Imagine being a professional cuddler for a living. Getting paid to snuggle your clients may sound strange, but this type of service has been in high demand over the last few years.

When I first started the business I had one or two monthly clients and was bringing in a few hundred dollars in revenue. As I began to work a lot more on our SEO and content marketing (especially told from our customers’ point of view), interest in our company began to grow. Now we bring in ~6K/month and get new weekly inquiries all the time. I’ve had to double the size of my team since we started.
13. Start a healthy meal delivery service
A meal prep delivery business offers nutritional and healthy meals to customers daily or weekly. These services provide either DIY meal kits or Ready-to-eat meals via e-commerce sites. All of them are meant to save time and eliminate food waste.
People who have busy work schedules find meal delivery services very beneficial. The trend is also noticed in Millenials who are health conscious and prefer nutritional food in the comfort of their home rather than visiting a restaurant.
The primary reason consumers order food online is that it is time-saving, convenient, and literally at their fingertips.
There are different types of meal services:
Online meal kits: These services may cost between $8.55 and $9.99 per serving. They will send everything you need to make excellent, restaurant-quality meals at home and save all your prep work time. Some of the popular services are Sun Basket, Blue Apron, HomeChef, etc.
Fast food delivery services: This service connects you with a broad range of local restaurants and food so that you can order from the full menus of your local favorites from the comfort of your home. Some popular services are Uber Eats, Foodsby, DoorDash, etc.
5 Benefits of Food Delivery Service
- Exposure to new customers
- Convenient
- Variety of options
- More business opportunities
- Cost-effective promotions
A Meal Prep Delivery Business can be very profitable when compared to restaurants. If you love to cook good nutritional food, you can also start a meal prep business from your home.
Preparing food from home save costs on a storefront, and you can promote the business by creating e-commerce websites. To make a good profit, you should invest less in groceries and ensure you have many customers. One can make a comfortable living even with lower monthly sales by charging around $20 to $40 an hour.
When we first started, we sold around 200 bowls each week. We currently sell around 10,000 bowls each month. Most companies like this start the same way, cooking from their primary residence for family and friends. We were no exception. But as we continued to grow, we spent time and money to work out of rentable commercial kitchens until we were able to afford our own.
14. Become a nutritionist
A nutritionist is a food and nutrition expert who guides you toward a healthy lifestyle by counseling on nutrition issues specifically to increase or decrease body weight.
They are called food experts because they teach you about healthy food habits and how to plan your meal, including all the nutrition, vitamins, and minerals that maintain good health and prevent diseases.

- Registered dietitian nutritionist
An average salary of a nutritionist in the United States is $64,000 per year. A nutritionist can also work privately with their clients and charge them hourly. The average hourly pay for a nutritionist job in the US is $28 an hour.
Starting a nutritionist business may feel overwhelming and confusing. Focus on knowing where to spend your time and energy to secure consistent nutrition clients. Seek referrals from other practitioners, such as personal trainers and doctors.

Both Kent and I trained in athletics at a national level and to find products that would help us balance life and school was nearly impossible.

I’m Elgin Mones, a.k.a. Infinite Elgintensity, an attorney by day, and a YouTube roaster by night. In 2014, several of my fitness comedy videos went viral, which caused my subscriber count to skyrocket. That same year, I branched out from making YouTube videos to selling gym apparel with designs and slogans based on my dark sense of humor and love of video games.
I’m best known for my “Arm Day” design, which multiple social media influencers have tried to profit from without my permission over the years; in 2018, I sent multiple DMCA takedowns and even sued someone over it. I make enough money to quit my job as a lawyer, but I prefer to keep YouTube and related ventures as a side gig. I don’t like depending on speech-suppressing video streaming platforms and social media sites for my income, and being funny on a schedule sounds like torture.
19. Start a health and safety training business
The health and safety business focuses on creating a safe workplace by instituting measures to prevent accidents and ensure employees' general wellness.
Health and safety professionals work with businesses to implement an employee health and safety program, ensuring compliance with the regulatory laws.

Finally, brainstorm blog topics, create an editorial calendar, and start writing your first blog. You can earn money through affiliate marketing or promoting your health-focused merchandise or products.
I’m Hilary Erickson, the curly head behind Pulling Curls. I started the website as a “mommy blog” back in 2005 when I had two small boys who were making me pull my curls out. I came up with the name because I wanted to highlight something that made me different, and it’s always been my curly hair.

In today's world, podcasts are the new radio. Podcasting is one of the fastest-growing mediums for online audio, and it's not expected to slow down any time soon. But unlike traditional radio, podcasts are driven by content creators passionate about sharing stories with their listeners.
One of the main benefits of starting a podcast is the minimal investment needed. All you need is a computer or phone with a microphone and a way to host it online. You can even create one on your website if you want.

Not everyone has the time to prepare meals for themselves. If you love cooking, you can start a personal chef business in your area and earn a good income from the side gig. The side hustle can fit into your schedule easily, and you can offer delivery and pick-up or curbside options to ensure more people are buying your services.
Personal chefs can work at various locations, including their client’s homes or restaurant kitchens. They may have regular clients who call on them to prepare meals for them weekly, or they may get called in to prepare meals for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays.

Being in this relaxed, faith-filled state helps the body produce optimum levels of oxytocin and endorphins, naturally helping to make labor more efficient and more comfortable.
The app currently has around 5000 downloads a month, and average revenue of US$10K a month. When I decided to create this app I had no app-building or software background, no money to invest, and no potential investors. All I had was an idea and the belief that it was possible.
29. Start an essential oils business

I am right where I want to be, surrounded by forests and open farmland just outside the village of Peacham.
The best part of owning my own business is having time freedom, getting to use the twenty-four hours I have each day how I want to use them, doing what I need to do, but in a way that works for who I am. The second best part of my business is getting to work from home, especially during COVID-19. As a former educator, I had NO time freedom, so I feel particularly giddy about being able to work from home.
31. Start a wellness subscription box
Wellness subscription businesses are based on wellness products, such as an online wellness course, health club membership, health-related software, digital downloads, or access to health newsletter content.
A consumer pays a monthly or yearly fee for access to content, products, and services. This typically involves some form of recurring billing where the consumer is billed at a predetermined interval for as long as they continue using the service.
The wellness subscription model is a win-win. Customers spend more money on recurring wellness products than non-recurring products. As a result, they tend to stick around longer. This is why health and wellness subscription businesses are growing faster than traditional enterprises.
