Here are the three best side hustle ideas that would be
worth your time to pursue, even as a total beginner, okay
so if you're anything like me, you've been wondering what's a
good side hustle idea that can actually help generate some
income, because those bills aren't going to pay themselves
right, so I've been doing some investigating myself, and the
good news is that I've narrowed down this list for
you already. So here's what I found to be the three best
side hustle ideas in 2021 that you should really start to
deal with like right after this video. Let's talk about
the first one. Do you have a skill to teach. Perhaps you
develop some skill over the years, and you know how to do
something really well. I'm not saying that you have to be
like a world renowned, but how some kind of experience in it
to get a good result, or good outcome, quickly come up with
a list of a few skills or something that you're really
good at, and if you do have that, then teaching a class on
Skillshare. I think that seems like a really good side hustle
to get started, but then there's that common
misconception when it comes to teaching, and that you have to
be an expert actually find a better sometimes when somebody
is probably just a few steps ahead, let's say for instance
you've recently gotten into wedding photography, and was
able to book your first few weddings, taking some lessons
and improving the experience with each client from
beginning to ending, you don't need to be an expert in
wedding photography shooting of 1000 weddings in order to
teach somebody how to get started with wedding
photography and get paid. You follow.
Now maybe I should teach that. But can you make money with
it, what's actually possible according to Skillshare, is
that on average full time teachers make $200 in the
first month, with top teachers earning upwards of $3,000,
also according to Skillshare top learning teachers make
over $100,000 each year. Chances are, you're almost
guaranteed to have a large enough audience who wants to
learn whatever it is that you have to teach, like how to fix
your car, the how to cook an omelette. Here, or
photography, how to be productive. You can even learn
how to do the next side hustle on this list, which we didn't
talk about as yet but we will soon. Okay it's blogging, but
we'll get to that in just a bit. First, let's talk about
if teaching a class on Skillshare is a good option,
no with more side hustles, it usually costs some money to
start to how much does Skillshare cost, it doesn't
cost anything to publish a class like no money. However,
it would take some time, because it's videos of you
teaching a subject. If you wanted to have a successful
class, of course, you'd have to plan out the content to
figure out everything that needs to be in there, scripted
in such a way that it's entertaining and engaging, of
course, you know the filming part of it, shooting, editing
and then uploading it to Skillshare on Skillshare
teachers could set their own rates, and they basically get
paid every time somebody takes a class, so let's say you
publish your class and get some students and actually get
paid, you can use the earnings from that to reinvest into
another side hustle that costs some money to start. Overall,
it sounds like a good option. And if you do want to pursue
it. The best place to start is actually on Skillshare, It's
an excellent class then with really good ratings for
beginners, learning how to teach an amazing Skillshare
class, here's exactly what we're just talking about, feel
free to check that out using my affiliate link in the
description below, it gives you a big discount if you do
decide to check out Skillshare. Do you have a
hobby or something that you're really interested in something
that you're passionate about, or it can even be a skill that
we spoke about in the previous session also, if this is the
case and sounds anything like you then starting a blog, may
be a really good option. A blog is a type of website that
centered around the topic or topics that publishes content,
there's a ridiculous amount of blogs online on every topic
imaginable from food blogs to travel blogs to health and
fitness even DIY craft books, but of course the content and
the style of the vlog really depends on your goal. Let's
say it's a personal blog, where you're just sharing your
story, maybe more informal, or it can take the style of a
niche site centered around a very specific topic, which of
course suits, a very particular audience what's
becoming even more popular right now are blogs that are
run by businesses, with the aim to attract new customers
with a blog posts, their blog content. For example, there's
a version of this we do on punch five media.com, which is
a digital agency that's run by my buddy Jen and I, we offer
digital marketing services. So what we've been doing is
creating blog posts, where we position ourselves as experts
in the industry with a call to action for someone to book us
for consultation. And of course if it's a good fit,
then you become our client. Well, well, not you. Well,
Only if you want to, you can even take this approach, if
your skill is a service that you really want to offer,
creating blog post can position you as the expert in
your industry, as well as overtime or ranking your
content, so that when somebody searches for whatever it is
that you do, like let's say you're a blogger,
photographer, you just take pictures of burgers, we show
up on the first page of Google, or Alex good. I know I
know, could you make money with it. Let's see, according
to Glassdoor reports, the average blogger salary is over
32,800 per year. According to financial Samurai, it's not
unrealistic to make between one cent to 10 cents per page
view in many blog niches, so let's say you get 1000
pageviews in a month. You can make between 10 to $100 per
month, but if you can get to like 100,000 page views in
just one month. Well, you can probably make significantly
more than that. First let's look at laying down the
foundation, you need to decide what your blog is going to be
about, because it makes way more sense to focus on one
thing, rather than a bunch of different stuff. The next
thing is setting up your blog, which is fairly
straightforward. The first thing is that your blog needs
to be hosted somewhere on the internet. If you have a
service online to host your blog, and you'll have to
figure out what your domain name would be, which is
basically ww.something.com Now it's simpler and it's songs,
I'll tell you how you can quickly get that started
shortly, but that's what it takes to get started. What
about generating income from it. I've narrowed it down to
some of the simplest things to get started, as well as some
of the more profitable ones in the beginning, at least the
first one here is selling your services, just like the one I
spoke about in the digital marketing agency example
whereby a company would hire us to help them to get more
customers, ultimately to promote a specific product or
services, or just to grow their social media accounts,
Things like that. So in this case it's simply a matter of
figuring out what you can offer, and making sure that
there's a demand for it. The next thing you could do is
sell your own product, maybe you build a brand, and it's
around, music, entertainment, and you have some T shirts
that you're selling here, there's a simple option that I
haven't personally tried, but I've seen people do it really
well. It's called Print on demand. You can also monetize
with a digital product there photography blogs out there
that like to talk about photography shoots gays
business advice, part of their process while they're getting
projects done while editing is creating presets, and they can
take those presets now, and sell them to their audience,
who are photographers, so people that follow the blog
and like the stuff that they do, can use those presets now
to get a similar look and feel like the work that they've
seen and liked you know those cameras, those big expensive
cameras that photographers carry, if you had a
photography blog, showing all those really cool shots that
you took without expensive camera by the end of the blog
posts, you can let your readers know that this is the
exact camera that you use to take those shots, click this
link to check it out, and if somebody actually buys that
camera or lens, then you get a commission, a small percentage
of that seal, as you get enough views and grow your
blog, then you can qualify for the Google AdSense program
where you can showcase some ads across your blog posts and
whenever somebody clicks on one of those ads, you get some
money, but it's really about growing an audience, and as a
result of providing value through your blog, you
introduced the possibilities of being able to monetize it,
but you obviously want to know how much it costs, because I
did see it costs some money, but not much, depending on the
company and hosting plan, it can be as little as 295 per
month, and it definitely shouldn't be more than $10 per
month. You don't need anything more than that when you're
getting started. How much time does it take. Well, depends if
you have some time to spare, but less money, then you can
learn how to do it yourself. I'll point to some of those
resources in the description. Or maybe it's the opposite of
that, you have no time, but you have some money to spare
some hard earned money. What you can do to make up for that
loss time is that you can hire people to get it started for
you faster. No, I hope I didn't make it sound too
complex, today, because it's simpler than it really sounds,
they are organized and highly rated courses on Skillshare,
remember Skillshare. It was a first side hustle that we just
mentioned, just like this one on how to start a blog.
Blogging for beginners, you can check it out with that
Skillshare link in the description below. And if you
do decide on starting a blog. You can also use my affiliate
link to get a further discount if, if you're interested in
that, typically as getting your hosting and domain name
set up with bluehost.com, which is a hosting provider
that I highly recommend with whatever it is that you do to
generate a full time income. You must have developed some
kind of skill from that, or maybe from a previous side
hustle, so then you can offer a service in exchange for
money, with no further commitment, not having to be
by a desk in an office every day. Well after your full time
job that is, well at least you'll be by your desk,
because we're talking about freelancing online in this
site house lady. What can you make money with it. Well,
according to 2020 Freelancer research data freelancers in
the United States, in an average hourly rate of $20 and
other skill services, and the higher it so you clearly can
make some money, and there is a demand with it, which would
have increased this year so far, but is it simple to get
started on generating income with it. Well I think it is.
I've been a freelance for several years and it has been
a good way to supplement my income, being a freelance I
found has a lot of benefits, but pretty much you make your
own rules, you don't have to concern yourself on trivial
office politics, unless you like that, of course. However,
in most cases, you'll be having to move from project to
project in order to get hired and then get paid, so you are
in control here of how much or how little you will, and get
paid. Well the good news is that there are places you can
go to look for grid freelance opportunities for which are
available worldwide, some of the top ones are Upwork
Freelancer guru, people who our fiber, and how you charge
varies a lot from site to site, you can go from managing
a complex IT project and charging by the hour on
Upwork, to getting hired to create YouTube thumbnails for
fixed fee on Fiverr, you never know, maybe I can hire you as
a freelancer to help me out with that. Of course if your
price is right. But how much does it cost to get started
freelancing. Well, nothing really. Well that is if you
already developed that skill, something that you're already
knowledgeable about, and you already have the tools or the
physical tools or online tools, software, so it doesn't
really cost anything, unless you're using some kind of
monthly paid tools to make your job easier, which still
doesn't even count because if you're spending some money on
some online tools to help you get something done faster,
then you get back time. No Can you quickly make money. Well,
that depends on several factors, essentially based on
the type of job you can get paid per hour, or per project,
which can be a short or long project. You can also get paid
as fast as getting a task completed. So if you did
decide to get started, based on your skill set, have a look
at those freelance sites that I just mentioned, and see
what's in demand, what's popular and focus on offering
just one service, or at least simple site to get started on
is Fiverr, so if you don't want to try out this side
hustle and the best way to get started is actually by having
a gig, a gig. Yeah, that's what they call it they're
creating a gig that attracts attention, which is especially
true if you're a beginner, what you can do is check out
in the description next to Fiverr, you can hire somebody
for as little as $5, we'll set up an awesome gig or profile,
which should help immensely and getting your first seal.
Now even though the only three sides or slide is, we spoke
about. There was a lot of info, I know, just to quickly
recap, we spoke about teaching a class on Skillshare, being
the first title slide, which doesn't cost anything to start
but it takes some time to put it together, then it could
make more sales over time with you not being tied like
working only on it, then we spoke about starting a blog,
which costs a little bit to get started on some time, but
you could speed up on how long it takes, if you can pay
somebody to get the initial setup done, then it's to focus
on creating the content which could eventually make you more
money over time through various income streams,
and lastly we spoke about freelancing online, which
costs nothing, but it may take up more time to get started
and how much you make is tied to how much you work, but it's
really a good option if you have the extra time to spare,
or can make the time, because it really is the fastest
option the fastest way to make some money, no. So that's it
for the video. I hope it was really useful for you in
choosing your next side hustle idea. Now before I go I just
want to suggest that you pick one just to get started with
one, let me know in the comments below which one
you'll be considering, and I'll see you in the next
video.
