Inflation is skyrocketing, so it would be a really practical thing to have a side hustle— which would allow you to achieve your goals faster.
Imagine that you are surrounded by the majestic turquoise-colored ocean water while carrying an ice-cold drink in your hands. After that, imagine that you are glued to a cubicle, working until your hair turns gray. How do you feel about both scenarios?
You probably wouldn’t want to experience the second scenario. However, if you don’t get these side hustles that we are going to talk about here, there’s a big chance that you’ll end up living it as your reality.
According to studies, 65 self-made millionaires possess at least three income streams, about 35 have four, and 29 have five or more.
You’re lucky to come across this article because we are going to talk about unique ideas— that have never been talked about before— on how you can make money this 2022.
1. Pimp My Pride
Would you believe us if we told you that you could make $1,000 even without even lifting a finger? Or perhaps, just a couple of finger lifts.
However, this side hustle would require you to have a car. No worries, though! Even though you don’t have a car right now, you can get a free car out of this side hustle.
You can think of this side hustle as an Airbnb for cars. Basically, you just put out a car on a marketplace and rent it out to other people for days.
You can post your listing on Turo, which is a peer-to-peer car-sharing enterprise that is based in San Francisco. Through this platform, private car owners are able to make money by merely letting others use their vehicles.
Of course, before lending your vehicle, you need to make sure that you have removed all the moldy, dirty stuff in your car. The entire process of making money at this point is completely automated, so you won’t even need to meet the renter physically.
Now, how can you get your free car?
Based on Turo’s statistics, the highest earning vehicle on their site is a Jeep Wrangler. Calculating how in demand a Wrangler is, it would only take about five renting days to cover the monthly payment. Anything beyond five days is your clean earnings.
2. Rent Yourself Out
If renting your precious car seems a bit scary for you, how about renting yourself out?
Many studies have shown that Millenials and Gen Z are the most lonesome generation to date. Although the online world that the internet gave is truly splendid, it also has a downside— it has become more difficult to form relationships in the real world.
There are a lot of websites right now where people rent out people to join them in an event they want to go to, explore a new city, dine in a well-known restaurant, and just have someone to talk to. Basically, you’ll be doing a role of a good friend, and the only thing that’s different is that someone will pay you for it.
Similar to the first one, all you have to do is to list yourself on a renting platform. You would need to give out some information like the city you live in, your hobbies, and your availability for people to see.
This job is perfect for everyone, especially for those who aren’t good at anything, since there would be no skills required.
Some people are earning a hefty $90,000 a year for this side hustle— this figure varies upon your popularity and hourly rate, though. Aside from this enormous paycheck, they also get free food and other free stuff.
However, if you find this side gig interesting and want to try it out, you should also be wary of the people you meet since some renting platform does not perform a background check. Don’t forget to take some safety precautions.
3. The Manager
Although the term “manager” sounds so professional and intimidating, this side hustle that is waiting for you actually isn’t. In fact, anyone would qualify for this job if they could navigate social media.
Being a manager is a gold-mine opportunity because a lot of old folks and business owners out there who aren’t so familiar with this new virtual space need someone to help them go after big guns like Facebook and Google.
To get started with this side hustle, all you have to do is to open Google Maps to check out online businesses in a particular area. After that, visit and check their website if they need some help in online marketing. Look for websites that do not have social media presence at all or businesses that have social media presence but aren’t good ones.
Give these people a call on how you can help them drive more customers into their business and how you can bring more revenue into their brand.
4. It’s All in the Name
Not many are aware of this, but domain names are hot commodities in today’s modern-centric world. It offers a unique for investors to invest in domain names that can be sold for a profit somewhere in the future.
It’s pretty easy to get started with this side hustle, and it costs nearly nothing. All you need to do is to come up with a unique name like “books.com” or “finance.com,” which some businesses would want. Look into Google Domains if the domain name is already taken, and if it is, just add it to the cart and check it out.
Once it’s in your possession, other people can buy it from you if they take an interest in the domain that you’ve come up with.
5. Malcolm In The Middle
Some influencers completely run their business alone, doing everything from booking sponsorships to marketing and branding. Doing these things all alone surely takes a lot of hard work.
If you think you have a skill in communication and management, you could be the person that these influencers badly need. You can reach out to influencers and tell them that you can handle everything and get the work done, from the brand deal to negotiating to the facilitation of the entire partnership.
