Hey guys I'm MQ Khan and welcome back to my blog as I already mentioned in today's article, we're going to be talking about six online side hassles that you can start making money from.

I know that there are so many websites that give you hundreds of side hustle ideas but the problem is that those side hustles are not great and they don't work. 

So, I'm writing this article to explain to you the side hustles that work and give you some tips to start those side hustles if you're a teenager. 

If you like this article then give a thumbs up and share this article with friends as well. Also, tell us all in the comments how old are you?  So, let's start with the article below:

Best Side Hustles for Teenagers

1. Become a Social Media Influencer

On my list is becoming a social media influencer this is the first side hustle that I suggest for all 16-year-old teenagers and it can turn out into a full-time job for them later. I've mentioned the social media business a lot on my blogs and I wanted to include it in this article as well just because it's one of the greatest opportunities right now for teenagers.

Social media is taking all over the world and there are so many opportunities as well as platforms where you can start growing your accounts. Some examples of social media platforms where you can start growing right now are TikTok, Instagram YouTube, Snapchat, and Twitch.

For example, if you're into gaming and you play a lot during your free time why not start live streaming on Twitch. I know a lot of you are thinking that it's so hard to grow on these platforms right now and I would agree with you but all those social media influencers that you see today did not start growing right away.

Everyone starts from zero but those people that make it showtime commitment and consistency there is also an aspect of luck involved but it's with any other profession as well. If you want to get into your dream job, you'll still have to show time commitment consistency and you have to be lucky, the same thing applies here.

So, if you start the social media business don't think that you can start growing from day one the great thing about social media is that if you become successful it becomes extremely rewarding. There are so many influencers that you know that make millions of dollars on each of these platforms that I've mentioned.

When you start growing on social media you can start making money from ads from brand partnerships or even selling your products to your audience. It's so easy to become famous in this day and age just because before you had to be a singer or an actor for you to be famous but now you can grow on any of these platforms become famous and gain millions of fans.

2. become a Social Media Manager

If becoming famous and putting yourself out there isn't for you but you still love social media then the second side hustle must be for you and the second side hustle on my list is becoming a social media manager. If you're asking what social media the manager even does?

Let me tell you as you know most small and large businesses are on social media today trying to market themselves to people most of those business owners are 40, 50 years old, or even older, and they may not be as social media savvy as you could be.

So, a lot of those businesses search for people that can manage their social media platforms and those owners realize that the best people to hire for this position are teenagers that use social media every single day. if this side hustle is interesting for you there are a couple of ways that you can go about finding clients. 

You can either go on websites where these businesses post their positions asking for help or you can reach out to small local businesses and offer your services.

You can try to find your local businesses on social media and see if they're growing on it or not. If you see that one of those businesses is not using social media effectively and you think you'll do a better job you can reach out to the owner or go into the shop and offer your service.

Some so many teenagers became successful as social media managers by starting to manage small local businesses.

3. Become an Online Freelancer

Side hustle number three on my list is becoming an online freelancer. A freelancer is a person who charges for a task or a job that they complete online. 

An example of a freelancer could be if you're good at graphic design and you can create logos or thumbnails for YouTubers then you can start offering your services online.

Become an Online Freelancer

There are so many websites like Fiverr or Upwork where you can create your account for people to find you. Some of these websites require you to be at least 13 years old while others require you to be 18. So, there's an opportunity for you as a teenager to find a website that suits you.

I only brought up an example of graphic design but there are so many other skills that you could have that you could also offer to people. Some of the skills that are popular and offered on these websites are so easy to learn too. 

if you want me to write a separate article on easy skills that you can learn right away and start making money on then let me know in the comments below.

4. Become an Online Tutor

Side hustle number four on my list is becoming an online tutor. if you're already helping your friends with their homework or checking their essays there could be ways that you could be making money online by helping other people too.

Become an Online Tutor

You can start tutoring the people that you already know and you can find more students on different forums or there are so many websites that are looking for online tutors. If you're great at subjects like maths physics or languages then this side hustle must be great for you.

5. Start a Blog

Side hustle number five on my list is starting a blog. A blog is essentially a website that you can create and start writing articles about topics that are interesting to you. The topics can include business, fitness, gaming, or anything that you want to talk about. It takes some time to build content for your blog and your website to appear on Google search.

Start a Free Blog

If you've always been into writing and want to commit to your blog then this side hustle could be very rewarding for you. When your website starts getting views you can make money through Google AdSense as well as posting affiliate links to your blog and even selling your products. I have a quick question if you were to start a blog what topic would you choose? Let me know in the comments box.

6. Resell on Amazon FBA

Last but not least side hustle number six is reselling through Amazon FBA as well as other relevant websites. For this business, you would have to go to discount stores like Tj Maxx, and Marshalls or go to Chinese websites like Alibaba and buy products that you think you could flip for a higher price.

Resell on Amazon FBA

For example, let's say that you go to a discount store and find an umbrella that costs only ten dollars and then you go to Amazon and see that the same umbrella costs forty dollars there. So, what you can do is buy that umbrella for ten dollars and then list it on Amazon and sell it for forty dollars so that leaves you with a thirty-dollar profit.

Of course, Amazon charges you a small fee to go through the whole process but you're still going to end up with a lot of money honestly. This can go with any product of your choice just make sure that it's relevant and then go find it at a discount rate and resell it.

So, these were the six side hustles that I know will be suitable for all Teenagers.
