I love side hustles.
Who wouldn’t want an extra income stream to increase their financial stability or just as a hobby?
What I love about side hustles is that there are so many to choose from based on your skills or preferences. And the money-making potential for most of the side hustles is great.
Some of them you can start for free, and some you might have to invest first to get started.
Today, I am giving you a list of side hustles or side jobs that you can start for less than $50.
I know that investing in something can be hard when you are on a tight budget, but the income potential for most of these side hustles is enormous. So have a read and try the ones that suit you.
10 Side Hustles You Can Start for Less Than $50
#1. Course Creator
I would probably not call this a side hustle; this could very well be a main income earner. Melyssa Griffin earns most of her online income from her courses. If you have expertise in any skill, then you can go ahead and create courses or eBooks on that topic and start making money.
There are many platforms you can use to create courses like Udemy, Lynda, or Teachable. Though it is slightly more expensive, Teachable is a popular platform for creating courses on.
#2. Pet Sitter
Pet sitter is a fun side hustle that probably won’t cost you anything. If you love animals, all the furry ones and hairy ones, then this side hustle is for you. You can look for online pet sitting jobs through websites like Rover, Pawshake, and much more.
Some of these websites even have an app to make things more convenient. You could earn up to $1,000 a month pet sitting according to their website.
#3. Blogger
Blogging is one of my favorite hustles that I have been testing for almost one year, and I have had great results. It is ultra cheap to start a blog, only $2.95 per month (remember this price is only through my link and for a short period of time!), and the potential for income is infinite. Plus you get a FREE domain when you sign up for a 12-month basic plan!
I have been successfully earning over $4,000 a month from my blog in just one year, and it is growing. So if you have been thinking of starting a blog, either as a side hustle or as a main business, this is the time. I have created a very detailed 5-day FREE course to help you start, so sign up today.

#4. Photographer
This side hustle is quite close to my heart. I am a BIG photography junkie. But there is a huge money-making side to photography as well. You can monetize your photography skills in many ways, like using your skills to become a brand ambassador on social media, becoming a freelance photographer, using apps like Foap and StudioNow to sell your photos, etc.
If you go the freelance way, you might need a website to promote your work. But all in all, it does not cost you much to make money from photography, you just need to hone your skills.

#5. Virtual Assistant
Again, this is a side hustle or home business that does not take much money to start, but the returns are great and entirely dependent on your efforts. Virtual assisting is so in high demand that many stay-at-home parents are opting for this hustle because of the flexibility.
Check out how you can earn $35 per hour as a beginner virtual assistant. There are many virtual assistant companies that recruit VAs even without much experience.
#6. Proofreader
Proofreading or editing is an excellent work-at-home option if you are great at correcting documents. Proofreading doesn’t require any prior experience, but it advisable to take a course to make sure your skills are up to date. You can start your own proofreading business with Proofread Anywhere.

#7. Flipper
Flipping is a fun way to make money where you buy things for cheap and sell them for a profit. If you love shopping and have an eye for a great deal, then this might be a perfect hustle for you.
You don’t have to spend much to become a flipper, but I would highly suggest taking Melissa’s Flipper University course, which can give you a lot of useful tips about buying and selling.
#8. Professional Organizer
Did you know that professional organizing is in high demand? You might be thinking whether you need any special skills to become an organizer. No, you don’t need any special skills.
Check out this interview that I had with Lisa Woodruff, who is an experienced professional organizer and has published books on organizing. It might give you a good idea on how to start this hustle.
#9. Tour Guide
If you love traveling around your city, then you could start a fun side hustle as a tour guide. Being a tour guide is an excellent way to go around your city and give an awesome tour of the place to new tourists. This is a less explored side hustle, but my friend Alexandra Kenin started off guiding tourists as a part-time option and now has a tour guiding company.
As she mentions, there are not many costs involved in this hustle, and I am sure you can start with the least investment. If you have the travel bug like I do, then this could be your hustle.
#10. Freelance Writer
This is very flexible and a great way to hustle without much investment. Freelance writers are in big demand right now. There are so many ways you can monetize your passion. You can write for magazines, blogs, media, etc.
You can also start your own writing business and make six figures like Holly does. There are many options you can choose from. Check out this post, which has many places where you can start your freelance writing career.
Starting a side hustle is the smartest way to achieve financial stability. And to top it all, if you find hustles that require the least investment, then it works out for the best. Start hustling with these side hustles and make money now.
