so if you click on this video you probably want to start a side Hustle but the problem is most side hustles either pay peanuts or demand so much time that they might just be another full-time job that's why I've got something different today so these are seven high-paying side hustles that can make you a lot of money that you can do without burning all your free time and these are not just random ideas these are businesses that I've either built myself or know someone who's built them successfully in the past and the best part about
this is that I'm also going to show you how to start them all the tools that you need and real examples of people already doing it so you can just follow what they do now the first one is something that I'm really excited about cuz there's really almost zero competition but there's massive demand so have you guys ever watched a true crime video on YouTube people are absolutely hooked on these videos cu the stories are so intense right and if you think about it that's perfect for YouTube cuz the longer people watch the more money
you'll make so this channel is rotten mango it's a bigger channel in True Crime with 4 million subscribers but look at how much he making like according to the social blade here the channel is making $100,000 a month just from sense and that is just with a $4 CPM but here's what's interesting if you look at this channel here called Murder with my husband they took the same True Crime concept and presented it in a podcast style right and that small twist made them stand out and they're making $50,000 a month now this's one problem
though creating this type of content is incredibly timeconsuming you're looking at hours of research you're going to write scripts recording and editing just for one video but this is where AI comes in we can now use AI to create the script you can narrate it into a podcast and create an entire Channel and nobody will ever know it's made by AI so let me show you exactly how this works so I've got an example story here about Vanishing car thief right I'm just going to copy the entire text here and paste it into an AI
tool called notebook LM everybody's familiar with this one and it's going to create an entire audio podcast for me and let me just play this for you ever had that feeling where you lose something like your car keys and then you find them in the weirdest spot yeah well imagine that but with your entire car oh wow that's what happened to James Wilson back in March 2019 in Newport Beach his 1967 Mustang just disappeared from his driveway overnight and the security footage of the incident is um really strange no one going near the car no
tow truck the Mustang just vanishes and that sounds so real right and it's just perfect for stories like this now we're not going to just stop here cuz now we're going to create avatars or characters to bring the story to life and you can use a tool like Haan here or hedra and they create super realistic avatars just like these yes it's not perfect sometimes you can see that it's AI generated I would say it's 90% though uh but you know AI improves very quickly and pretty soon I think you won't be able to tell
the difference but you can see how AI can create the entire thing from A to Z and you can basically have a full true crime video in just a couple minutes and you can upload every single day if you want to now True Crime is just one angle um you can think about what's trending right now is it breaking news coverage it's politics which is blowing up right now or historical stories basically any Niche that you see a successful podcast in that is your clue now if content creation is not your thing I think you're
going to like this next one cuz this is selling products online so everybody says physical products are hard and e-commerce is really hard to set up but that's not the case anymore cuz let me give you some context here so I used to sell physical products on Amazon I made pretty good money but it came with a lot of massive problems I always ran into issues like finding good suppliers I had to go through months of shipping delays and you know when you're getting pretty good sales a lot of these delays will just kill your
momentum and if you're just starting out you need a way to test out products quickly and validate your Market before investing thousands in inventory or even a website so I want to introduce a new tool called build your store AI which is a sponsor of today's video where you can build a complete store in 2 minutes using Ai and the platform creates professional product descriptions it handles all the entire store layout automatically so you don't have to pay $200 $300 to buy a website template like these and not only that but you get access to
their tool called autods which solves the biggest headache in e-commerce which is to find suppliers and managing fulfillment so basically all the suppliers are integrated right into the platform you can just pick and choose the products that you want to sell which suppliers you want to buy from so let me show you exactly how to set this up so first click on the link in the description below so you want to hit get started here and you going see this page so the first thing you want to do is you want to pick your Niche
so you got all these options and for today I'm just going to go with uh Sports and Fitness but you know if you're not sure yet there's even I'm not sure option right here so next you want to pick a banner for your homepage I think this one looks clean so I'm going to go with this now here's something really cool the platform that you're going to use here is Shopify and by signing up this way you get to try Shopify for just a dollar a month for your first three months which is a very
sweet deal because you want to spend the least amount of money when you're starting out right now once you put in your C details it will take you to shopice backend this is where all the magic happens so you want to just install the build your store app and with just one click the AI creates the entire store based on your Niche now you also want to connect to autods so this is a tool that handles all your sourcing and Order fulfillment don't worry the setup is super straightforward and as you can see they've got
tons of suppliers you can choose from so you'll always find the product that you need but if you can't find a product you can actually send a picture of it to aods and they'll even help you Source it now you can also pick a theme that matches your brand there are tons to choose from you can add top selling products and then you can just go ahead and publish and that's it the whole process takes just a couple minutes and you've got a professional looking store ready to launch no need to hire designer the AI
handles everything so if you guys want to try out build your store you can click on my link below it's totally free and you also get a free trial to autods and Shopify for a dollar thanks build your store for sponsoring this video now the next idea here is being a Creator success partner so you know most YouTube videos will advise you to become a uh video editor or a thumbnail designer I mean yes those jobs are in super high demand right now but you'll be competing with thousands of people who claim to have that
same skill but today I want to show you a better approach that can make you stand out and land high paying clients but before I get to it you have to understand that working with creators is such a massive opportunity right now cu the Creator economy is just exploding in 2025 everyone wants to be a Creator here's what a lot of Freelancers Overlook right these creators are not just looking for someone to just edit videos or write scripts but they're actually looking for someone to help them get results so instead of focusing on Services you
want to focus in results so instead of saying I design thumbnails you can say something like I can increase your click-through rate by 3% by creating better thumbnails cuz think about it anyone can design thumbnails but is actually not about design it's creating thumbnails that actually get clicked or if you're a video editor don't just focus on transition or effects but show creators how you use certain elements to increase watch time or maybe if you are a script writer don't just rely on chat DVD to write the entire script you have to show that you're
able to increase video retention with your storytelling techniques so the point is to focus on results and that's how you want to position yourself differently from thousands of other people fighting for the same job now even if you can master all that you're probably still going to struggle to get clients if you do this one thing and that is mass email your clients cuz most people just send a mass email saying that I can edit your videos you know I get dozens of these emails every single week and I never open them but instead here's
what you do you want to take one of the recent videos and show them exactly how you would improve it so if you're a script writer you want to rewrite their introduction to make it more engaging if you're an editor you can take a 30 second clip and re-edit that clip to show that this is how I would improve retention you want to make it specific to the Creator and you can even take it to the next level if you're brand new and you're just starting to build a portfolio you can even offer a guarantee
if I don't increase your retention rate by x% you don't pay so this will remove that risk from your clients and you'll get projects really quickly the next idea here is to sell children's books on Amazon KDP now when you hear books sounds complicated where do you even store them new need Warehouse guess what you don't need to do any of that and that's because we're going to use Amazon KDP to do all that so you just need to create the content the book and leave all the printing warehousing and shipping to Amazon so let
me break down the numbers here with a real example so I'm looking at this activity book right here uh nothing fancy just a simple workbook for kids but check out these numbers here it's selling 3,000 copies every month at $66.99 which means that it's bringing in $21,000 in total revenue and after Amazon's cut the Creator keeps about $155,000 every month and this is just one example there are tons of sellers making five six figures a month selling children's books you can use a tool here like book beam to see which books are selling well so
you're not creating random books and hoping that they'll sell right so the strategy here is to identify those winners and you want to recreate your version of it that is better than your competitors and to create these books you can always use canva and if you don't want to design everything from scratch you can even buy designs from this website creative Fabrica or even atsy and you know what you can even go go as far as using mid Journey AI to create some of these activity books and the best part about this is that once
your books are alive they'll keep selling without you doing much work and your job will be to create new designs and make sure that they're better than your competitors now if you guys want to learn more about selling books on Amazon KDP you can follow this guy Sean doet he specializes in KDP content so I think you guys will get a lot of value from him now the next idea here is a brand partnership manager so this is a lucrative side hustle that nobody really talks about so if you're not familiar with this you know
those sponsor segments that you keep seeing in YouTube videos you know this video is sponsored by blah blah blah right so there's actually a massive business behind those videos and I'm not talking about being a YouTuber so here's the thing brands are pouring more money than ever into Creator marketing so I'm talking about huge companies like Shopify Squarespace North VPN they're spending millions of dollars to sponsor creators but there's a problem here you see most YouTube creators they're amazing at making content but they're terrible at dealing with Brands they don't know who to reach out
to for brand Deals they don't know how to negotiate and what to charge right cuz all the creators are focusing on growing their Channel they don't really have time to write emails negotiating all day right so this is where you come in as a brand partnership manager which is essentially the middleman between Brands and creators so let me show you how the money Works imagine you're a brand manager and you land a $3,000 sponsorship deal for a Creator so if you charge 30% to manage the deal that is $11,000 for that video so if you
can close just five videos a month that's already $5,000 in revenue for just managing one Creator and obviously you can work with multiple creators if you want to but you know what it actually gets better cuz a lot of these deals are actually not oneoff deals but they're called multi video deals which means that Brands usually sign a 3 to six months contract with the Creator and how do I know that because I manage deals like this myself for my channel so I typically sign into a five six video deals at a time so that
is basically recurring revenue for you and the Creator for the next 6 months now if you to get started with this you got to have a strategy right don't reach out to bigger creators who already have a million or 2 million subscribers cuz they probably already have someone in house or they have a dedicated manager that they work with but instead you want to reach out to smaller creators the ones with maybe 5 10,000 subscribers cuz number one they're hungry for deals number two they don't know who to reach out to right and what about
the brands how do you find them well you want to watch YouTube videos in that Creator's Niche and you want to write down who's already sponsoring those videos and then you can use a tool like .io here to find the manager's email and then you start a conversation and here's actually the best part about this you're not just limited to YouTube you can also be a manager for Instagram creators Tik Tok LinkedIn or even newsletters because every platform needs someone to bridge that gap between creators and Brands now the next idea here is to sell
digital products but I'm not talking about random PDFs or just copying templates hoping that someone will buy them I think that's risky and it hardly works but I'm going to show you a smarter way that's making a lot of people six fig figures a year doing this now I know what you're thinking okay great idea but what should I sell now this is the part where data comes in so if you guys are not aware Etsy is one of the biggest marketplaces for selling digital products and what's cool about Etsy is that all the sales
data is public so you guys can use a tool like everb or Allura and you can see the Shop's Revenue you can see their bestselling products and even how long they've been open so let me give you a real example so this shop selling ADHD planner they're making $38,000 a month just from this listing alone and because it's a digital product it's purely profits now I know what most people are going to say there's already so many people selling these things already so this why I always say with any product that you want to sell
you want to find your unique angle or a unique entry point right so you can probably Niche down one level or maybe you can create a template for a specific device just like this shop here so instead of selling a generic planner they created a template specifically for the remarkable device and they're making 10K a month and you know for the people who always say that the market is saturated you can see that they just started 5 months ago now as you know digital products are not just limited to planners you got so many options
here like social media templates printable wall art website templates SVG files or AI prompts or even courses are on Etsy right the key here is to be smart about what you create you want to validate theand first using the tools that I just mentioned and make a better version of that product and just one quick trick on how to easily improve a product is just by reading the reviews of a Computing product right read the negative reviews look at what people are saying about what's missing what they don't like about that product cuz that's your
opportunity to create a product that solves those issues now the next idea here is a business that you can start today and can make you over a million dollars and it is becoming a YouTube Creator cuz what most people think about when they hear being a Creator they probably imagine making funny videos pranks dancing creating random videos right but that's actually the hardest way to make money on YouTube and it's the reason why a lot of Creator struggle but here's the smarter approach so you want to build a channel that solves specific problems for people
and then you want to attach a product behind your videos so I've seen countless of examples of this if you guys know this guy Thomas Frank he created a channel solely focus on teaching people on how to use notion right how to use certain features how to build certain templates and then he provides products for those people who want to do more right he's got all these readymade templates and he also sells a course for those people who want to learn notion and he made a million dollars in a single year selling his products and
a million a year it's $83,000 a month and you know he only had about 100K subscribers at that time so as you can see you don't need to go viral you don't need millions of subscribers and you don't need to dance in your videos you just need the right positioning and strategy and that's not even the best part aside from product sales you also make money from just by creating those videos and for those of you who are new YouTube actually pays you for running ads on your videos so you're actually getting paid twice from
the ads on your videos and from your own products that that you sell but the key here is to pick a specific problem that you can solve whether it is you know how to invest in stocks how to fix a broken marriage how to get in shape how to make more money these are real problems that need real solution so those are the seven side hustles that are working right now in 2025 but here's the thing and I need you to really hear this cuz just by starting the side hustles is probably not going to
be enough and I see this all the time people get excited they start something but the problem is they treat it like a maybe it works maybe it doesn't experiment but but you know the people that actually succeed they don't just dip their toes in they burn all bridges they commit 100% cuz when you don't have a plan B and when you tell yourself that this has to work something shifts in your mind you stop making excuses you start finding solutions to your problems and I'm not saying you quit your job tomorrow but whatever you
pick from these ideas today commit to it like your life depends on it work on it every single day even if it's just for 2 hours a day cuz a year from now that commitment is the thing that you're going to thank yourself for thanks again for watching guys I'll see you in the next video
