Today’s post about earning extra money offline with offline side hustles is by my awesome staff writer Jordann. Enjoy!
As we all know, Michelle is the queen of the side hustle. She has pretty much turned it into an art at this point.
If you need evidence of this, just take a read through her most recent extra income posts. It’s inspiring and impressive what she’s been able to achieve while still maintaining a full-time job.
While most blog posts about side hustles seem to focus on ways to make money online, I’d like to shine the spotlight on excellent side hustles that have nothing to do with the online world.
Finding ways to make money on the side has been around since the beginning of time, and although the digital world has opened up a million new possibilities for generating income, there are still several tried and true methods for earning a little extra cash that have nothing to do with the internet.

Babysitting to make side income offline.
I have a large family, and they all have kids. I don’t charge them when I babysit for them, but if I did, I would probably make a fair amount of cash with this gig. Babysitting is a very easy, fun and relaxing way to make a little extra money, especially if it’s in the evening. Typically kids go to bed early, and then the babysitter can just hang out and watch TV – and get paid for it!
House cleaning to earn extra money offline.
Most of the people around here who clean houses do it on a part-time, freelance basis. It can be a great way to make some extra cash. Usually there is a fair amount of freedom with this side job idea, and if you can’t find time to do homes during the day (when most home owners prefer their homes to be cleaned) many businesses prefer that office cleaners work in the evening, which would be perfect for the average full-time job holder.
Personally, I hate cleaning and find it disgusting, so it wouldn’t be the best side hustle for me, but I know several people who do it and find it very rewarding.
Gardening to make extra money offline.
Many of you probably knew an entrepreneurial kid who would mow lawns and rake leaves every summer and fall? Well, there’s no reason an adult couldn’t get in on the action!
Offering gardening, lawn mowing, and lawn clean up services is a great, seasonal way to earn some extra cash. If you charge by the hour, you’ll have no problem beating the cost estimates of full-time landscaping companies, since they have a lot of overhead to factor into their prices.
Most home owners will even provide the equipment necessary, so there’s no need for an initial capital investment.
I’ve been working on my side hustle since last August, and it’s coming along fairly well. I make most of my side hustle money through my blog and staff writing. My husband, on the other hand, is king of the offline side hustle. He does it all, painting, gardening, babysitting, whatever needs done, he’s your man. There’s definitely money to be made through side hustling offline, so if blogging isn’t your thing, give some of these options a try!

I babysit, but I know there are a whole bunch of other ways I could make money offline. Great post!
Thanks!
I used to pet sit and mow lawns when I was younger. It made a little money but nothing major. You can make some good money if you’re serious and turn it into a business, but then it’ll take up almost all of your non-working time!
Mowing lawns is definitely a good side hustle.
There’s an amazing side hustle florist in my city. She works with people’s gardens and gets money for that, and then gets to source local in-season flowers from the gardens for her wedding floral work (that’s part of her deal for the rates she charges).
It really is amazing the side hustles you can get going when you exercise your imagination!
Wow that’s a great idea for a side hustle!
I have a couple of side hustles, mostly online. They don’t bring in much, but every little bit helps! Babysitting would be a great avenue for me since it’s related to my career, but I haven’t had a lot of success in finding families since I do not know many people around here. I’ve been meaning to give more effort to sites like Sittercity or Care.com to find a few families to work for.
Thanks!
Most of my side hustles are online too. I need to branch out and have some offline ones as well though.
The Mr. has the offline side hustles in my household. He does mowing, landscaping, general yard cleanup, fence repair, wood splitting, etc. Between that and going to the gym, he’s lost more than 30 pounds! Double bonus. Most of my side income is made online.
I tried to convince my kids that they should have a business cleaning out bunny cages …. then they could sell the bunny poop to gardeners. They didn’t want to do it ??????

Michelle : how do you get from, ” that might be a good idea” to actually Doing it ? Why is taking action so much harder then just doing it ?
Congrats on helping bloggers get 750k ….. you should be proud. That has helped a lot of people. 🙂

I’ve been trying to make extra money by buying collectible items at thrift stores and then reselling them on craigslist to make some extra dough. I haven’t made lots of extra money but every bit is just extra gravy :p
I really don’t have anything YET. I sell some things on Amazon right now. But, am in the process of doing some homemade things and selling them on Etsy not to mention around the local area. I’m a work in progress…yes, I know i said I’m :).
