Starting a new side hustle or small business can be a great way to make extra money, pay off debt, survive financially while you’re unemployed, invest in your future, or completely replace your full-time job.

Starting a business and working for yourself can give you more control and flexibility so that you can have the work-life balance you want. You can choose who to work with, as well as what projects, gigs, or tasks you want to work on. (And which ones you don’t.) You can decide what passion or interest you want to pursue or what new job skills you want to learn.

You can also decide if you want to stay at home and start an online business in your spare time. Or if you are going to dive head first into entrepreneurship and turn a hobby into a lucrative and profitable new start-up business.

You are in charge!

The great news is there are also plenty of different opportunities. I’ve compiled a massive list of over 300 side hustles and small business ideas so you can find the one that’s right for you!
