Woman Asks For Safe Side Hustle Ideas, And The Internet Comes Through

For many women, safety is something they have to think about every day.

You never really know when or where you might feel at risk—whether you’re walking down the street, at work, or even at home. So when TikToker Cassidy started looking for a side hustle, she wanted one that wouldn’t put her in uncomfortable or unsafe situations, like Uber driving or food delivery.

Instead of guessing, she turned to the internet for advice, asking for side hustles that feel safe. And people came through with tons of helpful recommendations!

Check them out below, and if you have more to add, drop them in the comments!
