Side Hustle 1
Instagram without your face now you
probably think that in order to run a
huge Instagram account you have to be
some sort of influencer who takes
pictures of themself but that’s actually
not the case I personally have spent
over a quarter of a million dollars on
Instagram and a good amount of that
money could have gone to you if you were
running what are known as Instagram
theme Pages the way that an Instagram
theme page works is you choose a niche
let’s say for example business and then
you upload faceless images giving value
in whatever Niche you happen to be in
and here’s an example theme page in the
business Niche that got over 700 000
followers now at this point you’re
probably asking Matt how do I actually
make money doing this well the way it
works is that companies or people
selling products will typically send you
DMS asking to buy what are known as
shout outs a shout out is simply a post
on that page where you promote the
product and they pay you money and I
personally know a lot of the people
Behind These theme pages and they’re
making tens of thousands of dollars per
month without ever even having to show
their face or be any sort of influencer
and also a lot of them live all over the
world like your location doesn’t matter
at all for doing this if you can make an
Instagram account you can potentially
make a whole business out of doing this
for example I know this guy in India he
runs over 20 Pages without ever even
showing his face now the reason that I
know people who are doing this is
because I’ve actually bought a lot of
shout outs to promote my personal
Instagram account make money Matt and
the reason that I’m willing to pay for
shout outs on these pages is because
then I can promote my YouTube course to
mastering monetization and make more
money back and that’s exactly how I grew
my Instagram account to over 300 000
followers as well now the biggest
question that’s probably on your mind at
this point if you’re interested in doing
this is how do I actually grow my
account to get hundreds of thousands or
millions of followers well I actually
talked to one of the people that I know
who’s doing this and he said his biggest
tips for growing an account super
quickly are to number one post one to
three times per day on your page and he
said to post a combination of feed posts
that are directly images also feed posts
that are short videos and then reels
which are short vertical videos and
finally making sure to put up multiple
stories per day and tip number two was
to model already popular content so
you’d go on big Pages within your Niche
and then just start going through their
posts and see what their average like
amount per post is let’s say it’s 5 000
likes per post and then let’s say you
find one image that stands out from the
rest because it has over 10 000 likes on
it that would be a great image to model
for your page and also you can find
viral posts by going to the explore page
on Instagram and just searching your
Niche and the third tactic is to buy
shout outs on other big pages that are
out there and to make extra money doing
this you can promote affiliate products
from places like digistore24 and
ClickBank and in order to sell more
shout outs so you can make more money on
your page you can actually list your
account on a website called
shoutcart.com side hustle number two is
Side Hustle 2
flipping free stuff now you’re probably
familiar with the concept of flipping
where you you buy a product at one price
and then you hopefully sell it for a
higher price well you can actually take
this to the extreme by getting products
for completely free now you’re probably
asking Matt where do I get free products
that I can then sell for more money well
you can actually go to places like
Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist and
then go under the free sections of those
websites to find free products near you
that then you can potentially mark up
and sell on places like eBay Facebook
Marketplace Craigslist and more when I
was a teenager I actually did do this
and I made a little bit of spare income
doing so so I know this can definitely
work but I didn’t really go all in doing
this so I didn’t make as much as I
potentially could have because I was
also trying to run YouTube channels at
the same time as well as trying out all
these different side hustles and another
tactic you can do is to buy stuff for
super cheap from thrift stores to then
resell online side hustle number three
Side Hustle 3
is Etsy without products now Etsy you
might be familiar with it’s a Online
Marketplace where people typically sell
like handmade goods and homemade stuff
but what what you probably didn’t know
about Etsy is that you can actually sell
products without ever even having to
make a product and this also doesn’t
even require you to have any skills now
you’re probably asking Matt I need an
example of this I don’t believe you well
for example this Etsy shop right here
has got over 300 000 sales and it
literally just sells printable photos
and paintings and if you multiply 300
000 by the average order price of
whatever it is that’s going to be a lot
of money and what’s so cool about this
idea is that they don’t even have to pay
for shipping fulfillment costs or really
any type of fulfillment cost because in
order to deliver they literally just
send a message to the person that bought
with their printable photo now the next
obvious question that comes up is where
can I find Art to get for free so I
don’t have to pay a bunch of money in
order to then sell it on Etsy well you
can find Art on websites like rtv.com
unsplash morg file takes away pixels and
you can also even just Google public
domain art to see what art you can
potentially use but just make sure that
in the terms and conditions it says as
you can use it for commercial purposes
because you’re going to be making money
Side Hustle 4
doing this side hustle number four is
blogging yes blogging can still work
incredibly good even right now there’s
tons of people making money blogging for
example these people right here Lauren
and Alex actually created a health blog
called avocado and they grow to making
over six figures per year and then they
made an additional blog called create
and go and they just talk about how they
grew their blog and made a bunch of
money from it and basically the way that
this works is you first of all choose a
niche and the best niches are typically
related to health wealth happiness
relationships technology and travel and
then you do keyword research to find out
which topics to write about and there’s
completely free tools like ubersuggest
or ask the public to see what you should
be writing about and then you simply
write great original articles that are
at least one to two thousand words long
and then a host your site there’s great
hosting providers like wpx hosting which
integrates to WordPress to make your
blog so you don’t have to have any
technical skills when it comes to coding
or anything else and then you simply
need a a good WordPress theme for
example the Astra theme and with
WordPress you can install what are known
as plugins for example the yoast plugin
is a really good one which lets you put
keywords that you might want to rank for
and once you write a bunch of articles
on subjects that are ideally High search
volume and low competition then over
time your blog articles will start
ranking in places like Google search
people will find it there they’ll go to
your blog and at this point you’re
probably saying that’s great Matt but
how do I actually make money doing this
well to make money you can put ads on
your website from places like Google
AdSense and of course you can do
affiliate marketing you might be asking
Matt how much can I realistically make
doing this well there’s blogs that make
millions upon millions of dollars per
year but most of these have been doing
this for years as well so my
recommendation to you if you’re thinking
about doing this is to start planting
these seeds now so that in the future
those seeds can come to harvest and you
can make money from those blog posts and
for example Alex and Lauren from the
blog that I showed you earlier they make
nearly three hundred thousand dollars
per year from their blog and that’s
nearly as much as the salary of the
president of the United States side
Side Hustle 5
hustle number five is promoting High
payout partner products now if you have
a blog or literally any way of getting
some traffic online then you can use
that traffic to promote what are known
as high payout partner products these
are products that you can find on
websites like clickbank.com or
digistore24.com and then you can promote
the links on the traffic you’re bringing
in now my opinion this side hustle is
the laziest way of making money online
and I have an entire video talking about
this lazy method if you want to watch it
I’ll put a link down in the description
that teaches this step by step and shows
how I make thousands of dollars per
month doing so side hustle number six is
Side Hustle 6
to get people to promote your product
there’s tons of people wanting to
promote affiliate products but
unfortunately there’s not as many great
affiliate products to promote now this
leaves a huge opportunity for you and me
if we have a specific skill that we can
teach and then market and sell and get
other people to promote it for us
meaning that potentially we don’t have
to do any marketing whatsoever so the
the way that this works is that if you
have literally any skill and no more
than one percent more than most people
on that skill whether it be video
editing picture editing exercise Health
literally anything that people are
interested in learning more about then
you can create what is known as an
online course teaching that subject now
you might be intimidated when you hear
that and think I could never make an
online course but at the end of the day
an online course is literally just a
collection of videos and if you can film
videos of yourself teaching what you
know then you can sell a course on it
and potentially make a lot of money and
for example you don’t have to be the
world’s most leading expert on a
specific subject I know a little bit
about YouTube because I run a bunch of
YouTube channels and therefore I sell a
course now am I the number one YouTuber
in the world not by any means but I can
teach people how to get to the level
that I’ve gotten to and that’s what Alex
and Lauren did from that blogging side
hustle that we talked about earlier to
bring in over an extra hundred thousand
dollars per year to their blog and I
personally make over a million dollars
per year from my online course that
teach just people how to grow on YouTube
and one of my biggest secrets for doing
that is getting other people to promote
my course for me and the way that I do
that is by putting my course on
digistore24 under the marketplace
section and then people can easily sign
up to promote the course for me and get
50 of every single sale that they get
and the reason this is such an
incredible deal for both of us is
because they don’t have to then create a
product and sell it and do all that and
I don’t have to go out there and Market
as much because people will be running
ads making videos writing articles and
doing all sorts of things to promote
your product without you having to lift
Side Hustle 7
a finger side hustle number seven is
stock footage YouTube channels now if
you’re going to be running a blog like
we talked about in the earlier side
hustle then an idea to make as much as
possible from that blog is to take the
articles that you already have and
literally just use them as scripts for
your YouTube channel and all you have to
do is just read it and record a
voiceover and then just put free stock
photos and videos together on top of the
voiceover and boom you have a YouTube
video that can make even more money and
I literally got over a million
subscribers on a YouTube channel without
ever even showing my face so I’m telling
you this from experience and you can
download completely free stock footage
from all of these websites right here so
feel free to screenshot this and come
back to it if you want to do this and
then you can edit it together using free
software like all of these right here
depending on if you’re using a computer
Mac PC or your phone and then you need
good thumbnails which are essentially
cover images for your video to get
people to click on them and you can use
free software like canva snappa or
paint.net to make them and the way that
these videos make money is that YouTube
puts ads on these videos and you get
paid every single time an ad is seen and
now you might be saying Matt I need an
example of this well this channel right
here does exactly this literally just
using stock footage it’s called brainy
dose they get 4.5 million views per
month and I would estimate they make
around five dollars per thousand views
if not more and that would equal at
least twenty three thousand dollars per
month just from ad Revenue not to
mention you can do do affiliate
marketing promoting those High payout
partner products and sponsorships to
make even more money and then imagine
you ran multiple YouTube channels all in
different niches all pulling in revenue
for you at all times throughout the day
even when you’re sleeping making you
money to pay for whatever you want to
pay for in your life and also what’s
great about YouTube is that you upload
the videos once yet they stay up forever
continuing to be able to make you money
and the reason I’m so passionate about
this is because I literally have videos
that I’ve uploaded eight years ago that
still pay me monthly to this day and I’m
telling you this from experience I
started this as a teenager so this works
for any age as well side hustle number
Side Hustle 8
eight is typing video and audio now what
if you could just pop on a pair of
headphones listen to some video or audio
literally just type out what’s being
said and get paid in exchange well it
might sound too good to be true but this
is actually possible through something
called transcribing there’s actually
certain websites where people will
upload either video or audio and then
pay a transcriptionist to write out
what’s being said now the reason this is
valuable for them is because then they
can take that text maybe use it as a
Blog article or they can create what are
called subtitles on top of the video as
well and there’s websites you can go to
for example go transcript where the
average user makes about 150 dollars per
month and then also rev.com where the
average users make 225 to 300 monthly
and then also scribby where you can make
five to twenty dollars per audio hour
and here’s a bunch more websites where
you can do this as well and while you
can definitely make some money doing
this the one thing that I want you to
keep in mind is that this is still
trading time for money because you have
to actually sit down type out what’s
being said and you do get paid for doing
so but it is a small amount and once you
do the work the money doesn’t have the
potential of keeping coming in unless
you keep doing this as opposed to things
like YouTube or blogging where you do
the work once yet it can live forever
and continue making you money for a long
period of time side hustle number nine
Side Hustle 9
is helping now like I said earlier I run
a bunch of different YouTube channels
and there’s no way I could do that if I
didn’t pay people to help me run those
channels and there’s tons of people and
companies is like me who are looking for
people to help them with all kinds of
odd jobs tasks and other things online
for example I pay people to write
scripts record voiceovers edit videos
and make graphic design images and you
can potentially do this and sell your
services on places like fiverr.com or
upwork.com and nowadays there’s so many
different AI tools that can make your
life easier if you were to go down this
route for example if you’re going to be
writing scripts you could use tools like
Jasper AI or chat GPT to help you write
the scripts if you did go down this
route I would make sure to double check
everything to make sure it’s all
original and make sure you put it in
your own words as well and also run it
through something like copyscape to make
sure it’s Unique now as for how much to
charge if you are writing scripts or
articles I’d recommend charging at least
thirty dollars per 2000 words and that’s
if you’re going to be selling it on
somewhere like upwork or Fiverr but you
can also sell writing services on places
like iwriter and this is how much that
they pay for recording voiceovers you
can sell those on places like voices.com
get a cheap microphone like a Blue Yeti
Nano or literally just record it on your
phone for making images there’s so many
templates online on places like canva or
snappa to create all kinds of different
images whether it be YouTube thumbnails
logos Etc and then you can sell these on
places like fiverr.com with this gig
right here that this guy sells for doing
YouTube thumbnails he literally has over
59 orders in his queue and 5 000 reviews
so obviously that’s a lot of people
buying this and that’s a great side
hustle for him and it could be for you
Side Hustle 10
too side hustle number 10 is running
whiteboard YouTube channels and you can
use whiteboard software like doodly or
video scribe to create these very easy
whiteboard videos where it’s actually
mostly automated for creating the video
all you have to do is write a script and
record a voiceover and then you can
simply drag and drop things into the
video to have an animated Whiteboard
video so it doesn’t require you knowing
any animation skills or anything like
that now you might be saying Matt that’s
great but I need an example to know that
it’s actually possible to make money
doing this and this channel right here
called philosophies for Life get one
point 0.8 million views per month and if
they make six dollars per thousand views
that’s over ten thousand dollars a month
and here’s the kicker they upload two
videos per month I mean imagine if your
full-time job was literally to just make
two videos per month and then the rest
of the month you can just chill or build
up more videos for a backlog schedule
them into the future and then boom
potentially make a full-time income now

lazy way of making online that I
mentioned make sure to check out this
video right here because I go over it
step by step the laziest way in my
opinion to make money online check it
