For sometime now, I’ve been thinking of starting a small business to augment my regular income. I just feel like I have so much time wasted just waiting for my shifts to start again the next day. I already have started by selling skin health products which I myself use and find very effective despite how cheap it is compared to the more known brands. I have a steady stream of clients because of that as well.
However, I need something that will make my time more valuable. I don’t like finding myself just sitting or lying around. I don’t like being idle and nonproductive. Can you help me think of small businesses or of ways on how to spend my time more wisely? I have already done my research but I’d like to hear from real people like you, especially that we hail from different places. I’ll appreciate your ideas. Thanks in advance guys! :)

I guess the best way to get extra money is selling your hobby. Example if you like to baking, you can sell cookies or bake for your friends birthday or wedding or many more.
My hobby is designing. Now i have my small business for design online and get extra bucks from selling my service in fiverr. Working with hobby really enjoyable. Still tiring but super fun :)

Online shop is a hit here in our country.

a relative was buying peanuts in bulk (greaseless, light garlic flavor) then reselling them in addition to her bank job.

I don't know about the Philippines, but I have a friend in the US who goes to garage sales and buys stuff that needs a little fixing, then after it looks good she sells it on Craigslist (a free website to sell stuff). She said she made over $10,000 over this summer.

Whoah! That’s a huge amount to earn just by going to garage sales!
Well, garage sales are not that common here in the Philippines. However, we have something that may be along the same lines. I’ll be looking into that. Thank you. :)
