Top 5 Side Hustle To Earn Extra Income From Home 2025

 hi everyone welcome back to the channel in this  video I'm going to go over five different ways   you can make money online and for each of these  I'm going to cover how hard it is to get started   and how hard it is to maintain alongside your day  job all of these five streams of income are ones   that I've either done myself I've paid someone  to do it or I've included examples of people   that have done it and are making thousands a  month from it I'm not including any which I   wouldn't be willing to do myself so this is the  video that I wish I watched when I first started 

 my journey to achieving Financial Freedom let's  get into it number one is newsletters this is   an old idea but over the last couple of years  it has massively come back in the scene and I   almost feel like it's the new Vlog there are a  few main reasons for a lot of people doing this   now firstly there are Services making it super  easy to start a newsletter like substack for   example where you could start your own newsletter  at zero cost that's the platform that I use for my   bi-weekly newsletter and it's completely free  second reason it's blown up is because people 

are realizing that social media is renting land  with one change in algorithm you could lose all   visibility team with your audience everything you  own belongs to the social media platform whether   it's tick tock whether it's YouTube whether it's  Instagram and so newsletters are a really good way   of taking your audience off of these platforms and  instead of being the renter being the landlord and   the third reason is because you can make a lot  of money without even having to put your face 

on anything one of the most popular newsletters  today is called morning brew and it brings you the   Daily News in a really digestible and entertaining  manner morning brew has over 4 million subscribers   and last year in 2021 the newsletter company  generated over 50 million dollars in Revenue   the majority of that Revenue came from sponsored  ads and affiliate links and the way morning Brew   grew so big was purely through Word of Mouth  endorsement and their referral scheme in terms   of getting started I would give this a one out  of five it is super easy to get started type of 

sentences or two and just send it out I think to  grow it it's a bit more difficult if you don't   already have an audience because if that is the  case then you'll be relying heavily on Word of   Mouth so in terms of Maintenance I would give  this a three out of five because you would be   spending a lot time to promote number two is  selling a digital product these are products   that you create online you create it once like an  ebook a download an app or something like that and   then you create once and then you can sell it  multiple times and there is a guy called easel 

uh you can check them out on Twitter and this guy  essentially just shares how to be more productive   and get more out of notion which if you haven't  heard of it it's an online note-taking platform   he shares tips and tricks and creates his own  templates and in the first nine months of this   year alone he made over two hundred thousand  dollars just through selling templates and   I've seen a lot of other content creators also  catch on to this recently with starting their   own templates and information workflow setups and  it just goes to show that just because one person 

 has done it it doesn't stop anyone else from  doing it and creating it with their own spin   or their own style and as with anything online  there is no cap in the audience and there is no   limit so how hard is this to get started I will  give this one out of five in terms of difficulty   unlike physical products where you have to buy  the equipment buy the fabric by the material   there is no upfront cost with starting a  digital template what you do need however   is to sell something that can add some sort of  value to other people and that there is demand 

 for so if you can identify a problem or a gap in  the market and use your existing skills or learn   new skills to close that Gap in terms of ongoing  maintenance I would give this a one out of five   once you've got it started up and running there  is very little you need to do to maintain it from   there number three is video editing on one side  a lot of content creators advice on Outsourcing   editing and that you can do this really cheap  and I don't know if it's just me but getting   a good reliable editor is expensive and there is  a big shortage of high quality ones for a lot of 

content creators the editing part is the first  thing that they Outsource and when you approach   experienced editors on freelance service websites  like Fiverr or like upwork they're charging more   than 100 to edit a 10 minute video so if you want  to make some solid cash this is definitely a good   way to go if you're starting out I'd recommend  to price competitively as your selling point to   attract new customers and then once you've got  in the reviews you've got the recommendations   you can then scale it bigger to thousands of  dollars in terms of how hard this is I would give 

 it a two it's pretty easy to learn how to edit if  I can edit literally anyone could edit but before   I started this YouTube channel I didn't know  a thing about Final Cut Pro or adobe but there   is an abundance of free information online and I  personally learned how to edit through skillshare   and it taught me everything that I need to know to  get started you can get 30 days free on skillshare   using my link below and to be honest you can just  sign up use the free trial watch the course and 

 cancel it if you don't want to keep it I probably  should be saying that but in terms of Maintenance   I would give this a thought although it can  be very very lucrative it is something that   requires trading your time for money and a lot  of your time for money so if you are doing this   alongside your nine-to-five job then this is  something you'd want to consider number four   is a SAS business SAS stands for software as a  service and it's a way of delivering applications   over the internet as a service there are so many  people making money online through this and you 

 won't even realize that or you won't even know  it because most of these people don't have an   audience and that's one of the best things about  it an example of this is a website called Nomad   list it lets people find the best places to go to  and to work on based on what their preferences are   whether it's like good weather cost of living a  safety internet speed and the owner who created   SP to levels who also created a complimentary  website called remoteok. 

 com which is essentially   just a job board which posts remote jobs that are  available and these two SAS businesses alone make   him 2.7 million dollars a year and he has zero  employees he even posted online he said I have   no funding I have no debt I have no employees  just revenue and profit margins are somewhere   between 80 and 90 so in terms of getting started  I'll probably give this a forward it's more of an   idea that you have to come up with so it might  take a bit of throwing specially at the wall   and seeing what sticks but in terms of Maintenance  I'll give this a lot once it's up and running the 

 services can be very self-sufficient and most of  the work the coding the designing is all done up   front five create an online course this is kind of  like a digital product but it's in a video format   so in terms of getting started I would give this  a two out of five it's not hard to make an online   course but you do need to have basic skills  and like communication speaking to camera and   generally having a skill or a knowledge that you  can teach others about and the only reason people   will really pay for it is if it's actually good  and there's value that they're getting out of it 

but the world of online education has exploded  there is so much money being pumped into the   space so if you have a valuable skill that you  could teach this is probably one of the most   rewarding ways to make money online it's a way  that you can use your strengths to teach and add   value to others you can also make money without  having to charge people directly for your course   using a platform again like skillshare this isn't  sponsored I actually use their premium membership   I think it's a really great place to learn stuff  I have thousands of courses on thousands of 

 different topics and anyone can teach things on  skillshare without having an audience anyone can   upload a class to the site and the way it works  is you get paid based on the amount of time that   someone watches your video so if you already have  an audience then that's even better you have an   audience that know you they like you they trust  you and they'll go to skillshare specifically   to watch your class but even if you don't have an  audience if your class is really good and you're   getting good reviews for it people are watching  it then skillshare has its own algorithm so if you 

 make a really good class that people watch a lot  and it has good ratings good reviews then it will   just rise to the Top by itself and it will come up  in the skillshare homepage or it will be the first   some people search for it on their website they  say that the top teachers are earning more than   a hundred grand per year on the platform in terms  of Maintenance when you've made the course that's   it you're done you just let it run so in terms of  Maintenance I would give this a one out of five 

 I see a lot of people try something new and they  give up before giving it a real chance and that's   because it's human nature to expect instant  gratification and reward for doing something   I mean that's the way we've been conditioned  through school to expect immediate results but   studies show that this act of expecting immediate  success can actually stop you from achieving your   goals because you just keep abandoning projects  halfway through you don't actually see the project   through a lot of the streams that I've mentioned  are passive income streams and passive income 

 isn't about overnight success it's about  putting in the hard work now to reap the   benefits later on so that that's it from me guys  I hope you enjoyed this one if you liked it I've   got another video here which you might enjoy  on millionaire habits hopefully see you there
