What are the best side hustles for tech workers?
If you’re looking to translate your in-demand skills into an extra income stream, you’re in the right place.
Even though tech workers earn a 6-figure salary (on average), a side hustle can still be a way to boost your savings, improve cash flow, or pay down debt.
How do you make extra money in a low-risk way? One method I keep coming back to is the idea of starting a consignment business.
So you’re selling other people’s stuff and just taking a percentage. They get paid, you get paid, and you’ve got no upfront inventory risk like you’d have with a traditional physical product business.
Sarah McAffry of Statemint Consignment earned over $10,000 from her first consignment event and has continued to grow from there. She has been crushing it in this space for the last 10 years, and it has now expanded to 23 locations across the country.
More than 150,000 women have completed Tiffany “The Budgnetista” Aliche’s Live Richer Challenge. The roughly 30-day challenge participants step-by-step instructions on how to get their financial lives in order, get out of debt, and start saving money.
Collectively, Tiffany’s tribe has saved $17 million and paid off $1.5 in debt!
This year, The Budgnetista expects to bring in more than $500,000 from speaking, book sales, sponsors and affiliate relationships, and a new private membership academy.

ProductTube says you can earn “hundreds of dollars each month” making short videos about everyday products.
But does it deliver?
ProductTube is a legit app that pays you — in Amazon gift cards — to share your opinions about your online and in-person shopping experiences.
It probably won’t fund your retirement, but you can earn some extra money with relatively little effort. Our independent app tester, Joddie Taylor, earned over $100 in two months, very part-time.
It’s always inspiring to reconnect with longtime friends of The Side Hustle Show, and Debbie Gartner aka the Flooring Girl is one of them.
Over the last few years, she’s turned her love for simple, creative projects into a $4,000-per-month digital product business on Etsy. What started as a personal outlet has grown into a scalable side hustle.
There have been a few requests for a Progress Report update, so wanted to take some time this week to give a behind-the-scenes look at the last year or so of the business of Side Hustle Nation.

Sometimes the simplest ideas can lead to remarkable success.
That’s certainly the case for Gary Grewal, founder of Cal Box Rental, a moving box rental service that has grown from a college student’s brainstorm to a successful side hustle generating $1,000 in monthly recurring revenue.
For the last 10 years, he has been renting out moving boxes with a low start-up cost, consistent and increasing demand, and only a few hours per week to run on the side of his day job.
One of the most common questions I get is, “What if I don’t have any skills? Can I still start a side hustle?”
On the one hand, I totally get that feeling.
If you’re a teacher, tutoring might seem like an obvious side gig. If you’re an accountant, you could freelance or start a bookkeeping business.
But not everyone’s skills neatly align with a natural side hustle. So what do you do if you don’t think you have any marketable skills? Is there still a path to earning extra income on the side?
Yes, there absolutely is! And that’s what I’m breaking down in this post—your four options to start a profitable side hustle, even if you think you’re skillless today.
