I want to build a small second income alongside a full-time job. My skills and experience: [list them] Hours I really have each week: [number] Money I can put in to start: [amount] Suggest five realistic routes that fit these limits. For each one, say who would buy it, what similar things sell for, and one way I could check demand this week without building anything. Don't promise income. If a route needs more time or money than I have, say so.
What to look for: cross off any route that relies on a guess. Keep the two where you could check demand this week.
