Whether it’s to pay the bills, supplement your savings, or help you take that vacation to the Caribbean, side-hustles are an awesome way to make more money while working full-time. Over the past few decades, we’ve redefined what success and accomplishment look like, and it’s not uncommon for many women to have a side-hustle or passion project outside their standard working hours.
Earning extra cash always sounds great, but the problem becomes—how do you juggle multiple jobs while working full-time? It doesn’t need to be as taxing as it sounds; there are plenty of flexible side-hustles that allow you to create a schedule that works for you and capitalize on your individual skill set to bring in the big bucks.

We’ve done the research for you and have compiled a list of 30-plus side-hustles that don’t require you to completely change your lifestyle:

2. Cleaning service
Cleaning is a great side-hustle. You can either begin work with an established cleaning agency or list your skills on sites like housekeeper.com that’ll help match you with families or individuals in need of your services.
3. Driving for a ride-sharing service
This is the perfect outlet for women looking to rake in some more cash on their own time. If you sign up to be a driver with ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft, you’ll get to create your own schedule, whether that means driving just mornings, nights, or weekends (some even make the drive part of their morning commute!).
4. Blogging
Are you passionate about food? Technology? Fashion? Travel? Whatever your interests are, you can find your niche and make some extra money with Google Adsense by allowing advertisements on your blog site.
5. Airbnb hosting
Do you travel often or have an extra room in your home? Rent your place out on Airbnb to supplement your income. In 2017, female hosts in the U.S. earned an average $6,600 on Airbnb, and what’s even cooler, in 2016, more than 10,000 female hosts earned $50 million in income through Airbnb and used it to launch a new business or as direct investment capital for a new business.
6. Pet caretaking
With services like Rover, you can be paid to walk someone’s dog, drop-in and give a pet a potty break, or house sit for a family going out of town. Rover users can make around $1,000 per month if they treat it like a part-time job, and it’s a great way to up your step count after sitting in an office all day.
7. Charging scooters
You know those electric scooters that are taking U.S. cities by storm? Yep, you can make money off of charging scooters for companies like Lime and Bird. This is the perfect hustle for night owls and early-risers. All you have to do is pick up the scooters after 9 p.m., charge them at your home overnight, and release them back to the public before 7 a.m. You can make anywhere from $4 to $10 per charged scooter.
8. Tutoring
Were you a whiz in calculus or biology in school? You can harness your skills and knowledge to tutor kids online without even leaving your couch.
