Starting a Blog
Maybe it was obvious to receive such an advice from someone who started a blog himself.
But don’t get me wrong: I’m 100% sure that starting an own blog is one of the best ways to make money from home.
And there is enough evidence for its huge potential:
All of these blogs are making thousands of dollars per month.
How do blogs like these earn so much money?
Let us have a look at the main income stream of bloggers:
- Affiliate Marketing
- Advertisment

Isn’t that amazing?
Starting something from the comfort of your home and earning extra cash from it monthly!
That’s possible with an own blog.

Freelance Writing or Content Creation
The number of freelancers is increasing more and more worldwide.
Only in the US there were a whopping 64 million freelancers in 2023.
And you can be part of this too!
Especially big content creators (bloggers, YouTubers, influencers) are looking for people who can create content for their pages.
For huge blogs, for example, it is usual to hire freelancers for writing their blog posts.
So if you are passionate about helping an audience and enjoy writing, this might be the go-to side hustle for you.
In the best case, you choose blogs or social media channels that align with your personal interests.
Not only is it 100 times more enjoyable to write about something that you are interested in, but also you might have specific knowledge in a particular niche.
The higher your quality is, the more people will recommend you, and the more you’ll grow!
Due to programs helping you to connect with clients, it is not that hard to get your first client.
I recommend you to use the following websites:
Make sure to create a convincing description of your service, so that people know what you’re exactly offering.
Online Coach
Is there a field you are knowledgeable about and you enjoy teaching others?
Then online tutoring might be your favorite side hustle to start!
Online tutoring is extremely lucrative for each and every one of you with specific expertise.
Having graduated college to become a coach is also no must!
Expertise can be also gained through experiences.
Just think of everything you could potentially help people with and go for it!
Here are some niches you could focus on (depends on your passion and knowledge):
- Business Coaching
- Language Learning
- Academic Writing
- Music Education
- Computer Programming and Coding
Online coaches mostly make money through ebooks, online courses, seminars and other informational products.
You can also offer one-on-one coaching sessions via phone, email or video chat.
Once you are well-established in your niche the sky is the limit for your income.
The best about it? Selling online courses and ebooks is one of the ways to make money passively!
Once you have created your digital products, it keeps generating more money automatically!
There are a bunch of other ways to make money passively. Read this post for more:
Social Media Management
As a social media marketer it is your task to manage small business owner’s social media accounts.
To do so, you’ll need to be familiar with each platform you are offering your service for.
Think Pinterest, X (Twitter), Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook.
Also, it is extremely important that you know how each platform works.
Every platform has its own algorithm making it necessary to optimize your client’s content accordingly.
Example: While publishing colorful images with text is best for Pinterest ,on Instagram you better create short videos to get the best results.
But be ware that there is no rule on how to get viral. Being on top of new trends is key as a social media marketer.
To get your first social media client, in most cases it is best to give evidence of your work with an own successful platform.
Let me give you an example: Having an own website that drives significant traffic from Pinterest is a great figurehead for your work.
Once people know how well you did with Pinterest, they’ll most probably ask you for assistance.
And that’s your chance!
Social media marketers can make money by, for example, setting up a business profile, optimizing content and answering questions.
Podcasting
Another great home-based side hustle idea is podcasting.
If you are passionate about a specific niche consider launching your own podcast.
Podcasting means creating audio content.
What kind of audio content you choose is up to you, but it should resonate with your target audience. That’s important!
You can choose, for example, storytelling, interviews, educational content, or entertainment.
Also, with podcast hosting platforms like Anchor and distribution channels like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, there is such a low barrier for you to enter this side hustle.
Podcasting can be perfectly done from home, just grab a good microphone and a laptop and you are all set to start!
Before you’re getting started right away, let us have a quick look at how podcasters make their money:
Podcasters make the most of their money through ads and sponsorships.
Besides, you can make money though affiliate marketing and premium content.
You can also launch crowdfunding campaigns to fund production costs or special projects.
