The new year comes with many possibilities of new jobs, new businesses, and more ways to earn an income online. Every day, I find new ways of making money flexibly and with more income than the usual 9-to-5 job.
If you are looking to make this new year a big success with regard to making money, then you need to find a hustle you enjoy that you can still make money from.
And the possibility of that happening is HUGE.
There are some very promising and highly profitable virtual work areas that are going to be big this year, and it is the right time for you to consider them.

Online e-commerce business is going to be BIG this year. With so many big marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and AliExpress, there is no shortage of ideas or inventory available to start an online biz.
With many possibilities and such vast marketplaces, having a money-making online store is a great place to start making money this year.

Social Media Manager
Being a social media manager is the most attractive career right now with so many big brands and companies maitaining a social presence. A social media manager manages a business’s or brand’s social platforms and uses growth tactics for the enterprise.
Though this role was entirely unheard of a decade ago, now it is at its peak, and it is going to rise in the coming years with new social platforms emerging.
There are many roles within the social media management niche like social media consultant, social media manager, marketing manager, etc. But all of these come under the umbrella of managing the social platforms of a business/brand.
Content Writer
Freelance writing is a fast emerging money-making stream. If you are good with words, then you can look at making this your main hustle.
Companies, brands, blogs, magazines, and other digital media require content for their websites, blogs, etc. and this creates tremendous potential for freelance content writers to get many projects.

Virtual Assistant
There is a conspicuous rise in the number of virtual assistant jobs. And the most convenient and flexible part of this role is the variety of tasks you can do—whether you are good at web design, data entry, general admin work, social media management, or any other kind of work, you can be a VA.
According to research, the virtual assistant industry is going to grow exponentially by 2024. With such booming growth, this industry is going to be a big money earner this year.
No matter what you are good at, take your skill to the next level by becoming a VA.
Translator
Translation is a less well-known work-at-home role, but it is slowly growing with more crowdsourcing companies coming up. There is a constant need for online workers, predominantly, who are bilingual and can efficiently translate.
Many companies are following the ways of Appen and Lionbridge, which are both major crowdsourcing companies and offer translation services.
Keep an eye out for future translation opportunities with all the crowdsourcing companies.
Blogger
Blogging is a universal online hustle that has unlimited earning potential. Having said that, earning money from it depends on your efforts, niche, and strategies.
Whether it is freelance blogging or blogging as a biz, you can monetize it. According to BlogHer, around 61% of online consumers have made purchases based on recommendations from blogs.
For example, I started my blog back in July 2016, and after just six months of blogging, I was making over $3,000 a month from my blog. So what’s the magic formula for this? Always blog about what you love.
If you are into any of these hustles or are just thinking of starting a hustle this year, then you are on the right path. There is a rising trend with these roles, and they are going to explode in the coming years.
Time to get hustling now!!
