Are you wanting some extra cash to reach your savings goals? A great way to earn more but maintain a healthy work-life balance is a side hustle. To set yourself up for success, think about the skills and passions you have now. One or more of those skills or passions could make you money. It doesn’t need to get overwhelming. Try one of the following side hustles that anyone can do!

1.      Tutoring

Put your knowledge to work by tutoring locally or online. As a tutor, your schedule is flexible, so it is perfect to work when you have free time. You have the freedom to take on as many or as few pupils as you want; it just depends on how much you would like to earn.   

Not sure what you would teach someone? There are lots of topics people are interested in learning about. You have your basic school subjects like math, science, or history. There is also a market for pupils interested in learning more about music, art, and foreign languages. All you need to do to get started is set the price for your tutoring services and share that you are available.

2.      Rideshare

Do you enjoy driving and people? Share your ride and make some extra cash quick! One of the most popular side hustles is to work for Uber or Lyft and get people to where they need to go. It provides the driver with a flexible schedule. A key way to make a little more with ridesharing is to set your schedule to match peak hours because the companies increase your pay for rides during that time. Another positive is that the companies provide their drivers’ insurance protection while on the clock. With this job, you are allowing strangers into your vehicle, which is something to keep in mind. If you have a car, it is another way to make money.  

3.      Selling items online

When looking around your home, are there items you do not use anymore that are in good shape? Try selling them online for your side hustle. eBay, Craiglist, or even Facebook Marketplace are just some of the places you can resell items for profit. Your only time commitment for this money opportunity is sharing the item online and the process of shipping it.  

4.      Start a blog

If you have a story to tell or are taking on a big project, a blog is a great way to share it and get paid. The great thing about blogging is that it can become a passive income as your content grows. To monetize your blog, you can link to affiliates, partner with brands for sponsored content, offer more content with premium membership, or link to your own online store. Blogs can be a slow growth but as your audience grows so does your income.

5.      Rent a Room Through Airbnb

Are you in a great location that people would like to visit? Rent out your spare space as your side hustle. This is a great source of passive income. Plus, renting it through Airbnb puts the responsibility for marketing on them, and you don’t have to sell anything.
