Sell your arts and crafts on Etsy, ebay, etc.
If you are a creative person then this HUSTLE is right up your ally. All you need is your artwork, a smartphone, and an internet connection. I know artist a sensitive about their creations. Its time to put your pride to the side and make some money. Once you finish your artwork take a few pictures and come up with a nice description and searchable name. Now it’s time to market your product. Share it on social media, run an ad if you have a few extra dollars. Boom Hustle #1
Offer online tutoring in your field of expertise.
Being an expert has perks of it own. Make money from being an expert at something, anything. Can you teach it? Do people want to learn it? Are people willing to pay for it? If the answer is yes, then you have a market. You do not need to build a website and get hosting. All you need is a webcam, a microphone, and zoom. Now you can start tutoring/teaching online and charging for it. I suggest charging by the hour. I have seen a couple of personal trainers doing this as well because of the pandemic. I wouldn’t pay for a virtual fitness trainer, but some people will. If you are a great teacher, motivator this may be your break into side HUSTLING.
Create a course
Piggy backing on online tutoring. Creating a course on a topic that you know a lot about can be lucrative. Online courses are everywhere, and I believe online learning is the new wave. People want to be able to learn from real professionals and experts that do the things that they teach. You can sell your course on your own website or a hosting website. You can put your course on skillshare and earn a commission when people take your course.
Publish a blog with a new lesson everyday
Having a blog can be difficult at time but it is doable. A few tutorials and you can have a blog up and running in an hour. Once the blog is live you will have to drive traffic to your blog. This will take time and a consistency. Once your traffic grows you can make a lot of money from your blog. You can sell products, courses, newsletters, etc. from your blog. You can have affiliate marketing on your blog and make money promoting other people’s products and services. This one takes some time to get going and a learning curve but it is worth it.
Write and publish a book
You can do this. It sounds like a big task but it we break it up into parts it can be done. Once you have an outline then you write each chapter and boom you have a book. Send it to a publishing company and see what happens. It may be easier if you already have an audience to market and sell to. We see books come out of nowhere all the time. Don’t count yourself out this may be the hustle to change your life.
