Get Side Hustle Ideas

What are the best side hustles for introverts?

Don’t worry — if you don’t like talking to people, there are still plenty of ways to make extra money and start a business!

I get it. I identify as an introvert myself.

There are plenty of side hustles out there that can help medical doctors make extra income.

Even though doctors tend to be highly paid (over $200,000 median salary), they’re also straddled with student loans and a late start to their careers.

I set out to write the best damn passive income ideas post on the Internet.

Because here’s the thing. Most “passive income” list posts just repeat the same boilerplate ideas–open a high interest savings account, for example.

And yes, that will earn you a small amount of passive income (and I’ll certainly mention it as an option below), but my guess is you’re looking for something a little more substantial.

The beauty of these side hustle ideas is that most don’t require a huge initial investment or even necessarily a highly specialized skill-set. Check out our list of the best side hustles to start today.

The end of the year is upon us, which means it’s time to reflect back on the side hustles that stood out — the ones that got people talking, the ones I was most excited to share, the ones that made me think, “Dang, I need to drop what I’m doing and go try that.”

Now the mark of a good episode, for me, is when I hang up the call thinking exactly that. And I try to exercise some level of discipline because the shiny object syndrome is real, but when the shiny object shines for me, I know it’s going to be a hit episode.

So I’ve selected my top 10 for the year, presented in chronological order. If you’re new to the show, I’ve included episode numbers so you can check out the ones you’re interested in. And if you’re a long-time listener, see if your favorites made the list.
