Social media is filled with side hustle ideas, but the problem is that many of these don’t lead to much money. This is why you want to ensure that you focus on side hustles that can bring in a significant amount of money in your limited spare time.
According to finance YouTuber Humphrey Yang, there are five legit side hustles that could potentially lead to hundreds per day in income.
Top 5 Side Hustles That Actually Pay Big
1. Create Content For Realtors
Realtors are always looking for ways to market their properties with visuals and may not have the time to create appealing photos. You can offer to shoot aerial photos and high-quality videos for their marketing needs. You may have to invest $400 in a drone, but you can make up to $400 with a 60-second video and a few supplementary images.
Yang also mentioned that there are other income streams related to drone content. You can also sell stock photos and videos on marketplaces where people look for images of this sort.
2. Start a Newsletter
You don’t need an email list to build a newsletter, because you can use Substack to get started. You can stoke your account with free content to grow an audience.
Pick a topic you’re passionate about and focus on consistency. When your newsletter grows, you can create a premium (paid) version for your readers.
3. Make YouTube Tutorial Videos
While the social media platform may seem saturated, there’s still space for monetizing faceless channels. Yang believes that tutorial videos of full-screen recordings of how to use websites or other tools are the best way to grow right now.
Yang stresses that you don’t need a lot of views to make money — at least in certain categories, such as dropshipping or online shopping — because the advertising rates are different for specific tutorials depending on the subject.
The goal is to familiarize yourself with a website like Spotify or something similar so that you can explain these sorts of platforms. Then, you upload tutorial videos showing others how to use the popular website or tool.
4. Dog Walking Services
With apps like Rover becoming more popular, you can make extra money by walking dogs during the day — or by hosting furry friends at home. The pay rate will vary depending on your services and location, but you can pull in hundreds of dollars and get exercise.
If you don’t want to use any apps, you can find gigs through local job bulletins in your community. Once you build up a client base, you can have a steady income that can grow depending on how much time you can commit.
5. Sell Online Digital Templates
If you have graphic design skills, you can use a platform like Canva to create templates. These templates can be an Instagram Story idea or a piece of content that others can use for social media. For example, you can turn a Notion template or digital planner you created into a physical product to be sold on Etsy.
You’ll want to take some time to look through Etsy to see what kind of templates and digital products are selling well so that you can create your own (similar but certainly not identical) listing.
