Hey, fellow knowledge seekers,

It's me your friendly The Unfussy Scholar, back once again with another simple money lesson for you.

In my last post, I provided some tips on how you can spend your 13th month's pay, which also includes having fun. For this post, we'll talk about side hustles that you can do in 2024.

It's a dream of many to be able to earn enough money, not only to cover responsibilities but also enough to enjoy life. 

Sadly, that's just a dream for many people since expenses continue to rise while wages remain the same or only have a slight increase.

This is why many people rely on side hustles to increase their income. Some even reach a point where their side hustle makes them more money than their real jobs.

But that's going to be a story for another day. There are plenty of good side hustles available for you to do.

To help you decide, this blog post will list down the 10 best side hustles you can in 2024. These are the side hustles that will still be in demand by the time the new year rolls around.

Let's begin!

1. Freelance Writing

One of the side hustles you can do in 2024 is freelance writing. It's a side hustle that has been in demand for quite a while and will continue to be one in the future.

Whether it's content writing, blog posts, copywriting, or social media captions, there will always be a demand for people who can do these things. They're used for marketing purposes, providing information, advertisements, and a lot of other things.

Even the rise of AI won't lessen the demand. It just modified it, requiring writers to know how to use these AI tools to assist in their writing.

2. Virtual Assistant

Another side hustle that you can consider doing in 2024 is being a virtual assistant. It's a job where you'll do various administrative tasks.

This could include a bit of writing, secretarial work, graphic designing, editing, etc. It will depend on the company or boss you'll be working for.

Like freelance writing, it's already an in-demand job and it will continue to do so. Most companies and individuals continue to outsource many of their office tasks online, so, there will be opportunities.

3. Create and Sell Courses

If you happen to be an expert at something, or at least more knowledgeable than others, then consider creating a course and selling it.

Many people love learning new things and are more than willing to spend some money to become adept at it. So, there will always be a market for good courses that will teach people something new.

There are sites like Udemy where you can put your course for people to find. You can also consider creating a website where people can access your course. It can be a great passive income generator, you just have to market them properly.

4. Create and Sell Items Online

You can also choose to create and sell items online, either on Etsy or on eBay. It doesn't even have to be a physical product.

It can be a digital product like an ebook or printables. What's great about this is that it can also be a source of passive income. 

You don't even have to market it as hard since sites like Etsy and eBay are already known. It's a great way to showcase your creativity and make some money out of it.

5. Online Tutoring

If you happen to be a teacher or at least good at subjects like English, Math, etc., then consider online tutoring. There are lots of kids and even adults who are willing to hire tutors to teach them.

You don't even have to be an expert in these subjects. You need to know more and be good at explaining things.

There are plenty of sites out there where you can join to become a tutor. You can also consider advertising your tutoring service and attract clients on your own. 

6. Blogging / Vlogging

Blogging or vlogging is another side hustle that you can consider doing. It's something that will enable you to make money from your passion.

It doesn't matter what you blog or vlog about. The only important thing here is that you'll be able to attract people to your website.

Of course, that's easier said than done. It will require a bit of patience and work on your part to start making money blogging.

But if you stay consistent with it and not give up prematurely, it can be a rewarding experience. Patience and dedication will be the keys here.

7. Video Editing

Video editing is also a good side hustle to consider. As vlogging becomes more and more popular, there will be lots of people who will look for help in editing their vlogs.

This is where you can come in if you're good at editing videos. And it's not just vloggers, many companies need video editors.

It can be a good side hustle if you're good. Demand for video editors is on the rise yearly, so you can take advantage of that demand.

8. Social Media Influencer

Being a social media influencer is another side hustle you can consider, especially if you love putting yourself out there.

You can make money out of posting things about yourself, and what you do, especially if what you do attracts a lot of audience. Of course, being an influencer is not going to be easy.

It will require time, patience, and a lot of creativity that can attract audiences to your content. You also have to be consistent in posting to make sure your audiences come back regularly.

9. Home-based Food Business

If you love cooking, you can consider opening a home-based food business. Many people enjoy eating at home and instead of cooking they order.

What's great is that companies like Grab and Food Panda made it possible for people to enjoy food from other restaurants, even those without their delivery service.

And you can take advantage of that and put up your home-based food service. You can create wonderful meals or drinks and have them delivered to your customers through the delivery services.

10. Social Media Manager/Specialist

Finally, we have the social media manager. It's already in demand, especially with the number of influencers and companies relying more on social media.

And it will continue to be in demand as long as social media continues to be something that many people are interested in.

As a social media manager, you will not only manage people's accounts but also probably help them make them more engaging and attractive. 

There are many more side hustles that you can do in 2024. There are plenty of opportunities available out there that will help you make more money.

But the ones mentioned above are the ones that will continue to be in demand in 2024.
