3 Ways to Earn Substantial Cash with Your Busy Schedule
There’s no better feeling than being able to have a little cushion between budget and fun. The most satisfying way to achieve this cushion? Earn it yourself by doing what you love.
The best way to find a fulfilling side-hustle is to consider what drives you. However, it’s not always easy to figure out which of the activities you enjoy can bring in extra income. The following are tips on some side-hustle jobs that even the busiest person can fit into their schedule.
What kinds of hobbies do you wish could make you money?
Write a list of your hobbies and consider if you can turn it into income. We have chosen a few simple side-hustles that are not completely time-consuming and do not hold you to a tight schedule.
- Home Projects
Do you love those home remodeling shows on TV and wish you could get paid to do home improvements? Between work and kids, it is difficult to find time to make any substantial side income, but improving people’s homes may just be your specialty.
If you want to be a self-sustaining handy-woman, pursue work within this field that interests you. There are many ways to learn from websites, books, classes or asking someone you trust to teach you first hand. Depending on the intricacy of your passion area, you may even want to go to a trade school.
One thing to consider is that each state has different laws and codes. It would be beneficial to learn your state’s laws and codes before starting a project. You do not want to start then have to redo any part because it was illegally installed.
In the state of Ohio, they are trying to make this process even easier by turning amateurs into contractors. This means you could go out and legally build a business with whatever home improvement project you care to learn.
- Writing
If you read avidly, then you can write. And if you diligently keep a journal, then you probably like to write. No, you do not need a college degree or to have been the best writer in your high school English class. There are many books out there that are written by amateurs. When the content is powerful, they are successful.
Think about the types of books you like to read. Have you noticed a pattern in the mystery or romance novels you enjoy? You can build a story from similar patterns then go from there.
Perhaps you have experienced a life-changing hardship and overcame it. What kept you going? Could your story positively impact someone else’s life? Write about it. Whether it is in a book, an article, or a blog, get your message out and earn some income from your passion.
- Health
Do you love working out? Learn as much as you can about different exercise variations, exercise program progressions, and anatomy. Talk with a personal trainer at your gym and ask about how he/she got there. If you have the energy and passion to lead classes, get certified as a yoga/Pilates/ water aerobics/ whatever-your-heart-desires instructor.
If your gift is in the kitchen, then go teach! Many folks in younger generations lack skill or know-how in cooking. Start your own cooking classes and market them to young adults and couples.
Perhaps you have a few recipes that are simply amazing. You can start a blog. When people try your recipes and realize they love them, they will be back for more.
Think about what your hobbies include and write down areas you are gifted in. If you like to build or fix, write and read, or you are passionate about health, you can turn it into income. It may not be easy, but as of now, the only one stopping you is you, so go ahead and make it happen.
