The 25 Best Remote Side Hustles to Make Money From Home

What are the best remote side hustles to make extra money from home?

Here’s a crazy stat: 58% of workers already have a job they can do from home — at least part of the time. That means there’s never been a better time to pick up a remote side hustle.

And there are tons of options to choose from!

In this post, I’ll break down my top picks based on:

Almost 20 years of making money online (and working from home full-time since 2008)
100s of interviews with remote side hustlers
The potential earning power of each one

Ready? Let’s do it!

1. FlexJobs

Your easiest remote side hustle option may be to pick up some flexible, part-time work.

This is where FlexJobs comes in — it’s the leading work from home jobs site.

With over 50 career categories, FlexJobs has jobs ranging from entry-level to executive and freelance to full-time.

They charge a nominal monthly fee to access their listings, but you’ll easily earn that back and then some with one job.

When I filtered to only part-time positions, I found over 1,000 remote jobs!

2. Remote Bookkeeping

If you have an accounting background—or are just good with numbers—this might be a good fit.

Why? Bookkeeping is often one of the first roles new companies hire for, and can easily be done from home.

For example, Kate Johnson reported earning $60 an hour or more with her virtual bookkeeping business.

Here’s a free training on how to get started.

3. Freelance Writing

Freelance writing is a fantastic side hustle — you can use skills you already have and just need one client to get started.

In the past, I got paid to write articles on creative ways to save money at Starbucks, or to summarize and re-purpose some of my podcast interviews. I made around $75 an article from home, but have paid freelance writers anywhere from $10 to $500+ to help me create content.

Where can you find work? Here are some resources to check out:

ProBlogger – A free remote jobs search site specifically for freelance writers.
BloggingPro – A free job board that is updated daily with paid blogging jobs, blog writing jobs, and freelance writing jobs.
Freelance Writing Jobs – A list of paid freelance writing and writing-related jobs that are hand-picked from various job sites, classified ads, and company websites. 
Online Writing Jobs – Freelance writing jobs for website content in various industries. Join for free. Required to submit an application and a writing sample. Pay varies per project but ranges from $15 – $50.

4. Virtual Assistant Service

There’s a growing demand for work-from-home administrative support professionals, or virtual assistants. Virtual assistants have been around since the dawn of the Internet, but the industry has really exploded over the last several years.

To find VA work, you’ve got a couple options.

The first is to get onboard with an established VA agency, like BELAY Solutions. But the pool of applicants is always deeper than the demand, so these companies are notoriously hard to get accepted to. (Most brag about only hiring the top 1-3% of candidates — and even then, may only pay $12-16 an hour.)

The other option is to set up shop as your own virtual assistant business. My friend Abbey Ashley, who started her VA business on the side, put together a free training that shares:

Where to find thousands of potential clients.
How to make a full-time living working from home.
What clients are really looking for in a VA. (hint: it’s not prior VA experience)

5. Web Design Service

You might be surprised, but many businesses have a really outdated-looking site — or they don’t have one at all.

Thankfully, web design is a learnable skill, and can still has great earning power.

My advice: pick a niche to specialize in, and become the go-to provider for businesses in that space.

For example, Ryan Golgosky from 180sites.com primarily builds sites for pressure washing companies. (Really!) When we spoke, he shared how this strategy — and a unique pricing plan — built his web design business to $100,000 a month.

6. Build a Helpful Website

While building websites for clients is a great remote side hustle, it may be even better to build one for yourself.

Now to be totally upfront, there’s a lot to learn to make this business work, but when it does, it can be extremely lucrative.

For example:

Scott earns 6-figures a year from his bird-watching blog
Shelley earns $50k a month from her travel blogs
Andrew earned over $1.2M from his gift ideas site

Their sites are monetized with advertising and affiliate partnerships, which scale as your traffic increases.

Want to start a blog of your own? Check out my free 6-part video course on how to start your own site.

Pros:

Low startup costs

Great long-term earning power

Can sell the business down the road

Cons:

Slow to see results

Lots of skills to learn

7. Start a YouTube Channel

Another way to make money from home is by posting content on YouTube.

Once you’ve built up a following, you can monetize your videos with Youtube’s built-in ad platform.

Lately I’ve been earning around $500 a month from my YouTube channel, but some some YouTubers make millions from their content!

To get started, I’d recommend choosing a niche and creating “question and answer” content. Examples might include:

how to do _______?
what are the best ______?
how does _______ work?

Those types of videos give a new channel the best chance of ranking in YouTube’s search to start getting views.

8. Self-Publishing

Self-publishing on Amazon is one of my longest-running remote side hustles. I started in 2012 and still remember the thrill of receiving my first author royalty direct deposit.

(It was something like $46.42!)

I’ve added several more books to my portfolio since then and consistently earn a few hundred dollars a month.

One of my books is actually free on Kindle if you want to check it out:

9. Focus Groups and Surveys

While online surveys won’t make you rich, they’re definitely an easy way to make extra money. If you’ve got time to kill while waiting for the subway or watching TV, here are some options to check out:

Swagbucks – Earn up to $35 a survey with this mega-popular app, and get a $10 bonus just for signing up!
Survey Junkie – Earn up to $40 a month and cash out beginning at just $5.
InboxDollars – Get a $5 bonus just for signing up!
Branded Surveys – One of the best-rated survey sites with millions paid out.
Pinecone Research – Earn $3 for each 15-20 minute survey. They’ll send you a $3 check after your first one.
American Consumer Opinion – Join millions of free members and earn up to $50 per survey.
YouGov – Long-running survey panel, with data often cited in the media.

The better-paying option is to get matched up with paid research studies and remote focus groups through companies like User Interviews. 

Here, the average payouts are $50-200 an hour, and new studies are added all the time.

The downside is they usually pay via Amazon gift cards instead of cash. Check out our full User Interviews review to learn more — I’ve earned $105 so far, in about an hour and a half.

10. Remote Real Estate Investing

You might not think of being a landlord as being a work from home side hustle, but there are ways to get it done.

For example, my friend Dustin Heiner manages his portfolio of rental properties from several states away. He just has a team of property managers and contractors “on the ground” to help out should the need arise.

Alternatively, you might take a look at a platform like Arrived, which lets you invest in cash-flowing rentals for as little as $100.

The company pools money to buy rental properties, manages them, and then distributes the cash flow every month.

11. Test Websites

As a website tester, you record your computer screen and your voice as you use a certain site or app. You may also need to write survey responses as part of the job or use a webcam.

Essentially, you’re giving your opinion about the usability of a website or app with the goal of improving the user experience. You discuss your likes and dislikes, suggest improvements, and discuss any difficulties you have with the site or app.

Learn more about remote website testing jobs at these sites:

User Testing – Rewards vary based on the assignment, but average in the $20-30/hour range.
TestingTime – Earn up to $65 per every 30-90 minute study.
Trymata – Earn $5-30 per test.

12. Sell Printables and Spreadsheet Templates

One of the most interesting remote side hustles I’ve come across is selling printables.

These are digital files you upload to a marketplace like Etsy. Think:

budget templates
chore charts
habit trackers
meal planners
intake forms
wall art
and more 

And the best part? When someone orders, the file delivery happens automatically.

On The Side Hustle Show, Rachel Jones explained how she earned $10,000 a month from her portfolio of printables.

If you have an eye for design and can be quick to act on trends, you could capture lots of customers.

Similarly, Emily McDermott built a cool remote side hustle selling spreadsheets on Etsy. She specializes in budgeting templates, and has sold over $250,000 worth of them!

13. Voice Over Acting

Could you get paid to talk? Doing voice overs is another way to earn money working from home.

You’ll need a quiet home studio with a good microphone and a computer with audio editing software. Rates range depending on the client and your experience, but can be anywhere from $10 to $10,000!

For example, Dom and Nicole Draper reported earning $4,000 a month with their voice over acting business.

Here are some places to get started:

Voice.com – Get matched with remote voice over job opportunities. 
Voice123.com – A leading platform to find voice over work.

14. Transcription and Captioning

Sites like Rev.com pay you to transcribe audio or video clips.

Members of Side Hustle Nation report earning anywhere from $5-12 an hour doing this. (Fast freelance transcriptionists can earn more though; as this free mini-course explains.)

To make this work, you need fast and accurate typing skills, and excellent language skills. 

15. Customer Service (Non-Phone)

Live chat customer support is a common part-time work from home job.

Naturally, you’ll need to be a fast typist and proficient in English. Hours vary on the company and job, but often range from $8-20 an hour.

Check out sites like FlexJobs and Arise for current job postings.

16. Editing and Proofreading

One of my early remote side hustles was editing and proofreading non-fiction books for self-published authors. I found clients through Fiverr, Facebook groups for authors, a self-publishing training program, and word of mouth.

My rates were generally between $0.01 and $0.02 per word, which worked out to around $30 an hour.

If you don’t want to stress about finding clients on your own, here are some companies that offer remote editing and proofreading jobs:

Edit 911 – Edit dissertations, theses, and books. This one requires extensive experience, education, and accomplishments.
Enago – Edit academic papers from a wide range of subject areas.
ProofreadingPal.com – Proofread and edit of all types of documents, from academic and business to books and resumes. Top editors earn $500 to $3000 a month. 
ProofreadingServices.com – Full-time and part-time proofreading remote jobs, with pay from $19-46/hr. Accepts applicants from all countries.
Scribendi – Enjoy more of a community feel since this freelance editing job includes working with other staff members. Payment varies per project. 
Wordvice – Part-time editor positions. The workload fluctuates seasonally. Graduate degree required.

17. Graphic Design

There are lots of ways to make money from home as a graphic designer. 

For example, you could create print on demand products to sell on Amazon, Etsy, or Redbubble. 

You could take on client work, or even start a graphic design agency.

One great place to look for remote graphic design jobs is SolidGigs — a hand-curated list of freelance jobs updated daily.

The team at SolidGigs combs through dozens of freelance job boards every weekday and posts the top 1% of jobs to their freelance job stream.

Their design category is definitely one of the best and most active on the site.

They also have a growing library of great resources—courses, templates, interviews, scripts—for helping you actually get the gig.

Side Hustle Nation readers can try SolidGigs for just $2 by clicking here.

18. Microtasking/Micro Jobs

Microtasking is getting paid to perform brief online tasks from home. Some examples are data entry, creating product descriptions, research, surveys, and copy editing.

You decide which tasks you want to tackle and when. These don’t pay particularly well, but the results can add up if you don’t have anything better to do.

In fact, one reader reported earning over $50,000 on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk.

Here are some other microtasking sites:

ClixSense – Get paid to do simple online tasks.
Clickworker – Earnings vary based on the task.
Appen – Help companies train, test, and tune their machine learning and artificial intelligence programs. 

19. Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing and management are popular work from home side hustles.

Your responsibilities might include:

Creating social media content/posts (text, images, videos)
Increasing followers/growing a community
Managing social media engagement and conversations
Moderating online communities
Commenting on social posts
Curating relevant content
Scheduling content in online tools like Buffer or Hootsuite
Running ads and campaigns
Increasing brand awareness
Generating leads

On The Side Hustle Show, Brien Gearin shared how began landing $1500/mo clients to manage their Facebook ads campaigns.

20. Tutoring

Tutoring is a terrific way to take your knowledge and share it with others. Plus, it can be done remotely over Facetime or Zoom. 

For example, Matt Fuentes transitioned his in-person tutoring business to online, and makes around $1000 extra a week.

Here are online tutoring platforms to help you connect with students:

Cambly – Earn $10-12/hr teaching English online.
Skooli.com – Online tutoring jobs for professional teachers and subject-area experts. Pay is $25 an hour.
Wyzant – Set up your profile to get discovered by students. No teaching certification required.

21. Teach an Online Class

While one-to-one tutoring can be rewarding and even pretty lucrative, it’s still trading time for money. One side hustle with a little more scale is to teach an online group class through a platform like Outschool.

The peer-to-peer education marketplace focuses on students ages 3-18, and has courses on nearly every topic imaginable. On The Side Hustle Show, Jade Weatherington shared how she was earning $10,000 a month on the platform, primarily teaching middle school English writing classes.

I even connected with an Outschool teacher with a series of popular video game classes!

22. Academic Scoring

You can earn money from home scoring or rating student essays, tests, or exams.

For example, Educational Testing Service (ETS) hires online, work from home “Raters” to score Advanced Placement tests.

Typical rates range from $10-20 an hour. Your hours may be flexible, but the work is seasonal and there are usually deadlines for completing the scores.

23. Data Entry

Data entry is a common work from home job, but the pay isn’t great — around $12 an hour on average. 

The only reason I’m including it in this list is because some people find satisfaction in this type of work.

One potential place to look is SigTrack, a service that helps check petition signatures against voter databases to see if they match. Demand is highest during election seasons, and you get paid based on accuracy. 

24. Translation

If you’re bilingual, consider a work from home job as a translator.

You’ll need good grammar skills, cultural knowledge, conversational competence, and the ability to articulate complex concepts.

Fast, accurate typing skills and a quiet environment will make your job go faster, which increases your earning potential.

Check out these remote translation job sites:

Gengo – Rates vary based on language.
Multilingual Connections – Freelance, remote translation projects. 
Translation Services – This company offers translation services in more than 100 languages. At press time, part-time and full-time remote positions were available with competitive pay and flexible hours.
Stepes – An online database of on-demand translation jobs for freelance translators. You can work from your smartphone with their mobile messaging based translation model. 
Unbabel – Work on the go and get paid weekly.

25. Online Arbitrage

With online arbitrage, you buy inventory from one website to resell on another (usually Amazon). It’s amazing to me that this is a thing, but it very much is.

When I sat down with Chris Grant, he described selling $75,000 worth of products in a typical month! 

Online arbitrage is a beginner-friendly remote side hustle because you can start with any level of inventory investment you’re comfortable with, and scale up as you learn more and see results.

House Hacking 101: Live Free and Turn Your Biggest Expense into a Profit Center

What if you could make your rent or mortgage payment go away?

Or, what if instead of paying that expense every month, your living situation actually paid you?

It’s not as far-fetched as it may sound.

In fact, that’s exactly what today’s guest, Craig Curelop, has done by intentionally “house hacking” over the past few years.

He’s even written a book on the topic, and it’s one I wish I’d had when I was 18 or 19! I would have definitely done some things differently.

The basic idea is to use other people’s rents to offset, or even profit from your own housing costs. On top of that, you’ll begin building wealth through real estate and earn tax benefits as well.

If you have a spare room or two in your home, or you’re interested in house hacking, this episode is going to get the gears turning for you.

Tune in as Craig runs through some examples of how you can do this. Whether you’re a young professional, or you have a family of your own, you can offset some or all of your mortgage payments.

But keep in mind, this isn’t a common path — this is living for a period of time like others won’t — as you’ll hear from Craig’s story.

“Typically you’re going to sacrifice comfortability with profitability,” Craig explained to me. But living for a few years like others won’t has given Craig the financial independence to potentially live decades like others can’t.

Getting Started with “House Hacking”: The Live-In Duplex

In April 2017, Craig moved to Denver. Two months later he closed on a duplex.

This is a super common house hacking strategy. Buy a multi-family property, live in one unit, and rent out the rest.

The duplex was a 1-bed, 1-bath on the top floor, with the same layout on the bottom floor. Craig rented out the top floor and started living on the bottom floor.

This wasn’t quite covering his mortgage though. So Craig decided to rent out his bedroom on Airbnb and made a quasi bedroom out of his living room. (Which, as Craig explained, was a futon behind a room divider and a curtain.)

“I slept behind that for a year and had a revolving door of Airbnb guests coming in and out of my house every few days for a whole year,” Craig told me.

This extra income more than covered his mortgage, allowing Craig to live there mortgage-free.

Plus, Craig said he got to meet travelers from all over the world, some of which he’s still friends with today. So it was a win-win for him.

Any Difficulties with This Kind of Living Arrangement?

This living arrangement isn’t going to appeal to everyone, even if your goal is to live rent or mortgage-free. Craig said he really enjoyed it, and after the first week or two, it became a norm for him.

His room was filled almost every day with Airbnb customers, so no problems getting paying roommates. If this is something you want to do, Craig said it’s important to make sure you are advertising the room correctly. As long as no one is surprised by the living arrangement, it’ll be fine.

He said a lot of people staying at his place even liked having someone to talk to. All while he was netting an average of $1,100 per month, with rent going as high as $1,500 in the summer months.

There were one or two roommates that started to grate on Craig.

He said, generally speaking, the longer someone stays the more chance there is they’ll become comfortable (and possibly annoying). But it was really few and far between.

What Was Your Goal for This Property?

“I wanted to completely eliminate my living expense,” Craig told me.

Craig paid $385,000 for the property. He put down 3.5% with an FHA loan, so his all-in price was $17,000.

This makes his mortgage around $2,000 a month. His combined income from renting out the top floor of his duplex and his bedroom was around $2,800 per month.

The math is simple but very attractive:

$2,800 – $2,000 = $800 profit per month.
$800 a month x 12 months = $9600 a year.
$9600 divided by $17,000 acquisition cost = 56% cash on cash return on investment.

He put aside $250 into reserves for any maintenance costs, repairs, and so on. So his cashflow when he was living in the property was $550 per month.

Craig has since moved out of the property. He now rents out both units full-time and is bringing around $3,000 in rental income. That’s still $1,000 profit each month, with a cash flow of $750 (subtracting his maintenance reserves).

House Hacking Strategy #2: Rent by Room

After a year in the duplex, Craig bought a single-family home a few miles north of Denver with 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

This property cost $343,000, and Craig used a 5% conventional loan to buy it. He was about $20,000 in with closing costs and added another $10,000 for some minor renovations, so $30,000 all-in on this property.

With this property, Craig was living in his own room, which is an upgrade over his last living arrangement.

He rented out the other 4 rooms individually to bring in 4 rent checks a month.

The math for property #2 looks like this;

$3,150 Rent
($2,000) Mortgage
$1,150 Profit
($400) Put aside for reserves
$750 Cash Flow (while living there for free)

House Hacking Strategy #3: An In-Home Airbnb Unit

With two properties bringing in around $1,300 in cash flow, Craig closed on a third property just last month (at the time of recording) for $280,000 and moved out of property #2.

He rented out his room in property #2 and gave one of his tenants a $100 per month discount to be an in-house manager. They are now taking care of maintaining the property and making sure things are running smoothly.

His new property has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The top floor has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, and the ground floor the other rooms. The ground floor also has its own kitchen and laundry room, so the property is perfect for splitting into two living arrangements, which is what Craig is going to do.

Craig is already renting out the rooms on the top floor and living in one himself, and plans to lease the ground floor out as an Airbnb apartment. It’s in need of some renovations first, so that’s what Craig is working on right now.

The math for property #3 looks like this;

$3,550 Rent (conservative estimate when renovations are finished).
($2,100) Mortgage
$1,450 Profit
($400) Put aside for reserves
$1,050 Cash Flow (while living there for free)

What’s Your Screening Process for Housemates Like?

“I take screening very seriously,” Craig told me.

There are some obvious risks with living with strangers, but Craig said he’s had very few problems because he screens everyone before letting someone move in. He starts by sending out applications asking for background and credit checks, then does in-person open house showings.

He takes his time to find people that he thinks will make good housemates. Craig said that when he’s renting just a room the price is lower than a house share, so he gets more applications which give him more people to choose from.

Most of his housemates are young professionals. Craig said this demographic tends to spend most of their time in their rooms. When he sees them in the main living areas they are always polite and social too.

Craig likes to get people to commit to at least an 8-month lease. But the important thing is that leases end between April 1st and August 31st as this is the easiest time to find new housemates.

What Are the Loan Options When Buying for House Hacking?

There are first-time homebuyer programs where you can get a low down payment, like as low as 1%-3%. The conventional down payment amount is 5%, and you can do this over and over, just as Craig has.

The only catch to the low down payment rates is that has to be on a single-family residence. Craig said the only way to get a low down payment on a duplex, triplex, or quad, is to use an FHA loan. But you can only have one FHA loan out at a time.

Craig said if you want a duplex/triplex, the best way to approach this is to find a property that you can fix up. Then you put down your 3.5% for example, and after you fix it up you can have 25% due to forced appreciation. You can refinance out that 25% with a loan, then use another FHA loan for another property.

The “Airbnb Arbitrage” Hack

This involves approaching a landlord with a property for rent, and offering to lease the property — but making it clear you’ll be subletting it out via Airbnb.

This is something Craig did with a friend’s property. His friend couldn’t find someone to rent his 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo, so Craig rented it and sublet it on Airbnb.

He made $10-15k over the course of a year and paid down his student loans.

If you don’t have a down payment for a property right now, Craig said this type of rental arbitrage is a lot easier to get into and you don’t need much capital upfront.

The only issue is that “You’re not building wealth, you’re creating a job for yourself,” Craig said.

It’s certainly a side hustle you can make some cash with though. If you want to get started, Craig said to look for vacation-type properties or places with easy access to the downtown area, and start making calls to landlords.

A few tips Craig shared for managing an Airbnb subletting side hustle:

Expect to hear a lot of “no’s” from landlords
Check with local regulatory bodies to see if you need a permit or license
Automate bookings and other tasks with software like Smartbnb.io

Suggestions for Families Looking to House Hack?

If you’ve got a couple of kids, the house hacking dynamic is much different. You probably don’t want to be cramming behind a curtain segmenting part of your house to rent it out to Airbnb guests.

You can still get into house hacking though, and it depends on what type of property you have.

Craig said there is something he calls the “luxurious house hack.” This is when a family lives in the main house and rents out an additional unit on their property.

Or, you can go down the duplex/triplex route like he did and rent out one floor. This way you have your own living space and privacy.

Craig had an interesting way of summing up how house hacking affects lifestyle:

“Typically you’re going to sacrifice comfortability with profitability. The more comfortable you are, the less profit you’re going to get,” he told me.

What if You Don’t Want to Deal With Tenants At All?

The Neighbor self-storage platform connects people with storage needs with those who have extra space. If you’ve got some excess storage capacity in your garage or elsewhere, list your space here to fill it and get paid.

According to the site, hosts are earning up to $15,000 a year running their own mini self-storage operations.

If you have a little cash to invest — as little as $500 — you can begin to add more passive real estate investments to your portfolio.

These won’t generate the eye-popping returns Craig has seen by “sacrificing comfort”, but won’t have you living behind a curtain either.

Check out our full Neighbor review to learn more.

What’s Next?

When I asked Craig what was next for him, if he was going to continue to build his real estate empire of house hacking properties, he was philosophical in his answer.

“My goal here is to be as flexible as possible, so when life throws me something I can hit it out of the park,” Craig told me.

He’s planning on at least one more house hack in the near future. Then he’s going to travel for a bit, which is something his financial independence allows. When he’s back, he’s going to buy more properties and take it from there.

He ended by saying, “When the time comes I’d like to sell all my real estate, put it in index funds, and kick back and relax for a while.”

Craig’s #1 tip for Side Hustle Nation

“Don’t be afraid to get started. If it doesn’t work, stop, you can always adjust.”
