Extroverts find energy from being around other people, and may benefit from money-making opportunities that involve engaging with people regularly. But that doesn't have to mean a job where being social is required of you all the time!
People who enjoy performing may consider street performance; conversely, those with solid knowledge in an area like English could teach.
1. Network Marketing
Extroverts tend to be adept salespeople, making network marketing an excellent side job option for them. By selling skincare, cleaning supplies or even adult products - network marketing allows for passive income while still giving them flexibility when working from home.
As another option, mystery shopping offers extroverts an excellent work-from-home job with flexible hours and flexible pay. Mystery shoppers get paid to visit local businesses and audit their products or services; this type of job could pay you anywhere from several dollars up to hundreds.
Teaching classes remotely is another fantastic remote job option for extroverts. From teaching English classes to dance and fitness lessons, this occupation gives them a way to meet and assist lots of new people simultaneously.
2. Street Performance
Extroverts thrive when interacting with others and can take pride in being social. One way they can put these skills to use is through street performance side hustle, more commonly known as busking. Busking allows performers to showcase their talents in public areas such as streets corners, shopping malls or subway stations and showcases musical or dance performance as well as other artistic pursuits.
Other jobs that allow you to interact with many people without demanding as much of your time are teaching a class and selling stock photos, doing odd jobs for cash using apps like GigWalk or Survey Junkie and mowing lawns or shoveling snow for cash - which may appeal particularly to active teens.
3. Bartending
Bartending can be an engaging side hustle that offers decent salary potential. It requires creativity, knowledge, multitasking skills and social interaction skills in an otherwise chaotic and noisy atmosphere.
Bartending can be an amazing way to expand your social circle, but be prepared for long hours and possible drunken drama!
If you're serious about bartending, starting as a barback (replenishes inventory and transports glasses and plates for bartenders) may be best. Doing this will enable you to observe how bartenders manage their drinks and interact with customers; later when it comes time to submit your resumes managers will already know that you possess all of the skills they are searching for.
4. Tour Guiding

Also prepare yourself for last-minute cancellations!
