Side Hustles You Can Do From Home

Let’s be honest, we can all use some extra money these days. BUT it isn’t so easy to go out and get a second job. 

Here are my top ways to make money from home, and some you don’t even have to get off the couch or out of bed for! 

Create & Sell Digital Products 

Selling digital products is one of the easiest forms of passive income. You create the product once and then sell it over and over and over again. The best part is you don’t have to worry about having an inventory or shipping out a physician product. 

Canva is a super easy website to use that will allow you to create printables to sell. After creating your product simply download it as a PDF Print and upload it to Etsy to sell passively for years and years to come. 

Just a few ideas to sell are: 

• Meal plans

• Workouts 

• Lightroom presets

• Printable cash envelopes

• Excel or google sheets spreadsheets 

• Printable art or signs

• Hand Lettering worksheets 

• Kids handwriting worksheets 

• Calendars

• Productivity trackers

• Weight loss trackers

• Planner inserts

• Bucket lists

• Scavenger hunts

• Bridal shower games

The best way to market your digital products is through Pinterest, Youtube, Blogging, and an email list.

Copywriting

If you have a gift of writing then copywriting would be a great side hustle for you. Copywriting is writing advertising or marketing content for a brand. This can be a big brand or your favorite influencer. 

Some examples of copywriting are:

• Email funnels

• Sales pages

• Email marketing

• Email newsletters 

• Slogans 

• Jingles for commercials 

Starting out Fiverr or Upwork are great places to get started. You can create a profile with your packages to bring in clients as well as pitch for jobs as well. Once you get a few reviews and a portfolio built it will be a lot easier to bring in clients as well. 

Down the road, word of mouth is the best place to find clients. Entrepreneurs are always talking and sharing resources and if they like your work they will tell all their friends. 

Create a course

Knowledge is power and I guarantee you that there is something that YOU have a lot of knowledge on that someone would pay to know about.
