Are you a working mum looking for a way to complement your income? Or are you a stay-at-home mum looking for the best ways to earn a living while in the comfort of your home? If yes, you need to consider taking up a side hustle.

Side hustles are means to make money outside your normal 9-5 jobs. And while not all side hustles are made equal, there are a few that are suitable for women like you. Plus, they can help you make money while building a career. Here are 4 side hustles to consider in 2022.

1. Create a blog

Do you know that 77% of internet users read blogs? Blogging is a good side hustle. This means, as a woman, you can create a blog to make cool cash. In addition to making money, blogging allows you to share your knowledge and offer value to people looking for help on certain topics. However, you should note that blogging isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme.

So, ensure you focus on the process rather than the results. Choose a profitable niche and get advice from individuals making money off their blogs. Also, unlike some side hustles, blogging doesn’t require tech skills. All you need to make money from your blog are:

  • Content writing skills
  • Design skills
  • Communication skills
  • SEO
  • Link building
  • Social media skills
  • Networking

An average blogger makes money from sponsored blog posts, affiliate marketing, ads, physical or digital product offerings, etc. If you play your cards right, you can make money from these means.

2. Be a wedding photographer

Do you love taking pictures? Are you pretty good at it? If yes, you can turn your talent into a money-making business by embracing wedding photography. You can book clients based on your schedule and make money from your passion.

While wedding photography remains a profitable side hustle, taking it up means you need to be available on weekends. Plus, you also need to master some photo editing skills.

In addition to photo editing, stamina, creativity, and assertiveness, you also need to know how to convert videos from one format to another, thus ensuring that you remain grounded in your field. Click here to know how to convert Mkv to mp4.

If you become bored of taking wedding photography, consider doing sessions with families, influencers, or local businesses. You can also sell your pictures and earn small commissions.

3. Proofreading for clients

Do you have good writing and editing skills? Can you spot spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors easily and correct them? If so, consider taking up a role as a proofreader where you proofread documents for clients who lack the time or skill.

Proofreading is a perfect side hustle for women as the hours are often flexible, and it doesn’t require an English degree or certification. Plus, you do it remotely.

As a proofreader, you can proofread for businesses that publish newsletters, send emails, etc. And since most businesses have websites, you can help them fine-tune or proofread their blogs, newsletters, etc.

4. Teach students

Are you versed in a certain subject? Is it mathematics, English, physics, or something else? You can share your knowledge and make money in the process.

Tutoring is a good side hustle for women who love teaching. And if you boast the skills and experience, you can take up a role as an online tutor or teach physically and make extra bucks.

Of course, you’ll need to attract clients first to make money. So ensure you advertise your services around your area. You can also sign up with online platforms that match tutors like you with students needing your knowledge.

Conclusion

While these side hustles can help you make money, not all may be suited for you. So, while selecting, we recommend that you go for one that aligns with your passion. You must also note that none of these side hustles can make you money overnight. You must be willing to put in the work and stay patient.
