We all have to start somewhere. If you're a stay-at-home person, a student, or just someone looking to make a little extra money this month, earning your first $10 can be a powerful first step. It may not seem like much, but that first small win shows you that yes it’s possible to make money outside of a regular 9–5 job. And once you do, you’ll feel more motivated to keep going and grow it into something bigger.

If you're ready to take action and want something realistic and doable, here are three beginner-friendly ways to earn your first $10 before June ends — using what you already have at home. 🌟

Many of us want to start building wealth or saving for goals, but it feels overwhelming at first. The good news? You don’t need to start big. Even making your first $10 by the end of the month can give you the confidence and momentum to keep going. 💪

Trust me these ideas really work on me. Until now I have been spending time to de-cluttering and making money out of it, that goes to my savings.

Here are three easy, beginner-friendly ways to earn your first $10 before June ends — using what you already have at home. ❤️

1. 📦 Sell Unused Items Online

We all have items lying around the house that we don’t use anymore, toys the kids have outgrown, kitchen tools we forgot we had, or clothes we haven’t worn in years. Selling these online is a fast way to turn clutter into cash.

You can post your items on Facebook Marketplace, Carousell, or your local community buy/sell groups. Start by listing things like books, electronics, baby gear, or home decor — these tend to sell quickly!. Add clear photos, write a short honest description, and price fairly.

Tips:

Clean the item before photographing it.
Offer meetups in safe, public places (or porch pickup).
Bundle similar items (like baby clothes) to increase value.

2. 🏷️ Host a Mini Garage Sale

If you’re living in a villa or a house with even a small outdoor space, this can be a total game changer. You don’t need to rent a venue or spend a single dime just to make a little extra cash. Start with what you have — your own space is more powerful than you think. That’s one of the first lessons I learned through side hustling, and I truly believe you can do it too.

Should you have more than a few things to sell, why not turn it into a mini garage sale? It doesn’t have to be a big event — even setting up a table outside your house for a few hours can attract neighbors and passersby.

This is a great way to clear space and make quick cash in one afternoon. You can even involve your kids by letting them sell old toys, books, or homemade lemonade!

Tips:

Promote your sale in advance on local Facebook groups or WhatsApp chats.
Use signs around your neighborhood with arrows and your address.
Price everything clearly and offer bundle deals to encourage bulk buys.

3. 🚲 Rent Out Something You Own

Got something useful sitting around? Rent it out! Whether it's a bike, a camera, a power tool, or even party supplies, people in your area may need it for just a day or two — and they’d rather rent than buy.

You can post your item in local community groups or list it on rental apps (if available in your area). Just be clear about your rental rules and ask for a small deposit if needed.

Tips:

Take clear photos of the item and list important details (size, condition, how it works).
Create a basic agreement or note who’s borrowing it and when it’s due back.
Offer a friendly rate to start — even $5–$10 per day adds up! ❤️

You don’t need a business, a fancy app, or a huge audience to start making money. Sometimes, it’s as simple as looking around and using what you already have. These small steps like selling, renting, or hosting a garage sale, are practical and doable, even for the busiest moms.

Once you make that first $10, you’ll start seeing the possibilities. The most important thing? Start. That $10 could be your first step toward something bigger. 🙋‍♀️
