SIDE HUSTLE - LIST YOURSELF ON RentAFriend

 


How to Make Extra Money by Listing Yourself on RentAFriend as a Side Hustle

If you're looking for a unique and flexible side hustle that doesn’t require years of experience or a big investment, RentAFriend might be worth considering. This unconventional platform lets you list yourself as a “friend for hire,” offering companionship (non-romantic) to people who are looking for someone to hang out with, attend events, travel, or even just talk to.

Here’s everything you need to know about making money as a "friend" on RentAFriend.


🧑‍🤝‍🧑 What Is RentAFriend?

RentAFriend.com is a website where people can pay to spend time with someone in a platonic, friendly way. Think of it like an “experience sharing” service. People use it for all kinds of reasons: exploring a new city with a local, finding someone to go to a concert or sporting event with, or even just having someone to grab coffee and chat.

It’s NOT a dating site or escort service. The platform strictly emphasizes non-romantic and non-sexual companionship.


💼 What You Can Do as a Rented Friend

Your role can vary depending on what your clients are looking for. Here are some common requests:

  • Show someone around your city

  • Attend events like parties, weddings, or concerts

  • Grab coffee or a meal and talk

  • Work out, play video games, or go to a museum together

  • Practice a language or help with social skills

Your "friend profile" should list your interests, hobbies, and what types of experiences you're open to.


💰 How Much Can You Make?

Friends typically set their own hourly rates. Most RentAFriend profiles list rates between $10 to $50 per hour, though some make more for special skills (like speaking a second language, photography, or fitness coaching).

Here’s an example:

  • 2 hours exploring downtown with a tourist = $60

  • Attending a sporting event = $100

  • Coffee and conversation for 1 hour = $40

You keep 100% of what you earn. RentAFriend doesn’t take a cut.


📝 How to Get Started

  1. Sign up at RentAFriend.com
    Create a profile as a “Friend.” There’s no cost to create your profile.

  2. Fill Out Your Bio Thoroughly
    Share your hobbies, interests, and what you're available for. Add photos, be honest, and show personality—people hire based on connection.

  3. Set Your Availability and Rates
    Choose your hours, days, and pricing. Be clear if you’re only offering virtual hangouts or in-person meetups.

  4. Respond to Messages Promptly
    Communication is key. Be polite, timely, and clear about boundaries.


📍 Tips for Success

  • Stay Safe: Always meet in public places and let someone know where you're going. Trust your instincts.

  • Offer Virtual Friendship Too: Many users prefer chatting online or over video call. This is great if you don’t want to meet in person.

  • Be Professional, But Friendly: Treat it like a real job. Show up on time, be present, and respect the other person.

  • Niche Yourself: If you’re into anime, gaming, local food, or nature walks—mention it! People love specific interests.


🚀 Why It’s a Great Side Hustle

  • Zero startup cost

  • You set your own schedule

  • Work in person or online

  • Great for social people and good listeners

  • Every day is different


Final Thoughts

Listing yourself on RentAFriend can be a fun, flexible, and surprisingly profitable way to earn extra income—especially if you enjoy meeting new people and trying new things. It’s not your typical 9-to-5, and that’s the point. In a world where people crave connection more than ever, just being friendly can pay off.

Would you consider being a friend for hire?
