18. Create Online Content

If you love to write and have expertise in a certain subject, creating online content as a freelancer could be a lucrative side hustle — or a full-time job, said Holly Johnson, a freelance writer and creator of the Club Thrifty blog.


“Nearly every business has a website, and most hire freelancers to create content for their blogs, ” she said. “By learning how to create engaging blog posts, you can earn anywhere from $50 to $500 per post. ”


Johnson said that she started creating online content for pay in 2016 and was able to become a full-time freelancer by 2016.


“Even though I work flexible hours and days, I earn considerably more than I ever did at my day job, ” she said. To get started, Johnson recommends creating an online portfolio to showcase your work. And list freelance writing as one of your skills on LinkedIn.
