It’s not hard to reel off a list of celebrity couples. When each partner has their own independent, thriving career, these duos are also…power couples!
We know many of the best side hustles for couples looking to ascend to ‘power’ status. It’s certainly not an accolade limited to the rich and famous, either.
“A power couple is a couple that is driven in their mission of what they want to do. They are powerhouses and making an impact in this world,” relationship expert Karina F. Daves explains.
So, if you and your partner want to start a lucrative side hustle to support your life goals, you’re in the right place. Read on to discover some of the best ideas to help you find your dream home, travel the world, or buy your first Ferrari.
These Side Hustle Ideas Are Just Right for Couples
Not all couples, however. It bears emphasis that the ‘right’ side hustles for your own twosome will depend on a myriad of factors. Ask yourself:
- What are your interests?
- Where do your skills and strengths lie?
- How much time can you set aside for the job?
Your partner should ask themselves the same—and their responses don’t necessarily have to match your own. It can bode well if the other person is ready and able to take up the slack in areas where you fall short.
1. Investing
Potential earnings: 💰 💰 💰
What investment assets do you fancy pouring your money into? Here are some worth considering:
- Stocks and shares
- Real estate
- Bonds and gilts
- Savings accounts
Whichever options you are weighing up, ask your beloved what they think. Success with investing depends heavily on luck, but two brains are better than one at reining in the risk.
If you become a successful investor, why not share your story? Share tips through things like online courses and Discord groups and help others invest wisely.
2. Blogging
Potential earnings: 💰
You and your partner are bound to have more than a few shared passions—the ‘glue’ that keeps your relationship strong.
If you excel at writing, why not blog about those passions? They might include:
- Movies
- Gaming
- Sports
- Travel
Even if your other half isn’t adept at writing, they could still augment your efforts. For example, they could shoot video footage for you to embed into your articles.
The best-known blogging platforms include WordPress and Blogger.
You can monetize a blog through various means—such as ads, sponsorships, and affiliate marketing.
3. Hosting a podcast
Potential earnings: 💰 💰
Podcasting is, in a sense, an audio version of blogging. Both a blog and a podcast are meant to be regularly updated—the former with articles and the latter with episodes. Similarly, each article or episode focuses on a specific subject.
However, one difference with podcasting is that, as people can hear each partner’s individual voice, they can also more easily distinguish each partner’s unique perspective.
Once you and your other half have recorded a podcast episode together, you can upload it to a podcast hosting service. One popular option you could go with is Spotify for Podcasters…
Though Spotify is good for beginners, Whop could work out better for the long term. We can help you to monetize your podcast, e.g. with subscriptions and memberships.
4. Creating online courses
Potential earnings: 💰 💰
If you have long been an expert in something, a little of that know-how may have worn off on your partner, too. It might also be information that many other people would be eager to learn—especially if they are changing careers.
Hence the incentive for you to put together online courses. For those, you can choose from hundreds of niches—including:
- Business management
- Health and wellness
- Music
- Sports and fitness
- Personal finance
Did you know over 220 MILLION people are taking online courses on a variety of platforms? It means there’s a golden opportunity waiting for you to start earning big money.
In fact, online courses are one of the top ways creators are raking in revenue. Don’t believe us? While it’s tough to pinpoint exactly how much you could earn, Kajabi, a leading creator platform, revealed that courses are the main moneymaker for six-figure creators.
You read that right. Those crushing it in the creator economy today are making more from their courses than from well-known platforms like Patreon.
The secret to success? A solid course platform. And when it comes to selling your online course, Whop has got your back. Our platform makes building and selling courses a breeze with its drag-and-drop course builder, plus tons of other helpful features. It’s the perfect place to start turning your expertise into income.
5. Selling ebooks
Potential earnings: 💰 💰
In recent years, the ebook industry has exploded in popularity. It has grown from 700 million readers in 2017 to an estimated one billion this year. An increasing number of people are discovering the value of ebooks as a more affordable and accessible way to enjoy their favorite reads.
Do you have an idea or a skill you and your partner are passionate about? Why not turn it into an ebook? Whether you want to share your entrepreneurial journey in a motivational guide or write the next great romance novel, there’s plenty of scope to make money through ebooks.
What’s more, writing an ebook is easier than you might think. You don’t have to be the next Shakespeare to write an ebook that sells. Plus, once it’s published, you’ll keep earning passing income.
Even better, if you sell through Whop, you’ll keep 97% of your sales—far more than what you’d keep on platforms like Amazon KDP, which can take anywhere from 30% to 65% of your earnings.
6. Selling handmade items
Potential earnings: 💰
Do you make things in your spare time? It could be physical items, like:
💍 Jewelry
🧼 Soap bars
🖼️ Stickers
🏡 Home decor
Alternatively, you might rejoice in designing the following materials for people to download and print off in their own homes:
📄 Worksheets
🎨 Coloring sheets
🗓️ Digital planners
🖌️ Graphic design templates
Either way, it could pleasantly surprise you how much people are willing to pay for your wares. You could sell them online—and not just on Etsy!
7. Refurbishing furniture
Potential earnings: 💰 💰
Do you often spot old furniture for sale and think it would look much better with a fresh layer of paint or polish? Maybe your spouse knows how to give it exactly that?
So, why not snaffle such vintage pieces on the cheap before getting them repaired or refinished? The added value they gain as a result could significantly outweigh the cost of upcycling them—especially if you already have plenty of DIY tools.
8. Reselling bits and pieces you don’t need
Potential earnings: 💰
It’s easy for random junk to accumulate around the home over time. By reselling those surplus items, you can regain valuable space.
Exactly which belongings should you offload? Here are some possible candidates:
- Used clothing, e.g. shirts and shoes
- Books
- Music CDs and vinyl
- Ornaments
In theory, you could sell a lot of stuff without your partner’s help. Still, this help could prove invaluable when it comes to large, bulky items like computers and printers. Selling these locally may require you to deliver them in person to the buyer, and it's much easier with two people.
9. Providing home improvement services
Potential earnings: 💰 💰 💰
As a couple, you could be well-versed in disciplines under the ‘home improvement’ banner, such as:
- Carpentry
- Flooring
- Remodeling kitchens
- Renovating bathrooms
When the two of you run this kind of business together, its income could potentially rival that of a much longer-established company.
10. Gardening
Potential earnings: 💰 💰
The garden is one part of the home that can too easily be neglected. That’s why there’s a market for gardening services like:
- Mowing lawns
- Cutting trees and hedges
- Landscaping
- Day-to-day maintenance
Were you already planning to act on the previous suggestion of setting up a home improvement business? In that case, consider adding gardening to its list of services.
11. Cleaning
Potential earnings: 💰
Many people struggle to keep their properties as clean as they really should. Why not capitalize on this discrepancy by offering a wide array of cleaning services? They could include:
- One-off cleans
- Deep cleaning
- End-of-tenancy cleaning
- Office cleaning
Remember that many people know little about how to:
- Prevent the kind of unsightly streaks often left over by soapsuds
- Use water-fed poles to clean windows
- Purify water before cleaning with it
All the same, you might not strictly need to know all of this yourself if your significant other can undertake cleaning jobs beyond your own expertise.
12. Looking after kids or pets
Potential earnings: 💰 💰
You might be pretty experienced at either, so by joining a site like Care.com or Rover, you can spend brief spells taking care of clients’ babies (or fur babies).
Unless you’re Superman, you probably can’t take on two different babysitting or pet-sitting jobs at once. It’s easy to see why a child- or pet-care business can be much more profitable when two people are at the helm.
13. Assisting, virtually
Potential earnings: 💰 💰
Yes, that’s a reference to working as a virtual assistant (VA). Here, too, the beauty of working with someone else is that you can pool your separate areas of expertise.
At least to start with, you could stick to relatively basic tasks along the lines of:
- Scheduling appointments
- Making travel arrangements
- Sending emails
Your VA business can stand out if it additionally provides services of a more specialist slant, like bookkeeping or social media management.
14. Setting up a stall at a farmers’ market
Potential earnings: 💰
“Treat ‘em mean, keep ‘em keen”? Try “treat ‘em green” instead. You can make many aspects of a romance eco-friendly—from the wedding to the gifts you share on Valentine’s Day.
Does your S.O. often help you to grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs in your garden? Selling that produce at a farmers’ market near you could enable you to make some more money and new friends!
15. Taking stock photos
Potential earnings: 💰
Are you both keen on photography? If you are married, maybe you caught the bug when the wedding photos were being sorted out.
No matter how your love for the camera was born, consider capturing some photos to sell to image repository sites. Shutterstock and Adobe Stock are both worth a try.
16. Creating stock music
Potential earnings: 💰
What originally brought the two of you together? If it was enthusiasm for making music, why not make some for other people to use? You can contribute your tunes to sites like AudioJungle and PremiumBeat.
This is one of the most worthwhile side hustles for couples seeking to generate ‘passive income’—that is, money you can make while you sleep.
17. Starting a YouTube channel
Potential earnings: 💰 💰
Do you have sizzling chemistry with your spouse? Imagine people getting the chance to see it in full flow on YouTube videos!
Want to unbox a new smartphone? Provide a tour of a historical landmark? The magic of videos is that they let you show, not merely tell.
You can earn money from your YouTube channel by selling ad space and striking sponsorship deals.
18. Completing online surveys
Potential earnings: 💰
Especially if you are raising kids, you might feel constantly pressed for time.
Mercifully, though, you can accrue money just from filling in the occasional survey. This is possible via websites like Survey Junkie. You won’t get paid a massive amount per survey, but every little helps.
19. Delivering food
Potential earnings: 💰
Food delivery services like Uber Eats and DoorDash allow people to deliver for them on a flexible basis. Yes, you can pick and choose when to help them out.
This opportunity is bound to appeal to power couples striving to carve out time for occasions like date night and parents’ evening.
20. Renting out part of your home
Potential earnings: 💰 💰 💰
This can be a super-shrewd move if you live in (or near) a major city where great-value hotel rooms are at a premium.
Does your home have a room that could serve as overnight accommodation for at least one guest at a time? If so, think about listing the space on Airbnb.
You likely already devote a lot of effort to keeping your home clean and comfortable. Now, guests who book a stay with you can benefit from this diligence.
Making the Most of Your Side Hustling
🏠 Working from home can throw up a wealth of distractions, particularly if you have young kids and excitable pets. So, set up a home office where you will be able to concentrate uninterrupted.
🗓️ To eke every bit of productivity out of your work time, draw up a detailed daily schedule. Reference it to remember what you should be doing and when.
💪 Hard work can take its toll, so remember to look after your health. Hitting the gym or pool alongside your lover is an exhilarating way to build your stamina.
