5 Summer side hustles you can start with ZERO CAPITALAdded:
I will tell you a little secret. Trying a side hustle isn't just about making extra money. Summer doesn't always mean leaving your house, going on trips, or going for a swim. Sometimes it simply means creating space for something new.
>> [music] >> What's up, you guys? And welcome to another episode of Adulting with Joyce Spring. This is Adulting 101. But before we get into that, if you're watching on Spotify, go ahead and follow the show and drop a rating. If you're on YouTube, hit subscribe button, like this video, and don't forget to tap the notification bell so you never miss an episode. And if you're on Facebook, make sure to follow my page Joyce Spring for updates and extra content. All right, let's get into it. Now, when we hear the word summer, what usually comes to your mind?
Beach trips, vacations, out-of-town getaways. And when we But what if we shift a little, and instead of saying maybe we can start thinking summer all, because summer shouldn't only belong to people who can travel or spend a lot.
Maybe you're a student on break, a fresh graduate figuring things out, or a working professional trying to make the most of your time. You know, summer doesn't have to be expensive to be meaningful. And in fact, it can even be the perfect season to start something new like a side hustle. So, in today's episode, we're going to talk about five side hustles that you can start this summer with zero capital. Now, the reason why I wanted to create this episode is because I want people who are just starting out there. Maybe your emergency fund or about seeing other people have fun during summer. Beach trips beach getaways and summer getaways. I'm here to tell you that you can really have fun and still be productive and still make a little bit of money on the side. If you're not doing anything this summer.
And maybe that's something that you can start with your friends or with your siblings or with your loved ones. And then put together a new fund that you can eventually use for the next summer.
Okay, so here are the five things. First is to sell pre-loved items online. I don't know if you guys follow Joyce Spring Cleaning, but that is my account for selling my pre-loved items online. I used to think that I saw a content creator from abroad who posted about how he made a lot of money just selling some of his pre-loved stuff at home. And I also read a book that talked about how if the item that you have at home is just sitting there, it doesn't really have a purpose. It's better to just sell it or to donate it.
But it has a purpose and it's not just accumulating dust in your house. So, summer is actually the perfect season for you to declutter. You know, you might be surprised at how many things you no longer use, but someone else might need.
Um one of the conversations that one show and I would talk about was going to item the tool like my my my gadgets and things like that. But for me, if I don't use it anymore, better it be sold and somebody gets to use it and it gets to be a part of their life. And the best part is that you don't even need capital for this. All you have to do is look around the house. You're simply turning unused items into extra income. And sometimes the best summer reset starts with letting go of the things that we no longer need. And you know, summer doesn't always mean leaving your house or going on trips or going for a swim. Sometimes it simply means creating space for something new. And the best part is also you don't even have to be well known or to have a following.
Have a garage sale.
If you have a lot of items that you want to sell, maybe you can check out like bazaar places and things like that. Or you could even do online stuff.
Social media platforms that you can use.
It's so easy to sell things right now, even on marketplace and things like that. So, I urge you. It's something that I recently discovered.
Or summer cleaning. Come in before moving into this new home. And I was so surprised at the amount of money that I was able to make just by selling old stuff that I wasn't even using.
So, hopefully that's something that you guys can check out, too. Number two, online tutoring.
I have a friend who's a teacher, and one of the things that she would do to make extra money not just during summer, but on a regular basis, is to tutor. She would tutor kids who were already in her classes. You know, she would offer the service to the parents. Or summer specific subject that she would tutor.
So, if you're good at a subject like English, math, science, music, or even language skills, you can offer tutoring sessions. Many parents are looking for ways to keep their kids productive during the summer break. So, even if it's just a few sessions per week, it can already give you extra income. And of course, beyond the money, tutoring also helps you strengthen your own knowledge, build communication skills, and gain confidence, as well as create a network of people that, you know, you can get to know, you can learn from, and even work with. Now, tutoring can be so easy if studying is something that comes naturally to you. And even if doesn't Put it more offer some more students now. Um grade one, grade kinder come patience for younger kids on teaching them how to read. It's something that's so easy. And the best part is like as somebody who has tried to teach her own children, I'm dummy available in a free resources online that you could just follow. And that will help you teach the kids that might be tutored under you.
For example, Okay, my dummy kids session. Like you can have two to three kids or three to five kids in one tutoring session of the same subject. Or it could even be like you know, if you're artistic, you can do art lessons during the summer. And it's so easy, right?
You guys can go on nature walks and things like that. You can even just look online for ideas on what you can teach children. And that could be something that already makes money. Number three, social media help or content creation.
>> [laughter] >> As somebody who has been working in social media, digital marketing, and content creation for many, many years, a lot of small businesses want to grow online. But many owners simply don't have the time to manage their social media. And I will tell you a little secret. Okay, this is a secret from my heart that I'm just going to say for the first time now.
Online.
We constantly look for Gen Z, young people to be part of our team. Why?
Because even if I've been doing social media for more than a decade now, it's constantly changing. And you, because you're young, you call you you call you may alarm what content creation really looks like, what flies with content creation. Like Gen Z has changed the entire marketing scheme and entire marketing platform of social media, because it's just so different.
So, don't think that I want to experience or um background formal credentials. The fact alone that you are a digital native is a good thing. So, Okay, I can make two free reels for you. But if you like it and if it flies or it it's it reaches a certain number of views, then please hire me for the rest of the summer.
You already have a phone because you're watching this this episode of Adulting with Joyce Spring. And there are constantly small businesses around you that you can help.
Come here come friends that you know own businesses or you are You know, I I can create social media for you. I can do it for free for two reels. If it reaches a certain number or So, if you enjoy creating content, editing photos, or even as simple as writing captions or making reels or you short videos now, you can offer simple social media support. This small summer hustle might even turn into a long-term freelance career. You can also explore content creation for brands or even for yourself. The back of my guitar is on.
Or I'm dummy like now. Content or public now your account more. Try to create social media content and you know, bring value to other people because today brands are constantly looking for everyday creators who can make simple videos like product demos, lifestyle clips, unboxing videos. And of course, the best part is you don't need thousands of followers. Brands often just want authentic content. Now, if you're juggling side hustles, summer activities, school or work, there's one thing we shouldn't forget, taking care of our health. Because when we're busy chasing opportunities, we sometimes forget that their energy and our immunity matter too. Whether you're working, studying, running errands, or building your side hustle, you need something to help you keep going. And that's why I've been enjoying Good Day drinks recently. What I like about Good Day is that they offer two drinks with very different personalities, perfect for different summer moods. First is Good Day Frizz, a carbonated cultured milk drink that feels refreshing, almost like a soda, but with added benefits.
Each 240 ml can contains 2 billion para probiotics and comes in original and orange flavors, a fun fizzy drink for hot summer days. Then, there's the Good Day cultured milk yogurt drink, which has a smoother, more mellow vibe and works great as a daily immunity boost.
Each 350 ml bottle contains 10 billion para probiotics and [music] comes in original, mango, and strawberry flavors.
Both drinks are made using Japanese technology with heat-treated lactobacillus to ensure quality and effectiveness. And the para probiotics help support your body's natural immune defenses >> [music] >> by helping produce antibodies, fight common colds, and of course, enhance the effectiveness of certain [music] vaccines. They also don't require refrigeration, though they're best enjoyed cold. They have a shelf life of up to 1 year, making them easy to store at home. You can find Good Day Frizz and Good Day cultured milk yogurt drink in grocery stores and convenience stores nationwide. So, whether your summer is about building a side hustle, learning something new, or simply getting through busy days, having something refreshing and something that supports your immunity definitely helps. Now, let's continue with the rest of our side hustles. Number four, sell digital products. The great thing about digital products is that you can create them once and sell them multiple times.
If you've ever bought my yearly planner, you know what I mean. So, I started doing it last year, so I had like a template for last year. And what I did this year, when I sold it again, was I just updated it a little bit. I added a few more slides, you know, I thought of other things that I could add that would be very helpful and beneficial to people who might want to plan for the year ahead.

You can you can you can record yourself teaching a specific subject and then sell it as a digital product. So, for example, you can work as a tutor online, or you teach English online. So, it doesn't necessarily have to be uh a product lang. The product could even be yourself. You could teach English, you could teach math, you could teach sciences, and sell that to other people who might be looking for tutors that are very good at that, but need to be remote.

And for many people, this even becomes a long-term remote career. I have friends who do VA assistance for two or three different clients. You know what I mean. It's basically like recycling the planner for the I have a friend who does this for a CEO here in the Philippines and then another CEO for somebody who is abroad. Um if you want to be a copywriter, you know, any work, there are many websites that actually connect you with brands and clients for your specific skill. So, yeah, maybe you can consider one of these side hustles as something that you can do for this summer. You know, trying a side hustle isn't just about making extra money. Many successful careers actually start as small side hustles.
So, if you've been thinking about starting something, maybe this is the perfect time. Maybe this is the perfect opportunity for you because summer isn't only for vacations. It can also be a season for growth, discovery, opportunity, creativity, rest, and connection. I think the very first thing that you have to think about is to kind of open your mind and say, "Okay, summer doesn't have to look a certain way. It could be whatever I want it to be." And maybe that looks like a more productive summer. Maybe that looks like a a summer that's filled with side hustles and side projects. Maybe that looks like getting a job at the cafe or teaching swimming to small children. Whatever that side hustle you decide to try this season, make sure you stay energized and boost your immunity with Good Day along the way. And lastly, as I said earlier, remember summer all. Summer shouldn't belong to just only a few. Summer is for everyone. You know what I mean. It's basically like recycling the planner for the new year. And you can do this. But you know what I mean. It's basically like recycling the planner for the new
