Flexible, Rewarding Side Hustles for Military Spouses

MARCH 15, 2023 – If your partner is in the military, it can feel like you have to make some tough decisions about your own life and career. Or at least that used to be the case, before technology evolved to the point that picking up a satisfying and lucrative side-hustle which can travel everywhere with you was an option.

To prove how much choice and flexibility military spouses have today, here’s a look at a few earning opportunities that exist, and the type of people they’re suited to.

Turn Your Passion into Profit: Side Hustles for Military Spouses Who Love to Create

With the right tools, skills, and attitude, your artistic passions can become a lucrative side hustle. Whether you’ve got the knowledge and means to make custom jewelry, or you’re an aspiring artist with contest applications under your belt, you can find a way to make your hobby into a business with minimal investment and maximum rewards.

It’s a case of not only knowing what you’re capable of, but knowing how to market your creations to the right people. Sites like Etsy are well suited to people who want to sell homemade items, and you could even connect with local retailers to see whether they’d be willing to stock what you produce.

Be an Online Tutor: Make Money with Your Education from Home

Anyone who has an educational background is in a prime position to use their knowledge to make money from home. Thanks to modern video conferencing tools, acting as an online tutor to assist students with their studies is a breeze, and can of course be handled entirely remotely.

Whether you focus on Math, English Literature, Science, or any other subject that’s in your wheelhouse, there will always be plenty of people out there who want to boost their grades and bolster their chances of getting into a good school. You could even work as part of a larger tutoring network to make it simple to connect with clients; preferably one that uses an employee recognition platform like Mo to ensure your efforts are recognized and rewarded.

Furthermore, online tutor roles are flexible enough that you can still have time off for family commitments, which makes this one of the best side hustles out there for military spouses.

Start a Virtual Assistant Business: Keep High-Flying Professionals Organized from Anywhere

The days of personal assistants having to share the same physical space as their bosses are long gone. Just as with working as an online tutor, you can now take up this role remotely, and still act in the best interests of your employer so that their busy lives can be organized down to the last detail.

With this opportunity, you can help entrepreneurs with their daily tasks, such as responding to emails or setting up meetings, all without ever leaving your house, or from within a coworking space if available. You’ll get paid well, have flexible hours and enjoy the freedom of working wherever and whenever suits you best.

Become A Freelance Writer: Flexible Work That Pays Well

Last but not least, if you’ve got a flare for language and a willingness to express yourself originally and with clarity, then writing could be the career path you’ve been waiting for.

What’s more, you don’t just have to go into journalism or blogging to earn some extra cash here. From social media content creation to digital marketing and SEO, businesses of all sizes need writers to reel off copy for them. And modern AI tools make it quick and easy to get into, even if you aren’t the next Shakespeare.

Final Thoughts

With a side hustle you can enjoy from home and which is shaped around your schedule, bringing in a bit more money each month is a treat, not a chore. So start looking at these opportunities, and see where they take you!
