4 Easy Side Hustles for All Ages: Simple Ways to Boost Your Income
There may be one waiting for you to begin.
In this blog, we’re going to talk about side hustles that can boost your income no matter where you are or how old you are.
Everyone wants a little extra cash in their pocket. I haven’t met a single person who doesn’t and I don’t think such a person exists.
1. Print On Demand (POD):
The first easy side hustle everyone can try is print-on-demand.
If you ever heard of dropshipping well this side hustle is similar.
You work with a supplier and you put a product for sale on a market such as Etsy and when a customer buys that product, the supplier ships it right to them. You only pay for something when you make money! What’s better than that?!
Why Etsy? Well, look at the 424.4 million monthly traffic it has.
One of the pros of this side hustle is that you don’t need any warehouse or storage for it as you won’t even see the product, you just design it for customers or you can even pay someone to do it for you if you wish.
Here are some services you can use as a beginner to design your shirts:
Another tool you can use to enhance your designs is Creative Fabrica.
Creative Fabrica is where you can find more than 9 million icons and different designs you can use in your designs.
I have been using this platform since last year and I am content with its tools.

2. Affiliate Marketing:
Affiliate Marketing is one of the easiest side hustles you can start now.
It is promoting products on different platforms such as Amazon and earns a commission for each sale you bring for the product!!!
Pick a niche (Home Decor, Fashion and Style, Travel, Gardening, etc.)
Post around 8 pins a day which you can find on TikTok, Instagram and other platforms (Don’t forget to credit the source).
Be consistent! Getting views on Pinterest is super easy since it has over a billion monthly visitors!
Assign your affiliate marketing link to each pin you post.
You can take this one step forward by emailing small businesses and offering them to promote their service or product on your pins
You can even take everything one step forward by making a website for your niche and start selling products and advertising other businesses in it. And your pre-existing Pinterest channel would be your marketing powerhouse.
3. Blogging/Writing:
This side hustle is one of the most underrated ones out there.
You will think that no one reads nowadays and everyone rather watch TikTok or short videos but it’s not true! In fact, you can learn more by reading than by watching TikToks so trust me a lot of people still read!
One is a passive action and the other is an active action!
You can start writing in what you’re good at. Your first couple of blogs aren’t going to be perfect but as you learn the better you will get at it.
One of the pros of this side hustle is that you can attract an audience that you can use later on to advertise your other services or products to.
Another good side of this is that you will always be learning. No matter if your blog goes viral or not you will learn a new lesson for each blog you write.
You can start writing on Medium, Substack, and X(Twitter) or other platforms that already have traffic. Remember not to use a newly made website since they don’t have any organic traffic coming to it.
4. Selling digital products:
Some examples of digital products are:
E-books: Digital books on various topics, including fiction, non-fiction, self-help, and educational materials.
Online Courses: Comprehensive educational programs on subjects ranging from programming to cooking.
Printables: Downloadable and printable planners, calendars, worksheets, and art.
Digital Planners and Journals: Interactive PDFs or apps designed for digital planning and journaling.
Notion Templates: Made in the Notion app (over 148 million visits monthly)
These are only some digital products that can be created and sold online.
Gumroad is a growing platform that allows creators to sell their digital products
Check it out here you will be amazed by the various digital products that are sold daily on that platform.
Some creators make at least $7000 monthly by selling digital products on Gumroad.
Gumroad’s slogan is “Go from 0 to $1.”
In other words, its main goal is to help you make your first sale on Gumroad.
If creators are doing it so can you! It’s just a matter of starting your first shop.
