3 Side Hustles I’d Start In 2025
Do you want to make some extra cash in 2025?
I’m sharing 3 side hustle ideas that I’d start this year. I’ll share the idea, why I like it, offer ideas, and how you can get customers.
I like these ideas because they have minimal startup costs and have potential to turn into full-time businesses — but they can also be a great side hustle that you work on a day or two per week.
1. Home Services
I’m going to share some AI-related business ideas, but I want to start on the other side of the spectrum. Work you can do with no fears of being replaced by AI.
Home services include a service you offer to do at the client’s house.
The key here is to focus on things wealthier people are buying on a regular basis. You want to offer a regular service so you have predictable revenue and higher lifetime customer value.
Some ideas include:
- Pool cleaning
- Car detailing
- Music lessons
- Power washing
- Dog grooming
- Dog poop cleanup
- Bike / Car maintenance

You can solve a simple problem that people don’t want to do and profit.
Most of these service businesses can be started for a few hundred dollars. But, you don’t want to buy all the equipment before you have customers. Your first priority is to find someone who’s interested in your service.
And if you’re starting something new, you want to see if you enjoy it before making a big investment of time or money.
Is there any demand for your offer?
Post in a local Facebook group and say:
“I’m starting a XYZ company and want to offer the service to 3 people for free.”
You can get appointments booked before you invest any money.
It’s exactly what I did when I started car detailing. I booked two appointments, then I went to the store and got the basics that I needed to wash their cars.
