According to a survey from Zapier<\/a>, 34% of Americans have some sort of side hustle.<\/p>\n

This isn't too surprising when you consider how gig economy apps and technology empower people to make extra money on their own schedule. But, what if you could team up with your partner to launch your next side hustle?<\/p>\n

Well, that's what this guide is all about. Today, I'm covering 10+ of the best side hustles for couples that you and your partner can use to start making more money together.<\/p>\n

The Best Side Hustles For Couples<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Some of the best side jobs for couples involve partnering on ways to make money online<\/a>. In contrast, some couple side hustles involve starting an in-person business or side gig with your significant other. Think about the type of work you enjoy and both of your skills, and then dive into this list!<\/p>\n

1. Sell On Etsy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One popular side hustle idea for couples is to start your own Etsy shop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Selling on Etsy comes with a few benefits compared to other online marketplaces. And it's one of the best beginner-friendly ecommerce platforms out there.<\/p>\n

Plus, Etsy specializes in anything handmade, antique, or vintage. This makes it an extremely lucrative, digital side hustle<\/a> for couples who can create homemade products.<\/p>\n

Additionally, starting an Etsy store is very simple: you just sign up with your email to launch your shop and you don't need to know any coding. For fees, Etsy only takes a $0.20 listing fee and a 5% transaction fee whenever you make a sale.<\/p>\n

You also have lots of options for what you can sell, including apparel, artwork, candles, jewelry, stickers<\/a>, and so much more. Plus, you can always launch a print on demand store on Etsy<\/a> if you and your partner are too busy to manufacture handmade goods yourself.<\/p>\n

2. Start A Couple Blog<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Blogging can become a very lucrative source of passive income<\/a> when done right. The only catch is that it takes some time and effort to build up.<\/p>\n

However, the reason blogging is a great side hustle for couples is that a team of two can get a blog up and running much faster than a solo blogger. And, once you start getting some traffic to your blog, you can monetize it with ads from companies like Mediavine<\/a>, sponsored posts, and affiliate marketing.<\/p>\n

There's also a\u00a0lot\u00a0<\/em>of income potential here as you grow your traffic. For example, Tom has been blogging for four years, but WebMonkey made $92,000 in 2021<\/a>. And it then <\/strong>made $272,000 in 2022<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

And, as a couple, you can potentially try a lot of different blogging niches that cater well to having two perspectives. Some of my favorite niches include DIY, lifestyle, personal finance, parenting, relationships, food<\/a>, and travel.<\/p>\n

My advice is to pick a niche, learn SEO, start producing content, market that content on social media, monetize your blog, and watch it grow over time. And you can start your own blog with an affordable domain name and hosting from a company like SiteGround<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

3. Start A Youtube Channel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Like blogging, starting a Youtube channel is one of the best side hustles for couples to make money if you want to build an asset that creates passive income.<\/p>\n

There are also a lot of ways to split the work here. For example, as a couple, one person can record videos while the other person edits. Alternatively, you can start a couples YouTube channel where you're both on screen to talk about whatever topics you cover in your niche.<\/p>\n

Once your channel gets monetized, you begin earning income through Google AdSense revenue. This can turn into a nice income stream as well, and Tom's channel<\/a> currently makes $100 a day<\/a> or more in ad revenue:<\/p>\n

Again, this income source takes time to build. But once your videos rank, they basically make money on autopilot<\/a> for months or years to come.<\/p>\n

4. Childcare Gigs<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Childcare gigs consist of things like babysitting, driving to school, or even tutoring.<\/p>\n

The best part about being a responsible couple is that you\u2019re instantly more reputable to watch over a child. Knowing that your child is being taken care of by two people can immediately make a client feel more safe.<\/p>\n

The average babysitter makes around $15-$20 an hour, but you might be able to squeeze more out of clients as a couple. Plus, some families actually run at-home daycare services and watch over several kids at once, turning a side hustle into a legit business<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Similarly, tutoring is a great choice if you\u2019re already a teacher or advanced in a certain subject. Pitch your services through word of mouth or take advantage of apps like Care.com<\/a>, Sittercity, and Tutor.com to find your first clients.<\/p>\n

This is also a great stay at home dad job<\/a> or stay at home mom job where one person takes on most of the work and the other helps out after work.<\/p>\n

5. Invest Together<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you and your partner are\u00a0focused on growing your wealth for the future, why not invest together?<\/p>\n

There can be potential investment and tax benefits for married couples. But it doesn't matter if you both invest in a joint account or in individual investment accounts, it's never a bad idea to invest for your future.<\/p>\n

There are also numerous options you can consider to create investment income<\/a>, including<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
