Side money hustles for 18+ full time students? (safe & efficient suggestions welcome)

As a student in full time education for the next few years, are there any side-hustles or jobs that don't take up too much time or are online that people have tried and are actually making money from? Safe, not including weird links or websites promising money. No matter how hard it is, I personally am not looking for 'easy', but something that can provide a side income to my studies. *excluding a part-time job as a barista/ waitress for example (my current job).

I don't hold back on learning new skills etc, so anything new is more than welcome. Google search and social media platforms have not been really helpful, so I'm hoping that by turning to actual students might get my answers somewhere.

Hope to hear soon from you! Have a nice day & thank you for reading.

From personal experience, tutoring is the most flexible and decently paid job for a student.

Mystery shopping - Serve Legal is a good option (I am an ambassador for them though for transparency)
