5 Lazy Girl Side Hustles — How I Made $15,000+ Last Month

Lazy girl (or lazy guy) side hustles are the kind of gigs that don’t require a lot of work to keep up with. Just my cup of tea!
Every side hustle or money-making opportunity available doesn’t have to involve tons of work. Many that do involve a lot of work aren’t worth it and those that are, can’t be sustainable for many people over the long run.
This is where lazy side hustles come into play.
I’m going to share 5 lazy side hustles I do, that helped drop over $15K into my bank account last month!

5 Money-Making Lazy Side Hustles Most People Can Do!
These aren’t for everyone but, they can work well for a lot of people. Here they are…
1. Platform Writing
First up is platform writing. This is what it sounds like, writing for platforms, like Medium, Newsbreak, etc.
I’m a fan of working with platforms because the pay schedule is consistent. You might not make the same amount every month but, if you’re producing, you’ll likely earn every month, same time each month.
This can be far different from working with clients, who may pay late, pay inconsistently, and sometimes make you feel like you’re jumping through hoops chasing the money.
My platforms: Medium, Newsbreak.
Other writing platforms where you can get paid to write: Hubpages, Wattpad Creator Program
2. Content Creation
As a content creator, I make money from various sources like brand deals, sponsored links, etc.
Other ways creators can earn include:
- Ads
- Sidebar advertisements
- Newsletter subscriptions
- Affiliate marketing
- UGC
I’m in around half a dozen creator programs for content creation at the moment, including Medium and Newsbreak I shared above. I’m in 3 or 4 creator programs with TikTok alone:
- TikTok Work with Artists
- TikTok Creativity Beta
- TikTok Creative Challenges
- TikTok Creator Marketplace
I’ve been in Snapchat Spotlight and Pinterest Creator Rewards, too!
3. Affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketing is a way to make money passively. Refer affiliate products and earn money today, tomorrow, and in the future.
For example, today I got paid almost $800 from one affiliate program!
This payment is for referrals I made last month and the month before. It was from a blog post I wrote about the product.

Here’s my free ebook on affiliate marketing which talks more about how it works, how to make money from it, getting started, and more.
I make money from blog posts, my emails, and social networks like TikTok, Pinterest, and others.
This is a fun side hustle that can be done on your time, when you want.
Work on this for a few hours after work or on the weekends, when you have a spare moment, here and there.
It’s one of the best high-income side hustles that exist and people do affiliate marketing full-time as their career, as well, earning an average of nearly $180K/year!
4. Digital products
Courses, ebooks, templates, e-guides, digital planner, there are so many different kinds of digital products you can create to earn money.
Here are some examples from Gumroad…

And, here are my products on Gumroad:

I can write an ebook now in a few hours and have it ready for publishing, same day! I’ve created digital products in a weekend before, too.
If you’re good at something or have knowledge on a topic, teach what you know to others and monetize your knowledge and skillset!
Gumroad is one of the platforms I work on. Here are my all-time Gumroad sales…

Digital products are easier to create than you might think. You can do it with all free tools too.
- Canva
- Google Docs or Google Sheets
- Gumroad (free to join and they take a percentage of sales)
5. Website flipping
Build a site, sell a site, profit.
Last month, I sold a starter site that took me an hour or a few hours to create for $150. For an hour of work, that’s $150/hour! For 2 hours of work, $75/hour!
I’ve made six figures flipping websites.
It’s a skill I taught myself and I love that I can put it into play whenever I want, to earn some extra money on the side.
It’s not uncommon to sell a new site for $300, $400, $800 each!
If this is interesting to you, my website flipping ebook is perfect for beginners who want to learn website flipping.
Read my website flipping stories here on Medium to learn more about my journey with flipping sites and teaching others how to do the same!
There you go!
Doing a combination of the above, I brought in over $15K last month! That was despite losing a $1,500/month client!
I love having multiple income streams.
