Even if you have a 9-5 job, looking for other ways to make an extra $1,000 a month is always a great idea.
Think of the money that you can set aside from your day job to fund your financial goals and get ahead!
Also, it can be used to pay off debt, bills, and can make a big difference with your savings. And whether you’re looking for a part or full-time side hustle, there are plenty of opportunities for making good income.
Down below are a few side hustle ideas where you have the potential to earn $1,000 (or more). These are job ideas that you can do on your own schedule and in the comfort of your home.
So check them out and let me know what you think!
1. Start a Blog
As many of you know, our full-time job as bloggers started as a side hustle. And now it gives us so much freedom in finances, time, and location.
And if you’re good at writing or sharing ideas, then why not start your own blog?
It’s easy to do, fun, and an amazing way to make extra cash while at home. It can give you so many opportunities if you’re willing to put in the work.
Now while we don’t teach how to blog anymore, here’s a quick page that gives some detail on who to check out when it comes to learning more and getting started.
2. Start a Life Coaching Business
If you have the skills and ability to connect with someone, try a coaching business. This side hustle isn’t highly regulated and can be done from home whether through phone or computer. You can coach an individual or a group and potentially make a great income.
It’s a rewarding side hustle that allows you to make a difference in others’ lives.
3. Freelance Writing
Aside from starting up a blog, if you really love to write, why not be a freelance writer? There are plenty of sites that are in need of writing services and pay a good amount of money. All you need is a good internet connection and a computer!
Negotiate your service price and in a few months you can possibly earn thousands a month.
4. Amazon Merch on Demand
One of the best sites to sell your art and designs is on Amazon.
All you have to do is apply for an invite to the Amazon Merch on Demand platform. Then, once you’ve received your invitation (it can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months to get accepted), you can upload your work, choose a product type, set your price, write your product description, and Amazon will print and send the products to anyone who orders.
It’s a good way to get into the print-on-demand business and start making money from home!
5. Become a Virtual Assistant
If you’re good in social media, graphic design, websites, writing emails, reporting, or other related skills, you might want to consider being a virtual assistant. All you have to do is to take care of your clients needs and work out a schedule with them.
6. Proof Reading
If you love working at home and you’re good at writing and grammar, you can find proofreading opportunities to make extra cash in your spare time.
The more content you can edit, the more monthly income you can add to your savings.
7. Airbnb Your Extra Room or Home
Whether you have an extra room or you’re going to be gone for a month, why not rent out your house while you’re not using it?
Register your home on Airbnb and set the availability and house rules for your listing. Once your listing goes live, guests can book their stay at your home and you can start earning money.
