in the last few months we have seen a massive push for businesses and modern life to go online side hustles have proven not only to be recession proof but to be more reliable than regular jobs in today's video I'm giving you five side hustles you can start online from the comfort of your home if you're new to my channel welcome I make videos about through living saving money and personal finance aside from all the benefits I just mentioned working from home also saves you money you don't have to commute you don't have to buy work clothes or pay for lunch plus having a side hustle from the comfort of your home also gives you the ability to focus in other areas of your life such as time with friends and family house chores and even hobbies teaching English online has become one of the most popular ways to earn money online and that's because with the use of technology it is pretty accessible to most people plus you have the flexibility to set your own hours a big thank you to our sponsor for today's video VIP kit VIP kit is an online education company that connects students and teachers globally through one-to-one personalized English language classes with over a hundred

have to worry about coming up with material work only when you want to by choosing your own hours and get paid via direct deposit twice a month pretty good right the duration of each class is only 25 minutes making it perfect for those of you who are only looking for part-time work just a little reminder you will be teaching kids in China so you have to be available in Beijing peak hours meaning daytime hours so like I already said you don't need to buy any materials to get started so there's pretty much no investment all you need is a working computer and internet connection and a headset the interview process might take up to two weeks so be aware of that but the requirements are pretty simple ability to legally work in the US and Canada but you can pretty much work from anywhere in the world have a bachelor's degree it doesn't have to be in education it could be a bachelor's degree and pretty much anything and you do need experience working with children that could be babysitting working at a camp teaching any type of job that require you to be around kids counts as experience I'm gonna leave a link in the description box below for those of you who want to apply I highly encourage those of you who meet the requirement to try it you don't have to invest anything like I said and you might end up really really liking it number two virtual assisting online businesses are thriving during lockdown and more of them are looking for virtual assistants each day a virtual assistant helps a business or an individual with tasks that can be completed online these can include customer support processing orders and refunds calendar management graphic design video editing social media content and many more many entrepreneurs and influencers use virtual assistants so the work is not limited to just businesses it is important that you choose one or just a couple of a specific areas you want to specialize in before you start looking for this type of work you know I think it's it's better for you to advertise yourself as being you know just very good at one thing or a couple of things then you know at everything you can use online job posting boards such as upwork or try a little old-fashioned networking you can reach out to people you know in real life your Facebook friends or even just businesses you see online if you see anybody that can use your help and something that you're very good at do not hesitate to reach out create you can create a really resume listing out the things that you were very good at listing out your strengths you can start a business Instagram account to start growing your presence and reach out to either influencers or businesses that are online number 3 make youtube videos I am personally biased on this because I believe that everyone should have a YouTube channel everyone with a camera or a phone and an internet connection can truly have a chance of making an impact before I had this grow that I recently experienced I've been on YouTube for a long time and even as a small creator before I even had 10,000 subscribers I was able to make money not a lot of money not full-time money but a little bit of money this year I rebranded my content and I've been consistently working on this channel and you know back in March when I lost my job I wasn't making any money but I recently started making a pretty nice amount of money doing something that I love the key to creating videos that will eventually turn into a side hustle or maybe even a full-time income is to create from a place of service it's gonna be a little bit corny what I do believe that with our stories we have a contribution to make so if you can think of a problem you solved in your life chances are that other people are having the same problems and those people are on YouTube looking for solutions of course you have to create videos with titles around topics that people are searching for that is the only way you're going to put your content in front of an audience you do have to be a little bit more intentional in the way you present your content another thing I want to say and I want to make that clear is that YouTube is not a get-rich-quick kind of scheme it does take a lot of work but once that work you put in starts to pay off it is so so rewarding and I'm not talking just in the financial aspect I'm talking about the connection that you get to form with a lot of people it is unlike anything else number four podcasting much like YouTube podcasting is another fun way to earn cash overtime unlike YouTube though the initial investment of starting a podcast is not as high all you need is a microphone and a pair of headphones pretty much you don't have to worry about buying a camera or studio lights or an editing software with podcast networks such as anchor you don't need to pay a monthly fee and you are able to monetize from the start anchor CPM is $15 per ad break which is essentially fifteen dollars per you know one thousand downloads and that is a lot more than YouTube a lot of YouTube channels CPM is two four six dollars for those of you who don't know I don't want to confuse you a CPM is basically how much you get pay for the ads that are in your content so as you see on YouTube a lot of videos have ads videos like mine and I do get pay per thousand views it really varies per channel and per video so when we're talking about anchor paying brand new podcasters $15 a CPM that's a pretty good deal if over time you build your podcast to 1,000 downloads per episode and you add to ad breaks meaning the ads that you incorporate at the beginning of the podcast or in the middle let's say you add to ad breaks out a thousand downloads that's thirty dollars make three episodes a week and that's 90 dollars a week in a total of three hundred and sixty dollars each month just by getting a thousand listens to your podcasts that's a lot more money trust me then people make on YouTube few double your views to two thousand downloads per episode then that's what seven hundred I think it's a lot easier to build an audience for a podcast than it is to build one on Instagram seriously podcasts much like YouTube videos are pretty much driven by search traffic so people go on to podcast apps to search for things so just like I was saying about YouTube videos if you're creating your podcast episodes from a place of service in thinking about how you're gonna help people and what people are searching for this shouldn't really take more than a couple months honestly number five sale used items on Poshmark I personally know people who actually make a full-time living selling things online and places such as eBay and Poshmark Poshmark is an online marketplace for fashion where you can sell used clothing shoes and accessories set a small amount to invest in this side house also let's say you set a hundred dollars use a hundred dollars to pay for shipping materials and labels and to get your stock you can pull things from your own closet or you can actually shop at your local trip shops of course they have to be high quality items in really good condition and see how it does you can even start a little Instagram account to show the outfits and give people a little preview of what's coming it's definitely a viable source of income if you put in the work especially if you are maybe going through your closet and trying to get rid of things if you're trying to adapt a more minimalist style this is a community of people who do this for a living so please be sure to check more resources before you get started obviously I only know so much I haven't had actual experience selling but there's plenty plenty of people who have in there online talking about it you know a site hustle it's a hustle for a reason sometimes you do have to put in a little bit of work and it takes a little bit of time in order to make a profit you shouldn't be discouraged by that I have personally been making videos consistently every single week since March and I didn't make any money for the first three months I just started to earn a little bit of money on YouTube and you know obviously that's not why I got started that's not what kept me going money certainly wasn't but it takes time having a side hustle can help you with your financial goals budgeting and saving money is all great but the truth is you do need extra money to build wealth because saving is not gonna be enough if you're not making enough money earning extra cash going to be another tool that's going to help you build the life that you want and that is all I have for today I hope you enjoyed this video and found some inspiration and go out there and earn some money you can find me on Instagram to connect with me on a more personal level please take care I'll see you next time [Music]
