Highest Paying Side Hustles You Can Do During Coronavirus
What if I were to tell you that there are several ways you can start a side hustle, even during a crisis economy?
What if I told you it will pay more than your regular job did?
It's the truth! You can absolutely make money right now, even amidst a pandemic that may just have you saying, "Peace out," to your regular job. Why? Because most side hustles pay more, especially the ones I share with you in this video. If you’re more of a reader boss babe, I have it laid out for you right here. So, stick around to the very end, because it may just change your life and your perspective. Stop being run by fear and start being powered by faith and action as well. We’re doing this!
I'm going to break down the top three highest paying jobs beauticians like you can create for yourself in this crisis economy.
Side Hustle #1: Beauty Maintenance Kits
I know not all of you can see your clients right now and do their hair, makeup, brows, whatever it might be, but it doesn't mean you can't take care of them. Right now, my suggestion would be to take ownership of that specific part of your client's beauty regimen. Whether it's her hair, her skin, her nails—she trusts you with it! You are her guide when it comes to it.
So for example, if you do her hair, give her a call and say, "Hey girl, how's your hair doing? How's it going? Can I send you some products? What do you need?" I'm sure she's dying to see you, and I'm sure she would gladly purchase some sort of maintenance kit that will help carry her through until she sees you again.
What about if you do waxing? I'm sure your girls are FREAKING OUT right now because they've never been hairier, and their partners are probably freaking out too. You’re a beauty expert, right? Pandemic or not, you're still a beauty expert.
Get in touch with your clients, lead them to freedom.
Give them the tools they need for in-between appointments. It could even be a tutorial for how to do it yourself, a shaving kit, or a trimming guide. They'll never be able to do it like you. Right now, this might be a side hustle for you putting together mini beauty kits for your clients. They're going to appreciate you so much, and they will never want to let you go. They won't ever want to go to anybody else because you cared for them through a crisis.
Let's say you have 100 clients and say, for example, 60 of them purchase a kit for $47. That's $2,820 just like that! Once they run out of product, they're going to need it again, and next time, they might even tell their friends. Before you know it, you might have a beauty kit side hustle that is now a main hustle. Ever heard of beauty bucks? That’s what it is.
Side Hustle #2: Beauty Consultations
Everybody is aching to get back into a salon. All the blondes are turning brunette, nails are chipping off and our complexions need exfoliating—there is a serious need for that exhibit A.
Side Note: If you've been a good little citizen staying at home, I just want to know, what beauty treatment do you miss the most? Tell me in the comments, is it facials, massages, getting your makeup done professionally? I miss all of those things! Tell me in the comments so I don't feel like I'm alone.
Yes, there's still a desperate need for beauty experts. Answer that need, and you can totally do it virtually too. Virtual anything is going up right now. The beauty entrepreneurs who will learn how to pivot their business and offerings to fit the times are going to thrive during this season. That one mindset shift will create the haves and the have-nots. I would personally gladly pay $50 of my hard-earned money for a beauty expert to just teach me how to temporarily cover my roots. I'm sure several others have this pain point as well. Where you guys at?
What about my aestheticians? Where are my aesthie girls? We need you! We are looking drier and more raisin-y as each day of quarantine passes. Tell us what to do, what to use. With that said, aesthie girls, why don't you market yourself as a virtual beauty consultant? Start with your existing clients, and who knows how it can grow from there! Remember when I said that this could technically pay more than your regular job? Have you done the math? No product, just consultations. $50 for half an hour on FaceTime, plus product. That's basically $100 an hour if you have two back-to-back consultations, plus product. And you did it in your pajamas! You didn't spend extra money on gas and expensive Starbucks, et cetera, et cetera.
Okay. This last one is probably my favorite one of all, because it's something I'm super passionate about. I've been doing it for two years.
Side Hustle #3: Online Courses
I've been in the industry for ten years, but I've been doing online courses for two years. The truth is, e-learning is the future.
E-learning is actually so yesterday, like where are you at? You are late to the party if you don't have an online course yet. Totally.
No, I'm just kidding. You're not too late. Actually, now is the best time to start an online business and get into e-learning.
Why?
Number one, it has never been cheaper. Websites, logos, PR, anything that has to do with growing your online business is on sale right now.
Another reason is that it's hugely profitable. Even now, amidst a pandemic, I have friends who are having record sales, like multiple six figure sales. It's so weird to say that it has a lot to do with the fact that people are stuck at home with nothing to do, but it’s true.
They want to utilize their time by bettering themselves on the internet. Cash in on that!
E-learning is said to be a $4 billion industry by year 2026. You can look that up. I'll bet that number is going to be even higher due to COVID-19. I hate to say it, but this pandemic is just kind of speeding things up, but it's speeding things up in the way we need it to go anyway. We need it to modernize. People are just realizing it sooner.
Which reminds me, if you ever thought about creating an online course, but maybe you don't know whether or not you're good enough or if your course idea sucks, or if it's too expensive to start another business, it's not as difficult as you might think.
