I had a strange idea.

Sometimes, I get those. Sometimes they are worth thinking about, and sometimes my ideas are either not practical, not really economical, and maybe not realistic. I am currently in no place in life to run a business or work a job. If you know me, you know why, so I won't go into that. Lately, I have realized that many, many people now buy furniture online, without ever seeing the furniture in person. It arrives at their door in a box from wherever--Amazon, Wayfair, Ikea, Walmart or other lesser-known companies. Whatever the furniture, unless it's extremely small it must be assembled. This part of the purchase appears to be extremely difficult for many people. Seniors may have mobility issues and unable to bend and lift things. Some people simply don't have the confidence to assemble anything like this. Some do not have family to help them. Over the years I have done some of these things, assembled garage shelves, a small bookcase, etc. I know I couldn't lift anything any larger than what I have attempted. If a person wanted a good side hustle, work when they want to or had the time, this would be great for so many. They could advertise their hustle on facebook or a group or even other social media. I know that they would have customers! I currently know of two people who ordered furniture that can't put it together on their own. They can't lift, the instructions terrify them, and they give up. The two I know of are currently trying to re-coup some of their money by attempting to sell their item on facebook or marketplace or wherever, with little luck. If you know someone who could do this work and needs a side hustle, this would be a great idea. Pinterest picture.
