No category of money-making projects is inherently better or worse than any others. We want you to find something that you’re passionate about, so the journey can be enjoyable.
Without any further due, check the list out.
Become a Life Coach
Whether to meet some personal goals or fulfill business goals, more and more people realize they can’t go it alone. They want help, and they’re looking to private coaches to get it done. The coaching business has been in high demand for the past couple of years, and it seems like it might be for a while. You can charge a fee to help people with life and business obstacles. Get paid and provide a beneficial service to people in need. That’s what you call a win-win
Photography
Photography is one of those things that will be around a while; A skill that everyone can use today, especially for us media people. Find yourself a niche and focus on that niche; it could be business pictures, weddings, family, or more. You can make a few hundred to $5,000 a month doing this.
YouTube
Nowadays, kids are making money on youTube, and you can do it too. You might already know something that could be earning you cash on youTube; put up a youtube page and press record. YouTube is now a search engine, just like Google. People go to YouTube and learn about anything and everything. All you need to do is start posting videos, get traffic, and YouTube will pay you a portion of the advertising income.
Blogging
If you wonder if blogging is still worth it or if people are reading blogs in 2021, the answer is yes.
People are still reading blogs in 2021 and will continue to read them for a long time; blogs are still relevant for all types of businesses.

Fitness Trainer
In case you haven’t noticed, the world is changing, and self-care is trending more than ever before. People are looking for help on ways to get fit and the proper workout to do. This is in high demand right now. If you’re like helping, teaching, coaching, and you like to exercise, this is an opportunity to consider.
Jewelry Making
I used to make beaded jewelry with my daughter years ago, and it was so much fun not only making the stuff but also selling them to friends and family. We made beaded bracelets, bookmarks, and many more. Here are some pictures of the stuff we made. If you’re considering getting into this business, you need patience and passion.
Event Planning
Whether working for an event-planning company or someone planning their kid’s party, they need help. As an event planner, you ensure everything related to an event is taken care of, from idea conception, preparations, and day-of logistics. Charged with creating experiences and bringing visions to life, you will be juggling many tasks. Scouting locations, soliciting bids, managing vendor relationships and client communications, developing and negotiating contracts, and managing budgets are typical of the event planner role.
Social Media Marketing
Be a social media marketer and help create brand awareness for businesses and influencers. This is a big trend and money opportunity today. If you are a stay-at-home parent, you can work entirely online. Companies such as doctors’ offices are looking to get into the world of social media to stay relevant, and you can help them do that.
Rent a Room on Airbnb
If you have extra space in your home you’re not using; you can now rent them out. People stay over friends to rent their space for extra cash every month. Decide what you’re willing to use, post it as a place for a traveler to crash. You can set the pricing, and you can approve the renter. Some people give guests access to the entire house while they’re away on a trip. Others do this all the time with just one room. Now you can too.
As you can see, there are many options here for those of us looking to increase cash flow. For even more ways, check out this post on ways to earn cash on your phone or online. Read more

This is a great post photography is actually something I am looking into this year
Love your ideas! I think everyone should start a side hustle, it changes a routine and you get to do something you love!
I love that these are all organic side hustles and doesn’t really involve unrealistic ideas for beginners that are very new to making a small business x Thanks for sharing this!
I wish I had an extra room to rent! ;P So far, I have my usual 9-5 job and I sell pictures online. But I literally put on Etsy my very first creation and I’m looking forward to seeing if anyone buys it! 😀 Exciting
Congrats on posting your first item on Etsy! That’s amazing. Wishing you success in 2022. You already took the leap of faith, amazing.
Great ideas! I love that they are ideas that don’t require degrees and that anyone could pursue.
Degrees (some) are overrated, in my opinion; everything I know about blogging, photography, website design I have learned online. So, yes, these ideas are good for us without time to go to college. Thanks for stopping by, Nicole 🙂
Great ideas. I found this post very, very helpful and am excited to look more into these ideas in 2022.
Thank you, Melissa, glad you found them helpful. Love your blog about parenting. I was a homeschooled mama for seven years; I loved it.
Love all these ideas! I also started a blog but haven’t seen any money from it yet lol. Photography is also something I’d like to dabble in. Great post
Making money from blogging is very likely but not as easy as everyone wants you to believe. It requires a lot of work in the beginning, setting things up. It’s a business just like every other; the result will come if we put in the work 🙂
So many great ways to make extra money
These are great ideas! We all can use different ways to make a little more money when we have the time in our lives, and these are unique ideas that a wide range of people can do. Thanks for the great tips!
Thanks for all the great suggestions. Having a side hustle is always a great financial help. I just started my blog about fitness, nutrition, and a healthy mindset: https://www.thrivewhilesmiling.com
Congrats on starting your blog. That’s a huge deal. May 2022 be a year of great success
This is an informative and insightful post. You took your time to research the topic and that’s quite remarkable!
Side hustles are a great way to boost your income. Dog walking and building flat pack furniture are two side hustles I’ve made money from in the past.
Yes! Especially for people who love animals, dog walking can be a great way to make income. Flat pack furniture is new to me. thanks for sharing
These are great ideas for starting a side business. I’m a big believer in having more than one income. Currently, I’m working on getting my Etsy printable business up and going.
