Ready to ride the “side hustle” trend? Of course, why won’t you? It’s easy money. But, some people have issues with showing their face. This is not an issue since there are ways you can earn big bucks even without showing your face.
So, in this post, I’ve made a list of 11+ Side Hustle jobs that don’t require showing your face. It’s a lifesaver for many people, especially introverts.
Are you really ready now? Because if you won’t I’ll leave you right here…
Freelancing
If you’re good at something, becoming a freelancer is one of the best ways to earn from home. Freelancing is an active income source, which is its only drawback. Well-known freelancers make 5-figures monthly just from one platform.
Fiverr, for example, has a special section for their “pro” freelancers. The gigs can range from a measly $10 to even $1,000.
What’s more? Now that you’re an expert, you can offer personal classes or create a course and sell it to earn even more from regular freelancing.
Selling Online Course
As I mentioned in the previous section, selling online courses is hot. Especially if you have a dedicated audience.
Everyone is trying to sell a course about a topic. Heck, I even found a dedicated course for using an Android phone. Some online courses are cheap, but some are not.
Adam Enfroy’s “Blog Growth Engine” is the most expensive course I have encountered. Still, thanks to Adam’s great name in the industry, he makes 7-figures early just from his one online course.
Guys at CreateandGo raked in $200K in one month. Most of that insane income came from course selling.
Which is insane!
Doesn’t matter. If you want to sell your course(s), start with Udemy. Later, you can either stay there or shift to a more sophisticated course-selling platform like Thinkific or Teachable for better control.
Blogging
I deserved a bonk on my head if I didn’t mention Blogging as a side hustle.
Blogging is the best side gig that doesn’t require showing your face, revealing your voice, or even your identity.
Tell me honestly? How many bloggers are there on Earth, and how many are famous? Only a handful. But some bloggers are also raking in the big bucks and are silent in their game.
If you want to dive into this side hustle storm, start with blogging. Not only do you not have to reveal your identity, but whatever you share online can earn you good or even great income.
I have seen new bloggers earn 5-figures every month from just one blog. If they can do it, you can too!
Podcasting
Blogging, Vlogging, and Podcasting have become quite popular in the last three years.
Showing your face is compulsory while Vlogging. Podcasting and Blogging don’t necessarily require your face.
It’s relatively easier to earn money from Podcasting than Blogging. While most blogs require a few months to receive a considerable number of visitors, podcasting, if unique, can make you money within 1-2 months, if not 3-4 weeks.
I know a Podcaster who earns $50K monthly from sponsorships and ads. Although he is a pro, he started making a good amount within a few months from YouTube ads.
Graphic Designer
Creating a logo for my first blog took me almost a day. I was a beginner back then and didn’t know I could hire a Graphic Designer from Fiverr for as little as $5.
While researching Fiverr gigs, I discovered that Graphic Designers are in high demand.
I stalked a designer for a few weeks and calculated the total number of gigs he completed daily. He didn’t have a team and was working alone.
This dude charged $10 (in 2022) for each gig and completed at least 10 daily.
As of today, he charges $40 for a gig. Dude is raking in big time!
So, if you’re a graphic designer, try your luck on Fiverr and see for yourself. The only thing you’ll need in the beginning is patience.
Social Media Manager
It’s impossible to avoid social media if the internet is your bread and butter. Social media provides you the exposure you need to expand your online presence.
And where there’s a will, there’s a way. Have you heard about Social Media Managing? Simply put, you manage a social media account and keep it running on behalf of the person/company.
Social media managers make at least $5000-6000 every month. Freelance SMMs earn way more than that.
So, if you don’t mind managing someone else’s social media handle, researching trends, creating content, managing a crisis, and more. In that case, you’re fit to be a Social Media Manager.
Proofreading
What is the one thing you always need to be aware of when you write something? Ideas? Yes. And what else?
What about spelling errors, punctuation errors, and grammatical errors?
And what happens when you have minimal time to check for grammatical errors, spelling errors and who knows what other errors? That’s when proofreaders come in.
A proofreader will read whatever you’ve written. They will review it and find any errors, be they grammatical, punctuation, or spelling errors.
After reading all of it, they will make corrections in the writing and make it as perfect as possible.
Proofreading is a great side hustle and is in great demand.
App Development
I have few words to describe how much money app development can earn you. In the past decades, many app developers living from paycheck to paycheck have made more money than they could ever have imagined.
The best example is the creator of Minecraft. The dude sold Minecraft to Microsoft and became a billionaire overnight. The creators of Clash of Clans earned so much money from a single game that they later donated a portion of it to the Finnish community.
If you know programming and have a rough idea of an app, you can try to create one. You don’t need billions of downloads on the app store to earn money; even a few thousand can kickstart your earnings.
My friend once launched a game on the Google Play Store and earned a few bucks off of it. How much did he invest? $0.
Dropshipping & Affiliate Marketing
Dropshipping has earned a damaging name for itself, but it’s not always true. People are still making money from dropshipping. But affiliate marketing is an excellent alternative if you’re not interested in dropshipping.
I might get cursed by saying this, but affiliate marketing is more painless than dropshipping and is easier to manage. Also, the profit margin is more excellent. I know many bloggers who regularly earn 6-figures every year just from affiliate marketing.
To avoid failure, you can try affiliate marketing before jumping into dropshipping.
Also, unfortunately, the biggest drawback of dropshipping is that you need to have a considerable amount of money to kickstart a successful, profitable dropshipping business.
SEO Consulting
SEO consulting is one industry that has gained much momentum in recent years. More people are trying to come online than ever before. And that’s where SEO comes in.
Without good SEO optimization, no website, YouTube channel, Social media page, or app can gain a higher ranking on Google Search.
SEO Consulting has some serious money if you know what you’re doing. I’ve seen SEO Consultants asking $5K to thoroughly review a website and offer a full report and solution.
So, if you’re really good at your game, SEO consulting opportunities will always knock at your door.
Brian Dean of Backlinko sold his company to SEMRush for reportedly $4 Million. Brian is THE GUY when it comes to SEO strategies, and those strategies really have made him rich.
Ebook Publishing
Do you believe that people earn 5 figures just by selling blank ebooks? Yeah, search for such videos on YouTube, and you’ll find many. Though I haven’t tried it, you can. Who knows, you can rake in the big bucks.
Just watch videos on YouTube on how to create blank ebooks. Try yourself, make an Amazon account, and try to sell.
Unlike other side hustles I have recommended in this post, selling blank ebooks requires relatively very little technical expertise.
It’s relatively easy and has enormous earning potential.
Faceless YouTube Channel
Few people know about this, but people earn 5 figures with their faceless YouTube channel. And the best part is that it’s easier than other side hustles.
It only takes a few minutes to create a YouTube channel. The only extra work you have to do is to search for your favorite niche and work on it.
Choosing a niche is extra essential. You should not select a niche you have no knowledge about. Because if you do that, it’s assured that you’ll run into several problems.
If you do everything okay, you can get at least 4-figures monthly. But you have to be aware of spam. YouTube’s algorithm is quite intelligent; if you misuse it, your channel may be terminated.
I tried to create a faceless YouTube channel in the past and posted some videos on it. But, due to time constraints, I couldn’t continue, and the views dropped.
In the end, I have a request for you. If you’re interested in starting a faceless YouTube channel, don’t buy a course and think that buying courses will make you as wealthy as the course creator.
They will NEVER share their secrets, no matter how much you pay them.
