Want a little extra money?
Over 36% of Americans currently have a side hustle…
These days the protection of an extra income stream is even more valuable (if not necessary!).
And while there are many viable ways to make money on the side…
One of the BEST just happens to be copywriting.
Here are SEVEN reasons copywriting beats just about every other side hustle:
Want a little extra money each month? ✋
Let me give you SEVEN reasons it beats just about every other side hustle:
1. More Bang for Your Buck
Uber drivers earn an average hourly rate of $18 in the U.S.
Tutors average $18.31.
Dog walkers do better, averaging $40 per hour.
But if you break down the fees you can get paid writing copy into an hourly rate, you could quite possibly earn $100 or more per hour.
It’s all detailed in a short guide you can download immediately here.
2. Not Just Money on the Side — but Money While You Sleep!
Another benefit of copywriting as a side hustle is the possibility of passive income.
With most side hustles, you get paid only when you perform a service. A seamstress gets paid only while sewing… a delivery driver gets paid only while making deliveries…
But when you’re a copywriter, there are projects that earn you passive income.

3. Get Paid Like Clockwork
Just like some copywriting projects lend themselves to passive income, some are ideal for predictable income.
You can write e-newsletters and land a retainer deal from each client that pays $800 to $2,000 a month to write anywhere from one to four newsletters per month.
And you'll be able to complete each newsletter in just one full morning of writing.
As few as two clients could mean you're earning between $1,600 and $4,000 a month in side income — writing just a few mornings a week!
4. You Have Everything You Need
You need only four things to be a copywriter, and you probably already have three of them — a computer, internet service, and an email account.
The only other thing is a LinkedIn profile so you can market yourself — which is free.
But who will you market yourself to?
That leads to the next reason copywriting is the BEST side hustle…
5. Everybody Needs Copywriters
Side hustles aren't the only thing that have skyrocketed since the pandemic began. So has digital copy and content.
And if you're looking to start a side hustle, it helps when you can find something that not only pays extremely well but is so in demand that you won't have to work very hard to land gigs.
The need for copy and content of ALL varieties — sales letters, emails, video scripts, SEO, social media, and so much more — is through the roof.
We cover NINE projects in our free guide here.
And since everything is digital, you can be anywhere in the world and the demand is the same. You don't have to live in a big city, or live near a certain industry, to be a copywriter.
Which leads to our next benefit…
6. Complete Flexibility
Ideally, you want your side hustle to be something you can work on whenever you want — especially if you have a full-time job that requires you to work set hours.
The problem is a lot of side hustles have certain restrictions.
Any gig that requires you to work directly with someone else — like personal training or dog walking — means you have to coordinate schedules with them.
You can drive an Uber whenever it's convenient for you. But to maximize your income in the limited time you put in, you'll have to drive during peak hours.
With copywriting, it's totally up to you. As long as you meet your deadlines, it makes no difference to your clients when you write.
And finally…
7. It's Fast and Easy to Start!
You don't need experience.
You don't need to know how to write every type of copy.
Even if you're starting out, just learn some copywriting fundamentals and one type of project, and you'll know enough to get paid.
It doesn't have to take you years or even months to get this side hustle off the ground.
Depending on what project you choose, you can start in a matter of weeks!
Tens of millions of people in the U.S. now have a side hustle. And even more are getting in the game all the time.
