Below are jobs pay up to $65,000 a year with no college degree needed. Let’s get started!

1. Pinterest Virtual Assistant

Pinterest has over 290 million active users. This is important to note because businesses want to take advantage of Pinterest and the free or inexpensive ad traffic it can bring to their business. This is why Pinterest Virtual Assistants are in high demand. 

A great Pinterest Virtual Assistant can take a business from making some money, to making a lot of money. Pinterest VA’s are in charge of creating eye-catching pins, descriptions, and so much more. 

You may be wondering how to get started as a Pinterest VA, where to find clients, how much to charge, and more.

P.S. Here’s an example of one student who is now a full-time Pinterest VA after taking Become A Pinterest VA Today! She’s earning $7,500 a month as a work-from-home Pinterest Virtual Assistant.

2. Selling printables on Etsy

Selling printables is my favorite side hustle on this list because it’s almost entirely passive income, meaning you do the work in one sitting, and then get paid for it for months and years to come. With just a few hours of work, my friend Julie has made over $5,000 selling printables. She loves this side hustle and recommends it to anyone who is short on time, wants extra money, and wants to work from home. 

Are you wondering how to get started selling Etsy printables? Julie even made a free guide which includes a secret list of best-selling products by month and how to capitalize on seasonal trends to make sales. It’s a free download and SO good!

I did an amazing interview with Julie that you can check out here. She shares pictures of her printables, revenue dashboard, and exactly how you can get started selling printables.

Below is an example of one her printables that took off and is a hot sell on Etsy.

She created a few printables in the bachelorette niche and saw her side hustle take off. With just a few hours work, she’s made thousands over the course of a two years.

Julie recently created a course called E-Printables where she shows you exactly how to make money selling printables online. I’ve gone through the course myself and plan on adding this as a side hustle myself because it’s one of the easiest ways to make passive income. 

Here’s an example of a student who is has made thousands after taking the E-Printables course. She’s only been on Etsy for a year and already has over 2,000 sales!

3. Freelance writing

I had no idea what freelance writing was (or that you could make money from it) until I met my friend Holly. I was even more shocked to see how much she makes as a freelance writer. Holly makes six-figures with her freelance writing career; $225,000 a year to be exact.

There are hundreds of freelance writing jobs out there, but getting those freelance jobs isn’t easy, which is why Holly created Earn More Writing.

I used the course Earn More Writing to help me get started in the freelance writer field, which helped me land on sites like GoBankingRates and many others. I went from charging $50 to $250 per article and now, I know I can charge much more than that with my writing experience. 

This work from home opportunity is legit, lucrative, and lets you work anywhere in the world. Holly travels (a ton!) and works all around the world.

In her free workshop, she shares her techniques she’s used to make six-figures freelance writing. You can check out her course and free workshop here. 

4. Proofreader

Transform your passion for words and reading by becoming a professional proofreader, and help people like me who are terrible at proofreading.

I hire a proofreader for special projects which has been a must in my business. Proofreaders are a must for books, magazines, websites, and tons of other projects, so they’re always in demand.

Proofreaders can earn between $17-$30 per hour and offers competitive pay and flexible hours while working from home.

Here is a free workshop that will show you if proofreading is right for you. It’s not for everyone (I definitely wouldn’t be good at it, but you might be). My friend is a freelance proofreader and while she said it was hard to find work at first, she now has a steady stream of clients and makes a great living working at home. She said there’s oftentimes more work offered than she can even accept.

5. Facebook Ad Manager

Did you know you can become a Facebook Ad Manager for businesses and make an extra $1,000+ a month with just 1 client? Facebook Ad Managers are in charge of running ads for businesses to increase their customer base and income. In easy terms, Facebook Ads can really help businesses grow.

There are over 27 million businesses in the U.S. with that number rapidly growing. Out of 27 million businesses, all you need is 1 or 2 clients to make $1,000 a month. If you want to go all in on this side hustle, you can take on 5 clients, which can be roughly $5,000 a month.

Many Facebook Ad Managers take on 10 clients a month, which can be roughly $10,000 a month.

Selling on Amazon is a legit way to make great money and isn’t going away any time soon. And if you’re completely lost on how to even get started selling on Amazon, bear with me for a sec.

My friend Jessica and her husband have perfected the art of selling on Amazon and have made well over $100,000 profit (their first year in the biz). Now, they make much more than that.

Jessica even has a free course that tells you everything you need to know in a simplified way to get started selling on Amazon.

8. Start a blog

I created this blog and made over $80,000 in my senior year of college (that’s me in my first major feature by Forbes!).

Blogging isn’t easy and takes a lot of hard work. It’s not for everyone. I had to work for free for a long time to build this business from the ground up. If you feel that you can help people with a blog and inspire others to live better lives, a blog is a great way to do that. I make money with ad revenue, affiliate marketing, sponsored posts, and selling my own digital products.

9. Surveys

Filling out surveys to make money is an easy way to make money by simply providing your opinion to questions.

I genuinely enjoy surveys because I love sharing my opinion on things. I’ve always been into taking quizzes and surveys, so naturally, I love this method of making some extra cash.

Here are a few of my favorite surveys:

• Swagbucks ($5 bonus for signing up)
• MySoapBox
• Opinion Outpost
• Survey Junkie
• MyPoints ($5 bonus after 5 surveys)
• Springboard America

Here’s a look at my Swagbucks survey dashboard. Any time I complete a survey, I get points and redeem them for gift cards.

10. Virtual Assistant

Aside from this blog, I’m a virtual assistant, and it’s been a life changing experience – here’s why. I’m a virtual assistant for a 7-figure business, which allows me to see how a successful, profitable business works. 

So many people ask me how to get started in this field, which is why I recommend the course $10KVA.

$10KVA teaches you exactly how to find your first client (and second, third, so on), how to set up your rates, and teaches you how to make $10,000 a month with virtual assisting. $10KVA simplifies the process of becoming a virtual assistant.

With businesses going online, this career space is going to grow exponentially. 

You can also see success stories and tips from successful Virtual Assistant’s.

11. Sell digital stickers on Etsy

Another great side hustle related to Etsy is selling digital planners and digital stickers. My friend Michelle sells digital planners and stickers on Etsy. Michelle personally uses digital planners and digital stickers, so she decided to sell them herself. She made over $700 her first month in profit. In her second month, she made over $1,000 in profit. 

She even created an affordable course teaching others how to do the same, which you can see here. You don’t need to have prior skills nor need a background in drawing, no special software required, and anyone can do this. This is a great side hustle for people looking to make some extra money every month.

I love side hustles like this because you put in a few hours of work, upload your digital products to Etsy, and then earn extra money for months to come. You can check out the Digital Stickers Course here.

12. Freelance on Fiverr

If you’re a graphic designer, or in digital marketing, writing, and more, you can post your services on Fiverr and get freelance work.

Fiverr is an awesome online service that connects customers with freelancers to pay for either a one-time job or ongoing work.

13. Customer Service Associate

Amazon is currently hiring customer service associates. Customer Service Associates are in charge of helping out Amazon customers with their questions and concerns about their products.

Working for Amazon also poses many benefits, such as an employee discount, health care, time off, stock, and more.
