Join Uber or Lyft and drive people around town with your car. Factor in wear and tear on your vehicle, fuel costs, maintenance, insurance costs and so on before giving it a go.

8. Be a Writer or Copywriter.

Consider writing your own eBooks or Kindle books and putting them up for sale. These short books or guides can be on any topic imaginable from pure fiction to strictly educational.

If being an author doesn’t interest you, then consider being a ghostwriter. Services like HireWriters or Textbroker will pay you to write on a wide variety of subjects and topics. They are the middlemen who can connect you with businesses and companies in need of writers. These two, for example, handle all the payments, disputes and so on, so you can focus on writing while they ensure everything goes smoothly between the two parties.

Beyond basic writing services, copywriting is where the real extra side hustle money is made. It’s not unheard of to see freelance copyrighting professionals earning thousands of dollars per project and upwards. Big brands have been known to shell out five-thousand plus for those really juicy in-depth articles.

9. Transcribe Audio

If you lack creativity but still want to write, then transcribing might be a great side job for you. If you’re not familiar with transcribing, how it works is simple. You listen to a recorded piece of audio and type the words out into a document. To get started with this money making idea, check out a company like TranscribeMe.

10. Be a Freelance Coder or Programmer.

Code websites, desktop applications, excel formulas and beyond in your spare time for extra cash. If freelancing isn’t for you, then code your own app, site or software. Offer the finished product up using a subscription model at a low price (say $5 per month), draw in 100 users and you’re making an extra $500 per month, every month.
