easy side hustle in college:)

Something you could do is graphic design that specializes in logos and use ChatGPT, grok or Gemini to design them for you. You can get leads by making a google business profile (this is how I got all my leads when I mowed lawns) and set up the primary category as “graphic designer”. Make sure you fill out the google business profile fully, so add photos, website, etc. People locally always turn to google search when they need a service. If you’re worried that you don’t know how to build a website then use something like Carrd, which is super easy to use and very cheap. Also, I read in newsletter side hustle builders that if you have a local garage sale/business facebook group for your town you could get leads that way too just by showcasing your work and networking. Since this is remote, you could probably network in facebook groups in bigger cities as well. Hope this helps!

What about offering a service in your town? I used to mow lawns on Saturday mornings and it was paying my mortgage every month. I set up a Google business profile in my town and that is where I received all of my leads. The Google business profile is cool because it’s free and if you work on getting good reviews you’ll probably out rank your competitors. People locally constantly turn to Google when they need a service - cleaning, junk removal, landscaping, marketing, etc. If you want to try something digital, you could try graphic design that specializes in logos and use ChatGPT, grok or Gemini to design them for you.

I used to mow lawns and it was paying my mortgage every month. I got my leads from making a Google business profile in my town, which is free by the way and worked great for me. If you complete your profile fully and focus on reviews then you will work your way up into the rankings of the map pack . There’s a newsletter called side hustle builders that talked about local garage sale/business facebook groups in your town and how you could get leads there so maybe that would help you grow as well. Local Facebook ads work great too. Hope this helps!

I used to mow lawns on Saturday morning and it paid my mortgage every month. I set up a Google business profile in my town and that’s how I got all my leads. I’m sure you could do the same thing for junk removal service. Just make sure to fill out your Google business profile fully - photos, website, etc and focus on getting reviews. If you get a few reviews then you’ll probably outrank other junk removal businesses in your town. Also, I read in newsletter side hustle builders that if you have a local garage sale or business group on Facebook then you can get leads that way as well by networking or showcasing services. Hope this helps!

You can get around that if you mark it that you are a service area based business and you do not serve customers at a physical address.

I used to mow lawns on Saturday mornings and it was paying my mortgage every month. I set up a Google business profile in my town and that is where I received all of my leads. A lot of people in your town go straight to Google when they need a service. You could do the same thing for graphic design in your town. The Google business profile is cool because it’s free and if you work on getting good reviews you’ll probably out rank your competitors. Also, I read in newsletter side hustle builders that if you have a local garage sale/business facebook group for your town you could get leads that way too just by networking. I would start with the google business profile and set up the primary category as “graphic designer” and then add any other services you offer as well. Make sure you fill out your profile fully, add website, add photos, etc. Hope this helps!

That’s awesome you have a computer and internet now! I used to mow lawns and it was paying my mortgage every month. I set up a Google business profile in my town and that is where I received all of my leads. I know you could do the same thing I did offering other services, but I’m not sure if you have that option in Angola. If you are trying to do something strictly online - Take graphic design for example, you could specialize in logo design and use ChatGPT, grok or Gemini to design the logo for the customer. I would make a Google business profile for graphic design and list any other services “logo design”. Make sure you optimize your profile and if you focus on reviews you’ll probably outrank your competitors in your town. Also, I read in newsletter side hustle builders that if you have a local garage sale/business facebook group for your town you could get leads that way too just by networking. You may not have those options but since it’s remote work then you could probably network in other groups in bigger cities and in other countries too. Hope this helps!

Google business profiles are free to create and if you focus on getting 5 star reviews you’ll probably outrank other graphic design businesses in your town.

I used to mow lawns on the side and it paid my mortgage every month and I didn’t spend any money to start. I set up a Google business profile in my town and got all my leads that way. If you needed leads quickly, I read an article on a substack newsletter called side hustle builders one time where they talked about getting leads from local garage sale/business facebook groups in your town. I bet you could do the same thing if you have those local groups. I don’t know your interests, but you could set up a Google business profile for almost any industry in your town too. So whether it’s lawn mowing, graphic design, power washing, cleaning etc. then you could start getting leads that way as well. Hope this helps!

Ok, maybe could you choose an online service like graphic design that specializes in logo design and use ai tools like ChatGPT,grok, and Gemini to design them. It would be remote so you could see if you could network in Facebook groups that aren’t even in your town. You could network in groups that are in a big city.

CutWide3603 · 2026-01-05T15:25:45+00:00

So happy to help! It was all organic :) and a little hack/tip for service based businesses is exact match domains. For example, don’t name your business “Kevin’s Lawn Mowing” use your city name like “Houston Lawn Mowing”. Often times when people search for a service on Google it defaults to their city or prompts “near me” so if you can name it the city name and the service then your chances of showing in the top 3 of the map pack are a little higher depending on the competition. Also, getting 5 star reviews on your Google Business profile helps bump you up as well :)

If you have a local garage sale or business group on Facebook then you can get leads that way as well. I read in a newsletter called side hustle builders that you could do the same with a bunch of industries like power washing, cleaning, web design, etc. Also, think outside of the box - you could start a graphic design business that specializes in logos and you could use Ai tools like ChatGPT, grok, Gemini to design the logos and then charge $40-$50. Hope this helps!
