In this article, We will talk about the top 5 side hustles,

That you should try out in 2022.

And remember in this video, we will talk about side hustles.

These are not passive income ideas.

So because they side hustles,

Every day you will need to add effort for 2–3 hours.

But with just the effort of 2–3 hours, you can earn

Thousands of rupees every day.

And all the ideas that I will tell you,

They all are unique.

All of them are genuine.

These are not such ideas

That you need to feed a lot of surveys.

And then you will get money.

All of them are good and hyping ideas.

Which you can do as a student

Or you can do it as a working professional.

So without wasting time,

Let’s move towards our countdown.

But before moving forward,

I want to know from you,

What is your main hustle?

Are you a student or do you do a job?

Or are you a freelancer?

What do you do?

Like I am a software engineer.

And this youtube channel is one of my side hustles.

Like that what do you do?

Do tell me in the comments.

So the first side hustle idea,

This is very unique.

It is a very new idea.

2–3 years back,

I don’t think you could have earned money through it.

And I have hardly seen any Indian creator

Talk about it.

And this is becoming a “ Notion certified consultant”.

So those who don’t know,

The notion is a project management software

Which you can use for personal & business use.

And many productive YouTubers,

Like you must have heard Ali Abdaal talking about the notion.

If you don’t know about the notion,

Then you can click on this “I” button and check it out.

And now the point is,

Now, there are many small businesses & startups

To handle company operations

For internal processes and management,

They need software or a tool.

And for all this work they can use notions.

The notion is a very good software for it.

But the problem here is,

They don’t know how to use the notions properly.

So that can make a customized workspace for themselves.

And this is where notion consultants like you will come in.

Talk to such businessmen and entrepreneurs

Understand their business

Understand their internal process and management.

And once you understand it,

Then make a customized notion workspace for them.

And they will pay you for it.

And now if we see on websites like Upwork or Fiverr

The Indian notion consultancy

For their one-hour service, they are easily earning $50–60.

This means for one hour service

They are easily earning Rs.4000–6000.

And the best part is,

The notion is completely free-to-use software for beginners.

And how you use the notion to the full extent

You can learn this online completely free of cost.

On YouTube or any other platform.

On notion’s website, you can become notion certified consultant

And the best part is,

This certification is completely free of cost.

To become a notion certified consultant

You don’t need to pay anything.

The second side hustle idea is to

Participate in research trials on respondent.io

So respondent.io is a website

Where the world’s big organizations and brands,

Such as Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, SAP, etc.

These all come to conduct their different research studies.

And these research studies require participants like you.

And don’t worry these research studies are not the survey’s

Take this survey form.

Sit for 2–3 hours and fill out the survey.

And in the future you will get Rs.10. It is not like this.

What happens in their research trials?

They conduct one on one interviews with you.

Which are usually for one hour.

And this one-on-one interview,

They will ask you some questions about research topics.

You have to answer them.

And then after this interview,

They will pay you for this.

And the amount you will earn,

That will depend on your profile.

For example, software developer

For one hour average of 200$

This means they will earn Rs.16,000.

On the other hand, if you are from marketing,

Then 150$ dollars

This means approximately you can earn Rs.12000

So sign up on their website, respondent.io

I am adding a link in the description. You can check it out.

There you will get different research studies.

And based on that for which you get qualified

Participate in that,

And in 1 hour you can easily make thousands of rupees

Using respondant.io

And guys you will earn this money,

But keep this thing in mind,

We have to take financially sound decisions.

And on the one side where earning money is important,

Investing that money is also important.

And among you call those who invest in crypto

They must be knowing

Recently in many exchanges,

There was a ban on crypto deposits and withdrawals.

Now you can’t withdraw your coins.

And those exchanges

Holds all control of your cryptocurrencies.

And in this situation, this question comes to mind

Which exchange can you use,

That you can completely trust.

And in which you have full control of deposit & withdrawal.

And at this moment to invest in crypto,

You can use “did exchange.’

And did foundation is also a partner for this video.

And did is a decentralized exchange

It is the second-largest decentralized exchange.

And the best thing about decentralized exchange is

You own your coins.

Recently you must have heard the news,

Many exchanges have stopped their withdrawal.

But this thing doesn’t happen in decentralized exchange.

You connect your wallet over here.

And you can deposit and withdraw anytime.

Nobody can ban this thing.

And if you are interested in crypto trading,

Then did provides you good trading experience & interface

They have many advanced trading options.

You can check that out.

And did has also been backed by reputed investors

Such as Naval Ravikant

A16z, scalar capital and there are many more.

dydx has recently launched its IOS app.

Their android app is also going to come.

So if you want to invest in crypto,

Then I added a link in the description.

From there you can create your account.

Alright so moving on.

The third idea

In this side hustle, I won’t tell you a single idea,

But I am going to tell you about an interesting space.

Which has many ideas to explore.

You can pick anything based on your interest.

And through that, you can create a good side hustle.

And the space that I am talking about,

About that, I have 2–3 times on my channel.

This space is booming for the last 2–3 years.

And even now you are consuming its product.

And this space is content creation.

And in content creation, it does not happen that

Simply someone made content and has posted it.

The content is done. No, it is not like that.

Behind that also there are many behind-the-scenes works.

Many people are involved.

And many skill sets are required.

For example, if I talk about YouTube videos,

Then to make any video, you need lots of research.

For research, you need a separate person.

Then from this research one script is made

For which you need a content writer.

Once you have recorded the video,

Then to edit the video, you need a video editor.

In that maybe many visuals will be used.

For that maybe you will require a visual designer.

You will create a thumbnail.

For that also you need a visual or graphic designer.

Then while posting the video the title that you will write

Or the description that will be added

For that once again you need a content writer.

After that, you will post the video on Youtube

Or on different social media channels.

Then to manage that you need a social media manager.

And in different social media platforms.

You will add content in different formats.

Like on LinkedIn it will be text.

On Twitter, there will be a text.

On Instagram, there can be a graphical post.

Then for all these content writers, graphic designers, etc.

You need them again.

Then you see that in this full content creation space,

To remove one single content,

How many people can be involved?

And by doing this you can become a full-time freelancer.

Or you can pursue it as a side hustle.

For me, this YouTube channel is a side hustle.

My video editor, who is a part of my team

His name is Yash.

You can check out his channel over here.

He also edits videos for me.

Video editing is also his side hustle.

His main hustle I something else.

So you are also in content creation space

Identify such opportunities for yourself.

Upskill yourself.

And create a good side hustle.

And about some of these skills,

I have talked in this video.

So after this check out this video.

So moving on, to the fourth idea

The main skill used in this is already known by you.

It will be different.

It will vary from person to person.

But you know the main thing.

Now, the little thing that you should learn

How to teach this to another person?

And this idea is becoming a language tutor.

So everyone

Must know to speak some language properly & fluently.

It can be Hindi, English

Or it can be your mother tongue.

Bengali, Telegu, Punjabi

Or like me, it can be Kashmiri.

There is some language which all of us can speak.

And we can teach it to the other person.

And now there are many such websites,

Like italky, Preply or Verbling

Where you can register yourself as a language tutor,

You can teach language to people.

For example, if I search the Punjabi language on verbling

Then you can see that,

Tutors over here anywhere between

Rs.500–1000

Are charging for one hour of tuition.

So you can also register yourself on such websites.

Verbling, reply, Italy

I am adding everyone’s link in the description.

You can register on them.

And by being a language tutor,

Anyway between Rs.500–1000

Or more that can be earned as a side hustle.

And apart from this, you can do one more thing,

If you know any regional language,

Let’s say you know Bengali or Punjabi

Then to any Bengali or Punjabi YouTuber or content creator

You can reach out and say,

That I can write subtitles for you in Hindi or English.

Then over here also you can use your language skill.

To create a good side hustle.

By writing subtitles for someone.

And for writing subtitles,

You can earn between Rs.500–1000

For a single 10-minute YouTube video.

So moving on to the fifth idea,

This is not one but two ideas.

And these are unique.

In this sense, you have to do it from home.

And you have to do it by using your house.

And these two ideas are

Renting out your place on Airbnb

Or selling home-cooked food online.

So in India, I have noticed an interesting trend

In many people’s house

There is an extra guest room

We use it obviously when any guest comes.

Or in some people’s house, there are extra floor

Where there are 1–2 extra rooms.

Which are usually not used all the time.

And such extra rooms

You can rent out on platforms or apps like Airbnb.

And every day you can earn between

Rs.1000–2000

And the best part is,

Here you don’t need to any big upfront investment.

You already have this space.

You are already maintaining it.

Already there is full furniture.

Now, you just have to register on such apps.

You have to bring guests and charge them.

Or else what can you do apart from this?

You can sell online home-cooked food.

And the best part about this idea right now is,

Any operations, delivery, marketing, publicity

You don’t need to handle all this.

You just have to make good food.

Because right now there are many online platforms,

Like Ootabox, Masala box, Home food

And there are many other apps,

On which you can register yourself as a chef

You can cook food through them and sell it.

And all the things like delivery, marketing, etc.

Will be handled by them.

And this also once again is such an idea,

Where you don’t need to do any upfront investment.

The kitchen and kitchen utensils are already with you.

You don’t need to keep any chef also.

You are selling your handmade home-cooked food.

So this can also be a good side hustle for you.

Through this, you can easily make it anywhere between

Rs.50,000 to even 1 lakh after a few months

In a single month.

And guys with this we are at the end of this video.
