45 Side Hustles For Introverts in 2024 (Personal Experience!)

Are you looking for all the best side hustles for introverts that can also make you decent money too? 

Searching for a side hustle that doesn’t overwhelm you? Requires limited social interaction that will maintain your social energy.

Calling all self-proclaimed introverts that want to make money without having (or having minimal) interaction with humans! 

In a world where it pays well to be an extrovert, you might be surprised to know that there are heaps of ways to make money for those of us that are on the shyer or quieter side. 

So, don’t worry if you’re not a people person because I’ve got you covered with a list filled with (45 to be precise) side hustles for introverts.

 PS;These side hustles for introverts PAY WELL too! (because I’ve tested and tried them myself:))

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? 

They’re all famous entrepreneurs that identify themselves as introverts. If they can build empires, so can you! 

Brief intro, I am Aisha Preece. I am a former extrovert, who has become an introvert. Apparently, this can happen as you get older, who would have thought?!

But I am happy to do my own thing, climb mountains and have minimal human interaction O_O

But I’ve worked in various profitable side hustles, despite not having to be social and *scream!* get in front of the camera!

side hustle for introverts

1.Blogging

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:

Also, I took this blogging course that taught me how to make my first $1,000 from my blog. Immensely useful.

2.Self-Publishing

Do 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 Writing

Freelance 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:

If you have zero writing experience but you want to dive in headfirst, I have an in-depth articles about:

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.

freelance-writing-courses-Elna-write-to-1k

I spent ages googling FREE information and googling articles (like you are doing now) and 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:

WriteTo1k-Write-Your-Way-to-Your-First-1k-Elna Cain 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 Writer

More 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:

5. Proofreading and Editing

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:

And if you’re on the hunt for proofreading and editing jobs, have a look at these websites:

6. Online Survey Taker

I think being an online survey taker can be considered one of the easy side hustles from home 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:

7. Flea Market Flipper

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:

I wrote this guide on flea market flipping: 

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.

8. Online Course Instructor or Tutor

You may not think being an online course instructor could be one of the best side hustles for introverts and 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.

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. Playing video games can be a legit side hustles.

10. Open POD Shops

POD 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

Etsy is certainly an excellent way to generate passive income for introverts.

11. Pet sitter/Dog Walker

More of an animal person than a people person? Side hustles for introverts who love animals are walking dogs or pet sitting.

Dog walker salary is between $15 and $30 per hour per canine.

13. Get Paid To Test Products At Home

Companies 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 TV

Make 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.

16. Food Delivery

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!

Looking for companies just like Postmates? 

Here are a few options for you to consider:

17. Grocery Delivery

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 Assistant

A 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.

If 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.

    Think business meetings, interviews, lectures, radio shows, podcasts, videos, etc.

I’ve tried each of these courses and can guarantee that they are worth every penny.

21. Scoping

Think 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

Car washing can be a great side hustle because almost everyone has a car nowadays, and they get dirty. So this is an excellent service that you can provide in your neighborhood. 

Starting a car wash business is easy and requires minimal investment to buy your supplies. However, you will need a vehicle to bring your washing supplies to your customers.

You also need to know how to wash a car well so that your customers are satisfied with the job and will refer you.

In addition, you can provide additional services like wax, polish, and vacuuming to earn extra money from your car wash business. 

Handing out flyers around your neighborhood and advertising in the Facebook marketplace is a great way to market your car washing business.

If you enjoy mixing or reproducing sound using electronic audio equipment, an audio engineer can be a great side hustle.

You can also upload your sound to YouTube and Spotify and start a passive income stream.

31.Data Entry

Data entry is a great side hustle for introverts to do from home. The job requires entering data from a raw source into a computer system.

Although the task sounds simple enough, the job is repetitional and deals with a large amount of data, so a great skill to have is accuracy and speed.

You will need internet access, a laptop, and software to start a data entry side hustle. Most companies use standard programs like Microsoft Word and Excel, Google Docs, or Quickbooks. 

According to Salary.com, you can earn from $37,344 to $55,176 per year doing part-time data entry.

Here are some platforms where you can find data entry jobs.

More Side Hustles For Introverts

I’ve got a few more side hustles for introverts, mom introverts, creative introverts, and even introverts who have some investments to spare. Here are 14 more side hustles for introverts:

32. SEO Consultant

You might read the word consulting and think, “Oh no, I have to talk to people.” Well, not for an SEO consultant. 

Their task is to help their clients’ websites rank in search engine results, and they don’t need to have long conversations with their clients to do this. 

So, what does an SEO consultant do?

Their services include:

  • Keyword research
  • SEO content strategy
  • Optimizing content for client’s website
  • Competitive analysis for target keywords
  • Improve the site organization
  • Fix their client SEO technical issues

You can get by doing these tasks via email communication with your clients.

If you have good SEO knowledge and can perform the list of services above, advertise your service on platforms like Fiverr or Upwork.

You can consider becoming an SEO consultant, as it is one of the best side hustle jobs for introverts, and the pay is good. You can charge an average of $48 per hour. 

33. Social Media Manager

A social media manager manages their client’s social accounts. 

I know this might sound like an introvert’s nightmare, words like “Social” and “Management,” but let me ease your mind.

Unlike the job title, there is not much socializing on your part, at least not face-to-face. So, the role of a social media manager is to:

  • Create and optimize social account
  • Make a social media marketing plan
  • Data analysis for the client’s socials
  • Keep track of audience engagement and traction
  • Create campaigns and ads for your client

If you are looking for the “best side hustle jobs with zero interaction with humans,” a social media manager might not be for you. 

But, it is one of the higher-paying ones. I was able to charge one of my clients at least $500 to manage their social media platform.

Social media management was also among the “best side hustles 2023.” 

If you are willing to have some interaction (don’t worry; it can be minor, and you probably get away with communicating via email), you should give it a go. 

side hustle for introverts

34. Podcast Editor

If you are an introvert looking for how to make money without talking to anyone, you can look for podcast editor jobs.

Podcasts are on the rise now; they are popping out faster than mushrooms after a rainy day. 

It’s great for introverts because you can work on it independently with your headphones on (the universal sign for do not disturb).

A podcast editor will use editing software like Adobe Audition or Audacity to:

  • Polish audio content
  • Cut audio errors (remove bloopers)
  • Add music
  • Improve the podcast sound quality

Reach out to a podcast host and offer your services; there is always a podcaster out there who could use a podcast editor.

You can also apply to job boards like ZipRecruiter and sign up for platforms like Upwork or Fiverr

So, there are plenty of opportunities for introverts who love to do audio editing and enrich the listener’s experience.

35. Video Editor

Wondering how to make money for introverts in the creative world? There are tons of opportunities for creative introverts, one of them being video editors.

Video editors work behind the camera to edit videos and film to create the client’s or director’s final vision.

The job requires you to be creative to be able to bring stories to life. It also requires you to be skilled at editing software like Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere. 

You will be involved in cutting, splicing, and enhancing raw videos and mixing them with other visual and audio sources.

36. Faceless Instagram Account

If you are looking for side hustles that don’t require social media, you can skip this one. There are plenty more side hustles without social media that I have listed in this article. 

However, if you have always been intrigued by becoming an influencer on Instagram but are too shy to reveal your identity, try opening a faceless Instagram account. 

The best part is you can curate an Instagram account about almost any niche you are passionate about. 

It can be about plants, self-development, books, or lifestyle (just shoot content cropping your face out). 

To build a faceless Instagram account that can make you money, you need to:

  • Build trust with your audience
  • Have a consistent content aesthetic
  • Make quality content that adds value

Once you gain traction in your account, you can monetize by selling digital products, sponsorships, and affiliate marketing. 

This side hustle is great for introverts as you can maintain your privacy and don’t need to build a personal following around you. Instead, you are making it around a specific niche.

 37. App Development

Another great side hustle for introverts is becoming a freelance mobile app developer. 

App developers build and design mobile applications for your phones, tablets, and even smart TVs. 

It’s great for introverts who love programming and have stellar problem-solving skills, as you will work on launching, fixing, and updating apps for platforms like iOS and Android.

You can find freelance app developer jobs on Toptal, Upwork, and ZipRecruiter platforms.

side hustle for introverts

38. Pottery Artist

Pottery has risen in recent years due to the growing interest in handmade and artisanal pottery.

Making and selling handmade pottery is a great side hustle for introverts, as you can control your interaction with others daily. 

Handling clay also requires focus and being mindful of your art, which can be incredibly calming.

Selling pottery is one of the best side hustles from home, as you can make your ceramic creations at home. 

All you need is clay, glaze, tools, and a pottery wheel. Owning a kiln can be expensive, so you can fire your work at a pottery firing service near you.

You can sell your handmade pottery on platforms like Etsy or your website and promote your work on social media.

39. Personal Style Bundler 

Personal Style Bundler is a new side hustle that I just discovered. It’s great for introverts who love fashion, sustainability, and shopping!

A personal style bundler is like a stylist, but you source your client’s clothes through thrifting. 

This side hustle is great for introverts because you can communicate and design your business model online.

How it works is that:

  • Your clients must complete a Google form about their style, size, and preference.
  • Send you their curated Pinterest board about what style and clothing they want to try.
  • You then source the clothing according to your client’s preference and style at thrift stores or sustainable shops.
  • You shipped out the style bundle to your clients.

They basically have the job of a personal stylist without ever meeting the clients.

Payments methods will differ according to which company that hires you. Some payments include gift cards, cash, and even free products.

42. Own An Automatic Car Wash

Opening an automatic car wash is a great side hustle for introverts, as the business model is designed to be self-sustaining. However, you will need to have the necessary investment and resources upfront.

An automatic car wash is where customers clean their cars using existing equipment at your car wash, either by an automatic car wash or with self-serving washing equipment.

This business can run on autopilot with minimal inventory and maintenance. 

On average, your automatic car wash can make $100,000 per year. Your car wash can generate more income depending on the location, size of the car wash, and facilities there.

Purchasing an automatic car wash facility will also depend on these three factors mentioned earlier. 

On the lower end, you can get a self-service car wash at $100,000; on the higher end, it could cost you a million over.

You can also showcase your work on social media and accept art commissions from clients.
