In short: an easy side hustle is an online side hustle that you enjoy doing.
When you have fun, everything is easy, right? So you start with your interests. What gives you pleasure.
From there, you just need to find a side hustle that fits.
One man’s easy is another man’s hard. It may be easy for you to create Notion templates and make $10,000+ per month with this side hustle. Or you may find it easier to create a newsletter about gardening.
You need to find out what you love to do (or at least like).
When you like what you are doing, it is easy to keep doing it. And that is what makes a side hustle work and pays you money. Month after month.
Before you start, you need to have the right mindset.
What separates winners from losers both online and offline?
Their mindset. Winners do not whine. Winners do.
Winners plan first. Then they execute daily. The focus on the goal and take small steps. They have patience. They visualize themselves reaching the goal.
And they know with almost certainty that if they put their mind to it, they will reach their goal.
Can you adopt that mindset?
Will you?
In a moment, I will give you three side hustles that are really easy – for the right person. If none of them hits the spot for you, you can find your own winner by making a list of:
The sweet spot and best side hustle is one you will find in all three lists.
When you have your side hustle idea, you need to do the next step. That is coming up for a plan for starting on that side hustle. Do you need more knowledge first?
Or can you start right away?
After that, schedule time in your calendar for your side hustle. Persistence is important. Winners do. They do not sit around and dream about doing. So it is a must to have time for your side hustle.
You make sure you have it by scheduling it on your calendar.
Here are my choices for online side hustles with a big money-making potential as well as feeling easy if you like and are interested in the topic.
Money-wise, this method can be the top winner.
It is writing fiction. Especially if you write romance or mysteries. Those two genres are the biggest sellers of them all. Yes, an ex-president’s wife’s autobiography may top the best-seller lists for a while.
But fiction will win in the long run.
If you love to read and write stories, this will feel like an easy side hustle to you. Sit down and make up stuff… how much easier can it get? And if you do not yet have the skills it takes, there are plenty of courses and books to find about the topic.
If you like creating pretty things and also writing about your interests, then blogging will be easy for you.
You have so many ways to make money with blogs. You can monetize them with ads and affiliate products you recommend. Or you can sell the blog, either as a starter blog with no income. Or as an income-giving resource for someone with the money to invest in a blog.
It is easy to set up a blog today.
Get a domain and hosting. Install WordPress. Get a theme, and you are up and running.
Now you need to remember that winner’s mindset thing again, though.
With blogging, it is important to stay persistent. Keep publishing new posts once or twice a week. Keep sending traffic to your blog with Pinterest and by doing search engine optimization (SEO).
The magical word here is “keep.”
Without persistence, you will keep struggling.
This relatively new side hustle has already made early adapters of it their first $10,000 months.
Notion is a free tool that works on all platforms and even online in a browser. It can work as a notebook or a database. When you combine the two, magic happens.
You can learn to make Notion templates that you can sell.
For the right person, this will never feel like work. It can be so much fun and it can be so satisfying to see the results.
Some make minimalist Notion templates all in black and white.
Others create beautiful and more feminine templates with images and colors, either following a theme (pink or blue) or with many colors on them.
Once you know the basics, it is just coming up with ideas for helpful templates, and your job will be easy.
To give you some ideas about templates that sell, there are:
To come up with your own ideas, you just need to think about what you would find useful in your daily life.
You can typically sell the Notion templates on Etsy or Gumroad.
When you find something fun and interesting, it is easy to do.
When you aim for a good side hustle, always have at the top of your mind that you must like it. You must be interested enough to sticking to it. And if necessary to learn more about it.
To grow your skills.
The highest paying side hustles also crave the highest skills. Otherwise, everybody could do it and there would be lots of competition. Get good at what you are doing, and you can make more money.
And always have that winner’s mindset.
If you deviate from it, get back on track as fast as you can. And then enjoy your easy side hustle.
