Delicious Side Hustle Ideas

Many women hope to earn money on the side but struggle to think of a good side hustle idea. Well, selling food is always a great source of extra income which can be incorporated into your daily life since we all eat to both nourish and enjoy ourselves.

 

While the food industry is a highly competitive area of business, it can also be very profitable. All you need is a good product, a target market, a solid business plan, and a dash of passion for good flavors. Here are some ideas that you can start with!

 

1. The Health Kick – There is a growing revolution towards health and fitness, and this is a great bandwagon to hop onto. Many people are want to eat healthily. Unfortunately, healthy food is rarely cheap or easy to make. If you are already doing it for yourself, or plan to eat healthier, why not try creating healthy meal plans for other people? You can deliver packed meals to your clients during breakfast time and this can last them the full day. It is a great way to get both others, and yourself, committed to healthy living while making a profit!

 

2. Sweet and Nice – Everybody loves a sweet treat. If you can whip up a decent batch of cupcakes or brownies, enhance your skills by picking up some baking receipes that will spruce up your baking game. Once you have some good tasting treats you can sell it in your neighborhood or among your colleagues as holiday gifts for themselves or for other people. You don’t have to be a phenomenal baker to begin something like this, you can refine your skills and products as you go. If you are interested in opening a bakeshop, all you need is a fair amount of skill, and a lot of determination.

 

 

3. The Big Bets – Franchising an already established food chain is a side hustle idea that may entail big investments, but it also promises big rewards if you do it right. Many of these food chains are already a sure fire hit, all you need to do it find the right place to put it it, and the right people to run it. One example is a Cold stone franchise. Who doesn’t like ice cream! Any season of the year, hot or cold, there is something wonderful about having this sweet and cold treat. If you have the money to spend on a franchise, make sure to pick ones that are already established and well loved, so that you don’t have a hard time getting your ROI.

 

4. Exotic treats  – If you enjoy cooking and eating a certain kind of cuisine or your family makes a special dish from your ancestral homeland, you can consider selling exotic dishes. This works better if you are within a like-minded community who are either from the same cultural background, or simply the type who is open to new experiences. Some of the best restaurants are based on an old family recipe, so if you have one, this may be the best side hustle idea for you!
