Side-hustle options for the artist in you

Running short on cash every month even after having a steady job? Here’s how to earn more!

While a steady income is what most people survive on every month, it might not fulfill everything you want to do in life! Whether you are hoping to go on a vacation, or buy some equipment or have an urgent need, it is necessary to have a side income, if your job doesn’t pay well at the moment! If you have an artistic side, here are a few options you can think about for a side-hustle and make more money!

If you are good at painting

Stuck in an account department with menial salary while being a self-taught doodler? Here’s a side-hustle for you. Whether it is simple sketches, illustrations, comics or some other art form related to painting, a lot of people make some money on the side with these skills. Follow a few social media accounts and see how they market their art. Brush up on your skills, share a few paintings first on social media platforms, have a few friends buy your art and leave reviews and you are already halfway in your journey of side-hustle. This will take a few months to catch up but if you do it consistently, you will start seeing the benefits soon.

If you love resin art

Have you noticed how resin art has taken over the internet? There are multiple videos where they make lamps, show pieces, wall hangings and even table tops with resin art. Start small, if you have a knack for carpentry try to incorporate resin art with it. Develop a marketing channel through your social media platforms and start selling. This will pick up soon if you can consistently carry this out.

If you have a few glass bottles lying around

Glass bottles are something that is very much in trend due to their artistic value. They make extremely great lamps if you stick fairy lights inside of them. People are adding their artistic expressions to the outside of the bottles and making great accessory pieces for home décor.

If you are good at calligraphy

You don’t have to be great but even if you good at calligraphy you can get started on a side-hustle. Calligraphy art is highly appreciated for customized cards, accessories and other written art forms. Keep practicing and try to create a page for your business online and keep publishing your art. Make a sales channel and get started on this side-hustle.
