Why not use the time to figure out what you actually want to do?
And if you actually want to do anything at all?
To put it another way, the best side businesses -- and indeed the best jobs -- are getting paid for things that are like the things you would do if you did not get paid.
Things that you are enthusiastic about...and if you are enthusiastic about the idea of making money, the simplest thing is to buy and sell physical goods. Good luck.

I feel the complete opposite.
The things I really really really enjoy doing with my time are not (realistically) for sale. They are for me.
If you said I could make $250k a year by reading 100 books a year (a bit less than what I read on my own), I’d think long and hard about accepting.
I probably would because it would be interesting to test my assumptions, but I’d imagine it’d be less fun that reading them for free.
