Looking for a quick and easy way to make money in 2024 and boost your salary?
While it is not possible to legitimately get rich quick—and you should always steer clear from sites that suggest or claim that you can—some side hustles enable you to make money relatively faster than others, due to them taking a shorter length of time to set up and get running.
If you have worked in any of these fields before, have done one of these hustles as a hobby, or have mastered a specific skill, these side hustles will naturally come easy to you and it will be easier to make money from home through them, because they already lie within your expertise.
What makes it even easier is that you can market these side hustles to a wider audience online than you could through in-person advertising or word-of-mouth, which works perfectly well and is flexible enough for you if you are squeezing your side hustles around your full-time job.
Here are a few side hustles that enable you to make money from home and online, earning as little as $30 an hour in 2024:
1. Financial Coach/Financial Advisor
Do you have experience in providing advice to people to help them clear their debts? Perhaps you have run a business or several businesses for many years and have had to manage your personal finances on your own, so know a thing or two about financial well-being, or maybe you worked within the finance industry and have a strong hold on numbers, and want to use your knowledge and expertise to help people.
You can then offer your services as a freelance financial coach or advisor, where you help people change their money habits, achieve their financial goals, discover new streams of income (as you already are), and find solutions to clear the debt.
Personal finance coaches can make between $200 to $400 an hour.
2. Freelance Technical Writer
If you enjoy decoding complex concepts, perhaps turning to technical writing as a side hustle in your spare time would be perfect for you. Freelance technical writers can make up to $50 an hour, and are able to work in tech, compliance, and even medical technical writing (if you have a medical degree and experience).
With this side hustle, you have the potential to make around $38.94 an hour according to ZipRecruiter, and as much as $150 an hour as a top-tier writer.
3. Car Detailing
If you are more hands-on and have a knack for mechanics and design, you might enjoy car detailing as a side hustle. Car detailing is when you make cosmetic improvements to a vehicle's interior and exterior, including polishing, upholstery, and coating. You can even take it further to add bespoke designs to the car's exterior.
Car detailers can expect to make between $17 to $34 an hour, and you can easily do this on the weekends.
These services can all be advertised online through social media platforms, LinkedIn Services, Upwork, Fiverr, and niche freelance websites.
Ultimately, whichever side hustle you choose, remember to follow your passion, pick something you already enjoy or are good at, and push your skill development so you can be in the fortunate position to be able to charge more.
