Here's a list of the best side hustles for introverts who want to make money at home.
By Jay Feldman, DO
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.
If you're anything like me, you're probably sick and tired of all of the gurus telling you how easy it is to make extra income from a side hustle. This isn't because those side hustles don't work, but they don't always provide the same successful outcome for everyone who tries them — especially introverts.
Since introverts are known to be reserved, quiet and thoughtful, the opportunity to earn some spare cash from side hustles remotely are perfect for them. Remote side hustles also provide introverts with the opportunity to make money on their own time without worry of a daily commute.
1. Freelance writing
Spending a few years freelancing to bulk up your writing portfolio of both clients and content can lead to a well-paying and flexible career.
Along with copywriting, blog writing and ghostwriting, finding a niche as a freelance writer for more technical pieces will allow you to charge clients more due to the dedication and focus they require. Sites like USA Wire will actually pay you to contribute content.
2. Graphic design
Many introverts who start dabbling in design — even if they haven't designed before — find they have a talent for it.
Tools like Canva can help you design infographics, email templates, fonts and more. Before getting started in graphic design, consider:
What kind of services you want to offer
Your target customer market(s) and pricing
Which software(s) you will use

3.
Web designEvery brand in today's world needs a website. Though building websites as a freelancer today is more challenging due to market saturation, it remains a strong side hustle option from the flexibility, creativity and control it provides.
Introverted web designers can set themselves apart from other web designers by becoming more talented in niche areas of web design, such as:
SEO optimization
Content strategy and creation
Copywriting
Social media management
Establishing pay-per-click advertising campaigns
4. Video editing
Video editing provides introverts with the freedom to create their own schedule and negotiate pricing with clients. Tools like Magisto and Splice make the video editing process much easier than in years past, too.
Here are just a handful of markets to give you some ideas on which to target for a video editing side hustle:
Conference videos
Explainer/educational videos
Marketing/promotional videos
Recorded presentations
Recorded speaking events
5.
Audio engineeringIf introverts have the essential tools at their disposal, they can quickly start offering audio engineering services like mixing, producing and tracking. Here are some things you need to do:
Create a studio in the quietest area of your home
Have a laptop with a strong processor
Install DAW software like Audacity or Garageband
Have a high-quality recording microphone
Have a MIDI controller or keyboard
Audio engineers also offer their produced soundtracks to other industries such as podcasters or stock audio platforms, and even earn money by streaming their music online through apps like Spotify or YouTube.
6. Social media management
Social media can be a very lucrative side hustle for introverts. The trick to making real money from managing social media as a side hustle lies in the power of networking.
As a social media manager, your time will mostly be spent managing clients' websites and social media accounts, approving comments and reviews and ensuring web pages are published on time.
Like many jobs and side hustles alike, the key to becoming a winning social media manager is being consistent in providing value.
7. Virtual assistant
Having a virtual assistant job as a side hustle entails routinely interfacing with only one other person. It can typically be done entirely remotely, too, making it more appealing to introverts.
Virtual assistants can expect to make between $10-20 per hour (depending on your employer) for a number of tasks like:
Reading/writing/responding to emails
Scheduling appointments
Managing calendars
Posting content on websites/social media
8. Taking surveys
There are plenty of legitimate ways to get paid by answering surveys, as many companies outsource survey agencies to gain insight on consumer behavior. Most pay between $0.50-2.00 per survey, and each one shouldn't take more than 5-15 minutes to complete.
9. Book reviews
Reading is a common hobby for many introverts, so why not get paid to read and review some books?
Some of the best sites to use to get paid for your reviews (and even get some free books) include:
BookBrowse
Booklist Online
Kirkus Reviews
If you already have an existing blog, you can also make money by writing sponsored posts or book reviews. If you have enough clients as a freelancer, you could also earn money as a freelance book reviewer.
10. Read emails
For introverts who shy away from the conversation, getting paid to read emails can end up being a dream side hustle.
Thankfully, there are now a ton of different sites you can sign up for that pay you to read other peoples' emails, including the following sites:
InboxDollars
MyPoints
Swagbucks
Vindale Research
For the more email-savvy introverts, inbox management is also a viable option.

11. Start a blog
Blogging is a great way to make money that requires minimal interaction with others. Monetizing your blog may take a few months to see its potential, but the ability to create a winning blog you can monetize lies in:
Creating quality content
Producing content that can be consistently consumed and shared
Partnering with advertisers to sell digital ad space on your blog
If you stick to this process, your blog can make money off the content you want to write.
12. Affiliate marketing
If you already have a strong following on Instagram, you can promote a brand's latest product or service. Each sale you facilitate earns you a portion of the sale.
The potential income you can make through affiliate marketing is virtually unlimited, depending on the size of your target audience and their buying trends as consumers.
13. House sitting
If you're looking to make money each month with almost no work or social interaction, becoming a professional house sitter may be your best bet.
As a house sitter, your mission is simple: stay at the client's residence and occupy it in their absence.
House sitting is a common need for homeowners who routinely leave town or travel. If a client's pet needs care, you can charge even more per day or week, depending on the client.
14. Podcasting
Starting a podcast as an introvert can prove to be a very lucrative side hustle depending on the topic(s) of audio content you produce, as well as the quality and consistency of that content.
Many podcasts are recorded solo, meaning introverts don't need to worry about outreach to potential interviewees. Instead, spend that time to learn about how you can best market your podcast, and to who.
15. Transcription
If you're an introvert with crazy-awesome typing skills, look into online transcriptions as a side hustle.
Transcriptionists convert audible conversations or content into typed documents. Today, everything from YouTube videos to legal proceedings requires transcription.
Transcriptionist work can pay very well for those with a knack for it, and most employer's transcription guidelines tend to follow the most basic transcription training courses, which you can easily find available for free online.
16. Dog walking
Let's be real: As an introvert, there are times when you will simply grow tired of dealing with other people. As a dog walker, the most interaction you'll have with other people is through the dog's owner.
Getting started as a dog walker is made even easier with apps like Rover or Wag. Depending on where/when/who you walk for, you can make between $15-30 for less than an hour of time that you spend walking!
17. Food delivery
Since the Covid-19 pandemic began, food delivery sales have been at an all-time high. For introverts with reliable transportation, this presents a great side hustle opportunity.
Becoming a designated driver for apps like DoorDash or Instacart offers ways to make extra money, including tips. Since the bulk of the work is driving, introverts may find this an appealing way to earn $10-15+ per hour, depending on where they live and the number of deliveries completed each day.
18. Day trading
The recent rise in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Dogecoin has seen millions become more aware of the earnings day trading can bring. However, trading on the stock, futures or foreign exchange market is where most day traders make their money.
According to one trading expert, the best trading times are when markets officially open and close (around 9:30am and 4:00pm) each day. Because the first hour of each day tends to be when trade prices are most volatile, trading at these times provides the best potential for profits.
Remember: you never lose money off of stocks you don't sell, you only lose money when you sell (rather than buy) during the dip.

It’s a misconception that being an introvert comes with drawbacks in the working world. In fact, do you know what Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and Mark Zuckerberg have in common?

Blogging is a great side hustle for introverts if you want to help others, have a lot to say, have helpful content on a specific niche, or topic but you don’t feel comfortable voicing them to an audience.
If you’re not keen on talking to people but you still have valuable insight that you want to share, starting a blog is a great way to get that done and reach the masses without directly dealing with the masses.
Interested in starting a blog?
Here are a couple of articles I’ve written about how to make money blogging:
- How To Start a Money Making Blog (Step By Step)
- How To Make Money Blogging For Beginners
Also, I took this blogging course that taught me how to make my first $1,000 from my blog. Immensely useful.
2.Self-PublishingDo you love writing, but not so much for freelance clients?
Have you got your own book you’ve dreamed of publishing? You can make money by publishing ebooks on Amazon.
You can write an ebook, and list it with websites like Payhip or Amazon and make money passively.
The best part?
You don’t have to worry about shipping, printing, or any of the nitty-gritty stuff.
If you’re interested in self-publishing with Amazon, I touch on it in my article, “How To Sell Short Stories For Money.”
3.Freelance WritingFreelance writing is in my opinion one of the best side jobs for introverts that love to write.
You can write anything from novels to blog posts, cookbooks, research papers, etc. depending on your client.
Some other categories that fall under freelance writing are:
- Copywriting
- Content writing
- Technical writing
- Ghostwriting
- Ebook writing
You can find freelance writing jobs on:
- Blogging Pro
- Problogger
- All Freelance Writing
- Upwork
- Fiverr
- Guru
If you have zero writing experience but you want to dive in headfirst, I have an in-depth articles about:
- How To Become A Freelance Writer With No Experience
- 21 Best Freelance Writing Websites To Get Paid For Beginners
- Freelance Writing For Beginners: 8 Steps To Land Your First Job In 2021
If you are having trouble knowing how to apply to freelance writing websites and how to come across as more experienced, so you can get paid higher.
I can recommend a super-duper freelance writing course I took, which helped me land 3 new clients in 3 weeks.
I spent ages googling FREE information and googling articles (like you are doing now). I needed to keep my costs down as I wasn’t being paid for my writing just yet.
But I got sick of reading conflicting or confusing information and took the freelance writing course. It taught me how to pitch to new clients and come across as experienced. Just look at this review:
I also learned how to set up a freelance writing website, where to find jobs, and what to charge.
The Write to $1k course has a 30-day template you just need to follow to get to your first $1k from writing.
If you are ever going to invest in one writing course – please let it be this one. It’s the most useful thing you can do if you want to know how to be a freelance writer with no experience.
There is no way you will finish the 30 days and not win a new client. Her training is THAT good. And I am not making this up, because I took the course myself.
4.Greeting Card WriterMore interested in writing short and witty or heartwarming little nuggets?
Why not become a greeting card writer? Your job will be to come up with short sentences and phrases to put into cards.
It’s as easy as that.
Sign up to one of the websites below and create heart warming and unique cards for the people of the world:
- Blue Mountain Arts
- Calypso Cards
- Noble Works
- Oatmeal Studios
- Shade Tree Greetings
If you’ve got an eye for detail, you can make money as a proofreader or editor.
Proofreading is essentially reviewing written documents for punctuation, grammar, and spelling errors. You don’t even have to make the changes, just point them out.
But if you want to make the changes, you can charge extra for that service and voila, you are an editor.
I’ve got some great posts to help you get started on your proofreading and editing journey:
- How to Become an Proofreader for Beginners
- How to Become a Freelance Proofreader with No Experience
And if you’re on the hunt for proofreading and editing jobs, have a look at these websites:

If you are looking for a proofreading course that will take you from Zero to certified proofreader, this is the comprehensive proofreading course I took.
Also, here is a FREE workshop that will teach you how to become an online proofreader!
6. Online Survey TakerI think being an online survey taker can be considered one of the easy side hustles for single moms.
Why?
Because they take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes at best and that means you can cram as many surveys as possible in the little time you have.
And bonus points for introverts because this requires zero human interaction.
Here are some reliable companies that will pay you to complete surveys:
- Paribus
- Shopkick
- Neilsen Computers
- Survey Junkie
- Inbox Dollars
- Pincone Research
- Vindale Research
- Swagbucks
Looking for side hustle ideas for introverts?
Anyone can do this, the concept is simple: “buy low” from stores or websites and resell items for a higher rate.
Flea market flipping is the art of finding items that no one else sees value in and selling them for a profit.
Some websites to consider if you want to sell your flipped items online are:
- eBay
- Facebook Marketplace
- Etsy
- Craigslist
- Offer Up
- Oodle
- uBid
I wrote this guide on flea market flipping:
- Flea Market Flipping: An Ultimate Guide To Making Money From Reselling Old Items
Also, if you are looking for a flea market flipping course, Flippers University was created by Rob & Melissa.
A couple that used to use their earnings from flipping as their “fun money” for things such as vacations, the holiday seasons, birthdays, and unexpected bills (not fun per se but necessary).
Rob & Melissa took their flipping side hustle from $42K part-time job to $133K full-time job and they haven’t looked back since.
You can learn about their flipping course here.
flea market flipping8. Online Course Instructor or TutorYou may not think being an online course instructor could be one of the best side hustles for working moms but hear me out.
If you have valuable information then you can package that up into a course, make a few videos and sell your course online.
That’s a great way to generate extra and passive income. If you’re not sure where to create and sell your online course, I recommend Thinkific and Teachable.
For all you working moms and introverts that don’t mind a bit of one-on-one, teaching online or tutoring is also a great side hustle for introverts.
Don’t worry if you haven’t got any experience, you can read these articles to help you get started:

Here are some websites to help get you started:

Now, this is a game-changer and definitely one of the best side hustles for college students who love to game.
If you spend your time gaming, why not make some money out of it, am I right?
Companies like Mistplay let you earn points for playing video games. You can redeem those points for gift cards or a Visa gift card.
Don’t worry, there are companies that will pay you real cash to play video games too.
Swagbucks, InboxDollars, and Point Club are a few of them.
10. Open POD ShopsPOD stands for Print on Demand.
Print-on-demand is a type of service where you upload designs to a website and then people purchase these digital files.
You don’t have to interact with anyone!
They make the purchase and receive a downloadable file of your design and you get to keep the money.
Printables fall under this category. I first learned about creating printables to sell on Etsy after taking this epic course.
The course instructor makes six figures from her printables sales! Isn’t that just wild?
If you want to learn how to make money selling printables on Etsy, I’ve got just the article for you: Selling Printables on Etsy: An Epic Guide to Make you Passive Income
11. Pet sitter/Dog WalkerMore of an animal person than a people person?
Then this is a great job for you. Did you know that taking care of someone’s pampered fur-baby can prove to be a lucrative business?
You can become a pet sitter or dog walker and get paid to care for animals with these websites:
- Rover
- Wag
- Petsitter
- Pawshake
Are you a crafty person? Why not turn your hobby or talent into a side hustle and get some cash out of it?
Opening an Etsy is completely free and it’s great because your products get listed in the marketplace for the whole world to see.
We’re talking about almost 30 million active buyers on the website.
Intrigued? Here are some articles to help you get started:

Alternatively, you can also check out this free Etsy Ebook that will share a list of best-selling products by month and teach you how to capitalize on seasonal trends to make sales.
13. Get Paid To Test Products At HomeCompanies will send you free products to test out and all you have to do is share your opinion on them and get paid for it.
I know, it sounds too good to be true but it’s a real thing!
You use the products (which are then yours to keep -sometimes you get them for half-price if you don’t want to return them) and then get paid for sharing your thoughts.
Testing products at home is one of the more practical side hustles for working moms. You can choose items that make your life easier and save money.
Companies like Opinion Inn and brands benefit from valuable feedback on upcoming, unreleased products.
14. Make Money While You’re Watching TVMake money watching TV? Did someone say side hustles for girls night?
Grab your friends and spend some time together AND make money at the same time.
Survey Junkie and InboxDollars (you even get paid $5 just for signing up) are some of the companies that will pay you to watch TV and answer a few questions after.
Another company that will pay you to watch TV?
Netflix. Netflix hires people called ‘taggers’ to binge watch shows and give feedback on them. You don’t get to pick what you watch but I mean I’m not complaining.
As you can imagine, this job is pretty sought after, so keep an eye out for this vacancy.
15. Website DeveloperAre you a techie? Do you know code or have you got an eye for design and functionality?
In today’s day and age, this is a coveted skill to have and it can earn you decent money. You can work as a website developer, coder, UX designer, etc., and work from the comfort of your home.
Looking for jobs as a website developer?
These job boards are often filled with numerous website developing related vacancies:

Dreaming of becoming a Web developer?

There’s something cathartic about driving around and being with your thoughts.
With apps like Lyft or Postmates you can drive around and become a delivery driver and make money doing it.
You don’t have to worry about making awkward small-talk conversations with passengers and you don’t necessarily need a car either.
You can place deliveries if you have a scooter, motorbike, bicycle, rollerblades, skateboard, and even on foot!
If you’re interested in making money as a delivery person for Postmates, I’ve got just the article for you: How to Make $200 a Day with Postmates
Looking for companies just like Postmates?
Here are a few options for you to consider:
- Uber Eats

- Grubhub
On today’s list of side hustles for introverts, we also have one that fits perfectly under the category of side hustles for single moms.
You have to grocery shop anyways, right? Why not do some shopping for other people while you’re at it and get paid for it?
Companies like Instacart offer a delivery service that focuses on shopping deliveries.
They have two categories of workers:
- A Full-Service Shopper
- In-Store Shopper
Full-Service Shoppers have to shop and deliver goods to the customer and In-Store Shoppers are people who work part-time in stores.
This means that you’re solely responsible for the shopping and not the delivery.
Depending on your location, you can make around $9 to $18 per hour working with Instacart.
18. Virtual AssistantA virtual assistant does everything a regular in-person assistant does but virtually.
This is great if you’re an introvert because a lot of your correspondences will be through email and online, so you don’t have the stress of being surrounded by co-workers.
Don’t worry if you haven’t got any experience, here’s an article to help you become a VA without any experience.
And if you’re all set but you’re not too sure where to find VA jobs, here are a few websites to get you started:
- VA Networking
- Zirtual
- Boldly
- Assistant Match
- Fancy Hands
If you are looking for guidance on how to become a virtual assistant with no experience, I recommend either of these two courses :
- The 10k VA course
- The Virtual Savvy System
The 10k VA course was created by Kayla Sloan, a Virtual Assistant that consistently earns more than $10,000 per month.
Alternatively, the The Virtual Savvy System by Abbey , is equally amazing.
Her course has 14 modules which include how to set up your website, pitch templates and access to a VA community.
Alternatively, here is a FREE virtual assistant workshop that teaches you all the skills you need to start!
19. Sell Stock PhotosDo you love photography? Or do you just have that touch and take great shots?
You can start a side hustle by selling stock photos online.
This is one of the easiest and no fuss side hustles for introverts because it’s just you, your camera and the platform you choose to sell your photos on.
The most common way that you can earn cash selling stock photos is through a membership on a website.
You simply have to create an account, sign up, and upload your photos.
Here are a few websites that allow you to sell your photos online:
- Bigstock
- iStockPhoto
- Dreamstime
- Shutterstock
- 123RF

20. TranscriptionIf you’ve got mad typing skills and you’re an introvert, then becoming a transcriptionist is the perfect side hustle for you to pick up.
Zero human interaction and it’s a pretty simple job.
A transcriptionist or transcriber turns audio files into written documents. You can get paid to transcribe podcasts, YouTube videos or any kind of audio recording.
There are 3 transcription work categories:
- General
Think business meetings, interviews, lectures, radio shows, podcasts, videos, etc. - Medical
- Legal
Online transcriptionist jobs can pay well and you don’t need a ton of experience to get started.
And bonus points if you’re in med school -according to Neuvoo, medical transcriptionists can earn up to $41,477 a year.
Talk about great side hustles for medical students.
Here are some websites that regularly hire transcriptionists:
- Quick Note Typing
- Quicktate
- Scribie

For more of the best transcription courses out there, have a look at my article, “Best Transcription Courses.”
I’ve tried each of these courses and can guarantee that they are worth every penny.
21. ScopingThink of scoping as a mashup of transcription work and editing. Scoping is when you get paid to edit transcripts of official court proceedings.
How does it work?
When a court reporter takes down notes of a proceeding in shorthand, a scopist then takes that document and translates that shorthand into a proper written document.
Scoping is a specialized form of transcription and the top scopists earn close to $60,000 a year on average.
Sign up to Scope School to learn the art of scoping straight from the professionals.
22. Get Paid to Read BooksImagine being curled up in a chair with a warm cup of tea, snuggled up in a blanket and a good book in hand.

This is where you come in; if you don’t mind reading emails and decluttering inboxes then you can earn some decent money doing it.
There are a ton of sites that will pay you to read emails, here are a few of them:
- InboxDollars

26. House CleaningI love a good clean -especially when I’ve got music in and a broom to dance with.
If you like to clean and you’re an introvert then maybe you should consider picking up house cleaning as a side hustle.
But what about the people in the house?
Well, you know what they say, “there’s nothing better than coming home to a clean house.”
Most house cleaning jobs take place when the home owners are at work, so you don’t have to worry about making awkward small-talk.

Side Hustles for Introverts (That Will Make You A Ton Of CashTop 10 Jobs for Introverts: Recruiter's Tips
If you're an introvert, you probably have a very different idea of your dream job than most people around you. Why the majority? Because there are only a third of people like you in society, say American psychologists Kroeger and Tusen in their book On Personality Type. What job suits you best? We asked an expert in the field HR.

in those professional areas that require overcoming the introversion of character.
What kind of activities can be considered the most comfortable for an introvert? Definitely those that minimize the need for interaction (personal or telephone) with unfamiliar or unfamiliar people. Crossing the threshold of a new office, getting used to the company's staff, creating a familiar daily routine for yourself, albeit with deadlines and hands-on jobs, but not requiring interaction with strangers, is one of the most acceptable options. Introverts are less likely to change jobs, because it is quite difficult to independently initiate a change in the usual rhythm of life. nine0007
We have compiled a list of the best jobs in which an introvert can prove himself without the need for active interaction with the outside world:
1. Work at home . This includes absolutely any area of professional activity, the main thing is that a person who is accustomed to reducing communication with others to a minimum can communicate with these others, but in a familiar and comfortable environment. As they say, houses and walls help. You can communicate with clients or customers by e-mail or, in extreme cases, by phone. However, the familiar home environment in this case minimizes the stress factor. Another thing is that not all people (regardless of personality type) have the level of self-organization necessary to work at home. nine0007
2. Copywriting, rewriting, blogging, writing . Introverts are creative people. Each person has a need for self-expression, a desire to be heard, but it is often easier for introverts to convey their thoughts in writing than when communicating with an audience “live”.
3. Working with databases . There are a number of organizations where much attention is paid to filling in internal databases and updating the information contained in them. The work is mechanical and requires a high concentration of attention, but it minimizes the need to interact with external sources of information. nine0007
4. Analytics . In fact, in any field of activity, an important block is occupied by analytics - marketing, sales, finance, logistics. If you are interested in a specific professional area, you can delve into the analytics of this department - work on the fundamental tasks of analyzing external and internal factors and indicators, as well as developing strategies for bringing the direction to a qualitatively new level. The work is algorithmized, but not without a creative component. nine0007
5. Accounting . It is considered one of the most standardized professions. Key actions are determined by accounting and are clearly regulated by law. It should be noted that at the same time, work in the field of accounting is, in principle, associated with a high level of stress, in addition, there are a number of areas that require constant involvement in interaction with external contractors and services (suppliers, contractors, banks, tax, audit companies).
6. IT . Perhaps everyone is familiar with jokes about IT professionals living in their own world and communicating with others in the language of numbers and codes. All this forms a certain idea of the profession as a whole. For an introvert, IT specializations can be an excellent professional outlet, and most importantly, interesting, as well as highly paid. It should also be noted here that the IT sphere is very versatile: there is a support service for external and internal users (especially the first line of support), system administrators, external consultants who are in constant and often emergency interaction with the customer. nine0007
7. Laboratory . A concept that is also associated with various fields of activity - a research laboratory can be at some scientific department, or it can be located in a medical institution. In any case, the flow of information from the outside world comes in the form of data or materials that need to be studied.
8. Scientific activities . In general, the item is quite similar to the previous one, but can be associated with a large external interaction (for example, sociological or psychological research). nine0007
9. Technological specializations. Chemists-technologists, process engineers, technical specialists are in great demand in production. These are people who develop new recipes, control the quality of incoming raw materials, own the methodology for processing products, analyze the results, the causes of defects. In some cases, such activities involve communication with suppliers or customers, require product presentations, but in most cases, the work involves the algorithmization of the creative process within a manufacturing enterprise. nine0007
10. Art. As mentioned earlier, creative activity for an introvert is a way of self-expression and communication with the outside world, so any creative undertaking, if desired, can be developed into a profession.
One way or another, introversion is neither a diagnosis nor an indicator. Yes, it will not be easy for a person who is not prone to regular active communication to work at the reception, in the customer or user support service, make cold calls and sell products or services. But "difficult" does not mean "impossible"! Don't push yourself too hard, there are many positive examples of introverts who have made careers in law, HR, sales, PR, and marketing. The main thing is an interest in a certain field of activity and the ability to work on oneself, to engage in self-development. nine0007
After all, introverts are not people who can't communicate, introverts are people who can do without it.
