Side hustles are ways of making extra money outside of full-time employment or school studies, such as online surveys or tutoring elementary school children.
Pet sitting is another popular side gig, with hourly rates starting at $15 an hour - this makes for an excellent way for teens who enjoy being active while being around adorable animals.
Tutoring
If you possess an interest and the communication skills to share it, tutoring could be an ideal side hustle. Offering in-person or virtual tuition services to students of any age and grade could prove profitable.
Tutors can also serve as enrichment opportunities for students who excel at certain subjects. Students who achieve A grades often require more intellectual challenge than provided through schoolwork alone.
A good tutor will enable students to become independent learners who develop critical thinking abilities and are capable of independently solving problems on their own. Tutors may come from any background - teachers who offer tutoring as part of their full-time jobs to professional specialists providing instruction in specific fields.
Freelance Writing
Freelance writing could be a lucrative side hustle if you possess writing abilities. Jobs can be found through freelancing portals or pitched directly to magazines and websites.
Many companies rely on freelance writers for ongoing content needs like email marketing campaigns. Others require one-off pieces such as resumes or cover letters; writing can even include narration of audiobooks for platforms like Audible.
Product review work can be an incredibly lucrative freelance writing side hustle, including reviewing software, gadgets and even movies/music. Freelancing portals or product review websites often provide writing opportunities in this sector - though pay can sometimes vary considerably; nonetheless it provides you with an opportunity to hone your writing skills while making some decent money on the side!
Real Estate
Real estate side hustles offer ample opportunities for diversifying income. Listing your garage or spare room on Airbnb, becoming a general contractor or investing in rental properties or flipping houses all present opportunities to diversify income sources - protecting financial security by diversifying sources of income in case one source suddenly ceases operating.
Real estate side hustles offer another advantage - providing invaluable experience that could pave the way to full-time employment in this field. My friend Dustin Heiner used his rental portfolio to enable him to retire early before reaching 40!
There are also the options of wholesaling real estate or taking professional new home photos as other possible ventures with relatively low upfront costs and time commitment requirements that could potentially bring substantial profits.
Moving Services
Starting your own moving company can be an excellent way to earn extra income and be your own boss. Running it full or part-time, moving companies are among the most lucrative side hustles for those with $10K or less to start. Other popular services that help generate extra cash include hosting garage sales, cleaning blinds and offering junk removal services; all are simple ways of making extra cash while working full-time or attending school.
Consultancy
Consulting firms often provide on-the-job training and international travel opportunities. Consulting can be an enriching career path; successful consultants often hold C-suite roles at clients or other firms in the same industry they've been working in. Working alongside colleagues also teaches consultants invaluable lessons while creating friendships for life. However, as with most side hustles you must promote yourself to build up clientele; networking will be essential here - referrals may help grow your client base the fastest! Additionally you will need to determine your fee structures as well as creating an online payment system to handle billing/payments systems and billing/payment systems in place so your clientele.
