5 Side Hustles You Can Do From Bed

/

One of the most common questions I hear is how can I make a little extra money on the side without putting in too much time?

While we would all like to make more money while we sleep, starting a side hustle does take some effort. But there are a few options that require a little less work than others--- and can be done from the comfort of your bed or kitchen table.


Side Hustles on Money & Mimosas

The best part about these side hustle ideas is that you don’t need a huge investment to get started or need to develop a specific skill. Whether you’re saving up for a fancy trip or just want some extra spending money, it’s always a good idea to learn how to earn money in your spare time.

This is a small list of ideas to help you get started and spark your creative juices. And you can do them all from your bed!

  1. Transcribing podcasts and trainings. I used this service when a company hired me to create a 15-hour training for their accounting team. As a transcriber you earn a percentage of the overall fee. Check out Scribie for more information.

  2. Customer Interviews. A lot of companies use customer interviews to get feedback on new products. Ping Pong is a sweet service that facilitates those interviews remotely.

  3. Renting Out Your Car. In select markets, you can rent out your car on a daily or hourly basis to earn extra cash through companies like Turo. Nick and I used this service during our long weekend trip to Portland and loved it! According to Turo, the average car sits idle 22 hours a day, so their service is a unique opportunity to capitalize on those idle hours!

  4. Virtual Assistant Service. Virtual assistants provide administrative support, remotely. If that sounds like a fun side hustle you can create your own business or join an established VA company such as Freedom Makers (they hire military spouses) or Fancy Hands.

  5. Rewards Points from Credit Cards or Interest on Banking Account. The points from our credit cards have resulted in hundreds of dollars of gift cards and free travels. Also, the interest rates on your bank account balances can start to add up. Check out Radius Bank’s hybrid checking account for an easy way to earn cash on your checking account balance. Most checking accounts offer 0% interest, but Radius Bank actually pays you to store your money with them.
