If you’re an introvert, then the idea of getting a second job may seem a bit daunting.
Or even if you’re looking for a full-time job, having too much social interaction can feel pretty overwhelming, and I get it!
That’s why we found some great side jobs for introverts! They’re a good way to work from home, create your own schedule, and not have to interact with people 24/7.
These introvert side hustles range from easy to more difficult when it comes to making them your full-time job. So see which ones works best for you and start earning extra money and leveraging your skills.
1. Blogging
Bloggers can make thousands of dollars a month through affiliate marketing, ads, and sponsorships (I would know!).
It’s a fantastic way for introverts who have specific interests and hobbies to discuss and do further research about things they enjoy while sharing their information with audiences worldwide.
People tend to use Pinterest to start getting traffic to their site and overtime, you can build a loyal audience who will head to your site throughout the week.
2. Freelance Writer
Being a freelance writer is a wonderful way for introverts to make some extra cash since they usually are better at expressing themselves through writing than speaking.
Also it’s great for having the ability to do research and learn about the subjects you’re writing on.
And while AI has come into the game, websites are still looking for human written content with real human experiences. Something AI could never do!
3. Review Books
Introverts can make money by reading and writing book reviews which is perfect for all of the quiet time that introverts enjoy spending by themselves.
These positions are ideal for introverts who are voracious readers.
You can be a beta book reader on Fiverr and Kirkus Reviews and Booklist are also good options!
It’s definitely not a full-time gig, but it’s still a good way to make some money over time.
4. Housesitting
Instead of babysitting, try housesitting for neighbors or locals who are going out of town for a few days.
Housesitting is a great side gig for introverts since they can take care of beautiful homes without having to talk to anyone. This can also be something that can even be turned into a full-time job if you get enough references.
I’ve done it before and it can be a pretty nice job!
5. Photographer
Since most introverts prefer to stay behind the scenes, working as a photographer is an excellent opportunity to make some cash on the side.
There are even apps that allow photographers to sell their photos and make some money.
You will need to do some research on what niches and photo types people are frequently looking for. But if you learn from others who are succeeding, then this could be a good side hustle!
6. Proofreader
Introverts can be extremely detail oriented, and being a proofreader requires pieces being read and reread which demands quiet, uninterrupted time.
And because of this, being a proofreader is a great choice for introverts who can read and quickly catch minor (or major) errors with ease.
7. Bookkeepers
Serving as a bookkeeper really doesn’t require very much interaction with people. But it does require attention to detail and being good with numbers.
Bookkeepers are important because they need to keep track of all of the company’s numbers and enter all receipts and expenses into the system.
Also, there are quick courses that’ll help you learn and gain valuable bookkeeping experience if you’re interested in doing this.
8. Chat Agent & Email Support
Since picking up the phone isn’t so fun if you’re an introvert, working with customers and providing assistance via chat or email can be a good choice.
And if you like solving problems and you’re reliable and helpful, then this might be one to look into!
