14 Best Side Hustles You Can Do From Home In 2024

Introduction

I have found 14 of the best side hustles you can do from home in 2024. People make millions of dollars a year with some of these side hustles; others are outstanding. There will be many side hustles to make extra beer money every month. So, depending on who you are and what you want, you’ll probably find something on this list that will be good for you. I made sure to include ones that you probably haven’t heard before. So, if you appreciate me doing this type of content, let me know by gently tapping that like button. Let’s jump into it. 

1- TikTok NPC

The best side hustle on the list will be a TikTok in NPC. So, what exactly is a TikTok NPC? Well, NPC stands for non-playable character. So, how can you make money on TikTok being a non-playable character? Well, it’s 2024. It seems you can make money doing just about anything these days. So basically, this is your live stream on TikTok, and then people pay you to do specific on-camera actions, and if you don’t think you can make money doing this.

Well, PinkyDoll is making millions of dollars a year doing this, and she makes 2000 to 3000 dollars per stream and often does multiple streams daily. Yes, this is a way that people are making money. I found this article where she says, I don’t care about the haters. What’s important is that my son will have a beautiful life, so I have mixed feelings about this. It’s ridiculous. I’m not sure why people spend money on this type of thing.

But with that being said, respect her for figuring out a perfect side hustle and how to make millions of dollars from weirdos online. There’s not just her; there are a lot of other people who are making money doing this. You must find your little unique stick and have incredible patience because you will repeatedly do the same emote reactions for hours.

But you can make a ton of money if you can do that. So yeah, this one is exciting. I don’t know how long it’s going to last. This might be a fab that only lasts a year or a few months, but people are making a lot of money doing this right now. I’ll give this one an 8 out of 10 opportunity score. 

2- Shoe Flipping

The next best side hustle will be much more stable: shoe flipping. So, flipping items is probably the oldest business known to humanity. You buy stuff at a low price and sell it at a higher price. It’s that simple. You get good at this with knowledge and expertise in whatever items you’re flipping. So I flipped many different items throughout my life, from cars to bikes to other electronic equipment, and I’ve made much money doing it. The most significant thing is you can start as a teenager.

Sneakers are some of the best items to flip. There are entire YouTube channels dedicated to sneaker flipping. Here’s a YouTube channel that’s all about sneaker reselling. So yeah, this one is perfect, and just flipping items in general is an ideal side hustle again, especially if you have a lot of knowledge about these things. So, if you’re a sneaker and you’ve been buying and selling sneakers your whole life, this would be great for you. I will give this one a 9 out of 10 opportunity score. 

3- Make Tutorials on Youtube

The next best side hustle is making tutorials on YouTube, so there are all kinds of different random niches out there where you can make a ton of money on YouTube. You don’t have to be incredibly charismatic or genius about your selected videos. There are specific niches where you can make high CPM, which means how much money you get paid per 1000 views, and all you have to do is make tutorial videos.

In some cases, if you’re smart about it, you can even put affiliate links in the description, or if you take it far, you can make your products and services and sell them on your YouTube channel. Millions of people worldwide are making money off of YouTube doing this. I, for one, was able to get to the six-figure-a-year mark very quickly with this channel, and now, after a few years, I’m making six figures plus per month.

So anybody out there can do this. So, I’m going to go ahead and give this one a 10 out of 10 opportunity score. Creating content is probably the easiest way to make big money online. It’s not just a tin out, but massive cash, and I’ve done it myself. So I know that it’s true.

4- Amazon Flex

The next best side hustle is going to be Amazon Flex. This is basically where you deliver packages for Amazon. So it’s like Uber or Uber Eats, except you’re delivering packages. Some people make over a thousand dollars a week doing this, and you can make even more at certain times of the year. Now, this depends on your location because there’s a lot more need for Amazon drivers in specific places, but most drivers earn between 18 and 25 an hour.

So yeah, this one is pretty good. It’s a legitimate side hustle. There are probably tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people who have made money with this. So, I’ll give this one an 8 out of 10 opportunity score. 

5- Mobile Car Wash

The next best side hustle on the list will be a mobile car wash. This is also referred to as a walking car wash, and this is basically where you go and wash and detail somebody’s car wherever they are. People with a lot of money are willing to pay for this because they don’t want to spend the time to go to the dealership and get their car washed in detail because that typically means they’ll have to wait an hour or more at the dealership.

People with a lot of money are willing to spend a lot for convenience. There’s a video I saw on YouTube of Randy Robrero. He makes about $77,000 a year with his mobile car wash and is only 22 years old. So yeah, this is another legitimate side hustle. It is going to be better in some areas rather than others. I’ll give this one an 8.5 out of 10 opportunity score. 

6- Writing Articles Online

The next best side hustle is going to be writing articles online. So this is precisely it. It sounds like you will be writing articles and publishing them online. You will be working as a freelancer for a long time. In some cases, you may get hired by a business full-time, but there are many other ways of making money by doing this. Now, there are a lot of people who try to do this, and they try to make money with it. They make one massive mistake, which I always like to say repeatedly not to do.

That colossal mistake is that they try to be a generalist writer, meaning they’ll write an article about anything for anyone. You don’t want to do that. Maybe you can start by doing that, but you want to figure out your niche quickly. You must niche down and become an expert in writing articles. Is there any particular vertical? So, for instance, you could write articles about investing, get good and familiar with investing, and consume all the content on it.

That way, when you write the article, it will be top-notch because it’s straightforward for people to tell when somebody writes an article about something they have no idea about. So, a specific way to get started writing online is to start writing on the website medium. They pay you AdSense for the ads in the article, and you make, on average, about $13 per one thousand words you write. However, you can make much more than this.

Another straightforward way to start is writing on websites like Fiverr. There are different freelancing writing sites out there that you can get started with as well. But again, how do you make big money if you get good at a particular niche? You only write for that niche. Can we not emphasize how important that is? Most people don’t do that, so they quickly burn out and quit.

So yeah, this can be good if you do it correctly. Of course, you can use AI to help you write these articles, but it won’t just do all the work for you. But I’m going to go ahead and give this one an 8.5 out of 10 opportunity score. 

7- Start A Podcast

The next best side hustle is going to be starting a podcast. This one is scorching right now. I think podcasts are one of the easiest ways to make money. However, making money with a podcast will take some time. Typically, this is not where you can make it and start making money immediately. In my opinion, YouTube is generally a little bit faster. Especially if you make educational content podcasts, on the other hand, it might take six months or a year before you start making money, but once you start making money, it’s going to compound quickly.

Another great thing about podcasts is they have an extremely long shelf life. So YouTube channels, for instance, frequently only last five to ten years, and then people stop watching and die podcasts. On the other hand, radio shows are generally known to those who are 30, 40, and sometimes even 50 years old. So podcasts are an incredible long-term investment. Now, not only can you make money by creating podcasts, but you can also help other people create podcasts.

There are many different jobs in the podcast industry, So yeah, this one is perfect, but it’s also long-term, so I can’t rank it very high because chances are you want to make money relatively quickly. So, I’ll give this one a 7 out of 10 opportunity score. 

8- Start A Newsletter

The next best side hustle is going to be starting a newsletter. Now, there are two different types of newsletters. There are paid newsletters, and then there are free newsletters with paid newsletters. People pay to be able to read the content. These are typically highly curated content, and they’re so good that people will pay to read them with free newsletters. They can also be pretty good, but a lot of the time, to monetize them, you have to sell stuff.

So, you will create your products, sponsor people, or drop affiliate links in the newsletter. People would sign up for these newsletters, and then they get them in their email. Maybe something like once a week. There’s a story about a guy who started a newsletter about his job, which is product management, and he makes two million dollars a year just talking about product management and how it relates to technology.

So yeah, there’s a ton of opportunity here, both on the paid and free newsletter sides. Again, the secret to this is niching down. Ensure you’re talking about a particular niche and solving real problems for real people. Now, this is one where I have seen newsletters blow up quickly, but again, it’s probably going to take you some time to start one of these and start making money with it. So, I’ll give this one a 7.5 out of 10 opportunity score. 

9- Offer Digital Marketing Services

The next best side hustle is offering digital marketing services, where you can provide various digital online marketing solutions for different businesses. These could include social media management, search engine optimization content creation, email marketing, online advertising, and managing ads. This is relatively easy to get into. I’ve interviewed many people who have gotten jobs in digital marketing, and they didn’t have a college degree or previous experience.

For instance, Marty landed a digital marketing job when he was 59. He didn’t have any experience whatsoever in digital marketing, but he was able to land a job at age 59. So, if someone at 59 can do it, you can. There are so many different ways to get started. With this means, you can offer your services on something like Fiverr or Upwork, and again, it’s essential that you only provide one service, right? Pick one thing you want to get good at and then offer it to one type of company or person.

So, for instance, you could offer SEO services for e-commerce companies. This one is phenomenal. I’ll give it a 9.5 out of 10 opportunity score. 

If you enjoy this article, think of others who might also enjoy it. Go ahead and share it. Maybe it’s a friend, a family member, or someone who needs to get a job or make some extra money as a side hustle. Please share it with them because I don’t have an extensive marketing department. Don’t spend a bunch of money on ads. I grow by word of mouth. 

10- Photography

The next best side hustle will be photography, and you’ve probably heard about this side hustle a million times before. But what you want to do to make money with photography is ensure that your niche is down again. So, for instance, I recently met a guy who has a photography studio, and one of the things he offers is creating YouTube thumbnails for people. So he takes a bunch of pictures of you, and he makes them suitable, very vivid, and very clear, and they’re designed to be used in YouTube thumbnails.

So it’s something I had to figure out by myself, and it would have been nice if I just had a photographer do this for me. So, depending on your area, this is the kind of service you could offer and make a ton of money with. So yeah, there’s a lot to be said about photography. You’ve probably heard about this a million times on the internet before. It would be best if you narrowed down your niche. There are specific niches where you can get paid much more than others. I’ll give this one a 7.5 out of 10 opportunity score. 

11- Write or Review Resume

The next best side hustle will be writing review resumes or helping people with their resumes. This is basically where you review somebody’s resume and then put a bunch of notes on it to help them improve it. Or, in some cases, you change the resume yourself. Now, this is another one where you want to niche down. So, you only want to be working on a particular type of resume for a specific career. So, for instance, if you got a job as an accountant, you would want to help other people get jobs as accountants by reviewing their resumes or helping them make it.

The reason you want to stick with one career is because you are going to be able to see very quickly. Once you’ve reviewed a bunch of resumes and the common mistakes that people make, you will have an insight into what hiring managers and business owners are looking for. Because you’re so familiar with the career, there’s a story about a 35-year-old teacher who brought in 2 million dollars from its resume writing side hustle.

I can almost guarantee that if you reach out to a resume writer who specializes in the career you’re trying to get into, you’ll get much better work than if you’re reaching out to a general resume writer. So this is a fantastic gig you offer on places like Fiverr or Upwork. Most of the people there offer general resume writing, so you can stand out by providing a specific type of resume, and you’re going to be doing much better work, and your customers will be happier.

So it’s a win-win for everybody. So yeah. Resume writing is a good one. I’ve seen many different people make tons of money from doing this. There’s another guy now who sold his business for millions of dollars, and he helped people get into the finance industry. So yeah, this one is perfect. I’ll give it a 9 out of 10 opportunity score.

12- Create & Sell Handmade Crafts

The next best side hustle is going to be creating handmade crafts, and this is one that you can make money locally or sell on websites such as Etsy. I remember traveling once, sitting in this hostile place, and I ran into a girl who makes a full-time income from selling stuff on Etsy. She sold like evil eye, rings, whatever that is. It’s just like a ring with an eye on it; she was making a ton of money doing it. This girl talks about making $1200 a week with handmade crafts.

So, there are many different reviews online of many other people making money doing this, and it’s easier to stand out here than selling on something like Shopify or Amazon just because you have to put some tender loving care into the things you make. So it’s much more special to people when they buy it because they know that they’re not just getting some mass-produced crap. So, yeah, this is a good one. You legitimately can make good money from this. I’ll give it an 8 out of 10 opportunity score. 

13- Bush Trimmer & Landscaper

The next best side hustle will be bush trimming and landscaping. So this could include all kinds of different services. You could be mowing people’s lawns, trimming their bushes, and just landscaping, making their house, lawn, and backyard look perfect. This can be incredibly profitable if you are in neighborhoods where there are a lot of wealthy people. Certain people want this sort of thing done every few days or weeks.

Again, this is one of those jobs where it’s not easy. You’re going to be working out in the sun. You’re going to be putting in physical labor. You can make money doing it because most people don’t want to—for instance, this Reddit post about someone who started with nothing. Three years later, he’s doing $110,000 in revenue a month, not a year, a month, and he says he’s making about 30 to 40 thousand dollars in profit per month from that.

So it’s not easy work, but somebody has to do it. A lot of the time, it’s these boring businesses that can be the easiest way to make money. So, I’ll give this one an 8.5 out of 10 opportunity score. 

14- TaskRabbit

Now, here’s another one that you can make a lot of money with, and you can get started even quicker than this one. It is going to be Taskrabbit, and this is an app. You can download where you can do random tasks for random people. Now, this is something I have used and been a customer of. So last time I moved from one house to another, I needed help from somebody, and I didn’t want to bother my friends.

So I just hired somebody on Taskrabbit for a day or two to help me pack everything up and help me to move it. I paid them $35 an hour, plus tips, and I paid for their lunch and dinner. So they made something between $50 and $60 an hour when it was all said and done. You can do all kinds of different stuff you can help. People move things you can paint, and you can, you know, fix their yard. You can help them clean up the house.

You can do all kinds of random tasks on taskrabbit. There are lots of people all over the world who are making a full-time income with it. So, it’s one of my favorite side hustle apps. I love it. So, I will give this one a 9 out of 10 opportunity score.
