Hey what's going on guys my name is nolan mayfield and today i'm going to be
telling you about the 11 best college side hustles in fact we've
actually had someone who does all 11 of these on our channel so if
there's any that you're interested in you can watch a full video on it on this
very channel and because we know so much about these
side hustles we'll also be ranking them on
three critical factors profitability accessibility
and growth potential the higher the score the better for all of these
and we'll start with our lowest ranking side hustle to work up to what we
believe is the best possible college side hustle
so without wasting any time let's get
started and roll that intro
our number 11 side hustle is selling custom cards for things like graduations
and holidays this is a great side hustle for someone who is trying to turn
their passion for art into profit and is best done by selling cards
at farmers markets and getting them into boutique consignment stores
in fact you can even begin making some passive income by putting your cards in
consignment stores unfortunately this side hustle does
score a 1 out of 10 for profitability as you'll only be making around two to
three dollars per card sold it would take a lot of marketing and
effort even to make a couple hundred dollars
whereas other side hustles on this list can make you over ten
thousand dollars in a single month that would be nearly impossible selling cards
with that said it does score an 8 for accessibility as
it's pretty easy side hustle to get into you really don't need much besides some
basic art supplies and you can begin marketing through word
of mouth to family and friends and over social media for growth
potential this side hustle gets a 3 out of 10
as it is something that can be built over time and can begin to build a brand
locally but will likely never turn into a very
high paying source of income or a full-time gig
so even though the side hustle is our lowest scoring one with an overall score
of a four it's really just that low because it
isn't super profitable it's still a great side hustle though and pretty easy
to get into moving on our number 10 side hustle is
driving food delivery services for companies like postmates or grubhub
i'm not going to spend a ton of time on this one as it's probably something that
you're well familiar with but it scored a 2 for profitability a 10
for accessibility and a 1 for growth potential this gives
it an overall score of a 4.3 as it has a relatively low paying hourly
rate there's pretty much no way to increase how much you make per hour
besides reaching some incentives that the company does offer
but it is extremely easy to get into and like i said it does score a 10 for
accessibility at number nine we have taking senior portraits or
really any other freelance photography if you have an eye for photography which
a lot of people do nowadays you can turn this into a really great
source of side income in fact this gets a solid seven for
profitability as charging around 125 dollars for a shoot is typically below
most other professionals editing and driving included
this averages to over fifty dollars an hour but with that said it can be really
hard if not impossible to line up 30 to 40 hours of work each week
so pay definitely does vary for accessibility
this scores on the lower end with a three the main reason for this being
that professional photography equipment is very very expensive you can't get
into this very seriously using an iphone and that upfront cost can definitely be
a barrier to some for growth potential this side hustle
does get a 6 as like i mentioned it can be really hard to line up
consistent amount of jobs but it does still have
solid growth potential not only can you steadily increase your hourly rate
but this side hustle can also benefit a future career in the journalism and
videography fields so in conclusion this side hustle gets
an overall score of a 5.3 our side hustle ranking at number eight
is private tutoring and this is a awesome side hustle for anyone
specializing in an area of school like english or
math as there's really high demand for quality a ct and sat tutors
you don't to be a genius or really advanced calculus to do this though
as if you're patient and a strong communicator you can also tutor
elementary age students in a variety of subjects
for profitability this gets a six as it really does pay well
and here in the pacific northwest it's completely reasonable to
start out charging 20 or more an hour as an act or sat tutor
for accessibility private tutoring gets a five as you don't need to buy any
equipment to do this but it isn't necessarily that easy to
start out it really requires word of mouth referrals and getting that first
client will definitely be the hardest for growth potential this does get a
five as well even though your hourly rate can increase
as you tutor it for longer this might be hard to turn into a full-time gig
and it would rank higher if you could turn this into more of a business by
hiring other people to tutor in conclusion private tutoring gets an
overall score of a 5.3 as it's a very solid side hustle and
arguably one of the most well-rounded on our list in terms of profitability
accessibility and growth potential coming in next at number seven we have
babysitting i'm also not going to spend a ton of
time on this since it's so well known but babysitting is really an amazing
side hustle you can start doing it at a pretty young
age and there's a ton of demand for it it scores a 4 for profitability a 10 for
accessibility and a 2 for growth potential where i
live the going rate is about 15 an hour and it's also incredibly easy to
get into hence the 10 for accessibility unfortunately wages rarely increase and
there's really no long term play with babysitting so like
i said it does get a 2 for growth potential
giving it an overall score of a 5.3 at number six is a side hustle that you may
not know about which is selling art prints on etsy and
poshmark this can actually be another fantastic
way for artists to make money selling their art and we've interviewed
someone who made over three thousand dollars in two weeks
doing this that was with the help of an influencer
and that exposure is really important for this side hustle to work
and because of that this scores a four for profitability as there is the
potential to make a ton of money but it just varies so much there isn't a
lot of consistency with how much you'll make on a weekly basis
as it depends so much on publicity and getting traffic
similarly accessibility scores a six you really don't need much
to start doing this besides some basic art supplies and access to a print shop
you also will need to set up an etsy shop which is pretty simple
to really succeed you do need access to a large audience
but to just start with family friends isn't too tough
growth potential is really high for selling art prints it scores an eight as
there is a ton of potential to make a lot of money doing this in the long term
if you do it long enough and build a following on social media
you can get repeat business in your shop and consistently make a really high
income this gives selling our prince an overall
score of a six and to be frank is the side hustle that i would pursue
if i were an artist now before we get into the final five
highest rated side hustles which i'm very excited to talk about
i just want to take a quick pause to ask you to smash that like button
it does a lot for the youtube algorithm and as a small channel it actually makes
a huge difference also another quick reminder that we have
a full video on each side hustle listed here
which i've never seen a channel do so definitely make sure to check those out
now let's get back to it our number five top rated side hustle is caddying
catting is an amazing side hustle for teens and college students
and not only pays really well but it can also lead to incredible internship and
career opportunities just through the connections that you're
going to make doing it having personally done it
it's also super fun and it has great perks just free golfing
in terms of pay caddying gets a six for profitability
as it pays well but there is huge variance on some days caddies can wait
for hours to get picked up and end up making less than eight
dollars an hour or not even get hired but on tournament weekends it's
completely realistic that they can also make hundreds of dollars in a matter of
two days we're giving this side hustle a four for
accessibility mostly because a lot of areas don't have country clubs and there
can be quite a drive to get there a lot of country clubs also don't let
students caddy in addition to that it requires training and definitely
requires knowledge of the game this side hustle does have amazing
growth potential though and it gets an eight for this the more
you caddy the less you'll have to wait in line for jobs
as you can get regulars who will specifically plan around with you
and and at the end of it tip you more because of this
caddying has great growth potential and can even become a potential career
if you start doing this professionally this side hustle gets an overall score
of a six at number four we have reselling hype
clothing such as limited edition sneakers
streetwear and potentially even designer clothing
this is something that is pretty well known as a way to make some extra money
and i think because of that it has gotten a little bit over saturated
but it is still a great way to make money brands such as supreme
vape kith nike and yeezy can have a huge resell market
that you can tap into from your laptop just laying in bed
for profitability the side also gets a six as there can be a ton of money to
make in a short amount of time single items can get you hundreds to
thousands of dollars and i've personally made a substantial amount of money doing
this myself for accessibility this does get a five
for two reasons first you need to have capital to get
into this and not everyone has a significant amount amount of cash
laying around which they're ready to invest into expensive clothing
secondly the site also really requires a trained eye
that can spawn items with solid resale potential
which can take experience and also a lot of research with that said
it's something that you can really get into with your laptop from home which i
think is pretty awesome for growth potential this score is an
eight as there's almost nothing stopping someone from growing
this from a side hustle and to a full business
in fact there's an amazing complex documentary called sold out
which shows people who have turned this into a full-time job
all things considered this side hustle gets a 6.3 as it's really lucrative
easy to get into and also has a lot of long-term potential for income growth
at number three we have pressure washing and in general home maintenance and yard
work are excellent side hustles for students
to make some money but pressure washing is particularly
profitable it's a highly valued and highly demanded
skill that is often considered contractor work
and because of this i actually started pressure washing at a pretty young age
i'm now consistently making over fifty dollars an hour and a thousand dollars a
week which is why this gets an aid for
profitability even if you don't have experience though you can still
reasonably charge twenty dollars an hour as a beginner in pressure watching which
is pretty incredible accessibility does rank much lower at a
three however as you will have to buy equipment to get
into this side hustle this can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars up
to a thousand or potentially more for professional equipment which will
help you get the job done faster once you have that equipment though
you'll also have to market yourself and build a customer base which does take
time this site also has a ton of potential
for growth though and it gets a nine here
pressure washing is something that can turn into a full-scale business as
if you get big enough you can hire others to do the work and focus simply
on lining up the jobs this allows you to expand dramatically
as you aren't limited by your time or geography
additionally you can also move up into commercial pressure watching
which is an entire world of its own and there's a lot of money to be made there
in other words there's a lot of potential for you to grow your income in
this side hustle over time so all things considered this side also
gets an overall score of a 6.7 as it's highly profitable and has a lot
of growth potential but it isn't necessarily very accessible
the side also coming in at number two is one that you would never expect or
probably even think of but it's throwing parties with an
entrance fee we've interviewed someone who does this
whose video will be posted in the coming weeks but he makes
thousands of dollars a month just by throwing parties
and even though it isn't a ranking factor this has definitely got to be one
of the most fun side hustles on this whole list
as well as one of the most profitable in fact it is the only one ranking a 10 for
profitability as you can literally make thousands of
dollars in a single night by doing this and with that said it does require
really great event planning skills communication and also crisis response
which probably isn't for everyone in fact
this side hustle was the lowest scoring for accessibility and it gets a one
in other words you can't just decide to really get into this on a whim and it's
really tough to pull off successfully the person we interviewed for the side
hustle has over 7 000 followers on snapchat and through
that can get hundreds of people to his parties
but without that following it would definitely be a lot harder in fact
to really pull off the side hustle you need a large and loyal group of
supporters who will always show up moving on the side also gets a 9 for
growth potential as this will slowly become more
profitable over time there's really no limit to how big
throwing parties can get and we've seen people do this partner
with nightclubs and even dabble in planning concerts
in fact this side also can turn into a full career of event planning and
promotion which gives it a really solid growth
potential all things considered this side also is ranked in overall 6.7
as it's a gold mine of a side hustle but it's very difficult to get into
the final side hustle which i know you've been waiting for and the absolute
best one on this list without even coming close
is reselling workout equipment on platforms like craigslist
next door and offer up in fact we've made a video on someone who has made
over twenty five thousand dollars doing this since the start of quarantine
you can go ahead and watch it on the channel for more info but this side also
ranks highly on every category landing a 10 for
profitability a 9 for accessibility and a 7 for growth
potential not only is it extremely lucrative and
pays about 100 to 250 dollars an hour but is also pretty easy to get into
anyone can start by surfing these marketplaces and looking in the free
sections for deals and assuming you can transport you can
flip these items for really quick cash it also has solid growth potential as
the person we interviewed who does this hires others to pick up his items and
has them deliver them as well so he can do everything hassle free from home
this is by far our highest rated side hustle and it gets an overall score of
an 8.7 as it is highly profitable accessible
and has amazing growth potential now i need to be honest with you guys
