It's no secret that things have gone from bad to worse in our beloved country Nigeria. I mean, who would have thought that one day the smallest size of Indomie would be sold for as high as N400!

Well, that's the reality of the country we live in. And while we pray for better days, we can't just sit and fold our arms. No, there is something more you can do to earn extra cash which will help you deal with these daily expenses.

That being said, these are 5 easy side hustles you can do to start earning extra cash today.

1. Help people sell their goods

Do you know anyone that sells cars, generators, spare parts, electronics, etc?

Good! Now go to the person's shop, take pictures of their goods, post them on social media/forums to attract buyers, and get your commission for every buyer you bring.

The good thing about this side hustle is that you don't need to invest any money. All you need is your phone and your time!

2. Freelancing

Are you a writer, graphics designer, video editor, etc?

Good! Now got to platforms like Nairaland, LinkedIn, Facebook etc and keep posting about your skills. The more you post, the more you will be seen as an authority figure in your field. Clients will definitely reach out to you and pay you to work for them.

Trust me, I've been doing writing, graphics design, and voiceover jingles for a long time and they have all fed me well.

3. Indoor and outdoor catering

Do you know how to cook delicious meals for small and large audiences? Do you know that there are people who don't have the time to cook their own meals? Do you know that people are throwing parties every weekend, even in your area? Do you know that you can render your cooking services to these groups of people and beyond?

Sell your catering skills using word of mouth and social media posts and jobs will come!

4. Laundry services

Do you know that not everyone has the time or energy to wash their own clothes? Do you know that there are many people like that in your area? Now throw your pride away and let them know you are at their service!

5. Hairdressing

Are you good at hairdressing? Do you know that you can render better and cheaper door-to-door hairdressing services to all the women and beautiful babes on your area?

If you're good at it and are social enough, then I don't see why you can't!

Now, the side hustles I mentioned so far can be started with zero capital. Your skills and your ability to spread the word about what you do are all you need to start making some extra cash today!

God bless Nigeria!

All these are cool, but I wish there was a way to make money online doing something fun. Sometimes you need a refreshing way to earn online

Well, you could start a YouTube channel and talk about the things that interest you. As long as your content offers value to your audience, then you can make money doing something you love.

Although building a viable audience won't happen overnight.
