Should you start a side hustle in 2022?… 4 ideas to start

As the year 2021 is coming to an end I would advise you to start 2022 in the best possible way. One suggestion I give you is to build your own side hustle, the time couldn’t be more perfect. I wouldn’t think of it as a moneymaker, if you wanna start, do it for fun. Start a blog about your favorite topic(ex: fashion, cars, sports, traveling), grow a social media page, build your online course, start freelance writing.

Start a Blog

If you are interested in long-term online side business games, a blog may be a good choice. If you have a strategic vision, opening a blog is likely to bring a steady stream of cash.

Profitable bloggers use various methods to generate income. From affiliate marketing and advertising to paid partnerships and products, there are plenty of opportunities to make it a profitable sideline. The key is to build a solid brand that your audience can connect with and trust.

Blogging is easy to balance with the full-time workload because you can create content in advance and schedule it to go online at the time you want. It may earn you hundreds or thousands of dollars a month, depending on the work you put in. The best news is that the blog is very easy to access. The internet is full of easy-to-access guides that can help you build your first blog.

Social media

Social media is a great way to start your business. But creating a well-planned social media feed takes a lot of time, and there are many businesses, big or small, that need some help in this regard.

Whether you are passionate about Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Tik Tok, Facebook or, anything else, there are always people looking for content creators. Why not create content as your side business? The best part of creating social media content is that, in most cases, it can be created and scheduled in advance. This means that if you happen to have three hours on Sunday, and your customers need Facebook content throughout the week, you can make and schedule it in advance.

This is a great side business for those who can create compelling visual and written micro-content and understand the way they choose the social platform. There are many opportunities in this area, whether on platforms such as Upwork or through private contracts.

Online courses

Creating your own online courses may be the perfect solution for you . The beauty of teaching your own online courses is that you can focus on topics that you like and are experts.

You will be pleasantly surprised by successful online courses that are not always “how to grow your business” courses you would expect. Knitting, yoga, travel, and lifestyle themes are all fair games. The real gold of running an online course business lies in your enthusiasm and knowledge of the subject and your strategy when promoting it.

For those who want to work when they can and want to work, this is an ideal sideline because it is a once and for all model. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can create a course and continue to promote it to future customers.

Freelance writing

Freelance writers are those who write for various platforms on a contract basis, from companies and blogs to news media, depending on the niche they specialize in.

The unique thing about freelance writing is that although many people use it as a full-time job, many people do it to increase their income. Some writers even choose to focus on specific works of their full-time work to help complement their resumes.

Freelance writing is a great opportunity for those who like to write, are good at writing, and are deadline-oriented. Start-up costs are quite low, and you have the opportunity to arrange your own time and work in your free time. In most cases, you only have a deadline for delivering content, and before that, you can work freely when you need it.

Hope you are liking the content I’m making, if you decide to start your new side hustle tell me how it went. I would love to know it turned out.
