How many on here have “side hustles”?

[Butcher's Coat]

Never ever needed to work a side-line/hustle or 2nd job.
Always earned enough money with my job to ensure this.

 

[MackneyHackem]

“Side hustle” ffs.

I used to do embroidered t-shirts and had a few bouncy castles

Hi HMRC. Caught any yet?

You were quite happy to take advantage of the non-VAT, tax evading service provided which in turn lowers prices.

 

[Yankee Mackem]

I need it. I'm on a zero hour contract.

Come and fix my new car

I had one until about 6 years ago when it became to much with having two young kids and a full time job.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Aye. Just freelance of my day job. Pays well for little work though, although even then I still get lazy.

Do (I don't) door to door knocking for the electoral roll earns you £600 ish, then you get invited (maybe) to work at polling stations on referendum and election days. Either on the day or the count afterwards. I think that earns you a few hundred quid too.

Stopped doing them when Podgy died - he used to get a lot off me for his various jaunts - lost interest and sold the kit , wish I had kept it now

Many, many moons I used to design customized skateboard decks and sell them. Didn't make much but it was fun.

What sort monk?

Me and wife have a website selling furniture, mostly Scandinavian and a bit of antique. Getting far to hard now, to many at the same game.

Shame, sounded good.

No worries. For us, our problem is picking songs. There are so many to choose from! In the past, we have put off gigs to nail 10 songs that we can add to the set. It can still take time to get some songs right. 'Welcome to the Jungle' probably took six months before we were happy with it. In terms of bass playing, play what you want within reason. If there's a strong, recognisable bass line then I play it. If not, I play what I want. Sometimes I make the bass line easier so I don't have to spend hours learning it but other times I push myself (sometimes, I make it up as I go). There's no harm in writing your own lines. If you've got an hour of music then you can get some support slots while you sort out another 30 - 45 minutes. Our first set is a tight 45 minutes but our second can be well over an hour if we want it to be. Two 45's is standard up here. As long as you're enjoying it, you're doing it right. Good luck.

Band I was in played 'It's So Easy' twice in the same set a few times before we had enough songs, the audience didn't seem to mind..!

 

[Beau Peep]

Bits and pieces of technical and strategic consulting on the side. It pays better than my regular job and is much more interesting but there's not much security. At some point I'll make the switch permanently.

Ha ha. Yeah, we've done that before. "We've had a request to play (whatever) again."

 

[Billericay Dichio]

"Side hustle" = "second job" then?

Had loads over the years.

Why so many young workers have ‘side hustles’
What sort of side hustles do people have on here? I will probably be amazed and amused.
