5 More Ideas For Your Next Side Hustle(part 2)

Last time I posted 5 business ideas from my journal, I felt a bit of relief. Almost as if a weight has been removed from my back. Therefore, I am hoping to recreate that feeling by sharing 5 more.

#1 - Sell Your Car Prep Service - Pay a flat fee to arrange a quick detail & photo session of your vehicle. Using them will help your vehicle reach a broader market across Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace.

#2 - Instagram Image Downloader - For example, you have a hashtag for your wedding, then you want to download all the posts your guests took and posted. You would specify your hashtag, and it would go download them for your personal album.

#3 - Competition Management System - A SaaS that helps you identify your competition and keep tabs on them.

#4 - Social Cleaner - Clean up your social media after college... Looks like someone already created something like this - https://www.scrubber.social/

#5 - Rent It From Your Neighbor App - Pay to rent someone else's things. For example, your neighbor's leaf blower, edger, or mower. One major problem with this idea is that it basically requires your neighbors to list their things to show off to the rest of the neighborhood. Kind of a gray area between privacy and service.

Bonus Idea:
Sell responsive email templates. Every company I've ever worked at needs a good responsive email template. Help them out by creating your own and selling them as a pack via a landing page. Simple and sweet.

I hope these ideas will help spark your own creativity! Enjoy!

    Big fan of #5 can see this being super useful for expensive gardening tools that you only need to use 1-2 times a year

      Exactly! We all know that one neighbor that has a snow blower that we all wish we could use during the summer. Or that edger we are to cheap to purchase. These are perfect use cases.

  2. 2

    Nice list.

    I can imagine #3 being something like a webscaper keeping track of prices and features/changelog listed on a competitor's website. It can also send notifications when anything changes.

    However, I don't think obsessing over competition to that extent is a good for you in the long run :)

    1. 1

      But there's already Price2Spy, for example, which is quite successful. Woulnd't it be too hard to compete against them? In regard to price tracking, at least.

      1. 2

        I had never heard of Price2Spy before. Looks like their focus is niche. Only really focusing on monitoring the pricing of your competitors... not really providing much value beyond that.

        I was envisioning something more expansive.

        • Notifications upon them raising a new round of funding.
        • New Product Alerts
        • When they are mentioned in the news, when, where, and how often.
        • Industry News
        • Ability to find more companies that might be related to your own.
        • Reports on where you company fits within others... etc.
        • etc...
    2. 1

      So heavily agreed. I love obsessing over problems, but obsessing over competition doesn't sound healthy. I'm sure keeping track of it would be helpful, though...

      Even if you are just trying to validate your idea, having a platform to prove out competition would only solidify it more so. Course... One could also just Google their idea to see if competition already exists. lol

      Even if it isn't healthy, there may be a market for it in larger organizations such as their marketing department.
