Side hustles for people over 30
Updated | By East Coast Radio / Udesha Moodley-Judhoo
In this day and age, not having a side hustle is not an option.
It seems as if we have to commit to a side hustle these days to make ends meet.
For some, it is about pursuing something they are passionate about, so it is already set out for them.
But for others, finding side hustles that match their likes can be tricky. Sometimes, we just fall into side hustles, and it works, but if you are going to earn some money on the side, then you should at the very least enjoy it.
If you are in your thirties and are from a generation of smartphone users, then we have some options for you.
AI content assistant or Virtual assistant
"Businesses are looking for ways to create marketing brochures, blog posts, LinkedIn posts and more on a regular basis. That’s where the AI content assistant comes in. This person would take the wording from meetings, conferences, webinars and so on and turn it into this material." (CNBC)
With the introduction of ChatGPT, the ease of doing things has evolved. You can learn how to use the tools and offer your assistant services on sites like Fiver or Upwork.

Selling clothes/items of interest online
This has proven to be a hit with people who conform to the Facebook Marketplace era.
But it seems finding your niche product isn't as difficult as you would think. All you have to do is search for products that interest you on the platform and work out a plan for reselling and making a profit.
It's more about making connections and finding a network than anything else.
Teaching or tutoring
You won't know how much this is required if you are not actually in it. Many parents want private tutors for their kids.
This boomed during the pandemic and has now become somewhat of a profitable side hustle for many people.
Of course, you would need to have an educated background in the field of teaching. But sharing your tutoring services is definitely something you should work on.
Up your game by doing a few online courses to spruce up your resume. And get yourself out there.
