With the current financial climate, we could all benefit from creating an additional income stream. If you are going to launch a side hustle, it’s important it’s fun. After all, if you’re enjoying the process, it does not matter if the journey to success takes a little longer than you imagined. Besides, your love of the work will be noticed by consumers.

If you have a genuine passion for fashion, there are several ways to potentially make good money on the side. Here are six of the best.

1| SELL CLOTHES

There are plenty of fashion retailers out there, but you still have ample opportunity to find a niche and sell clothes to them. Whether starting an eCommerce store or looking to sell at local events is up to you. Either way, working with a jeans manufacturer to find wholesale quality designs can open the door to success. Given that running the business from home is now very affordable, your profit margins won’t need to be that high either. 

2| DESIGN CLOTHES

Identifying clothes that will sell well is highly rewarding and potentially the quickest path to profit. However, you may also have the desire to supplement this with creations of your own. Thanks to print-on-demand services, this is now more accessible than ever. As long as you can come up with the design for a t-shirt or garment, you can get them to customers without even handling the goods. Or you could create handmade jewellery and accessories.

3| BECOME AN AFFILIATE

Selling fashion goods that you’ve purchased wholesale or designed yourself is great. However, you can also create revenue streams through affiliate marketing. This essentially means pointing people to a retailer or fashion label in return for a commission on the sale. If you have friends or social media followers who value your opinion, this option is great. You can earn money with little time and no financial investment when done well. 

4| CREATE CONTENT

Content creation has become a popular career choice for many. Fashion is one of the industries where you’ll never be short of ideas or potential followers. You already know the sector through your love of it. Combine this with engaging writing, photos, videos, or audio and you’ll be onto a winner. Monetization can occur through sponsorships, merchandising, brand partnerships, ads, guest content, and more. 

5| ADVICE OTHERS

You may have a great eye for what suits a person, but that doesn’t mean others do. Most people want to look great, but a lot of people struggle to unlock their potential. You could become a fashion stylist or coach for individual clients. This means that they will pay you to build their look for them. Helping someone improve their look is immensely enjoyable for you, and it can be life-changing for them.

6| SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGEMENT

Finally, you may be able to get a remote-based part-time job in social media. You will be tasked with managing a brand’s social channels. Thanks to the use of post-scheduling, you’ll also be positioned to work at the most suitable times for you. This could also be the perfect way to launch yourself into this industry for future full-time roles. Even if it doesn’t go that far, the secondary income stream will be hugely helpful.
