In this video, we're going over the top 10 side hustles to make money online right now and side hustle number one is Instagram without your face. Now you probably think that in order to run a huge Instagram account, you have to be some sort of influencer who takes pictures of yourself, but that's actually not the case. I personally have spent over a quarter of a million dollars on Instagram and a good amount of that money could have gone to you. If you were running what are known as Instagram-themed pages. The way that an Instagram theme page works is you choose a niche, let's say for example business and then you upload faceless images given value in whatever niche you happen to be in. And here's an example theme page in the business niche that got over 700,000 followers. Now at this point, you're probably asking how do I actually make money doing this? Well, the way it works is that companies or people selling products will typically send you DMS asking to buy water known as shoutouts. A shout-out is simply a post on that page where you promote the product and they pay you money. And I personally know a lot of the people behind these team pages and they're making 10s of 1000s of dollars per month without ever even having to show their face or be any sort of influencer and also a lot of them live all over the world like your location doesn't matter at all for doing this. If he can make an Instagram account, you can potentially make a whole business out of doing this. For example, I know this guy in India who runs over 20 pages without ever even showing his face. Now the reason that I know people who are doing this is that I've actually bought a lot of shoutouts to promote my personal Instagram account to make money man and the reason that I'm willing to pay for shoutouts on these pages is that then I can promote my YouTube course to mastering monetization and make more money back and that's exactly how I grew my Instagram account to over 300,000 followers as well. Now the biggest question that's probably on your mind at this point, if you're interested in doing this is how do I actually grow my account to get hundreds of 1000s or millions of followers? Well, I actually talked to one of the people that I know who's doing this and he said his biggest tips for growing an account super quickly are to number one post 123 times per day on your page and he said the post is a combination of feed posts that are direct images also feed posts that are short videos and then reels which are short vertical videos. And finally, make sure to put up multiple stories per day. And tip number Two was to model already popular content, seed goes on big pages within your niche and then just start going through their posts and see what their average like amount per post is. Let's say it's 5000 likes per post and then let's say you find one image that stands out from the rest because it has over 10,000 likes on it. That would be a great image to model for your page. And also you can find viral posts by going to the Explore page on Instagram and just searching your niche the third tactic is to buy shoutouts on other big pages that are out there and to make extra money doing this you can promote affiliate products from places like Digi store 24 and Clickbank and in order to sell more shout outs so you can make more money on your page. You can actually list your account on a website called Shout cart.com Side Hustle number two is flipping free stuff they are probably familiar with the concept of flipping where you buy a product at one price and then you hopefully sell it for a higher price. Well, you can actually take this to the extreme by getting products for completely free. Now you're probably asking that where do I get free products that I can then sell for more money? Well, you can actually go to places like Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist, and then go under the free sections of those websites to find free products near you that then you can potentially mark up and sell on places like eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and more. When I was a teenager I actually did do this and I made a little bit of spare income doing so so I know this can definitely work. But I didn't really go all in doing this so I didn't make as much as I potentially could have because I was also trying to run YouTube channels at the same time as well as trying out all these different side hustles and another tactic you can do is to buy stuff for super cheap from thrift stores to then resell online side hustle number Three is Etsy without products now Etsy you might be familiar with. It's an online marketplace where people typically sell handmade goods and homemade stuff. But what you probably didn't know about Etsy is that you can actually sell products without ever even having to make a product and this doesn't even require you to have any skills. Now you're probably asking if I need an example of this. I don't believe you well, for example, this Etsy shop right here has got over 300,000 sales and it literally just sells printable photos and paintings and if you multiply 300,000 by the average order price of whatever it is, that's going to be a lot of money. And what's so cool about this is that they don't even have to pay for shipping fulfillment. Costs, or really any type of fulfillment cost because in order to deliver they literally just send a message to the person that bought with their printable photo. Now the next obvious question that comes up is where can I find our art to get for free so I don't have to pay a bunch of money in order to then sell it on Etsy where you can find art on websites like etsy.com Unsplash, Mark file Pixabay Pexels. It can also even Google Public Domain art to see what art you can potentially use but just make sure that the terms and conditions say you can use it for commercial purposes because you're going to be making money doing this side hustle number Four is blogging. Yes, blogging can still work incredibly good. Even right now there are tonnes of people making money blogging. For example, these people right here, Lauren and Alex actually created a health block of a cartoon and they grew and make over six figures per year. And then they made an additional blog called Create an NGO and they just talked about how they grew their blog and made a bunch of money. from it. And basically, the way that this works is you first of all choose a niche that is related to health, wealth, happiness, relationships, and technology.
And then you do keyword research to find out which topics to write about, and there are completely free tools like Uber Suggest or Ask the Public. You should be right about simply writing great original articles that are at least one to 2000 words long. And then host your site. There are great hosting providers like WpX hosting, which integrates with WordPress. To make your blog so you don't have to have any technical skills when it comes to coding or anything else. And then you simply need a good WordPress theme. For example, with the Astra theme, and with WordPress you can install what is known as plugins. For example, the Yoast plugin is a really good one that lets you put keywords that you might want to rank for. And once you write a bunch of articles on subjects that are ideally High search volume and low competition, then over time your blog articles will start ranking in places like Google search. People will find it there they'll go to your blog. And at this point, you're probably saying that's great, Matt, but how do I actually make money doing this? Well, to make money you can put ads on your website from places like Google Adsense and of course, you can do affiliate marketing. You might be asking not how much can I realistically make doing this? Well, there are blogs that make millions upon millions of dollars per year and most of these have been doing this for years as well. So my recommendation to you if you're thinking about doing this is to start planting the seeds now so that in the future those seeds can come to harvest and you can make money from those blog posts. And for example, Alex and Lauren from the blog that I showed you earlier, make nearly $300,000 per year from their blog, and that's nearly as much as the salary of the President of the United States side hustle number Five is promoting high payout partner products. Now if you have a blog or literally any way of getting some traffic online, then you can use that traffic to promote what is known as high-payout partner products. These are products that you can find on websites like clickbank.com or Digi store at 20 four.com and then he could promote the links on the traffic you're bringing in. Now my opinion this side hustle is the laziest way of making money online. And I have an entire video talking about this lazy method. If you want to watch it I'll put a link down in the description that teaches this step by step and shows how to make 1000s of dollars per month doing so side hustle number Six is to get people to promote your product. There are tonnes of people wanting to promote affiliate products, but unfortunately, there are not as many great affiliate products to promote. Now this leaves a huge opportunity for you and me if we have a specific skill that we can teach, and then market and sell and get other people to promote it for us meaning that potentially we don't have to do any marketing whatsoever. So the way that this works is that if you have literally any skill and no more than one person more than most people on that skill, whether it be video editing, picture editing, exercise, health, literally anything that people are interested in learning more about then you can create what is known as an online course teaching that subject. They might be intimidated when they hear that and think I could never make an online course but at the end of the day, an online course is literally just a collection of videos and if you can film videos of yourself teaching what you know, then you can sell a course on it and potentially make a lot of money and for example, you don't have to be the world's most leading expert on a specific subject. I know a little bit about YouTube because I run a bunch of YouTube channels and therefore I sell a course now my the number one YouTuber in the world, not by any means, but I can teach people how to get to the level that I've gotten into and that's what Alex and Lauren did from the blogging side hustle that we talked about earlier to bring in over an extra $100,000 per year to their blog. And I personally make over a million dollars per year from my online course that teaches people how to grow on YouTube. And one of my biggest secrets for doing that is getting other people to promote my course for me and the way that I do that is by putting my course on Digi store 24 under the marketplace section and then people can easily sign up to promote the course for me and get 50% off every single sale that they get. And the reason this is such an incredible deal for both of us is that they don't have to then create a product and sell it and do all that and I don't have to go out there and the market as much because people will be running ads, making videos, writing articles and doing all sorts of things to promote your product without you having to lift a finger side hustle number Seven is stock footage YouTube channels. Now if you're going to be running a blog, like we talked about in the earlier side hustle, then an idea to make as much as possible from that blog is to take the articles that you already have. Literally just use them as scripts for your YouTube channel. And all you have to do is just read it and record a voiceover and then just put free stock photos and videos together on top of the voiceover and boom you have a YouTube video that can make even more money and I literally got over a million subscribers on my YouTube channel without ever even showing my face. So I'm telling you this from experience and you can download completely free stock footage from all of these websites right here. So feel free to screenshot this and come back to it. If you want to do this. You can edit it together using offers like all of these right here depending on if you're using a computer, Mac PC, or your phone. You need good thumbnails which are essentially cover images for your video to get people to click on them and you can use free software like handbooks, APA, or Paint dotnet to make them the way that these videos make money is that YouTube puts ads on these videos and you get paid every single time an ad is seen. And now you might be saying Matt, I need an example of this. Well, this channel right here does exactly this literally just using stock footage. It's called brainy dose. They get 45 million views per month and our estimate is they make around $5 per 1000 views, if not more and now equal at least $23,000 per month just from ad revenue Not to mention you can do affiliate marketing promoting those high payout partner products and sponsorships to make even more money and then imagine you ran multiple YouTube channels all in different niches all pulling in revenue for you at all times throughout the day, even when you're sleeping making you made to pay for when everyone for in your life and what's great about YouTube is you upload the videos once yet they stay up forever continuing to build to make money and they say I'm so passionate about this because I literally have videos uploaded eight years ago. He'll pay me monthly like this A and I'm telling you this from my career. I started this as a teenager so just for any age is a side hustle number Eight is typing video and audio and what if you could just pop on a pair of headphones listening to some video or audio literally just type out what's being said it's paid in exchange. Well, it might sound too good to be true, but this is actually possible through something called transcribing. There are actually certain websites where people will upload the video or audio and then pay a transcriptionist to write out what's been the reason this is valuable for them. And then they can take that and maybe use it as a blog article, or they can create what are called subtitles on top of the videos. And there are websites you can go to, for example, code transcripts for the average user makes about $150 per month, and then also rev.com where the average user is made to 25 to $300 monthly, and then also scribbling where you can make five to $20 per audio hour and here's one more web three can do this.
And while you can definitely make some money doing that I want you to keep in mind that this is still trading for money because you sit down and type out what's been paid for doing so. But it is a small amount and once you do the work, the money doesn't have the potential of keeping coming in unless you keep doing this as opposed to YouTube or blogging. Where you do the work once get it can live forever and continue making you money for a long period of time. Side Hustle number Nine is helping but like I said earlier, I run a bunch of different YouTube channels and there's no way I could do that if I didn't pay people to help me run those channels. And there are tonnes of people and companies like me who are looking for people to help them with all kinds of odd jobs, tasks, and other things online. For example, I pay people to write scripts, record voiceovers, edit videos, and make graphic design images and you can potentially do this and sell your services on places like fiverr.com or upwork.com. And nowadays, there are so many different AI tools that can make your life easier if you were to go down this route. For example, if you're going to be writing scripts, you can use tools like Jasper AI or chat GPT to help you write the scripts. If you did go down this route, I would have made sure to double-check everything to make sure it's all original and make sure you put it in your own words as well and also run it through something like Copyscape to make sure it's unique. Now as for how much to charge if you were writing scripts or articles, I'd recommend charging at least $30 per 2000 words and that's if you're going to be selling it somewhere like Upwork or Fiverr. But you can also sell writing services on places like EyeWriter and this is how much they pay for recording voiceovers so you can sell those on places like voices.com and get a cheap microphone like a Blue Yeti nano or literally just recorded on your phone for making images. There are so many templates online on places like Canva or Snappa to create all kinds of different images, whether it be YouTube thumbnails, logos, etc. And then you can sell these on places like fiverr.com with this gig right here that this guy sells for doing YouTube thumbnails. He literally has over 59 orders in his queue and 5000 reviews. So obviously that's a lot of people buying this and that's a great side hustle for him and it could be for you to side hustle number TEN is running whiteboard YouTube channels. And you can use whiteboard software like Doodly or video scribe to create these very easy whiteboard videos where it's actually mostly automated for creating the video. All you have to do is write a script to record a voiceover and then you can simply drag and drop things into the video to have an Animated Whiteboard Video. So it doesn't require you to know any animation skills or anything like that. They might be saying that that's great, but I need an example to know that it's actually possible to make money doing this. And this channel right here called Philosophies for Life get 1.8 million views per month and if they make $6 per 1000 views, that's over $10,000 a month and here's the kicker, they upload two videos per month. I mean, imagine if your full-time job was literally to just make two videos per month, and then the rest of the month you can just chill or build up more videos for a backlog, schedule them into the future, and then boom potentially make a full-time income Now if you want to learn more about the lazy way of making online that I mentioned, make sure to check out this video right here because they go over it step by step, the laziest way, in my opinion, to make money online, check it out, everybody, and I will see you there.
