Making money from side hustles is one of the best ways to come out of being broke and bankruptcy. But, the issue is that most side hustles don’t pay you enough. In addition to that, there are also some side hustles that scam you off your money. I know this because I have faced this scam a few years ago.
Hence, in this post I’ll list down the 10 best side gigs that makes at least $100 everyday, and that actually works. Plus, non of these side hustles require you to invest any money. So, you can start all these side jobs without any money.
(1) Freelancing
Freelancing is the first side hustle I tried that actually paid me for my hard work. Though it’s wasn’t $100 as my first payment, but after doing a little more hard work, I actually made $100 within a day. See, I haven’t talked about any specific side hustle, but only freelancing. It can be anything. Be it graphic design, video editing, music editing, or simple data entry job, freelancing can make you $100 easily.
The first question that might come in your mind is where can I earn from freelancing? If you ask me, then Fiverr is one of the best website for any beginner (or even advanced) freelancer. The pay if low in the beginning, but depending on your expertise and experience you can increase your fee and make more money. The sole reason why I’m recommending Fiverr is because it’s easy to register and find new clients.
Fiverr has millions of daily active users, and if you’re good at whatever you do, you’ll inevitably find new clients easily without even spending a dime in advertisement. Try for yourself and do let me know how it goes…
(2) Renting Website
This is a unique one. I found this idea while researching about the most unique ways to make money. You might have heard about making website, selling website, but have you heard about renting website? Here’s how this side hustle works:
Choose a niche, do as much as research as possible for choosing the most suitable niche because choosing the perfect niche is everything. After choosing a niche, make a WordPress website and work towards gathering phone numbers of people interested in getting your service. For example, if you have decided to start a window cleaning website, then your real job would be to gather phone numbers of as many customers as possible.
Now that you’ve access to phone numbers, approach all the window cleaning companies you know. And, for a constant stream of regularly customer charge a small fee of $1,000 every month. For you $1,000 might be a huge sum, but for a company making $100k in yearly revenue $1,000 is nearly nothing. I hope you get the idea… If you’re good at it, renting websites can make you some insane money. You can potentially earn $10,000 every month from 10 clients.
(3) Virtual Assistant
Well, I feel I don’t have to mention the work of a Virtual Assistant Not that VAs weren’t common before, but the worldwide events few years ago skyrocketed VA demand. Especially because everyone was choosing WFH (work from home). If you’re a good multitasker and know how to manage tasks efficiently, you can become a good Virtual Assistant any day.
In fact, today you can find many dedicated websites where you can get hired as a permanent or part-time Virtual Assistant. Those websites are real good and legit ways to make money on the side. Here’s the better part – You can make money not just working for a single person, but for multiple people, if time and patience allows.
You can also get hired as a VA on Fiverr, or you can also take the hard route of approaching people who would possibly need a VA in their life. Virtual Assistants are paid pretty well if the work is harder than usual, but even in the so-called easy case, VAs are paid dearly.
(4) Babysitting
Would you believe if I say that I have seen people earning 4-figures a month just from babysitting? Yeah, it’s possible and people are actually making pretty good money from babysitting. Of course, there are also some people who don’t earn in 4-figures. That completely depends on the skills.
But what type of skill does babysitting require? The harsh reality is that unlike taking care of pets, babysitting require more vigilance. In fact, some parents also require you to be CPR verified for an extra layer of protection for their kid. They don’t mind spending a few dollars extra, but if you’re someone with a medical background, you’re charge a little higher than an average babysitter.
Another way to bump-up your earnings from babysitting is to work in the so-called high-value areas. In simple words, choose location where rich people live. For example, you’ll have a higher chance earning more in Beverly Hills than somewhere in Rochester (New York). Because people living in Beverly Hills don’t mind spending and extra $10 per hour for their kid’s safety.
(5) Doordash
There’s a reason why I only chose Doordash for this list. The reason? I have heard from people that it’s more reliable and the payout is pretty decent compared to other services. Among all the food delivery companies out there Doordash gets the most attention, apart from Instacart.
Now, the real question is about the pay. This page from Doordash describes in detail about how much you can make as a Doordash driver. While Doordash also pays you quite well, most delivery drivers make the most money from tips. So, for a Doordash driver who works, let’s say, six days a week for six hours daily, they end-up earning pretty good by the end of the month.
Some Doordash hustlers easily earn between $3,500 and $5,000 every month only from delivering food. Yes, it’s hard work, and you might have to work even if weather situations isn’t right, but once the money gets credited into your bank, all the pain goes away immediately
(6) Etsy Store
I love Etsy, and you’ll love it too when you know how beautiful and supportive the platform is for hustlers and small businesses. To keep things simple, the sole purpose of Etsy is to establish a harmonious connection between small businesses and people who love handcrafts and DIY.
Compared to all the side hustles I have listed here, starting an Etsy store is a little more business leaning. Of course, you can treat your Etsy store as a side job, but if you’re good with art and crafts, this same Etsy store can make you immense money.
A little over a year ago I was desperate to make money and found Etsy to be a good platform to start a small online shop. After researching a little about the whole thing I quit. Guess why? Because I was never good with art and crafts, neither I knew how to create templates for Canva or Notion…
I will alert you about one thing though… If you’re thinking of selling AI-art, then don’t do it. AI-art has become highly competitive on Etsy and only a little few people actually make money from selling AI-art. Rather, DIY jewelry is sold like hotcakes on the ecommerce store.
(7) Sell Feet Pics
Now this is a unique one. People now have developed weird fetish, looking at feet and getting joy (or something more than that) is one of them. Selling feet pics is strictly adult, so if you’re below 18 I would avoid to even visit such websites.
Feet Finder is one such websites where you can sell your feet pics. The income varies though, but I’ll say you this one thing: Women are more successful in this niche. At least 99% of the sellers are women, and 99% of the buyers are men.
(8) Pet Care
Similar to babysitting, pet care services have been existing for years now. Pet care, whether it’s taking care of cats or dogs does two thinks to you: (1) Makes money, (2) Releases stress. Though most hustles would make good enough money, releasing stress is something not all hustles can do.
Rover is one of the most famous pet care services out there. Trust me, if you want to not only make money from side hustles, but also reduce and permanently cure anxiety then pet care will prove to be really good for you. I have few friends who purposefully pet sit to cure anxiety and emotional mood swings. And, I have actually seen good changes in them.
(9) Complete Surveys
Completing surveys is one of the oldest side hustles out there. Ask anyone who has completed at least one side job and they’ll know about completing at least one survey. While you’ll find several survey-completing websites, I trust only these two: Survey Junkie and Swagbucks. If I’m not wrong, these two websites are more than two decades old and still kicking.
Compared to other side jobs, completing survey is one of the easiest and the most rewarding way to earn money fast. There’s literally no risk involved and you can easily make good enough money directly in your bank account or PayPal. Few examples of completing tasks are – filling up of surveys, data entry jobs, downloading software and using them for some time, etc. You get the idea…
(10) Day Trading
I have purposefully listed Day Trading at the end of this post is because stock trading is insanely risky. If you have only watched YouTube videos or have listened to stories of people becoming millionaires then you’re looking at the bright side. You should also learn stories about people losing their entire life savings into day trading and stock trading.
So, if you know the bright and the dark side of stock market trading and still you want to jump into the ocean, use Robinhood. Robinhood is a commission-free stock trading app that came to news few years ago for various reasons. Of course, there are other stock-trading app like Coinbase that are pretty good as well. But, I’ll recommend you to test your stock market skills with as little money as possible, just to avoid any financial loss.
