  • Wanna make extra cash in an easy way? Fancy channeling your creative side? Here's all the goss on realistic and fun side hustles to try in 2022 ✨

If you've got itchy feet to create something, set up shop online and roll that extra moolah in, firstly - heck yeah 💸.

Secondly, we're here to tell you that there are heaps of ways you can realistically do that. With more and more people shopping online to pass the time, buying clothes to cure boredom and pandemic fatigue, there's never been a better time to launch a side hustle. 

Depop

If you've never heard of insta account @depopdrama, you haven't lived. It's worth downloading the Depop app just to sit back n' eat popcorn while you watch the drama unfold 💅🏼 Since people are responsible for sending their used clothes, it can get wild real fast and sometimes people get more than they bargained for (hello unwanted and unidentifiable stains 🤢). 

Having said that, for the most part it's actually great for selling your clothes. Some people have even made it a full-time gig selling clothes on there. The app is heaps user friendly and it's an easy and fun way to get rid of clothes you don't want, need or fit in anymore.

Etsy 

Etsy is a magical place 🔮, a place that's easy to get lost in one too many times. It's one of the best sites to sell handcrafted and vintage items - from jewellery to digital art to personalised gifts, Etsy shops offer literally everything and anything you can imagine.  It's a freeing platform that enables you to get creative and sell whatever you like or feel like making!

To set up your own online Etsy store is refreshingly simple and inexpensive, and relatively easy to make money if you've got a flair for art, printing t-shirts, crafts or even 3D printing. 

Facebook Marketplace 

We know Facebook can suck 💩, but Facebook Marketplace is actually great for selling or even giving away stuff you can't be bothered to do anything else with. Got an old iphone? A bunch of books from your earlier school days? Don't feel like returning those pants that you'll never wear but they've never been worn? Shove them on Facebook Marketplace 👟.

Chances are, those old shoes you thought no one would want can come in handy for someone for $20, or that stuffed toy you never even look at anymore could be a kids new fave. You'd be surprised at what you can sell on that thing!

So there's your run-down of accessible and fairly uncomplicated side-hustles to kick off your year by getting creative making, selling and hopefully saving some dough!
