So… you want to make money online, but you’re not sure where to start?
You’ve heard the buzzwords — freelancing, remote jobs, passive income — but what no one tells you is this: most people spend more time watching side hustle YouTube videos than actually building one.
Let’s change that.
If you know (or want to learn) the basics of Bookkeeping, Cybersecurity, or WordPress, you already have the building blocks of a profitable digital side hustle.
Let’s break it down — with a little fun and zero fluff.
1. Bookkeeping: The Underrated Superpower
Forget spreadsheets and glasses at the edge of your nose — bookkeeping is no longer a boring bean-counting job.
It’s:
Essential for every small business
In-demand for freelancers and virtual assistants
Easy to learn using tools like Xero, Sage, and QuickBooks
Side Hustle Ideas:
Offer bookkeeping services to small businesses.
Help Etsy sellers or eCommerce owners keep track of income & expenses.
Package your skills into a monthly retainer (hello, recurring income!)
Learn bookkeeping with our hands-on course that even your grandma could follow.
2. Cybersecurity: Because the Internet is Wild
Whether you’re freelancing or building your own site, cybersecurity is no longer optional — it’s survival.
Hackers aren’t just targeting banks. They’re going after small businesses, freelancers, and yes — course creators like you.
Side Hustle Ideas:
Offer basic security audits to small businesses and WordPress users.
Teach “cyber hygiene” to other freelancers or remote teams.
Set up 2FA, backups, and secure hosting for clients.
Our cybersecurity beginners course will have you sounding like Mr. Robot in under 2 weeks (minus the hoodie).
3. WordPress: Build the Internet Your Way
Here’s the truth: WordPress powers 43% of all websites. And no, you don’t need to know how to code.
If you can drag, drop, and follow instructions (like the ones in our course 👀), you can build:
Portfolios
Online stores
Membership sites
Blogs
…or freelance for others who don’t want to do it themselves.
Side Hustle Ideas:
Build websites for local businesses.
Set up blogs or landing pages for coaches, tutors, or influencers.
Combine this with your cybersecurity knowledge and charge a premium.
Start with “How to Build Your First Website” in our WordPress course — zero tech stress, pinky promise.

Combine Them and You’re a Digital Weapon
Imagine this:
> You build a website for a personal trainer →
Secure it with basic cybersecurity →
Offer monthly bookkeeping support for their business.
Boom. That’s a client worth £150–£300/month, and they’ll love you for making their life easier.
