These are the top three online side hustles you can provide without any prior freelancing experience or if you are new to making money online. These are services that are in high demand and can help you get your foot into the door. All three of these side hustles can be performed from the comfort of your own home and on your own time.

That means you can invest as much or as little time into it as you have available. These three online side hustles can be provided on Fiverr, Upwork, Freelancer.com, or with a client directly. So whether you are unemployed, or you have a job but you want to make more money on the side, this is a perfect blog for you. 

The first online side hustle is transcription. A transcriptionist's job is to listen to the recorded audio, such as in videos, and type out what is said word-for-word. There are many different kinds of transcription jobs, including market research, medical and legal transcription to name a few.

Being a transcriptionist requires no experience besides access to a computer and the ability to type information as you hear it. A freelance transcriptionist gets to choose how many hours they want to work, making it a flexible side hustle option.

A few responsibilities of a Transcriptionist:

• Turning video recordings, meetings, and conversations into text

• Listening to audio and translating it into text 

• Reviewing drafts of written transcriptions for quality and accuracy

• Checking with clients with the final documents

In business, there's a lot that goes into transcribing. This includes listening to zoom meetings of a client and writing down what they say. Or it could be a medical transcription where you write phone calls of different patients. All you need to do is be able to listen and then be able to type. If typing interests you and sounds like an easy way to make a few extra bucks, then this is a great online side hustle for you to check out further.

The second online side hustle you can provide is being a freelance virtual assistant. As a Virtual Assistant, you can choose to perform various administrative tasks for clients. This includes answering emails, scheduling meetings, and making travel arrangements.

A virtual assistant is someone who does a wide range of administrative tasks for a client or a business owner to help them save time and stay organized. The best part is you don't need to show up to an office every day and be someone's assistant, you can do this virtually in today's world. You can also be a virtual assistant for multiple clients at the same time which makes it a profitable way to scale. Being a freelance assistant does not have a high barrier to entry, because once again, you don't need specific experience to land these types of jobs.

A few responsibilities of Freelance Assistant:

• Responding to emails and phone calls

• Scheduling meetings

• Booking travels/ accommodating

• Tracking online records

• Organizing your client's calendar

• Conducting Market research

• Creating presentations

In order to have success as a virtual assistant, you must get comfortable using online tools that are common in the marketplace. These are likely software and tools you're already familiar with, such as calendar applications, emailing softwares, and different travel booking services.

Those are the things that business owners need help with. Their time is valuable, and they don't have time to spend on these tasks. So instead they hire virtual assistants to do that for them. This side hustle is a great way to get your foot in the door into the online freelancing world. You're going to be able to work hand in hand with business owners. You'll also get to understand a lot more about how a business owner even runs their business. If this is something that interests you, being a freelance virtual assistant may be a great side hustle for you. 

The third online side hustle with no experience required is Data Entry. Data entry uses computers and data processing programs to enter information into a database, or a documentation platform. You can also transcribe data from recordings or phone conversations.

Data entry can take you into a variety of industries since many employers hire for these positions. You can start providing this side hustle right away. With data entry, you're going to be doing a lot of moving information from one place to another. 

A few responsibilities of Data Entry:

• Entering customer and account data from source documents within set time limits

• Reviewing data for deficiencies or errors 

• Correcting any errors and incompatibilities

• Typing in data provided from customers

• Creating spreadsheets and tables

Data entry is something anyone can do and although it might not be the most exciting job every, it's a great way to get started freelancing. Whether you're a student, or you're already working but you want to get your foot in the door with freelancing, this is a great side hustle to get some projects under your belt. So If you have good keyboard skills and the ability to work under deadlines, then data entry is a great side hustle to consider.

See what fits your personality type the best and start from there even if you don't have any prior freelance experience or skills established yet. Use these side hustles to build solid case studies, get multiple 5-star reviews, and build your online reputation and portfolio up. From there, you can then start working on more high-paying projects down the line. If you like these side hustles,  I made a video here describing them more in-depth.
