The COVID-19 pandemic has had a crazy effect on businesses. Some have folded due to a decrease in demand, while others have thrived due to high demand for certain services. And it seems this demand is here to stay. Many people are enjoying big success starting new businesses, with some amazing opportunities to start a side hustle that’s not only successful but enjoyable too.

Want to start an exciting new venture and boost your income? Here are some enjoyable side hustles to start post-COVID.

Become a cake maker

One thing that hasn’t been dampened during the pandemic is the love of cake. There’s a growing demand for statement cakes for birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, and more, and you could start making your own! There are a lot of great cake-making tutorials out there to help you learn different skills. 

If big cakes aren’t your thing, then cupcake and brownie boxes could be a simpler solution that could help you flex your baking talents and make some money too.

Teach fitness classes in person or online

A lot of people turned to home fitness during the pandemic to help them stay fit without having to go to the gym. This has continued to prove popular, even as fitness centers have reopened. If you’ve got a passion for fitness, you could learn how to become a Pilates instructor online or learn how to teach another type of fitness and start teaching classes online! You could find that there’s also a demand for local classes in places like community centers or offices where you can teach classes in person too.

Start a home accessories brand

Do you love crafting? Perhaps there’s a way to turn your talents into a profitable business! With people spending more time at home during lockdown, there’s been a big increase in the number of people taking on home improvements or focusing on their decor. Making DIY home accessories is an excellent way to start a side hustle while also doing something you’re passionate about. You can easily sell your products online via Etsy, Amazon, and other marketplaces to help people discover your products easily.

Give dog walking a try

The number of pet owners increased during the pandemic, with many households getting dogs and other pets to keep them company and to make the most of being at home. This increase has led to a growing demand for dog walkers, so if you love dogs, this could be the perfect opportunity for you to become a dog walker. Dog walking is a sociable, enjoyable side hustle, and a great way to get outdoors and boost your fitness too!

Starting a side hustle can be an excellent way to make some extra money. But when it also involves something you enjoy, it doesn’t feel like work at all. Give your household income a boost by finding a fun hobby you can make money from – you never know where your exciting new venture might lead you!
