A Side Hustle You Can Do In Sweats

Happy Saturday, You Beautifully Broke Genius

Ever check your bank account and think, “Wait… where did it all go?”

Same.

Let’s fix that — without selling your soul, joining a pyramid scheme, or pretending you love crypto again.

Today’s lineup:

• 💻 A legit side hustle you can do in sweats (up to $500/month)

• ✈️ The credit card move rich folks casually use for free flights

• 🧠 A budgeting myth that needs to die

• 🛑 A tool that cancels sneaky subscriptions for you

Scroll on. Your money’s been waiting for you to get your act (kind of) together.

Make Up to $500/Month Testing Websites (From Your Couch in Sweats)

No, this isn’t some crypto/NFT hustle or “drop ship your way to Bali” scheme. This is a legit side hustle: freelance user testing.

Here’s how it works:

🧪 You get paid to test websites and apps and give feedback. That’s it.

🕒 Most tests take 10–20 minutes and pay $10–$60 each.

💻 Sites like UserTesting, Respondent, and PlaybookUX are solid places to start.

💸 Let’s Do Some Quick Math:

Even if you only snag 1–2 tests a day at ~$15 each, that’s around $300–$500/month.

Not life-changing, but solid extra cash for something you can do while sipping coffee or half-watching Netflix.

Some power users do make upwards of $1,000–$2,000/month, but they’re fast, consistent, and often fall into high-demand demographics.

Most people will land in the $100–$500 range.

⚠️ What’s the Catch?

Tests fill up fast—like concert tickets for a Beyoncé tour.
You need to be:

• Honest

• Articulate

• Reliable

Think: a golden retriever with Wi-Fi.

💡 Pro Tips to Maximize Earnings:

• Turn on notifications so you can pounce when tests go live.

• Be thorough in your answers. Quality feedback = more invites.

• Fill out your profile completely so you qualify for more opportunities.

Set aside 30 minutes a day, treat it like a mini-job (not just a scroll break), and you’ll start to see the cash stack up.

Money Myth

“You need a budget to manage your money.”

False(ish). What you really need is awareness. Budgeting is great, but tracking where your money actually goes (without judgment) is what builds money mindfulness. Don’t know where to start? Google “reverse budgeting.” It’s a vibe.

Tool We Love

Rocket Money — formerly Truebill.
It finds sneaky subscriptions and cancels them for you. It’s like having a passive-aggressive assistant who’s great with numbers and hates your gym’s cancellation policy.

How the Smart Money Spends

They use business credit cards for everything. Why? Rewards, points, and better separation of expenses. Even if you're side hustling solo, an LLC + biz credit card = cleaner taxes and free flights.
