Feeling stuck in a 9-5 that leaves you burned out and strapped for cash? You're not alone.

A side hustle can be your way out of the paycheck-to-paycheck grind and into more meaningful (and potentially more lucrative) work.

While there are tonnes of side hustles to consider, remote side hustles are a great way to work on your own terms. Make money online from the comfort of your home office (or whatever beachfront cafe you decide is your office that day!).

Here are 80 side hustles you can do from anywhere.

Types of remote side hustles (and how they work)

money on phone

With most side hustles, work falls under one of three umbrellas: gig-based, freelance, and part-time contracts. Let's take a look at all three.

Gig-based

Gig work pays you per project instead of a regular salary. You pick each “gig” or task — like filling out simple surveys or completing product tests, or completing one-off design or writing tasks — and get paid when it’s done.

Whether you’re tagging images for a micro-task site, testing an app, or editing someone’s blog post, there are gig jobs for every skill level.

Freelance work

Freelancing sits between one-off gigs and full-time employment: you still work for yourself, but your projects run longer and you build ongoing client relationships.

Instead of tackling a single task like with gig work, you’ll complete a set of tasks on a regular basis. Freelance work can be anything from handling basic admin tasks like emails to content marketing, data entry, writing, graphic design, social media management, and more.

Flexible part-time contracts

Now, this is the remote side hustle that's most like a traditional job. If you want stability, remote part-time contracts are your best bet. These remote side hustles pay predictably and let you choose when and where you work.

Many companies outsource to contractors, so you get reliable income, skill growth, career advancement, and a healthier work–life balance. Plus, part-time roles can open doors to bigger opportunities down the line.

There's nothing worse than going to your favorite local band's gig, and the merchandise sucks. Or going to check out your most-watched creator's merch store, but nothing is wearable.

Merch is hot, but AI-generated and repetitive designs aren't. That's why people seek independent merchandise designers.

Start by creating merch and selling through POD services. Once you grow, you never know who'll start approaching you to design t-shirts, posters, hats, beer coolers, and more.

Start by promoting your services on Instagram or creating a website with a portfolio of your work. Platforms like Stitch Fix or Trunk Club also allow you to sign up as a stylist and offer your expertise remotely.

But, if you’re someone who loves making things look great while also ensuring they function well, then UI/UX design might be your ideal remote side hustle. 

You’ll need to know how to work with design tools like Adobe XD, Figma, or Sketch, and you’ll need to understand the principles of user-centered design.

You don't have to be Gen Z to make money with UGC.

Dropshipping is the ultimate remote side hustle because you can sell physical products without ever leaving your house. With dropshipping, you create your store, choose your supplier, and market your products — but the inventory and shipping are not your responsibility.

The sales are online, but you do have to find the products yourself. Your main job is to find profitable products, manage your inventory, and optimize your listings. Amazon literally takes care of everything else.

"With Amazon FBA we don't have to deal with marketing, we don't ever have to do with spending on ads or PPC. This is because we're already selling branded products like Nike, Stanley — any products that you see that market themselves."

When I was a kid, I sucked at math. My dad bought this kit he saw on an infomercial called 'Mathletics' to try to make it fun for me to learn, and honestly? It worked.

Similarly, you could create and sell themed digital learning kits for parents and educators. Think printable worksheets, interactive PDFs, educational games, or activity guides focused on subjects like early literacy, math skills, or science experiments.

Remember, a lot of parents are homeschooling or supplementing schoolwork, so digital learning kits are in strong demand. Homeschoolers make up 6.73% of all school-age children in the U.S!

You can sell these kits on Etsy, Whop, or your own website.

  • What it costs: Low
  • What you need: Laptop, design software, basic knowledge

39. Website flipping

Website flipping banner

If you’re looking to explore new side hustles that can earn you quick cash without getting bogged down in long-term maintenance, flipping websites is a lesser-known (and interesting) option. 

Basically, you sign up for specialized website flipping platforms (like Flippa), which let members buy and sell a variety of websites (blogs, affiliate marketing sites, online stores, directories, pretty much any kind of website).  

That said, be cautious. A website’s current traffic is no guarantee of future success, and if you're not familiar with the market or don’t have the time to manage a site? Your earnings could take a hit – fast. Do some research before diving in.

  • What it costs: Cost of the website you're buying - $1 to millions of dollars
  • What you need: Computer and a website to sell
  • Average monthly earnings: $1,000-$5,000

40. Sell subscription boxes

With subscription boxes, your job is to curate themed items that speak directly to your target audience’s passions – the more niche, the better.

Maybe that’s wellness enthusiasts (crystals, herbal teas), book lovers (indie novels, bookmarks), eco-conscious shoppers (zero-waste products), or hobbyists (art supplies, gourmet snacks).

The remote-friendly twist: you don’t have to handle inventory or shipping. Collaborate with print-on-demand companies, wholesalers, or third-party logistics providers who fulfill orders on your behalf.

  • What it costs: $100-$1000 (website setup, marketing, sample products)
  • What you need: Ecommerce platform, sourcing tools (Alibaba, local artisans), fulfillment partners (print-on-demand, third-party logistics)
  • Average monthly earnings: $2,000-$10,000

Serviced-based side hustles

The following side hustles are services that you can offer remotely.

41. Virtual assistance

42. Remote closing

This side hustle is for anyone with sales skills. Remote closing is a hustle where ‘closers’ take high-ticket sales calls for creators, companies, and businesses and close leads and deals – you guessed it, remotely.

As a remote closer you have the potential to make way more money than an in-house sales associate. So skip the office and work remotely, banking comissions each time you land a sale.

  • What it costs: $0
  • What you need: Computer and phone
  • Average monthly earnings: $3,000-$20,000+

You can be a jack-of-all-trades or specialize in areas such as content creation, community management, or analytics. Get active on social media with a professional profile to show your skills and find new clients.

  • What you need: Computer and digital marketing software

47. Website development

Unlike web design, which focuses on visual and user experience elements, website development involves building the website’s structure, functionality, and backend systems. 

This requires writing code in languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and server-side languages like PHP or Python. So, you do need experience.

Specializing in areas like ecommerce solutions, WordPress, or custom web applications can help you stand out. And you guessed it, a portfolio with diverse examples of functional websites is important to build credibility and clientele.

Use professional networking sites like LinkedIn to show your experience and credibility in the workforce. Start posting about the importance of good resumes in your industry, and let your followers know you can help them out. Once you’ve built up a portfolio, you can increase your rates and attract more clients looking for polished and professionally done resumes.

68. Subtitling

Admission: I can’t watch anything without subtitles to read along with. I can’t be the only one, right?

So… If you have an ear for dialogue and attention to detail, this can be an easy entry point into a remote side hustle. You can work with video creators who need subtitles for accessibility and SEO. Platforms like Descript and Subtitle Edit make it easy to add and sync text to video.

  • What it costs: Low
  • What you need: Computer, reliable internet
  • Average monthly earnings: $4,000-$10,000

- Online community creator, Whop

There’s one-on-one coaching, and then there’s paid communities. Similar in theory, but paid communities allow you to offer your help or services to more people at once. It’s less personalized than coaching but can be more lucrative if you play your cards right.

Your community might be based around digital nomadism, fitness, or self-improvement. It’s up to you!

Ever used a product and thought, what on earth was this company thinking? You’d be a great product reviewer.

Companies have a desperate need for consumer feedback to improve their products, and they’re willing to compensate you (admittedly, lightly) as well as offer free items in exchange for honest, detailed reviews. Sure, it’s no get-rich-quick scheme. But it’s extra money, it’s easy, and you get free sh*t

Platforms like Influenster, BzzAgent, and Smiley360 can connect you with brands looking for real consumer opinions, allowing you to receive free products or get paid for your insights.

Even if you don't know how to craft prompts, you can still sell them. This creator says:

How to find the right remote side hustle for you

Lots of options, right?

It can be tricky to choose the hustle that's best for you when you're staring at a huge list. Here's how you can narrow down which ones are most aligned:

Set your goals

Ask yourself: why do you want a side hustle?

  • Extra cash?
  • Building new skills?
  • Testing a career shift?

Your goals will point you toward the hustles that make sense for you.

Map out your time and resources

Be realistic about what you can give:

  • How many hours per week?
  • Do you want nights, weekends, or flexible?
  • Do you have money to invest, or do you need something you can start free?

Pick a hustle that fits your schedule and budget.

Create your personal brand 

Show off what you bring to the table:

  • Create a simple site or whop
  • Keep your socials consistent and professional
  • Highlight your best work

The stronger your online presence, the easier it is for opportunities to find you.

Plug into professional networks

Don’t go it alone. Join groups, online communities, or forums in your niche. Networking means more connections, advice, and doors opening faster than if you hustle solo.
