The best side hustles from home: How you can earn money without leaving your house

Do you wish you earned more from your day job? Are you feeling unfulfilled in that job, and dreaming of a way out? If so, you're not alone. According to a survey conducted by Insuranks, 93% of working Americans have a side hustle. For some, that side hustle is a way to earn some extra pocket money or to stay afloat during the current cost of living crisis. For others, it's a way to find purpose when their main job isn't satisfying them.

If you're looking to join the millions of people who are trying to earn money from their passions, or you want to top up your income with some casual and easy work on the side, take a look at these side hustle opportunities – at least one of them is bound to suit you.

The best side hustle jobs

Side hustles requiring little or no experience

1. Pet Sitting

If you love animals, why not turn that into a chance to earn some extra income? Many pet owners don't want to put their pets in a kennel when they go on holiday. They'd rather work with an independent pet sitter they can meet in person and build trust with.

If you already work from home, pet sitting fits nicely with your lifestyle. Before starting this kind of business, be sure to check what training and insurance requirements exist in your area. In addition, check that your rental agreement allows you to run a business from home.

2. Gig Work (e.g. Delivery Apps)

Okay, fine. This isn’t a job you can do while staying at home, but you don't have to go to an office, either. Delivering for an app, such as Uber Eats, can be a handy source of a second income during difficult financial times. It can also bridge the gap if you're temporarily unemployed. The terms and conditions of employment vary depending on which app you're using and where you live, but many gig workers do well from customer tips.

The downside of gig work is that the most popular apps have a lot of competition. If you're working on a delivery or taxi app during peak times, you may be racing against dozens of other drivers or riders to get good jobs. This could eat into your profit potential, especially if you can only work specific times of day.

3. Tutoring

Did you excel at mathematics when you were in college? Are you bilingual? If so, you may be able to turn your special skill into a second income by providing online tutoring. Apps such as MyTutor connect learners and tutors, making the marketing and payment side of the processing relatively simple. You can also tutor independently - as long as you have access to live video software and a way to take payments, then you can run your own tutoring business.

Did you know that your whop can be the perfect environment for tutoring? Simply create your whop and integrate a video app for live video calls, a files app for worksheets, and a chat app for conversation, and there you have it - an online tutoring business! Whop even takes care of payment processing and can even act as your MoR.

4. Translation

For bilingual individuals, translation services offer a chance to leverage language skills while working from home. As a translator, you help ensure accurate communication across different languages, which can be crucial for various industries, such as legal, technical, and business.

Specializing in a particular language pair or industry can enhance your marketability, but it isn’t necessary to get started. Clients typically seek error-free, high-quality translations, so having good attention to detail and familiarity with specific industry terminology is going to be essential–but translation work doesn’t typically require any particular qualifications.

5. Blogging

Are you particularly passionate about one of your hobbies? If so, why not start a blog about it? You may not get rich from a niche blog, but it could help subsidize your hobby if you develop a decent following. For example, a travel blogger could embed affiliate links and ads for travel price comparison sites. An athlete may be able to sell ad space on their site to companies that make the kit they use in their training.

To make money from a blog, you'll need to spend some money on web hosting and a domain name, but if you post regularly and build up a following, you should be able to recoup those costs and make a profit.

6. Paid Surveys

Filling out market research surveys is one of the easiest side hustles to get started with. The hourly rate for this sort of job isn't very high and the income isn't guaranteed, but it's something anyone can do and there are no commitments or contracts. The level of available work can vary, but there are usually a few surveys available every day and the income can mount up over time.

There are lots of survey platforms to choose from. Two of the most well-known are Swagbucks and Survey Junkie. Some platforms, such as Attapoll, have a mobile app so you can fill out surveys during your daily commute, turning time that would usually be spent doomscrolling into a chance to earn a little extra income. Emphasis on the little - some surveys offer only a couple of dollars, while others offer giftcards.

7. Usability testing

In a similar vein to user surveys, some market research firms recruit people to test apps, games, and websites. This usually involves downloading some screen recording software and spending some time completing tasks in the app being tested. Some companies ask you to record yourself and provide your thoughts verbally while you're using the software so they can get a deeper insight into your thought process if you find any part of using the app confusing or challenging.

Income from this sort of side hustle isn't guaranteed. Sometimes you'll have lots of jobs to choose from. Sometimes, platforms such as Enroll and UserTesting have multiple jobs going, each paying $100 or more. Sometimes you'll log on to the same platforms and find nothing available.

8. Live chat agent

Many companies and agencies hire live chat agents to provide technical support or product-related assistance. While some of these companies have fixed hours, others pay per problem resolved and allow you to log on at any time to pick up queries.

This kind of flexible work is ideal for a digital nomad. You can relax on the beach during the day and pick up a few queries from your hotel room to top up your bank balance.

9. Reselling

Reselling is a popular side hustle because it requires no experience, is easy to start, and is pretty low-risk. The basics simply involve buying products and then selling them at a higher price to make a profit. It's a flexible option that doesn’t require specialized skills but benefits from a keen eye for deals and trends.

Finding the right products to flip is key to successful reselling. Popular items include vintage clothing, electronics, collectibles, and even everyday household goods.

Reselling can be lucrative, but success often depends on your ability to spot trends and understand market demand. While the initial income might be modest, many build reselling into a substantial side business over time. Just remember that, like any venture, it requires effort and attention to detail to maximize profits and ensure customer satisfaction.

10. Streaming

Streaming is a fun and opportune side hustle suited to those who have an engaging personality and aren’t afraid to entertain a (chat)room of strangers. With streaming, you can build a fanbase of live viewers interested in keeping up with your gaming, creative pursuits, or other passions. Thanks to platforms like Twitch, Whop, and YouTube, it’s easy to broadcast your content and build a community around your interests.

Choose a niche that aligns with your passions and personality, invest in a good setup (including a quality microphone and camera), and establish a consistent streaming schedule. Social media is key to growing your audience and driving traffic to your streams.

So, how do you make money from streaming? You have options! Subscriptions, donations, sponsorships—there are various ways to earn from your content. Streaming can become more than a side hustle as you build your channel.

11. Dropshipping

Dropshipping involves making a deal with a supplier so you can sell their products and have them ship the item directly to your customer. It's a convenient way of doing business as you don't have to deal with holding any inventory yourself. The supplier handles order fulfillment, all you need to worry about is payment processing and marketing.

This isn't a business to enter into lightly. It's incredibly competitive and if you choose the wrong supplier issues with shipping or product quality could damage your reputation. However, if you have strong industry knowledge and a good marketing plan, you can make money this way.

12. Virtual assistant

Are you good with people? Do you have strong organizational skills? Virtual assistants support busy executives, handling small tasks such as travel bookings or managing the executive's calendars.

Many virtual assistants do the job as their main source of income, but you don't have to do that. Some clients are looking for someone who can do a few hours of administrative work a week, making it an ideal side hustle.

13. Proofreading

Proofreading is a straightforward, remote side hustle perfect for those with a keen eye for detail. If you excel at spotting grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors, you can turn this skill into a profitable side hustle.

Establish a professional online presence and use platforms like LinkedIn and X to find clients and showcase your work. While no formal qualifications are required, familiarity with various writing styles and strong attention to detail are key to landing work.

14. Start a podcast

With the global podcasting market set to reach $34 billion in 2024, you may have wondered about starting your own podcast. It’s a creative side hustle that you can also manage fully remotely. All you need is quality recording equipment, editing software, and a reliable internet connection.

The barrier to entry is low, making it clear that anyone with a passion and a plan can become a podcaster. To come up with a show idea, start by defining your niche and target audience, then develop a content strategy. Monetization options, including ads, sponsorships, listener donations, and subscription models, are pretty lucrative if you play your cards right.

15. Review products

Companies are eager to gather consumer feedback and social proof, so they often offer compensation or free products in exchange for detailed reviews.

To get started, focus on products you are genuinely interested in or knowledgeable about. Create a professional online presence by posting your reviews on personal blogs, YouTube, or social media platforms.

As a product reviewer, you’ll need to provide honest, thoughtful feedback and maintain high standards for your content. This role offers flexibility and can be fun to engage with the latest products and trends while earning extra money.

16. Buy and resell digital products

The digital resale market is the perfect opportunity for low-cost, high-reward side hustle income. By buying PLR products like templates, ebooks, or journals, you can rebrand or bundle them to create exciting things that perfectly fit your niche.

Buying these ready-made products in bulk means you won't pay much, but you can then tailor each one to charge more. For example, you could buy a massive pack of journal templates and then spruce them up to sell them separately, with options like habit trackers or weight loss journals.

Reselling digital products is great because after you’ve made the product you can generally have a constant, passive income that requires little in the way of maintenance.

17. Make up your own mystery boxes

If you enjoy a hands-on project, why not make up those fun subscription boxes and turn that into a side hustle? This one does involve a little more overhead and a lot more work, but in the end, you'll have yourself a proper business.

You can use platforms like Cratejoy and Shopify to work out the logistics. Work with various brands or even local artisans to acquire products you can let your customers try. You can also create your own website to sell your products!

Subscription boxes can be on any theme that there’s a market for. Some of the most popular ones are self-care, makeup, skincare, snacks, coffee and tea, jewelry, and accessories.

Skill-specific side hustles

18. Software development

You don't have to be a 10X developer to be successful in the world of IT. If you've got some programming skills, you can put them to use to earn a second income. Look at the Github and Gitlab pages of open source software you use frequently, and see if there are any bugs that people are offering bounties to have fixed.

Alternatively, set up a profile on a freelance website, and sell your services. Some examples of in-demand programming skills include fixing issues with websites and writing scripts to perform repetitive data-processing tasks.

19. Handmade crafts store

Stores such as Etsy and Not On The Highstreet allow independent artists to sell their handmade goods to a large audience. If you enjoy making jewelry, doing embroidery, or anything else artistic, you could turn your hobby into a profit-making side gig.

Your earning potential depends on the type of product you make and the audience you're catering to. When setting your prices, don't just price your work based on the cost of the materials - remember that your time is worth money too. If you sell digital crafts, like digital artwork or coloring sheets - your profitability can be much higher as the cost to make these is much lower. You can sell all sorts of digital files on Whop for just a 3% cut!

20. Art and illustration

Creatives and artists have loads of side hustle opportunities, ranging from designing book covers and merchandise to crafting custom commissions. Plus, this field allows you to work remotely and attract a diverse array of clients.

A strong online presence is crucial for success, so actively showcase your portfolio on visual platforms like Instagram and Pinterest. While artistic talent is key, building and maintaining an engaging online presence will help you connect with potential clients and secure projects.

21. Graphic design services

If you're a wizard with a graphics tablet or know your way around Photoshop, you can turn those skills into an extra income by taking up graphic design jobs on the side. From making company logos to helping influencers design eye-catching posts, there are lots of opportunities out there.

When you're just getting started, you may need to use freelance job boards to find customers. As you gain experience, you'll likely have a steady stream of repeat customers and can rely on word-of-mouth marketing. This cuts out the middleman and means more of the fee goes to you directly.

22. Website flipping

For some entrepreneurs, starting a new project and building it up is fun, but maintaining the project is less enjoyable. If that sounds like you, why not try flipping websites? Online marketplaces such as Flippa provide a platform for entrepreneurs to buy and sell blogs, affiliate marketing sites, web directories and online stores. The value of your platform is based on its traffic levels and recent earnings. If you've got good SEO and keyword research skills, you may be able to build a website that fetches a good price on the site.

If you're a buyer, be sure to do your due diligence. Remember current income isn't a guarantee of future success, and if you don't know the market well or aren't able to invest time into maintaining a website, the income could fall off quite quickly.

23. Publishing ebooks

Have you always dreamed of being a published author? Do you have some great ideas for a fiction novel bursting to make it out onto the printed page? Are you an expert in an unusual subject? If so, why not publish an ebook? Today, anyone can write a book and sell it on a digital download platform, or as a print-on-demand product.

Self-publishing has a low barrier to entry. At the most basic level, all you need to do is write the content and save it as a PDF. The authors that have the most success are the ones who work with editors, proofreaders, and graphic designers to put together a professional-looking product and then invest in marketing it.

24. Selling online courses

We've already talked about tutoring as a side hustle. However, one of the downsides of tutoring is that you can only take on a handful of students before your calendar fills up. If you create an online course that shares the same information with your learners, you can sell it to an unlimited audience. Plus, the demand for online courses continues to grow, with higher education expected to attract over $2.4 trillion in spending by 2030!

Whop offers an easy-to-use course creation tool that lets you share text, video, and audio content with your learners. You can break a course down into modules, and even include quizzes. Once the course is uploaded, you can sell it over and over again, generating a semi-passive income.

With nearly every business active on social media, offering management services can be a good option for those with a little marketing experience. While specifics vary from business to business, this hustle involves managing a brand’s or public figure’s online presence across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and X.

While SMM doesn’t require a formal degree, some experience and knowledge are essential. You can enhance your skills through online courses and resources on content creation, audience engagement, and analytics.

Whether you specialize in content creation or social media strategy, there’s room for growth as you gain experience and attract clients. Social media management not only provides extra income but also helps you develop valuable digital marketing skills, which you can transfer to other side hustles.

26. Ghostwriting

A great side hustle for those who prefer to stay behind the scenes. As a ghostwriter, you create content for others to publish under their names, from books to LinkedIn posts. Do you know that many published works (including approximately 70% of books) are ghostwritten?

This role allows you to leverage your writing skills while maintaining anonymity. It’s a lucrative opportunity that can also build your confidence and open doors to other writing opportunities, but you do need some writing experience and skill to compete in this gig.

27. Trade stocks & teach others

Many of our Whop creators have built successful side hustles (and full-time businesses) from trading and teaching stocks. If you’ve got a strong understanding of market trends and trading strategies, this could be a side hustle for you. However, given the inherent risks (including potential losses), it’s crucial to approach trading thoughtfully.

Teaching others to trade can be another key revenue stream for those who excel. You can create and sell online courses, write educational guides, or offer personalized coaching sessions. This dual approach of trading and teaching combines hands-on experience with educational opportunities, making it a versatile and rewarding side hustle.

28. Teach a language

If you’re already fluent in multiple languages, then teaching and talking to learners through an app can be a really rewarding side hustle. This is different from tutoring in the sense that you'll only work with them through an app, allowing a third-party service to connect you to potential students.

Apps like iTalki, Preply, and VIPKid are already set up to bring tutors on board in a way that lets you pick your rates, teaching style, and times when you’re available. Remember that you can make more money (at a smaller cut!) if you use a platform like Whop to sell your own courses, quizzes, or study journals.

29. Offer remote tech support

If you have a knack for working with technology, then you can try virtual tech support as a way to make tech-industry money without changing out of your PJs.

Network issues, installing new software, tackling annoying system updates, and implementing new security measures are just some of the things you'll tackle as an on-call IT consultant. You can even do things like helping people pick out the right components for their next PC build.

Look for these kinds of jobs on platforms like Reddit or various Facebook groups. If you want to get paid safely, you can always send them a Whop checkout link—a secure and simple option for both parties.

30. Make PLR products and sell them in bulk

You can make PLR (Private Label Rights) products to sell in bulk and generate passive income. With PLR products, you create digital content for other people to rebrand, edit, and resell.

Common things to make in this category are ebooks, post templates, or even video tutorials. You can sell PLR products on sites specific to it like PLR.me and ContentSparks, or you can sell directly through other platforms like Whop or Etsy.

A lot of PLR bundles are massive and can net you a pretty penny, although, of course, people are buying these things to resell—so there's a potential for even more profit if you cut out the middleman and customize them yourself.

On the other hand, once you've made a bundle, you can keep selling it while you work on the next one, so there's little to no upkeep involved.

31. Create and sell Notion templates

Notion can be a real lifesaver, be it in project management or even in just day-to-day tracking for your own personal purposes. It can also be a pain to set up, which is why specialized templates are a huge hit.

If you’re familiar with Notion and good at making templates, you can create them along a variety of productivity themes. You can sell Notion templates on Whop, where you’re free to bundle them with extra material, such as trading tips or mental health trackers.

You can set your own prices for each bundle, and you can even set up a subscription to give people access to regular updates.

32. Create digital recipe/nutrition plans

Any side hustle that helps people make decisions about their lives (or even takes some of those decisions off of their plate) has winning potential.

Let's say you know your way around a kitchen. Awesome—you can capitalize on that by offering meal plans or cooking ebooks for people to follow. You can even offer customized plans based on what your clients want.

If you're officially qualified to offer nutritional advice (check your local laws before you do), that can also be an added layer and a reason to charge more for your expertise. This type of side hustle is just a hop and a skip away from becoming a fitness coach.

How to find side hustle jobs

Finding freelance or gig work

Let's face it, almost everyone dreams of escaping the rat race or earning a little extra money. However, there are many scammers trying to exploit people with the promise of easy passive income. If you're looking for a side hustle job, you need to approach your search cautiously.

Remember, if something looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Freelance job boards can be a good source of side hustle ideas, especially if you have a marketable skill that you're willing to put to use in your spare time. There are always people looking for a graphic designer or a bookkeeper, and this can be a reliable way to supplement your existing income.

Creating your own side hustle job

If you want something you can do on your own schedule, and that has the potential to generate a passive income, you'll need to approach the idea like a business. It helps if you can get some advice or tips from people who are already running successful online side hustles. One place to do that is the Whop Marketplace, which is full of communities dedicated to making money online.

You can find side hustle opportunities catering to all interests, tastes, and levels of commitment, including:

Ecommerce opportunities
Turnkey businesses
Reseller opportunities
Personal finance and trading

When choosing a side hustle, think about how much time and money you have to get it off the ground. For, example if you're a student, you need a side hustle that fits around your studies. The more time and/or money you're able to invest in your side hustle, the greater the earning potential, but there are still opportunities out there that can generate success with a slow and steady approach.

Another thing to consider is your level of risk aversion. Side hustles based around arbitrage trading or matched betting can be profitable, but there are some risks associated with them. Only try those ideas if you fully understand how they work and you're willing to lose your initial investment.

Things to look out for when searching for a side hustle from home

Things aren’t all sunshine and roses in the world of side hustles. Here are some of the things to be wary of as you try to start working from home.

Avoid job scams

No one wants to fall for a scam, but plenty of people do. There are a lot of scams that specifically target individuals who are trying to make money online and work from home.

Keep a careful eye out for these types of scams:

Jobs with minimal work and high pay
Customers who want your personal information
Job listings on unfamiliar or brand-new websites
Anyone who wants you to "pay to play," as in, pay to start working or buy work equipment with your own money
Anyone who offers to send you a check to cover the purchase of something work-related—those checks will often be fraudulent

Remember that if it seems too good to be true, it often is.

Keep payment terms clear and secure

Be wary of anyone who tries to negotiate your rates, offers to pay in increments that you don’t typically work with, or asks for a free trial or sample.

You can avoid this danger by using a known marketplace like Whop, which comes with a secure payment system.

Don’t work for exposure

Another type of not-quite-scam involves customers who ask you to work for free in exchange for advertising you on their social media or their own platforms. While it’s up to you to decide if there are situations in which this is worth it, consider that no valid customer should be expecting you to work with no compensation.

Watch out for scope creep

Even good clients can be guilty of scope creep. This is when a client continues to add tasks or request services beyond what was originally agreed to.

Let's say that you offer tech support, and while doing a job where your client wants you to assess their security, they ask if you wouldn’t mind also installing some new software—that’s scope creep.

Spending too much of your time on a client without getting more money for it can be exhausting and devalues the rates you charge. Make it clear to clients who begin to extend past their boundaries that there will be an additional fee for any work that they would like you to do.

Keep a diverse client pool

Having one or two amazing customers can make you feel great, but try not to rely on just a few of them. If you do, then you’re risking a sudden drop in revenue if one of them suddenly cuts ties or has to reduce their budget.

Keeping a more diverse group of clients and spreading your time out between them ensures that losing one won’t hurt you too much.

So, what are the best side hustle jobs?

For most people, the idea behind a side hustle is to generate extra money without feeling like you're working a second job.

Gig economy jobs such as Doordash are OK for getting some extra pocket money, but once you factor in the cost of fuel and wear and tear on your vehicle they don't pay a particularly good hourly rate.

Another downside of those jobs is that they're not a dependable source of income. If you need extra money you have to go out there and do the job. You can take the day off if the weather's terrible or you're not feeling great, but if you do so, you're not going to get paid.

The best side hustles are the ones that offer semi-passive income, and ideally, ones that you can scale up as you gain experience.

Experimenting with dropshipping physical products is the first step into running a side hustle for many entrepreneurs, but this has a lot of downsides:

The market is saturated, and margins are incredibly thin
You can't control the quality of the products from a third-party supplier
Shipping times can be unpredictable, causing frustration for customers
Faulty products and missing deliveries can eat into your profit margin

Digital products, however, avoid these issues.

Benefits of digital product side hustles

Selling digital products removes many risks associated with physical products.

You get to create the product yourself, so you have control over the quality and your branding. You can sell your products to people all over the world without having to worry about shipping costs and delivery timescales. In addition, if you do find yourself needing to issue a refund, you won't be out of pocket for the cost of the product itself. You can sell virtual products many times over.

Some good options for passive income include:

Ebooks
Online courses
Paid newsletters
Instructional videos
Website themes
Plugins and browser extensions
Apps and games

With each of the above products, you can create the product once, then invest ongoing time and effort to market it. Depending on the niche, you might need to invest time to refresh the content and ensure it's still accurate and current, but this time investment unlocks potentially unlimited earning potential, making digital goods an ideal side hustle.

How much money can you make with a side hustle?

Your earning potential from a side hustle depends entirely on your own personal ambition and how much time you're willing to invest in growing your site business.

Some people are happy with a casual side gig while on maternity leave, such as filling out online surveys or doing consumer focus groups. This option might only bring in some pocket money, but it's low hassle and even fun. Others take on clients providing bookkeeping or coaching services. You can make a decent second income doing this, but your total income will be limited by the number of clients you can serve.

If you want to make much more money, you'll need to find something that can scale more effectively. Selling digital products is a great option, as one product can be sold to an unlimited number of customers and the overheads on producing, storing and distributing these products are limited compared to selling physical goods.

Many of the creators on Whop make $4,000 or more per month from selling digital products. Some of the platform's top creators make more than $250,000 per month. Once you come up with a good idea and execute it well, your online business could bring in a substantial income.

How to turn your side hustle into a full-time job

SIde hustles are side hustles for a reason. They're super flexible and can be done as an addition to your full-time job.

But what if you could just ditch your full-time job and become your own boss? If you're ready to scale your side gig into a full-on business, check out the tips below.

1. Save up before quitting

The first thing you need to have is patience. There is some inherent instability in turning a side hustle into a full-time income, so make sure you’ve done everything you can to prepare yourself in every way—including financially.

Create a realistic budget of how much you spend in a month and whatever overhead your business will cost you. Once you've got that sorted, it's time to start saving.

Many experts will tell you that you need a 6 to 12-month cushion of savings before quitting your job to run your own business, but only you know your own situation.

2. Make a plan

Being efficient is important at every level, not just with money, so you should make a plan and keep yourself to it.

You can outline objectives and include achievable targets to be met within three months. These targets can be things like client acquisition goals, revenue milestones, or product launches (depending, obviously, on the type of side hustle you’re scaling.)

Also, as contradictory as it may sound, don’t forget to plan for the unplannable. It's not fun to think about what could go wrong, but this will help you think ahead and address issues before they even pop up.

3. Manage your time efficiently

With no boss looking over your shoulder, it only falls to you to divide your day up in a way that will help you accomplish the most.

One way you can do this is by using time blocks. Separate your day into different blocks and allocate a specific time for each block. A recent Robert Half survey showed that 73% of professionals working at home believe that this style of time management makes them more productive.

If you can, you should also try to designate specific spaces just for work that are separate from where you relax or where you sleep. This will help you create a healthier divide between your time off the clock and your time on it, staving off the burnout that plagues many home workers.

4. Utilize low cost marketing

You don’t want to throw money into the wind, so consider carefully which areas of your business plan you can save on. Marketing can be one of those areas where you can get away with some savings.

Organic social media reach costs nothing but your time. If your side hustle isn't featured on socials, it's time to get on that. Of course, paid ads are also a thing, but first, check your target demographic to make sure you're not barking up the wrong tree.

Tell your social media followers that this is now your full-time job and consider hosting an event or running some sort of a discount. You can have a business launch and make it feel like a celebration for your customers as well as you.

You should also encourage previous clients to give you reviews and testimonials! Everyone loves a success story, so you can show these on social media to attract new clients.

5. Gather repeat business

Take advantage of the fact that you aren’t starting from scratch. Contact previous customers, especially ones that rated your work highly, and explain to them that you’re going full-time. You can even offer previous customers a special introductory rate if they support your business.

Another great way to keep repeat customers coming back is to create a paid (or free) community. Setting up a whop only takes a few minutes, and once you're all set, your customers will have a one-stop shop for all things related to your brand.

6. Raise your rates as you get more experience

One thing that many business owners struggle with are rates. You might be tempted to sell your products or services on the cheap, and even once you're a seasoned entrepreneur, raising your rates is a struggle. Impostor syndrome is real.

Ultimately, setting your rates is an ongoing process that involves scoping out the competition and figuring out how to earn more without working more. Things like bundles or subscriptions can be a stealthy way to increase your rates without being on the nose—after all, your products can still be affordable, and the money adds up over time.

Once you're super experienced, consider launching a high-ticket offer so that you can shift your focus to quality over quantity.

7. Stop working for others and work for yourself

Consider cutting ties with any middleman between you and the client. If you’re working for a platform that assigns you work, this side hustle becomes hard to scale and next to impossible to raise your rates through. Let's not forget that many platforms take a huge chunk out of your earnings.

Instead of working for others, work for yourself. The best and easiest way to do this is to use Whop.

You can set up your own hub in a few minutes and start adding pre-made apps that help you create a fully tailored product or service. You're in charge of your own rates; you decide how little or how much you do; you decide on each product and you scale your business whenever you're ready.

Having this type of freedom is a fantastic step toward running a full-fledged business.

Start your side hustle with Whop

Whop makes starting a side hustle a simple affair. There's no up-front expenditure required, so you can test the waters with your new idea, get feedback on your products, and build an audience without risk of losing money.
