If you love writing and are passionate, why not start a blog? Blogging is a great way to make money on the side. 

I only recommend blogging for people who are truly serious about it. It takes a lot of dedication and time.

Many bloggers won’t start seeing any money until months or years of being consistent!

Focus on finding a niche that you’re passionate about.

Starting a blog on a topic that you don’t truly enjoy will be hard, there is no motivation to keep going.

 Again, you won’t see money quickly, so being passionate about what you create is so important.

Create a content calendar so you’ll never run out of ideas. I recommend starting a website with Blue Host, it’s very affordable for new bloggers.

There are multiple ways you can money from blogging. Google Ads is the easiest ad agency to get into in the beginning.

The more page views you get the more money you make!

 So focus on SEO and promoting your blog on Pinterest and other social media. As you grow in page views you’ll be able to apply to Media Vine or Ad Thrive.

The next way you can make money is through affiliate marketing. This is essentially making money by recommending products.

You can start making money through affiliate marketing very early on! I use Shareasale or Amazon Affiliates. They’re so simple to use. Any blogger of any size can apply and you will get accepted!

The last way is with sponsorships from brands.

 As you build your community online brands see that and want to work with you to promote their product.

 Having an engaged community is very important for sponsorships.

 Make sure to connect with your audience and learn how to incentivize engagement on social media!

An Affiliate marketer is someone who earns money by sharing links to products and earns commissions. 

You can share links on your blog, Instagram, or YouTube channel. This is my favorite online side hustle because you can make money in your sleep!

If you have products that you are showcasing or products many people are asking about share an affiliate link!

Depending on the website they will have cookies and track users from 24 hours to 90 days!

This means that you earn a percentage of commission on everything a person purchases on the website you linked to!

A great website to start on is Shareasale. Not only is it super easy to get into, but you can search for merchants and organize them in folders so you can keep track of all your links.

Amazon affiliates are also amazing because who doesn’t use Amazon? You can link your favorite items that you use daily and make money from them!

 Like to Know It is also a great platform to use if your social media qualifies for it!

Starting a YouTube channel is a great online side hustle you can start at home.

 You have to reach 4,000 watch hours and 1,000 subscribers before you’re monetized with Google Ads but it’s not the only way you can make money! 

You can also make money with affiliate links and Brand sponsorships!

The secret to growing on YouTube is consistency and knowing your audience.

Define your niche and ask yourself what your audience wants to see from you.

Who is your audience what do they like, and what do they engage with the most? Keep creating this type of content and you’ll undoubtedly see success.

 I recommend new Youtubers start by posting once a week.

My best tips for creating a successful YouTube channel are to make sure your thumbnails grab attention, focus on watch time, and do keyword research before planning videos!

It’s great to have unique video ideas that grab attention, but most people have to start by following what is trending to cultivate a core audience.

After gaining an audience is easier to find success by creating more unique videos!

If you have a great selection of clothes that you know you’ll never wear consider selling them on Depop!

 I have so many clothes that I put up on Depop and I have sold them within weeks.

 Offerup and Mercari are also great apps to use to sell your old clothes.

Schedule a day to clean out your closet, wash, and organize your clothes.

Take great pictures of your clothes and put them up for sale! This is an easy online side hustle to start at home.

Facebook Marketplace is a great way to sell items you no longer use. I can’t tell you how many second-hand items I’ve bought from Facebook!

I know many people who buy from thrift stores to resell the item! I’ve also bought repainted and refinished furniture.

There are so many ways to make money in the comfort of your home! These best online side hustles have made me money in my sleep.

 Earning extra money can alleviate so much stress and uncertainty.

My best advice is to start as soon as possible, and learn as you go!

 You have so much time to create the life you’ve always desired.
