and make minimum $3k a month
*dog walking and pet sitting app (editor's note)
I wish I was a dog person, this seems like such a fun job. There is a dog sitting service in the town next to me that will take your dogs on hikes. Dream job for someone I'm sure! Now if I could only get someone to pay me to hike alone...
I got a casual job doing admin work at a hospital and work like 1 or 2 4-hour evening shifts a week & make an extra $400 or so every pay
I work for a company that cares for people w/ disabilities! I work in their homes just helping w/ cooking, playing games etc. I just do weeknds but weekly I earn $600-700 the pay is AMAZING!!! & easy
There’s an app called WorkWhile and you can pick up shifts at different businesses or companies a lot better than putting a whole bunch of mileage and wear and tear on your car
OK, great. There's a freaking app for everything. But my question is, how do you actually get some of these jobs? Without having to download a million useless stupid apps?
Apply to research studies! You’ll get paid from $75 - $450 depending on the study. It’ll say if money will be deposited, given a gift card or check
And where/how do you find these studies? A little more detail here, people.
My fertility nurse told my husband to donate his plasma 😂 in our area there is a place that pays about $700 per month!
The only donation that is paid for around here are eggs. The rest is free, and we are great donors 🙌
I was a sample alcohol girl at liquor stores, the company would send me an email of availabile jobs and dates/locations and you click yes or no if you can do it! $30/hr and you get to keep the alc
If you have any design, planning, artistic skills you could create art or templates (budget spreadsheets, diaries/planners etc) and sell PDF downloads on Etsy!!
At a front desk at a gym on weekends or weekday nights. I just went up to different gyms and studios to see who was hiring.
Art modeling!! Become a figure model for a local class. Depending on where you live and how good you are, you can make $30-50/hr
I used to do that eons ago, when l was younger. Best paying job I've ever had. And they paid WAY more than 50$/h (different currency and adapted to inflation)
I cleaned offices 3-4 nights a week. I’d still be doing it if my husbands work schedule wouldn’t have changed. 😂 I loved it. It was only 2-3 hours and super easy.
Travel agent!!! I looooove it and can do it whenever/wherever I want
I've never even used a travel agent and nobody i know has either. I didn't realize this was still a profession.
Merchandising. Which is basically just taking pictures in stores. Sometimes (if you want) restocking stuff. SUPER EASY!! I use three different apps.
If there are any country clubs near you, see if they need banquet servers for events. The ones near me pay 200-400 per event for a handful of hours.
front desk at workout studio! if you like to workout you'll usually get a discount/free classes so you'll be making money & saving money all at once
Teaching Pilates! it is a high upfront investment but I was able to pay myself back pretty quickly.
Bartend private events. You get to pick and choose whatever shifts work for you and can be great money
I’m spicy dancer and work twice a week.
You mean a stripper? Or you dance around shaking a bunch of guajillos? I'm confused
honestly I work at a pizza place in the evening. it pays great and place tips. but I did Rover and made good money.
PLEASE see if you have a food testing place near you!! Theres one near me that pays anywhere from $25-$50 for 15 minutes of testing foods that haven’t come out yet!! Definitely worth it if possible
I worked part time at Target, just in the evenings 6p-10pm in fulfillment and loved it.
Go to farmers markets and ask small businesses to run their social media. More accounts you can run, more money 🥰
i do shipt once or twice a day. i choose the order i want to pick up, go to target, shop their order, and drop it off in under an hour
Find a local family that needs a babysitter some nights. I used to babysit and get paid for sitting on the couch with their kids for hours while they watched tv or played with their toys.
I do private lessons/tutoring online and in person in my town for younger kids, it pays well and if you're strictly online it's honestly as sage as it can get. in person works for me
I have 5 side hustles . Etsy, brand deals, UGC, digital products , YouTube (upload 1 min TikTok’s to YouTube shorts monetized at 2,000 followers )
sell off anything you don't use, don't wear etc...3 month rule, if you haven't physically picked it up in three months - sell it! I was selling items, some for under $10 and the money adds up!
I started working part-time at a hotel. Interesting people. Little discounts on hotels. Overall not bad. Paying off debt as well
Brand ambassador/ product specialist gigs! small events usually 3hrs for $35-$50hr or larger events 1-3 days for 800-1k
Air bnb co host!!!! Omg I wish more people would do this 🫶🏼
All of these people buying up properties to rent them out as Air bnb properties are making it harder for families to buy homes themselves. Families can't afford to buy houses because so many possibly affordable houses are bought up as investments, used as Airbnb "money making" properties.
Create and sell ai generated art, through wallpaper subscriptions, on stock photo sites, or use a print on demand company for physical items like posters. ✨Can be done all from your phone!
It's f****d up that so many people need a side gig just to stay afloat. We're overdue for a revolution
