Money! Who doesn’t want a little more of it? Your co-worker does some freelance writing on weekends. Your neighbor shots vlogs and has one million subscribers on YouTube. Even your mom is talking about selling her hand-made cookies on Etsy. The gig economy is on the rise and side hustles are here to stay.
A little extra money can go a long way. Your day job pays your bills. But a side-hustle beside your 9-5, is a game changer. It gives you that financial freedom you have always wanted. So, here are the best side hustle options for you to try in 2021!
Dropshipping Business
Dropshipping is one of the best side-gigs you can try this year. It allows you to sell a service or product without buying any inventory. It is a low-risk gig where you don’t have to invest like launching a start-up. The manufacturer carries the inventory and also ships the products. You have to focus on the marketing and client service and that’s all. If you have strong marketing skills and want a potential side-hustle, this gig is for you.
Start A Thrifting Business
Thrifting has been quite in the trend for the past few years. Check out the things in your closet right now. Chances are high you will find some belts, handbags, shoes or blazers you don’t use anymore. It’s high time you find new owners for those items. Sort out the unused things (they need to be good enough for someone to use) and you can promote and sell those on your social media platforms. Also, you can refurbish some furniture or other accessories and sell them.
Use Your Make-Up Skills And Earn
If you are a pro at highlighting and contouring, you might have done your friend’s and relative’s makeup before. If you have the skill of blending base, combining colors, and transforming looks, why don’t you become a make-up artist on the side? Do some research, watch some online tutorials, and practice at home to master the art. You can also join a beauty class or take up a make-up course, get some special training like nail arts, henna artist, or tattoo artist.
Write Your Heart Out!
Good writers are always in demand. If you can’t get enough of your writing hobby, tell a story like none told before. Businesses seek out creative freelance writers who can transform technical data, and ideas into powerful stories that sell. If you know how to attract people with your wordplay, freelance writing gig is your true calling!
Click Photos That Sell
A picture tells a whole story if you capture the perfect frame. Wouldn’t you like to know how many bucks; besides words, your clicks are worth? Different sites like iStock and Shutterstock often need skilled photographers as their contributors. When a subscriber downloads your photo, you will earn some bucks. So, why should you keep your skills to yourself only? Some stock sites also allow you to build your own portfolio page to promote your work.
Conclusion
So, how much money can you make trying one (or more) of the side hustles mentioned above? It will take a bit of time, especially in the initial months. Have faith in your craft and stick to it. Even a side gig can become so strong that people quit their full-time jobs to pursue their passions. So, you never know what lies in your future. Keep going!
