In the last year, the side hustle gigs have kicked off the freelance work environment by 12%. Freelancers on Upwork, Fiverr, Freelancer.com, and many other sites are making tons of money by working remotely. Most of us need a full-time job to pay the bills, but it would be great if you are able to make a couple of extra dollars on the side. There are a lot of options where you can work from home and earn more. In this article, we’ll talk about the best online side hustles that will bring you extra income.
OnlyFans Account
The OnlyFans business is booming and with a reason. With the hit of the Covid-19 pandemic, a lot of influencers, former pornstars, fitness trainers, and many more, have seen OnlyFans as a platform to earn money from the comfort of their homes. When all of the other options and job opportunities have failed, OnlyFans has shown to be a proper money-making machine. All you need is a stable Internet connection and a profile on OnlyFans. You are eligible to have an account if you are 18 or older. Teen OnlyFans is a very popular niche, so it’s easy to take advantage of the situation and start making money. You can check some of the OnlyFans girls accounts to see how they are organizing their content and learn from their experience. Many of the models use Onlyfans agency services when they get some subscribers and want to establish their online presence and gain popularity.

Write on Medium
If you are good at writing for the web, Medium is the right platform where you can publish your content and earn money. Even if you don’t have a lot of experience and have no idea where to start, a blog on this site is always a good idea. This way you can show your writing skills and talk about the things you’re passionate about. It’s a great opportunity to build your portfolio and make some extra cash.
Medium calculates the earnings depending on the proportion of time read by members. This means, if Medium members spend more time reading your article, you’ll earn more. The highest amount a Medium member has earned was $22,658 in 2019.

Translation
The translation is a good way to make money. Especially if you are fluent in more than one language and have the skills to translate. This is a competitive and lucrative business since you’ll see it’s hard to find large projects to work on, or you’ll be picking small itineraries at first, but within the time you’ll be able to work on greater deals. Fiverr is a platform that has a lot of these job listings posted, so it’s worth checking it out. The translation prices go from $5 up to 500 words. And if you decide to try your luck on Fiverr, do not forget to get the client reviews after completing the job since they are very important in getting the next gig.
Create YouTube Tutorials
The skills needed for YouTube tutorials include video editing, a good topic for the tutorials, and equipment. You don’t need anything fancy or expensive, a single smartphone would suffice as long as the videos are of good quality. There are many, let’s call them absurd videos that have earned a lot of views and have earned big amounts only for advertising on their videos. To monetize the YouTube channel, you’ll need to have a watch time of over 4,000 minutes in the last year and more than 1000 subscribers. While this can take quite some time, do not give up because the audience cannot be won over a short period. You need to earn the audience’s trust first, and then monetize the channel.
Mentoring
You’ve probably heard a lot about mentoring as a side hustle. It’s a business where you will encourage others and mentor them through a particular process. A coach/mentor should have basic coaching and mentoring qualifications since their role will be to help others achieve their goals. The best skills a coach can have are questioning and listening. You’ll be guiding and mentoring the person in the entire process and offer your first-hand advice.
Website Testing
Website testing is a simple and easy task where you can earn money on the side. It can include taking surveys online and using sites like usertesting.com. You might be asked to purchase a specific product from a certain website and provide your website feedback about your customer experience and your thoughts on the entire shopping process on the website.
Start a Newsletter
Starting a newsletter can be a great side hustle. This is a business for everybody that has an idea of how the newsletter works and has some creative skills. It’s not a quick way to make money, but it can be good for setting up the fundamentals and getting into the business. You can use tools like MailChimp, Klaviyo, Omnisend, and many others to send your campaigns and encourage customer subscription to your newsletter. Once you’ve built your database, you can start monetizing. And enjoy the fruits of your hard work.
