Last week I told y’all about Vayable, my new favourite place to check out before going on a trip. One of the most intriguing things about Vayable, for me, is the MASSIVE side hustle potential it represents. It is also a brilliant way to market a tourism-friendly business. Let’s take a look at how you can easily end up with a fairly lucrative side-hustle through Vayable.
What do YOU like to do with your spare time, in your city or town?
Do you head to the Farmer’s Market every Saturday and know which vendors sell out first?
Guess what! That’s local, insider knowledge. It’s perfect to offer on Vayable.
You can share that and offer a curated tour of the market. See if you can get a vendor to throw in samples, just for your group, and start off with a nice beverage, included in your fee.
If you want to go all out, get reusable bags printed with a nice big, “I toured the Seaside Farmer’s Market with Anne of Sweet Market Tours.” Hand those out to your clients to use at the market for free advertising and as a memento. The more people who use them, the more likely you are to be able to get freebies for your future tour groups, from vendors.
Before you go all out, though, give it a try for a weekend or two. Worst case, you spend some extra time at the market on those days, best case, you cover your grocery purchases and then some!
Here are 25 different side hustle ideas for Vayable .com:
- Ski like a local
- Hike and dinner
- Walking tour of a town
- Cooking a local dish experience
- Bike trail tour guide

Each one of these ideas could warrant its own post! In the future, we’ll take a stab at making sure you can offer a well-thought out, fantastic experience to your new money-dispensers, who also happen to be clients. There are some small details that can make a world of difference in the eyes of a client, like including transportation or pickup.
Next week, we have an interview with Olivier, who offers wine tastings and tours in Paris with Vayable.
Free Credit to Use on Vayable
In the meantime, though, Vayable has a sweet deal for both you and me. If you create an account using any of the links in this post, they are going to give you a $10 credit toward a free tour, whenever you get around to taking one. Plus, because they’re great people, they’ll give me a $10 credit, too. Not too shabby, eh? Head on over and pop in your deets, you never know when you’ll come back to it in the future!
What do you think would work well for you, in your city or town?
I’ve never heard of Vayable, but I just went over and checked out the site. Looks like a great way to make some extra money!

The potential there is massive!
If I were more into the outdoors, I would make an awesome guide! There are so many amazing hiking trails, cross-country ski or snow shoe trials, rock climbing, ice climbing, etc. opportunities around here that attract tourists like crazy, but aren’t always common knowledge. Unfortunately, I don’t quite have those skills… Haha.

There are SO MANY things you could do, though! Try to think of a bigger city that might have some similar things, see what they’re offering and throw your services up on there. Worst-case you might make a few bucks while you’re hunting for a permanent job!
It makes sense! Some of the best travel times I’ve had were when I knew a local who showed me around. Why not effectively have a guy in any place you travel?
