Making Money Made Fun

Online searches for “how to make extra money” have unsurprisingly seen a huge rise in recent times. However, if you already spend 40+ hours of your week at work, it’s vital that the new revenue stream is fun.

While we all have different definitions of fun, there are plenty of possible solutions. Here are five that should leave you feeling inspired to boost your earnings in an enjoyable way.

1| Invest 

We all know at least one person who has made a small fortune from smart investments. When you make the right decisions, your capital will grow far quicker than it would in the bank. It is a great time to invest in stocks because some companies will thrive in these difficult times. Moreover, modern apps allow you to complete trades at any time.

Investments needn’t consume too much time or energy. This makes it a particularly popular choice for busy individuals. 

2| Become a content creator

The demand for content in a range of niche industries has hit an all-time high. It offers you a glorious opportunity to show your creativity and make money by showcasing your love for a passion or hobby. Launching a lifestyle blog is a particularly popular option. Alternatively, you could become a YouTube creator or Twitch streamer. 

As well as creating content on something you love, it is a chance to collab with similar people. Many members of your audience will also share the passion.

3| Start a different home hustle

Content creation is a very popular side hustle but it isn’t the only option. If you are a skilled artist or graphic designer, you could offer this service from home. Whether it’s working for an agency, working as a freelancer, or launching a startup is up to you. Thanks to digital tech, you can easily operate this venture from the comfort of your home.

Even if you decide to offer the same service that you do in your day job, it will be more fun. Not least because you get to control which jobs you take on.

4| Provide a local service 

Another option is to provide a local service. This could range from dog walking to hairdressing or cleaning. It’s a chance to earn money in a far less stressful manner. Better still, you may already have a readymade client base through friends and family. Depending on the work that you offer, it can be a good way to stay active too.

Over time, a part-time side hustle may become your main source of income. You could start earning money in a matter of days.

5| Get paid to give opinions

The days of completing quizzes for a few dollars a month are well and truly over. However, there are still plenty of opportunities to get money from your opinions. For example, you could look to become a mystery shopper or a brand reviewer. Some elements can cross over into the concept of blogging or influencing.

As well as helping you earn a little more cash, it can be a great way to get your voice heard. Even if you prefer to maintain a sense of anonymity.
