1. Short Snappy Videos

This side hustle can earn you between 30,000 and 70,000 dollars per year. Have you ever caught yourself in the endless scroll of short Snappy videos online? Well, that is the world of opportunity for you, and it’s super entertaining and a gold mine. It is where creativity meets the digital age, and it’s just a matter of a few seconds of intentional content that can boost your success and income.

Let’s Understand With Example

For example, you probably know Zach King already. He began with super simple creative videos on Vine and now has millions of followers on TikTok and, I think, on Instagram. He has this unique blend of magic and digital illusion that completely captivates everybody online. His success shows how powerful micro-content can become when you blend creativity with digital savvy, so obviously, now you’re thinking, okay, so what’s in it for me? I know Zach; I’ve heard of him, or maybe you haven’t. Here’s the thing, creators, in this space.

As I mentioned, they make between 30,000 and 70,000 dollars a year, sometimes even more. You can create content that clicks with your audience. So, what is micro-content creation? It’s crafting, those quick and engaging videos or images that tell a story in just a few seconds up to a minute, and the kind of stuff that makes someone stop mid-scroll and think. Wow, I need to see this again. That is what you’re looking for.

You can start super simple with your smartphone and a little creativity. And then you can evolve this as it starts building. And one thing that you do need to remember is that it’s not just about making fun videos. It’s about understanding your audience, staying ahead of the trend, and constantly enhancing your skills. So, take Zach King as an example and see how you can bring the same type of creativity to something you already know how to do well and embed it into some micro content creation.

2. App Testing

Now, here’s an essential question for you; for our example, number two, imagine that you’re playing a crucial role in genuinely shaping the future of technology, but you’re doing that from the comfort of your home. This role is where feedback and insights can make a huge difference, and you don’t need to be a tech group to get started. Okay? So don’t panic if you’re not there.

Let’s Understand With Example

So, let’s take an example that I came across recently: Sam. Sam has always had a keen interest in tech but never thought of it more than as a hobby. Then, he stumbled upon a gig related to testing new apps for developers. Using his eye for detail and willingness to give feedback thoroughly, he became a go-to tester for many app developers. Sam’s story is unique, but it’s a great inspiration for anyone looking for opportunities in some things that could seem easy.

So, what am I talking about? And how much money can you make with something like this? People like Sam make between 50,000 and 100,000 dollars annually by testing and providing feedback on new apps. So, what exactly is this opportunity? You’re probably thinking. Well, it is mobile app testing. Yep. You read that. You can get paid to test out apps and help developers. Fine-tuning the software before it hits the market and getting started is as simple as signing up for app testing platforms and having a keen eye for usability and functionality.

If you like doing that anyway, think about this opportunity because it’s interesting how you can combine your analytical skills, look for ways to improve things, and provide constructive feedback. So if you enjoyed doing that anyway, and you’re Keen to test new apps as they come out, and you’re Keen to see what works and what doesn’t work, then look into this side hustle because it could be something that will make you a good amount of money in your spare time.

3. Voiceover Work

Here is another interesting one. Have you ever listened to an ad, a commercial, or an audiobook? And you thought I could do that? I could do it better. You might be on to something massive there. Okay, this is voiceover work that I want to talk about. It is something that many people can do and can do well, not just for actors. It is a field that anyone with a clear voice can welcome. And a bit of flair; it also helps if you have a unique voice.

Let’s Understand With Example

For example, I found Dan, who’s just a regular person, but he started doing voiceovers for small, local ads and YouTube videos. He used that dedication to build a network and became the go-to voice for many podcasts and e-learning courses. You can have a little experience as a voiceover actor. You can be an actor with a voice that people enjoy listening to. And as I said, it has some uniqueness, like a unique accent, or you can speak like a particular celebrity.

People who do voice-over work can make between 20,000 and 75,000 dollars a year, depending on how much time they want to dedicate and the type of gigs they work on. So, if you’re thinking, that sounds interesting. I want to do it, but I don’t. Know what voiceover work is about. Well, it’s about using your voice for anything related, from audiobooks to commercials, character voice animation, faceless YouTube videos, online courses, and anything that requires a human voice. As I said, this opportunity requires only a microphone and a great voice.

So, the bottom line is, if you have a voice that can bring scripts to life and tell stories and create emotions if you understand how important it is to use the right tone and the right mood and the proper intonation, if you can mimic different styles or different accents or different personalities, then you definitely can use your voice to earn an extra income.
