Unlock Lucrative Money-Making Opportunities: Discover the Hottest Side Gigs and Thriving Remote Careers in 2023
Online conversations have been buzzing with creative and high-earning money-making ideas, and several trends stand out as especially lucrative right now. One that’s taken off is launching a one-person content or marketing agency. Influencers, small businesses, and brands are actively seeking content creators to run their social channels, edit videos, and design eye-catching graphics. Ryan Pineda highlights in his latest video that editing short-form content for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels is one of the hottest side gigs, easily turning into a business charging $500 to $2,000 monthly per client. Pairing that with skills like funnel-building—using artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT to create high-converting landing pages—can double small business leads and quickly boost incomes for those who are proactive and savvy about digital marketing.
Traditional e-commerce is also seeing fresh momentum, thanks to new tools and smarter strategies. Specifically, selling products on Amazon or Etsy has become both more accessible and profitable. Entrepreneurs are automating everything from sourcing products via wholesale channels to working with print-on-demand services to create and ship custom goods. Research from platforms like GoBankingRates and The Penny Hoarder shows that leveraging AI (for product descriptions, idea validation through Helium 10, and automating listing optimization) allows solo operators to earn anywhere between $500 and $5,000 a month with focused effort.
For listeners craving immediate income or part-time flexibility, tech-enabled gig platforms keep dominating the conversation. Groceries and packages still need to be delivered, and services like Instacart, Shipt, and Amazon Flex are paying solid hourly rates, bolstered by high-demand, especially in urban and suburban markets. Tips can push earnings up fast, and Amazon Flex drivers, for instance, are reporting hourly rates in the $18 to $25 range.
The work-from-home movement is stronger than ever, and big names like Mozilla, UnitedHealth Group, and even emerging startups are rapidly expanding remote roles. Openings range from customer service and technical writing to higher-level roles like digital marketing strategist and project manager. According to Dynamite Jobs, new listings for SaaS customer success roles and account executive jobs offer strong salary potential, completely remote, and often with benefits. Notably, companies like Liveops are thriving by contracting remote call center agents, letting workers set their hours and workload for true flexibility.
Listeners looking for unique stories would be fascinated to hear about entrepreneurs flipping furniture, electronics, or even thrift finds. These flippers are using digital marketplaces and social media to resell with high margins, going from casual side hustle to six-figure operations by scaling with networks and automation. The continued growth of the virtual assistant market is also a strong story—people are packaging admin, creative, and tech skills to support business owners globally, making $20 to $50 an hour in many niches and even building boutique agencies that employ remote teams.
Finally, for those more keen on skill-building and low-barrier startups, offering yoga or fitness instruction online has surged, with instructors marketing classes on Zoom and community boards, or even selling subscriptions on platforms like Shopify. There’s a growing market for all types of expertise—if you can teach, manage, or create, the digital marketplace can connect you to global demand.
