It’s that time of year again — Thanksgiving!
This summer, we caught part of the Rubik’s Cube World Championships in Seattle. The fastest solvers in the world can solve a 3×3 cube in under 5 seconds.
But what really caught my attention? There was $5,000 in prize money for first place. Another reminder that just about any skill is monetizable if you’re committed enough.
And nothing gets me more excited than finding cool, creative ways to make extra money and sharing them with you.
This is our 9th annual Thanksgiving tradition — a roundup of 10 of the most interesting and inspiring side hustles that crossed my desk this year. We’ve got product businesses, service businesses, and content businesses. Something for everyone in what’s always one of my favorite episodes to put together.
This is the 9th installment of the series, so check out the previous episodes if you like this format. Grab the full playlist here.
Want to build a six-figure cleaning business where your customers do all the cleaning?
That’s exactly what Cheyenne Bulloch built with Domestic Daydreams, combining free public domain radio shows with a near-universal problem: keeping your house clean.
Cheyenne is a longtime Side Hustle Show listener who turned a creative idea into a recurring revenue business.
For $25 a month or $45 a quarter, she sends members six private podcast episodes a week featuring old public domain radio shows (think Dragnet and classic crime dramas) interspersed with cleaning routines and instructions.
Instead of commercial breaks, you get prompts like “now go fold some laundry.” And with over 500 members, the concept is clearly resonating.
Nathan Barry went from working at Wendy’s to running a software company doing $2.5M in revenue every month.

If you’ve never heard of aura photography before, that’s totally fine. But whether you believe in energy fields or not, Summer’s strategic approach to building this business offers valuable lessons for any event-based side hustle.

Looking to make extra money for Christmas?
You’re not alone!
The average American spent over $900 on Christmas last year.
In this post, we’ll share our top side hustle picks to make extra money for the holidays.
Let me tell you about the side hustle I wouldn’t have believed if I hadn’t seen it myself.
Jeff Rose from Good Financial Sense is earning over $1,000 per day by posting content on Facebook. And a lot of it is just screenshots of other people’s tweets.
He cracked the code of Facebook’s content monetization program, where the platform pays creators to keep users engaged.
The more time you spend scrolling, the more advertising dollars Facebook makes — and they’re sharing that revenue with content creators like Jeff.
In this episode, Jeff pulls back the curtain on exactly how he built this income stream in less than a year, working just a few hours per week.
