While a\u00a0side hustle<\/a>\u00a0can be a great way to start a business or\u00a0boost your income<\/a>, many options do have startup costs. However, there are several<\/a> that you can essentially start with just the tools and materials you already have (assuming you have an internet connection).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThere are so many ways to get started with no money,\u201d says Shaun Ghavami, founder of 10XBNB, which co-hosts short-term rentals and also offers courses on the topic. \u201cYou just need to get\u00a0creative<\/a>, and you need a niche.\u201d<\/p>\n Ghavami started that way. He launched his co-hosting side hustle with no investment, reaching out to landlords that were not having luck renting their furnished properties and offering to handle their Airbnb listing and act as property manager. He started by charging\u00a020%<\/a>\u00a0of the Airbnb revenue, but today takes a 35% cut. His Vancouver-based company has generated over $5 million in booking fees since its founding in 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n If managing properties on Airbnb isn\u2019t for you, here are six side hustles that don\u2019t require any up-front investment but still have\u00a0notable earnings potential<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Companies are always on the lookout for people who can help them turn heads and capture people\u2019s attention in a crowded market. There\u2019s more to a social media consultant role than just attracting attention, though\u2014you\u2019ll also need to monitor engagement metrics and increase interaction. This is a good choice for people who have their own experience building a following on TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, or other social media outlets. Sites like Upwork and Freelancer.com are a good place to start looking for clients.<\/p>\n B2B plays are often overlooked when people consider side hustles, which can be an opportunity for someone with the right skills.\u00a0For this side-hustle business, you\u2019ll identify, attract, and nurture prospective customers for businesses, along with gathering information like contacts, combining data from places like LinkedIn, X, and Meta.\u00a0You can make the initial outreach to these places and book meetings for your client. You\u2019ll need to be good at research to identify and generate a list of prospective leads. And if you\u2019ve got cold outreach skills, that can be a deal sweetener for prospective clients.\u00a0<\/p>\n There are thousands of listings for\u00a0copywriters<\/a>\u00a0on sites like Indeed and LinkedIn. Some companies need help connecting with customers through landing pages or social media. Others need someone to write video scripts. If you can turn around high-quality writing in a short period of time, you\u2019ll quickly find demand for your services. The top niche areas for writers, as of last year, are digital\u00a0marketing<\/a>, SaaS\/e-commerce, and health\/lifestyle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nOutbound lead generation\u00a0<\/h2>\n
