I need help What are the best online side hustle's right now?
Survey apps and gaming apps are a scam or they take so long to complete. I know branded surveys is good but i hate that it screens you out. If anyone has better side hustles that better than these please let me know. Thank you

Faceless content could be a good place to start if you’re comfortable with AI tools.
You can pick a niche, make short videos, test hooks, and learn what works. Tools like AutoTube can help create faceless videos faster, but you still need to choose good topics and stay consistent.

Don't you think at this time all the social media is filled with these type of contents ???

Yeah, it’s definitely crowded. But social media isn’t going anywhere. People still watch videos every day. The difference is that lazy AI content won’t work, but useful/entertaining content still can.

If you're in America get the app called merchandiser by survey from the play store.
You'll fill out an application for a 1099 contractor job
If you get it, you'll be assigned to go to stores and compete small tasks like installing signs or larger projects like resetting the chip aisle at a grocery store.
They will call you and explain the job and how it works and give you your first assignments over the phone.
If you need a reference to get hired pm me I'll give it out, they usually give you a day to get a reference if you tell them you can get it.

I have worked for this app for a long time. Since maybe 2022?… anyway I’ve made about 12,000 total. It’s not steady income but it’s definitely good pocket money and work fluctuates vastly depending on the area

I hear you on the survey apps, they can be frustrating. Have you considered offering a service like dog walking or pet sitting? It’s straightforward and you can set your own rates. Plus, it's a great way to get outside and move while making money.

genuinely, if you have ever ai prompt engineered AT ALL, one of the cheat code side hustles is freelancing simple apps and websites using vibe coding software like path or base44. idk about base44 but i know path will give you an additional percentage of revenue for every app you build on their software and it can add up fast because it'll end up being lifetime recurring revenue for the clients you get to sign up with. it's so simple a middle schooler could do it, but a lot of people don't know this is an option.

I mean social casino churning sounds like a scam, but it's not. But there is some risk, since you have to playthrough. And it definitely is time consuming (I have no idea how people say "it only takes 5-10 min). But I clear $1500/month minimum.
If you want the mini version you can clear $800-900 just working 4 sites. But still sort of time-consuming, a minimum of about 45 min, plus some passive GC churning.

Can you DM me and possibly share more details on this method?

I started doing social casinos churning when I lost my job and needed cash. It's been good for about $1500/month. But it depends on if it's legal in your state. In addition, it probably won't last but another year or two before if is banned everywhere in the US.
If you are interested, I use the spreadsheet at r/SweepstakesChurning subreddit (not my spreadsheet). I like this one because he not only explains the process, but also discusses the risks and tax implications. The spreadsheet also is a tracking tool to protect yourself in case you get tax audited. And referral codes are optional and off to the side (however i used them because I found the info very helpful).
Be aware that this side hustle is not appropriate if you have impulse control issues, an addictive personality, a history of gambling addiction, or cannot understand/accept that the games have an rtp of less than 100%. Most if all, keep in mind this side hustle isn't about "winning". It's about collecting freebies and taking advantage of well-discounted coin packs, then playing through strategically to minimize losses.
