4 No Website Needed Ways To Make An Extra $10000 This Year Tres Fleek

Wanna start a side hustle that’s not only easy to get off the ground but brings in cash money from Day 1 so you can have the funds to go after an even bigger, bolder goal? Or maybe you’re on a mission to start saving up for your dream vacay or paying off high-interest debt, but you need a bit of extra moolah to get you there.

No matter the end goal, we know you have a burning desire to start something major. You wouldn’t be hanging out at TresFleek.com if you didn’t. And that’s why you’re friggin’ awesome. But you’re starting to feel like a raging failure for not having fulfilled that dream. If only you knew how to get started…

No anxiety. No overwhelming feelings. Just tons of ass-kicking.

We get it.

It’s tough to go from idea to execution. And we know that doing so can require a big investment of time and money, two things you may not have a ton of right now.

Sadly, most people with grand ideas end up with dreams that stay dreams. It’s far from uncommon. And you’re probably a bit embarrassed to admit that you can relate.

You think you need to have so much in place before you can get going, yet days of inaction turn into weeks and months, and your ideas never end up getting off the ground.

“If only I had a website”, you think to yourself. “Or a professional photographer to put together a makeup and styling portfolio. Or the funds to take out a full-page ad in the local newspaper.”

Time passes, the list of excuses grows longer, and you remain stuck at square one.

But what if we told you you need a lot less than you think to get started?

Or, better yet, what if we didn’t just tell you but actually showed you?

Well, that’s exactly what we’ve done below.

How do we plan on helping you with that, you ask?

Now, contrary to most advice out there, we’re not going to tell you to “jump right in” and “take the bull by the horns”.

Why?

Because, well, both of those things sound like they hurt (ouch!). Not to mention they lead to tons of failure and lots of disappointment. [Sick of failure and disappointment? Join our mailing list to get your FREE copy of The Trés Fleek Guide To Crushing Your Goals]

You see, when you “jump right in” without breaking your goal down into a set of smaller and simpler milestones, you are unknowingly setting yourself up for failure. 

Think about it: like a coffee high, you’re super excited in the beginning…but then crash in the end when your initial excitement wears off and the going gets tough. You start to realize that it’s not as easy as you thought it would be. And then…you give it up altogether.

That’s probably not how you want this story to end.

We’re here to make it easy on ya, okay?

We’ve compiled a list of possible side hustles, each with a dip-your-toe-in-to-see-if-it-works action plan, that will have you earning $800-$1,000+ per month real quick. And we’ve laid it all out for you below in steps that are as straightforward, easy, and cheap as possible.

No anxiety. No overwhelming feelings. Just tons of ass-kicking.

So what do you say? Are you ready to build an empire that generates cashola pronto?

Who are we kidding? Of course you are! Let’s get started.

1. Personal Concierge

Have a reliable car? Know your town/city like the back of your hand? Always able to get your own errands done quickly and hassle-free?


Then you, my dear, could make a great personal concierge.

What does a personal concierge do? Anything and everything, really. Some personal concierges specialize in things like grocery shopping or laundry pick-up and delivery services. But you can also start as a generalist and decide to pick a focus area later on (if ever). Consider offering standing-in-line services (it may sound strange, but it’s something people are willing to pay for), travel research and booking services, weekend babysitting, package pick-up, or even housesitting. Don’t be afraid to use your creativity to brainstorm the endless possibilities here.

This side hustle is typically targeted at wealthy working parents or busy executives who need a personal assistant but for one reason or another don’t have one. Having someone part-time gets them the help they need without breaking the bank.

How to find customers

Try Craigslist, Facebook groups, TaskRabbit, fitness centers in the business district of your city, nail salons, daycares…the list goes on and on!

A simple flyer placed at a gym’s front desk, at a daycare’s entrance, or on a bulletin board at a golf club can generate a ton of leads fast. Trying reaching out to your local chamber of commerce or business groups also. They have tons of connections and may even allow you to pitch your services at one of their meetings. Score!

As with all new businesses, don’t be too shy to ask your friends and family if they know of anyone in need of your help. More often than not, they just might!

How much to charge

The world is your oyster here. According to Snagajob.com, the average personal concierge makes $13 per hour, though certain services can have a much higher rate. If you charge $20/hour and work 10 hours per week, this will earn you a cool $800 per month.

 

An important note about what to charge:

The rate above is just an average rate and just within the US. Depending on where in the world you live, the market rate for your services could be much higher–or lower–than this. To set a reasonable price (and not undersell yourself), do some investigating first: see what others are charging for similar services before settling on a price.

2. Small Business Social Media Consultant

Do you live, breathe, and dream about social media? Do you know how to craft the perfect Instagram caption that is certain to get hundreds of likes? Can you put together a Snapchat story that will keep people coming back for more?


Then it sounds like being a Small Business Social Media Consultant is right up your alley. And in this digital day and age, your skills are in high demand.

What does a Small Business Social Media Consultant do?  Well, according to the Small Business Administration, there are over 28 million small businesses in the U.S. Of those small businesses, many do not have the budget to hire full-time staff or even boutique marketing agencies to help them manage their online presence.

That’s when your fly self walks in to the rescue offering your social media services.

The small businesses win because they get an expert to help them land more customers and share their stories, and you win because you get moolah for doing what you already love to do.

Ka-ching!

How to find customers

Look around your neighborhood. What businesses are nearby? Check to see if they have a social media presence. If they don’t, or if theirs could use some serious work, pitch them your services.

You can also find customers on sites like Craigslist, Yelp, and Alignable. Or, better yet, start with your social circle. Do the companies where your friends work need help? Ask around and see what you uncover.

 

How exactly do you get them to see what a social media whiz you are? Your own personal social media accounts can serve as proof that you’ll be able to build an audience of loyal customers for them.

How much to charge

Social media consultants typically charge between $25 – $300+ per hour. The higher the dollar amount, the higher their experience. But, as we mentioned earlier, it’s important to check market rates in your area so you don’t work for less than you’re worth (and we know you’re worth it!).

 

By working just 10 hours per week at $30 per hour, you can pull in a cool $1,200 per month. Not too shabby.

3. Beauty and Fashion Consultant

Are you constantly being complimented for your awesome makeup application? Do people wonder how you put such fashion-forward outfits together? Do you give people hair envy because yours is always on fleek?

Then you should consider being a Beauty and Fashion Consultant.

What does a Beauty and Fashion Consultant do? Quite simply, they help people look and feel their best. By working with clients one-on-one or in small groups, Beauty and Fashion Consultants help people achieve their style and beauty goals. Many consultants specialize in a particular area such as wedding makeup, special occasion hair styling, maternity wardrobe, or menswear (just to name a few).

Those are just examples, of course. The best way to find your niche in this area is to let your passion be your guide.

How to find customers

Start by networking with people already providing complementary services for your potential clients (think wedding planners, private party consultants, high-end men’s warehouses, personal trainers, divorce attorneys (yes, people going through a divorce frequently want to kickstart their next chapter with a fresh makeover)).

To get started, especially when you don’t have a huge portfolio of work to share, you must be a walking, talking testimonial of your talent:

You can’t have a bad hair day.
You can’t walk out of the house in sweats wearing socks with sandals and looking like a hot mess.

Because you don’t have a website to showcase your work just yet, YOU need to be an example of your work.

How much to charge

The average independent beauty consultant makes about $30 per hour (remember, that’s on average and in the US). If you work a mere 10 hours per week (the equivalent of working 2 weddings per weekend), you can rack up a cool $1,200 per month without much of a sweat…or even a website.

4. Copywriter/Editor

With the emergence of video, many people feared that the written word would eventually die. Instead, it’s the exact opposite.

The demand for the written word is higher than ever. Why?

Well, because people who hate video would rather read the transcript. And people who can’t watch videos while at work choose to read blog posts instead.

If you’re good with words, like to edit other people’s writing, and can crank out lots of high quality content, this may be your best way to earn some green this year.

What does a Copywriter/Editor do? Put simply, copywriters write words and editors make sure those words make sense. Some copywriters choose to specialize in a particular industry while others write on a wide range of topics.

You can choose any industry, from insurance to fitness to finance to food. There possibilities are endless, and the need for written material is sky high.

How to find customers

Showcase your writing for free with a site like LinkedIn, Medium, or Hubspot. This will help you create a portfolio you can send to clients when they ask for work samples.

As for where to find your customers, check online to see what companies have blog posts or sponsored posts for publications like HuffPost and Forbes. Pitch the editor to see how you can write for them. You can also advertise your services on sites like Alignable, Craigslist, Upwork, and LinkedIn.

If you’re going down the editor route, then your target audience wouldn’t be the companies but the writers looking for a second set of eyeballs to polish and perfect their work.

 

You can find copywriters in the very same places they use to find their clients: Alignable, Craigslist, Upwork, and LinkedIn.

How much to charge

The average rate for a copywriter is around $25-$35 per hour.

Some copywriters charge as high as $1,000 per hour. But those are the writers that have been in the game for decades and whose niche experience is in high demand.  

If you’re just starting out, $20-$25 per hour is a good starting point. By working 10 hours per week, you’re looking at $800 per month.

It’s Time To Get Going!

So there you have it: 4 side hustles you can start right now without a ton of money, without a ton of time, and without a website. No barriers and no excuses to keep you from getting this show on the road.
