I'm an introvert and I love my side hustle as an overnight janitor in an Irish pub and restaurant. I bop in around 2 a.m. and finish by 5 a.m. Not a soul in sight and the pay is quiet good due to the odd hours. Adds another 10K to my annual income.
@@mycupoverflows7811 It certainly was. Unfortunately, the job became a causality of the COVID panic in March. Used to love cleaning that place listening to Coast to Coast AM at night. The pub always seemed to have a warm glow to it. Sometimes, I'm amazed at how a type of heaven can be found in the strangest of places.
Another side job for an introvert is being an elderly companion for a few hours a week. I did that for many years. Basically you just spend time with an elderly person so they are not alone all day. I would help make their lunch or help them do some house cleaning. Other times we would go to a movie or out for a walk or food shopping. I met many nice seniors and always looked forward to spending time with them..I learned a lot from them too!
Kimiko Arra The best way is to Google elderly companion in your city/ town. There are a number of home care agencies that are looking to hire companions for their clients. You could also place a notice on a bulletin board at the local Senior Center..plus tell all your friends/family on social media in case they know a senior that may need some help..but a Home care agency like Visiting Angels or something similar is your best bet.
I used to do that when I was a teenager. I read them the newspaper, told them the weather outside, listen to them telling me a story from their past. Fun! Nicole
I am an introvert, work in a lab on the night shift alone- it is my dream job! I am able to be extroverted, but can only do it for small amounts of time. Introverts are amazing!
@@ghiaferrari7585 I am a medical laboratory scientist, which means I run lab tests, mainly for ER. Most hospitals dont have staffing alone on the night shift. I was blessed with finding this one.
@@Catlady1210 Most universities have it as a bachelor's degree in Clinical Laboratory Science. My certification is thru ASCP as a medical laboratory scientist. We desperately need workers in the field- so I had job before I graduated. I make a mean salary of about 55k a year, but I usually work overtime and make arpund 72k to 75k a year.
I think there should be a niche market for drivers who are marked as introverts. I bet a LOT of people who want to use rideshare would prefer a driver who just drives and isn't chatty. I know I would! I enjoy genuinely engaging conversation but most often it feels forced and I'd rather just ride in silence and not feel obligated to chat with a stranger.
Definite introvert here! I read a great book last month called Quiet that dives deeply into the science of being an introvert and it was an amazing read. Highly suggested for any introverts or those who love them. Great video!
I've been on RU-vid for five years and my income really hasn't changed. If anything, with RU-vid policy changes I make less money. I've done Etsy/hand made art multiple times but often people are not willing to pay what things cost. Something could cost $20 in supplies and 10 hours of your time but people only want to pay $10. Swagbucks often you are only getting a few cents per survey, if you even qualify. These are good ideas but not often something that someone who is working full-time can manage to make real money on. To make a good amount of money these won't really work.
Introvert here I read a great book about being an introvert. Quiet: The Power of Being an Introvert in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain. Very good book and very empowering.
This is so motivational Dana! Most people overlook this one, but being a part-time real estate agent is one of the most reliable side hustles. Been doing it for years making an extra $10k per month on the side...
I'm a severe introvert!! I'm 55 and have raised my 2 boys. I haven't worked for over 21 years and when I did it was for my Dad. I am so afraid of finding a job or even having an interview. Also my very Extroverted husband is tired of his Introverted wife. My future is not looking good for me.
I am also an ìntroverted extrovert. I hate large gatherings and social situations and groups of over 6. However, most times, people would never know this. When I can't walk the walk, I talk the talk. When I was a kid, 100 years ago, we actually had lessons on conversation and " deportment " whatever that was. I use some of those tools when in a new area for me. I ask questions of the person I'm with to let them talk about themselves. Usually, we have something in common. Then, when I can, I get the heck out of there and go home to my quiet little house. lol
Dora I can so relate. Most of the time if we engage in a conversation and let the other person talk it is kind of easy. People love to talk about themselves. Then they think you are the greatest person in the world for giving the gift of listening to them. I love to ask questions. I do find that some people are not comfortable when being asked questions though so I try to gauge the type of questions I ask so they don't seem invasive or too personal. It's a fine lady line and being aware of other people's reactions.
I’m an introvertie here! 🙋♀️ I’m looking into proofreading as a side hustle. I’m also going back and forth on starting a RU-vid channel. I have a niche that could potentially go far on RU-vid.
Go for it!! I have wanted a channel forever, 5 years now and I am going to need a camera or at least a better phone but it's something to get the brain focused while I look for jobs. Good luck. 🙏💜🙏
Love it! Introverted homeschool mom of 6 here. I have a tiny RU-vid channel and have tried rev.com, but gorsh it's too noisy around here!😂 I would love to try Etsy with my crochet but gonna have to wait for more time. Love your channel! I sure wish I'd known about accounting when I was younger. I was a teacher and I remember coming home after my 1st ever day of teaching and taking a 2 hour nap 😂😂😂 Introverts unite! Separately and in your own homes...
I’m a introverted single mom of homeschooling six also. (Oldest child graduated).I used to THINK I had to be more social because everyone else in our homeschool group was involved with other things but even my children are introverts and did enjoy group events but it wore us all out. I use Rev.com and have an Etsy Store. I have to really make time for them this year. I am subscribing to your page. ♥️
@@chipixie ❤️❤️ you're my new hero! I love hearing this. I asked my kids after church on Wednesday night if they were drained or energized. Most were drained. I love our loud quiet life lol! I've promised introvert homeschool mom videos in the past, so I'll have to do some work and get some good ones out. 😛😍
I'm an accountant too. It's a good job for introverts who work more with paper than people. If you are part of a team in a small company or are tasked with projects, it is a good career option. If it were public accounting & meeting clients or presenting financials in front of boards of directors, then it's not a good fit. Side hustle - I'm trying eBay & online selling of what I own. Need to get new carpet & MUST pay cash for it! I love to sew n craft, but the cost of manufacturing (my time) may not represent profits! Lol! Thoroughly enjoy your videos, very matter of fact, not pretentious.
Great list of ideas! I'm also an introvert and it's not always so easy!! I'm good at and enjoy working by myself, just tell me what needs done and then go away! :)
Had to chuckle since I am a total "Chatty Cathy"🤗 and find myself spending hours at garage sales, just visiting, when I should be sourcing much more quickly for eBay selling...
I average $10 a day on Amazon Mechanical Turk (Mturk) for about 90 minutes of work. Several years ago, I did well flipping used items that I bought at Goodwill on eBay, but that market fizzled out. I found Mturk in '16 and made a few dollars doing surveys, rating photos, correcting grammar, and other 'micro jobs.' Now that I've figured out how to use the software that catches tasks when I'm not sitting right there at the keyboard, I can limit myself to the few things that pay 5 bucks an hour or better. When broke, it's easy to fall for the humiliating pay rate of some tasks, which can be $1 an hour.
I have always been what’s called a Shy extrovert - I have moments of shyness that come out of nowhere but most of the time I am an extrovert and the center of the party, meeting, etc. which was fine with what I was doing for the last five years The challenge I have found is that the more my chronic illness has become an issue it’s harder and harder to be on in large groups of people ...Too much stimulation too confusing… so I have change my business to online sales I want to stay home probably 90% of the time and only go out for those rare occasions… I get a lot of my social need nowadays through specialize chat groups that are geared towards the business I’m creating... On the plus side… Less wear and tear on the car, less gas mileage, less need for clothes, less temptation to overbuy, lots and lots of benefits to staying home!
Yes - INTJ right here. I finally work on a team that is mostly men and IT minded. No nonsense - get the job done. I love it and finally 'fit in' Yeah - Uber - no. I don't even like being a customer in an Uber. I would be like... "so, hows the weather" I don't do small talk.
You may THINK you are an introvert but I don't see it! But then again I get it because I did radio and do YT and also taught so when I called myself "shy" everyone laughed. Well you are an amazing intro-extrovert! Lol that's what we are! Great video btw ( as usual)!- Jan
When I was younger I used go out with friends. How I never really had fun. I realize later on im actually an introvert. Now I’m so much happier being alone or just one to two people.
Dana thank you so much for this video I as you know I'm not an introvert but my daughter Caroline is and this is a fantastic video for her I will have it watch have her watch this when she gets home from college today thank you
Here are some other side hustle ideas! 1.Selling firewood in winter , bagged up or bulk , or bagged kindling is a good side business. Often timberyards will have a scrap bin and will be happy for you to take wood offcuts. 2.Growing and selling plants is a good business, chillies especially the superhot varieties sell well, cacti and succulents too. Pots can be sourced free from landscape contractors. Many succulents and cacti grow readily from cuttings. Sell them on Facebook Marketplace. 3.Household chores/handyman type jobs, raking leaves, clearing gutters in Autumn, cleaning house windows , repairing flyscreens, gardening and weeding are simple chores many older people can't do. 4.Replacing tap washers/reseating tap washers , irrigation system repairs/replacing sprinklers isn't difficult. 5.mulching gardens/weeding gardens/mowing lawns. 6.Washing and polishing cars. 7.Picking up and delivering items if you have a car or van, rubbish removal. Once you have some money save it, use it to invest in things you can later sell for a profit such as buying small plants and growing them for a season then selling them larger, buying things cheap at garage sales then sell them on Facebook marketplace.
I hate shopping! I do groceries only once a month. My mother and daughter shop 'till they drop. My daughter went shopping for her prom dress with her dad (and also because I would have said no to the dress...). I buy my clothes online. Nicole
love your videos Dana! thanks for thinking of us introverts 😆 I’m trying to find a way to afford being a stay-at-home mama and these tips really helped!
Such good tips as always. Love your advice been watching you since you was doing diaper videos :D your content has grown so much even tho you made the switch
I am a huge introvert!! I think the internet and texting made it worse. I lol Now I only text, email, and facebook people. lol I have been doing AVON but with that, I have to talk to people but not too often. lol I sell from my website. :)
Hi Dana, I too am a corporate accountant, but I only have 2 years of experience. Would you do a video about your career? I am curious about the rate of raises. The company I work for does annual raises. Any advice for career development as a corporate accountant? Thanks
Hmm. In my experience you'll move ahead if you're genuinely interested in helping the company succeed. Volunteer to take on new things etc. I also tell my boss often how grateful I am to be there. (sincerely) When bonuses come up, they'll likely think of you. If that doesn't work - be prepared to move on to another company if there's simply no opportunities to advance there. They can only do what they can do. Good luck!!!! 👍🏻
@@Catlady1210 4 yr BA accounting 18mo MAC...the problem I ran into was finding a job. My interview skills were awful...and salary negotiation is something I am just starting to understand.
This is great advice and would love to hear more on this topic, on being an introvert and how you handle it. Also i’ve never had a problem with your lighting.
Haha, thanks!!! I feel like that girl in that Seinfeld episode sometimes. The one where Jerry says he only likes her in the "good lighting", and she's terrifying looking in the "bad lighting". 😂
My friend makes a very good living doing pet sitting. She lives in a small city and has an abundance of clients. However, she has a sweet bubbly personality and is completely trustworthy. She has to deal with clients and new folks on a daily basis and is totally an extrovert. I’m not sure a true introvert could do this and make much money.
Landscaping and gardening are also good jobs for introverts. There is a huge demand for landscaping and people pay good money for it. You are out in nature and there is not much social interaction.
My husband does Uber and Grub Hub (food delivery). I pet sit, notarize papers and sell things locally. These are in addition to our full time jobs. There's lots of opportunities to hustle.
Be careful with Etsy. I closed my Etsy store but they kept taking money out of my account anyway. I went to my bank and I challenged it and won and got my money back and THEY DID IT AGAIN. I had to close the account and I had had that account over 10 years. BEWARE OF ETSY THIEVERY!!!
I can talk happily and easily with perfect strangers (mainly in stores or parks) but networking and small talk in business settings is challenging. I love to craft and spend many many happy hours alone doing it but I can get antsy if I am not around people My job fulfills that need but even there I can be happy working alone just knowing people are in the offices around me. I am naturally friendly and empathetic. I guess I am a mix of intro-extro. By the way good ideas! (The whole point of your video!) i know someone who delivers for Amazon. You can make between $50-$100 shift and it's extremely flexible. After gas expenses it's some cash. Have also considered opening an Etsy or similar shop to sell my handmade cards and journals. But because I am a 100% type person not sure I want to manage that commitment to being a stellar online shop owner while doing my full time job. Have been pondering this literally for months. Will give these ideas consideration. Thanks!

..1st time here - subbd!! :) where are the best places to sell traditional and digital photos in 2022? - also do you know anyone who needs a traditional illustrator?!

And i love watching ur videos very financially helpful, family healthy saving money, meal handling, cant wait to make beans n rice as meal. And i am from calgary alberta canada. Looking foreard to ur tueaday videos. God Bless ur Family.
Rev audio files have very bad sound quality, I can't deal with bad sound although I understand what they are saying it it gets on my nerves quickly. Do you know any similar company with files with better quality?
There is another utube lady by the name of Lydia senn. I have watched many of her videos on various frugal ideas but she also has one about virtual assisting although I have never watched it.
Love this video, thank you. Innie central here. Loath computers generally, but love animals and take great photos for gardening, nature, cooking, etc. . But not with a phone. If only they could be regular digital camera, I'd be set. Anyone know?
Another way to earn some cash is to donate plasma. You can earn $70-100+ per week. I go twice a week, about 2 hours total, and take home the $$$. Can't be afraid of needles though!
Nothing wrong with it as long as you do it safely. Nephew did it for years. According to Weatherspoon (2018), Donating plasma is mostly a safe process, but side effects do exist. Donating plasma can cause common but usually minor side effects like dehydration, fatigue, and a citrate reaction is a very serious but very rare side effect of plasma donation. Donation center should put you through a screening process. You can donate plasma every 28 days, up to 13 times per year. While the FDA does allow donors to give plasma more frequently, this is the best practice for safety. Drink an extra 16 ounces of clear, nonalcoholic fluids (preferably water) before your donation. This can help prevent dizziness, fainting, lightheadedness, and fatigue.
I also trade with the of a professional, I think is more profitable trading with an expert because I didn't get to make this much profits when I was trading on my own
I enjoy your videos so much. I’m so glad you started an continue to make RU-vid videos. I considered myself an introvert as well until I took a personality test by Jordan Peterson understandmyself.com. I lean more toward extroversion then introversion which was really interesting. I hope you check it out. 💕
I am very social. But if I walk in a room with all strangers I kinda stay in the area with no one. I will not speak till talked to. So I have to know you to be social.
