COPY THAT I’m a freelance copywriter – I made almost $34,000 a month with just a few hours of work each week

THE ideal side hustle is one that gives you a decent amount of pay for a small amount of work, and one TikToker found a way to maximize this perfect pair.

Mason is a freelance copywriter who’s sharing his tips on how to find gigs and rake in cash on his TikTok, CardinalMason.

He’s picked up several copywriting jobs that each only takes him a few hours a week.

Each one paid him no less than $1,200 a month, adding up to just under $34,000.

Mason broke down what he did, how long it took him and how much he got paid for each job.

One of the gigs only took him two or three hours a month to finish and it still paid $1,500.

The full breakdown

As a copywriter, Mason was writing things like newsletters and advertisements for different agencies and people.

He did mention he works pretty quickly, so it may take a bit longer for a beginner to be able to handle as many jobs as he did.

Here’s what he made in a month and how much time he spent on each job:

  • $5,000 a month working 10 hours a week
  • $4,500 a month working three to four hours a week
  • $1,500 a month working two to three hours a month
  • $2,200 a month working an hour a week
  • $3,000 a month working one to two hours a week
  • $1,200 a month working an hour a week
  • $3,500 a month working five hours a week
  • $6,000 a month working four hours a week
  • $2,400 a month working two hours a week
  • $4,600 a month working for six to eight hours a week

This totals 40 hours worked a week, which is the same as a regular five-day workweek.

Assuming Mason does the same amount of work every week, this is pretty similar to working a regular full-time job but with much higher pay.

It’s important to remember there are tax implications for side hustles and freelance work.

You’ll have to report the extra income to the Internal Revenue Service if you earn $400 or more.

If your net earnings from self-employment are less than $400, you still have to file an income tax return if you meet any other filing requirement listed in Form 1040.

Other side hustles

If you’re interested in marketing but not necessarily copywriting, there are other options.

Affiliate marketing has grown in popularity as almost any company you can think of starting its own program.

TikToker Amy shared a program from Target that allows you to work from home.

Target has a program that allows you to work from home and choose your own hours,” Amy said in the video.

She added that you can make “an extra 3-5k a month by promoting their products on social media.

As an affiliate marketer, she promotes a product to an audience.

For each sale driven from your audience, you will receive a percentage-based commission.

Since there’s no cost to join an affiliate program, the side hustle is relatively low-risk and will always be an opportunity to make a steady passive income.

But it also requires a fair amount of patience, and you have no control over whether or not your audience will actually buy a product off your website.

The Sun shared a Google side hustle where you can make over $100 an hour – it’s free to get started.
