This post may contain Affiliate Links
Setting some money goals as a couple can be very rewarding, especially if you are saving up for something that you both really want, such as a lovely big wedding, travel or a deposit to buy a house. Making Money and side-hustling together means you can really support and motivate each other along the way.
Here are five side hustles for couples to do together.
5 Awesome Side Hustles For Couples
1. Reselling on eBay (or Vinted or Depop)
If you’re fairly on top of selling your own things, you might want to try your hand at reselling for a profit. Anything goes – from clothing to board games to puzzles and books.
There are a few stages to reselling – these are as follows:
Research – To find out what is selling well and could make a profit.
Sourcing stock – Finding things to sell.
Photographing & listing – can be time-consuming and is best done in batches or you could take it turns.
Packaging and Posting – To get items shipped as quickly as possible
Admin – Keeping track of sales, profits etc.
If you do this as a couple then it’s a really good way of playing to each other strengths. One of you may love photographing or have a knack for making clothes look great in pictures.
The other may love scouring Facebook Marketplace or Charity shops for things to sell.
2. Tax-Free Matched Betting
Matched betting, put very simply, is taking advantage of bookies free bet (usually on for new sign-ups) offers to make a profit. The process can seem quite complicated at first, as there are lots of stages and lot to get your head around, but once you get the hang of it it’s pretty straightforward.
My advice is to watch lots of Matched Betting YouTube videos that clearly explain the process before giving it a go for the first time, so you really understand the process well.
It’s great to this side-hustle as a couple because you can learn what to do together and there is less room for error if each bet is being checked by two people.
While matched betting is often said to be ‘risk-free’ there is room for human error which means you could occasionally lose money.
If either of you has ever had a gambling problem this is not the right side hustle for you.
Additionally, some bookmakers let you have two accounts even when living at the same address meaning even more money-making.
These bookies are usually known as ‘partner-friendly bookies’ and there’s full a list of them on Outplayed for when you feel ready and both know what you’re doing (outplayed is matched betting software that allows you to calculate your bets quickly and easily.
While it is paid for service, the amount of money you make will far outweigh the cost of your monthly or yearly subscription to them)
You could expect to make as much as £1000 a month from this side hustle.
3. Side Hustles For Couples: Amazon FBA
Similar to reselling on eBay and other platforms, Amazon FBA is a great side hustle for couples who love to shop but want to make money instead of spending.
In very simple terms, what you’re actually doing here is sourcing stock for Amazon. You then send it to them and Amazon lists the products you’ve bought and sells them on your behalf. This works very well as there is less work involved for you and the customer can benefit from things you wouldn’t be able to provide such as expedited shipping with Amazon Prime.
This isn’t a side hustle you can just pick up easily in a few days. It requires lots of research, learning and reading beforehand otherwise you may find it difficult to make a substantial profit. You’ll also need space at home to store your items.
Your research should also include looking at Amazon’s fee structure. Costs are much higher than eBay, plus the shipping fees for sending your items to Amazon (definitely wait until you have a large box full before you do this!)
There are also some storage fees your items haven’t sold after six months. You could have unsold stock returned to you or disposed of but again these options incur fees which might eat into your overall profits.
4. Pet Sitting
Pet sitting has lots of advantages, especially if you’re an animal lover. Doing this side hustle as a couple means you can share the responsibility of looking after the pet as well as going on lovely walks and getting lovely cuddles if it’s a dog.
Of course, it’s not just dogs that need pet sitting – it could be any pet from cats to hamsters to guinea pigs or snakes. Tailster is the UK’s biggest and best pet sitting website and is a great place to get started if you think a pet sitting side hustle might be the best one for you and your partner.
5. Side Hustles For Couples: Blogging
Blogging is a great side hustle to start as a couple. You could choose to write about a subject that you’re both passionate about, such as food or sport, or you could decide various blogging jobs between you that play up to your individual strengths.
As an example, one of you might be great at website building and design or SEO – the other may be brilliant at photography or an amazing writer with a unique voice. Video is huge at the moment too, between YouTube and TikTok and lots of couples enjoy making videos together for fun and as a side hustle.
While it can take time to build your blog up and make a good amount of money from blogging, embarking on your blogging journey with your partner should mean less work overall as can take it turns to write, post on social media or do keyword research.

Disclaimer: If you’re earning more than £100o net per year from your side hustle (excluding matched betting, cashback and selling your own items) then you’ll need to register with HMRC and fill out a tax return.
