We’re all about helping you keep your cash flow in green numbers, but it always helps to have a side hustle. 💰 You can use your spare time wisely & make extra money for investments or personal development. 💪 And money isn’t the only reason why you should have a side hustle: if chosen well, it can be a good way to combine work with your passions. We’re sure that you can make at least one of these side hustles a reality in 2023! 😍
1. Rent What You’re Not Using 🏡
Have a spare room? Is your car sitting in the garage? Unused parking spot? This is the most effortless way to earn extra income but comes with the greatest sacrifice: your personal space. 💰Always ask yourself whether you really need this extra cash and if this is legally feasible. Some landlords do not let their tenants take advantage of platforms like AirBnB, and not only that, in many countries it means more complicated legal work. If you’re in the market for short-term rentals, don’t forget to account for the maintenance and cleaning time. If your pricing is well set, your returns can be high enough. But is this something for you? 🏡
2. Contribute To Shared Economy 🚘
There are so many apps that you can use to your advantage! Support the sharing economy: become an Uber/Bolt driver for short rides, post your long ride shares on BlaBlaCar or deliver food. 🥡 You don’t need a car to do the last one, owning a bike’s enough to become a delivery rider — and you’ll get paid for cardio! 🔥
3. Fill Out Online Surveys 📝
Filling out surveys can earn you a bit of extra income, but by no means will make a drastic increase in your cash flow. 💡 These websites usually pay you after you accumulate enough credit from the filled-out surveys, so you need to invest a few hours into this beforehand. If you enjoy activities like this, give it a go, but if you’re looking for more effective ways to make money — look somewhere else.
4. Attend Experiments 💥
If you’re a student, you probably have this right in your university! There are always different departments looking for someone to take part in their experiments. 👩🏼🔬 It often takes around 30–60minutes, and you’re asked to perform a task or fill out a survey. There usually aren’t right or wrong answers, the purpose is to test how you’re thinking about a certain problem.
5. Make The Most Out Of Your Expertise ✍🏼
Start putting yourself out there! Create your own blog, Instagram, or a TikTok account and start writing about what you have deep knowledge of. 😍 But if building a large following isn’t for you, and you prefer immediate rewards, try contacting various magazines in your field and ask if they need a freelance writer. Many online magazines will be thrilled and sometimes, you can earn hundreds of dollars for one good article! 📚Start working on your portfolio today, so that you can showcase it when the right opportunity comes.
6. Sell what you don’t use 👀
You don’t need to organize a yard sale to do that: sell everything you don’t need from the comfort of your home. Simply take a nice picture of your items and start selling on Facebook Marketplace or a similar website! 💰This will earn you extra bucks and help you out with the big New Year’s Cleaning.
7. Be a virtual assistant 👩🏼💻
Looking for a steady extra income? Being a virtual assistant is one of the most popular ways for just that. You can offer your services to someone as a freelancer, and it’s usually anything from administrative, organizing, planning or technical or marketing support. 📌 All of this is possible from the comfort of your home or any remote destination in the world. And once you get enough experience, you can increase your hourly rate!
8. Teach your native language 🇬🇧
You probably heard about teaching languages online — and there are dozens of apps or websites just for that! 💬 English is the most popular language to teach, but you often need a passport from an English-speaking country. 🇺🇸 Some websites, like iTalki, enable you to have conversations in any language. 😍This is great if you enjoy chatting with people.
9. Walk dogs in your area 🐶
Isn’t this the cutest side-hustle? Get your daily cuteness and 10.000 steps by filling the empty spaces in your calendar by dog walks. 🐕 You can offer your dog walking services in Facebook groups in your area, or you can join specific websites.
10. Flip things 🛋
If you’re skilled doing extra things at home, such as repairs or interior design… this might be something for you! 😏 Buy cheap furniture that needs a clean-up or a new fresh look and start working on your DIY projects. Sell the better version on Marketplace! This way, you can increase the value of the furniture by hundreds of dollars! If you know where to find pieces that need extra work, but are valuable, you’re off to a great start. 🚀
11. Watch out for new trends! 👀
Educate yourself and keep an eye out for new sensations! Many people extremely improve their financial situation by jumping the train 👉What’s gonna be the hit of 2023?! 🚀
💡 Tip: Create a new income category “Extra Income” in Spendee! Use various labels such as “Teaching” or “Marketplace” to distinguish between all of the sources. It will be a fun way to see how much you’ve earned from your side hustles overall! To use unlimited labels, you can start your free trial:
Whether you’re in serious need of extra cash, or you just like spending your free time productively, find something that you truly enjoy! 💸 You shouldn’t spend your time off-work with another type of work that you don’t necessarily like. 💚Use this extra cash to build your future wealth, instead of spending it on other material possessions! 📈
