These days, its easy to think about how horrible the job market is.

Brand new graduates spend years on degrees but can’t find work, longtime employees of massive corporations like Google and Microsoft become jobless overnight, and salaries stay low while the cost of living spirals out of control.

Which is why now is the perfect time to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset.

Better yet, now’s the time to think about starting an online side hustle, many of which don’t require any experience or training, but still generate great income.

Besides the ones mentioned in this post, you can also try Dropshipping. Here is what it is, and how to do it.

Without further ado, here are 3 other online side hustle ideas.

Making Custom Ai Bots

Though this sounds like the kind of hard work only a master Computer Scientist, or huge mega corporation can do, it’s actually quite simple. Start off by going to Poe.com (or a similar website) and make a free account.

Poe is a website that hosts thousands of AI bots, and is based on a point-system model in which you get a certain amount of points to spend on talking to AI’s in the free version, and more points in paid versions.

You can make your own AI bot for free. All you have to do to make your own custom bot is use Poe’s Bot Generating AI. This Bot Generating AI, which you talk too, codes an entirely new AI bot for free based on what you tell it.

Once you decide to publish your AI on the Poe platform, the AI you make will be available for other Poe users. If another user uses your bot and then decides to buy a Poe subscription soon after, Poe pays you.

This side hustle isn’t hard to start and generates passive income if successful, but making money off it is pretty hard. That’s because of the large amount of competition within the Poe platform.

However, it is pretty fun because who doesn’t want to make their own custom AI?

Content Creation

Though this is a popular idea, and an (extremely) oversaturated market, content creation still has lots of potential, especially for people who are smart enough to make the algorithm work in their favor rather than against them.

You could potentially start off by opening a youtube or tik tok channel. Your best bet, if you’re new to content creation, is to make short, funny videos, as these get watched often, could go viral, and can get lots of views.

Some ides for funny videos could be sketches, edits, epic fails, AI generated madness, funny ranking videos, or even compilations of other funny videos.

Given enough times and the right content, you could start making significant passive income and living the life.

The advantages of this side hustle is that you get paid passively while making content relating to your passion.

But the thing is, like AI bot making, there is a LOT of competition in this market, and rising to fame and riches is a tough, but rewarding, game.

Setting Up Online Stores

Years after the inception of online shopping, business of all kinds around the world have realised that growth is impossible without an online presence.

However, many businesses, especially ones outside English speaking countries, don’t have anyone that has enough English skills to set up online storefronts.

That’s where you come in. As a freelancer on a platform like Upwork or freelancer.com, you, with good English skills and minimal online experience, can build online shops for business to sell their products on platforms like Squarespace, Woocommerce, Etsy and more.

Businesses will then pay you for stores you create, sometimes hundreds, thousands, or even more per job.

Advantages of this side hustle is that you start making money directly from the first job you do, and you don’t have to wait like you have to for your AI bot or content to get popular in order to make money.

On the other hand, there is a lot of competition in this market as well, and no income can be made passively with this side hustle or freelancing in general.

Start a Side Hustle NoW

Our modern world is full of opportunity.

Just 30 years ago, there was no internet, social media, or AI, and it was impossible to make money within the comfort of your home.

Things have changed now, and I encourage you to take advantage of this change and start to make money as your own boss with an online side hustle today.
