Side hustles are simply an extra source of income
0:02
besides the main income you bring in and there are a ton of ways to make extra money
0:07
But not all of us wanna go out into the world after our nine to five or whatever your hours are
0:12
to make extra income. If you love the idea of making money from the comfort of your home
0:17
well, this video is for you. In this video, we'll look at seven side hustles
0:21
you can do from home that you could start today. In no particular order
0:25
let's start with teaching English as a second language. You've heard those stories of people moving abroad
0:30
to teach English, but did you know that you could teach English as a second language online
0:34
from the comfort of your home? You don't have to have a degree in English or education
0:39
Although most companies require that you do have a bachelor's degree of some sort
0:43
There are online courses you could take to prep yourself for teaching English as a second language
0:48
The pay can range between 15 to $22 an hour with those having educational degrees
0:53
and teaching experience commanding the higher end of the payment range. You can work flexible hours with this side hustle
0:59
and build it to the point where it can be your main source of income. Next up, we have blog writing and proofreading
1:05
If you love writing and would do it even for free, why not get paid for your talents
1:09
Or if you like pointing out grammar mistakes like the uptight A personality that you are
1:14
that can actually make you a ton of money. You don't have to have your own blog
1:18
to get paid for writing. There are plenty of blogs and businesses looking to hire talented
1:23
and reliable writers that can produce great content on a variety of topics
1:27
Writing for businesses and e-commerce sites will make you more money, but blogs based on passion topics
1:33
can be a fun way to make extra income. Most websites are looking for writers
1:37
who are knowledgeable when it comes to SEO, which stands for search engine optimization
1:42
That means the articles you write need to be optimized to be found on Google and other search engines
1:48
when someone searches for a specific topic that the article is about
1:52
If you don't have this knowledge, there are a ton of online classes that you can take on this
1:56
You can find freelance blog writing jobs on sites like Upwork and Fiverr
2:01
At number three, we have graphic designer or print on demand. If you're not much of a writer
2:06
but have killer visual instincts, you can find freelance work as a graphic designer
2:11
It might seem like graphic design is a field that was hot years ago and has faded away
2:15
but there are still a lot of small companies looking to hire someone with great visual instincts
2:19
or graphic design skills to work for them. A related side hustle that's a hot thing right now
2:25
is designing for print on demand. There are several websites where you can upload your designs and customers will order your designs
2:32
to be printed on t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, bags, and almost anything. If you have unique design skills
2:38
and can keep up with the latest trends, do some research about this hot new side hustle
2:43
and see if it would be a good fit for you. All you would have to do is upload your designs
2:47
and the companies will print and ship the items to the customer for you
2:51
All you have to worry about is marketing. Some websites that are great for print on demand
2:56
include Shopify, Printify, and Printful. And here's a little shortcut for anybody
3:00
that's made it this far in the video. There are a ton of programs, AI programs
3:05
that you can actually just describe what you want on a t-shirt, your designs
3:10
and the AI software will come up with different ideas for you
3:14
So don't get left behind, learn AI now, and this could also help you
3:18
with your print on demand business. At number four, we have video editing
3:22
In this day and age, everyone already knows video content is king. With more and more videos needing to be produced every day
3:29
sometimes it's difficult to imagine all these creators editing all their own videos
3:34
Most of them do, of course, but there are still a ton of them that outsource video editing so that they can focus
3:39
on actually creating the videos. Small companies are also being forced to compete
3:44
for attention using videos, which means they are most likely having to rely
3:48
on freelancers to shoot and edit their videos. Sometimes they will hire an outside production company
3:53
but other times they will shoot the video themselves and need someone to put it together for them
3:58
That's where you come in as a freelance video editor. If you've never edited a video but have interest in it
4:04
it's something you can learn the basics of rather quickly and then build on your knowledge
4:09
There are free basic video editing softwares, but if you want to make money at this
4:14
you will likely need to invest in something like Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere
4:18
Since most footage can be sent online these days, you don't even have to meet up in person
4:23
to get the footage on a hard drive like the old times, which makes this side hustle a great work from home option
4:29
if video editing interests you. You can set your own hours and work a flexible schedule
4:34
as long as you meet your deadlines. At number five, we have audio book narrator
4:38
or voiceover artist. Have you ever been told that you have a great voice
4:42
and could be a narrator? Well, maybe this is the perfect side hustle for you
4:46
With more and more books coming as audio books too, authors are looking for audio book narrators
4:52
to bring their books to life. With a little bit of training and a great recording space
4:56
you can get set up at home and that narrator can be you
5:00
And you don't have to limit yourself to audio books either. There are plenty of other projects
5:04
looking for voiceover artists and you can market yourself on sites like Fiverr
5:08
and Voices to get some freelance work. Put that nice voice to work
5:12
At number six, start a creative outlet like a blog or YouTube channel
5:16
I think everyone should own a YouTube channel. Okay, so we've talked about writing for other people
5:21
and video editing for other creatives. But what if you're the creator you're rewriting for
5:25
and editing for? I know a lot of you guys are out there rolling your eyes at this
5:29
because having a successful blog or YouTube channel is a long-term commitment
5:34
that seems like a long shot to most. But it's a great possibility
5:37
especially if you are good at one specific niche. This side hustle takes a lot of work
5:42
and it can be months and sometimes years before you earn some money
5:46
I have had blogs, some successful and some not so successful. But when it finally reaches the point
5:51
where it's making some money, it can be a very satisfying way to earn some extra income
5:56
and be in total control of where it goes and your earning potential
6:00
Yes, I own blackexcellence.com, a site that focuses on wealth and growth content
6:05
in the black community. It has consistently been earning extra income for me for years now
6:10
There are times when it has earned a lot of cash and other slower times when it didn't
6:14
But those slower times were mostly due to the team not being consistent
6:18
The same thing goes for this YouTube channel. In another video, I'll share about my journey
6:23
as a blogger and YouTube creator in more detail. But for now, I encourage you to think about
6:28
creating your own brand and focusing on what you enjoy doing the most
6:32
and bring value to others. Most YouTubers these days either work from home
6:36
or just take their camera out wherever they go. So this qualifies as a great work from home side hustle
6:42
probably one of my favorite. And number seven, selling homemade items on Etsy
6:46
Last but not least, this is for all you handmade fanatics. Do you love DIY projects and creating unique
6:53
and maybe even quirky items? Well, then this work from home side hustle
6:57
can be the one for you. Websites like Etsy have brought handmade gurus
7:01
a ton of money to the point where a lot of them have made it their main hustle
7:05
And not every aspect of what you sell needs to be handmade. I've seen products where sellers are engraving items
7:11
or adding just a little extra personalized thing to sell them on Etsy
7:16
You can sell everything from home decor to clothing to baby gifts
7:19
Check out the website to get some inspiration for what you can sell yourself
7:23
You might find an idea you've never even thought about before. That brings us to the end of our list
7:28
I hope I gave you some ideas on what you can do to earn extra cash without leaving your home
7:33
That's it for this episode. I'll be back with more money tips. You know, I actually like that Beyonce song
7:39
You Can't Break My Soul. A lot of you guys need to go actually listen to that
7:42
Little side note. All right, I'm out. Peace
