Top 4 Lucrative Side Hustle Ideas For South Africans In 2024

📆 Check Out My Service Offering As A Fee-Based, Independent, Lifestyle Financial Planner: my.profileme.a...
2024 presents massive opportunities for us local S’africans to make extra money through online Side Hustles. And given the shocking Unemployment Rate of South Africa, we need to seek and seize opportunities that expand past our local borders.
I’ve tried my own hand at many different online business ideas over the years, some who failed and some who succeeded, and in 2023, I managed to make well over R 300 000 from my various side hustle income sources.
So in today’s video, I am going to share 4 Business Ideas that I think have a lot of potential this year to try and help out those who want to build a better life for themselves and their families.
If you have any questions, please feel free to gooi them in the comments.
Lekker!

It’s such a relief to hear a finance KZbinr give advice that applies directly to a South African audience

[@MoneyMarx]

South Africans deserve access to free good financial content, and if I can play a small part in making that possible, I will achieve my purpose 💪

The best side hustle is creating a youtube channel talking about side hustles. With that being said, great video. More real then most.

[@MoneyMarx]

Thanks man. Jup you’re right. Being able to share knowledge and experiences with others on a social media platform is a great side hustle and that can sometimes unlock other revenue opportunities 🙂

[@WatchrOne]

Thanks for the vid boet, I'm actually Namibian and you're the first Southern African youtuber that speaks clear and makes sense brother. Thanks for the ideas, I'll work on it ASAP 💯

[@rfh629]

Love your vids! Can you please make a video on how to save money as a student and financial mistakes to avoid in your 20’s? ☺️

[@Mathew_S]

This is a great idea

[@jurieccilliers]

Learn to cook. Don't eat out, buy barista coffee or jol. Do your homework (which you've determined yourself). Keep away from social media, content sites and games as much as possible. Suffer this for 4 years and be thankful thereafter.

[@MoneyMarx]

This is a great idea for a future video! I’ve added it to my list and will get working on it soon 🙂

Invest in a retirement annuity. I know it sounds like weird advice, but the earlier you start, the longer you have to benefit from compounding interest and secure your golden years.

[@abnerblanche2165]

I love that this guy is as honest as he is and I am so happy to finally have an SA finacial channel to watch, definetly deserved a new subscriber

[@mariabarking1751]

Very sensible advice, pls carry on showcasing us to the world. BTW just clicked on this because it was unusual to see someone from South Africa.🙂

This "old man" has been listening to your posts for a while now. Decided to join. Keen to learn and get started. I have been perusing on-line ventures and platforms for many years now.I myself, was a financial adviser who left the industry for education 10 years ago. "Nou wil ek leer by iemand, plaaslik so jy, wat 'die padjie al gestap het' en sukses, gekoppel met slim en harde werk, stelselmatig sukses beleef."

[@veronicaphiri7432]

Pretty inspirational gent - I love seeing local youth whom I can relate to, doing fantastic. I appreciate you highlighting that the magic is in just getting started and avoiding perfectionism paralysis. Just subbed! 🦓🌼

i thank god for your existence

[@Hoosain-w5d]

Great video. The problem with the masses is not the lack of opportunities but rather lack of willingness to try. They are lazy who expects everything for free. I've started 2 side hustle online businesses which made over 200k last year and hoping for even bigger numbers this year. It takes hard work and perseverance which most people don't have. They expect results instantly. Focus on long term success.

[@lusizo10nkabinde]

And those side hustle are...?

[@Hoosain-w5d]

don't ask what I'm doing. Find your own path. Learn skills that you can sell.

[@MoneyMarx]

Wow that is really impressive! Well done! I agree. The opportunities are plentiful, one just needs to look differently at the world to see how you can solve problems, as opposed to complaining about them. All the best with your side hustles. I hope they klap high numbers this year 💪

[@tomnyleegb7745]

At least someone who know how to be an honest and straightforward citizen telling it like it is and encourage people to earn something extra or even as a career

[@GreaseAndGravel]

Pieter!! Wow, ek kan nie glo hoe jou groei laat waai het nie. Dit is amazing man! Lekker

[@Meisha-san]

[@eileengouws3922]

Your video content is clear and video qaulity is really good

[@sweeflyboy]

Semi-professional photographer here - in my opinion, the BEST way to learn this specific skill for free is to join the photography team at your church. There are always people willing to help you learn, and you can practice just about every Sunday with valuable feedback from them. You usually can use the church's camera so you don't need to invest in your own to start, as well.

[@madladgamerz1686]

I currently have a whole career in the videography end editing world because as a young kid i served on the camera team at church. Absolute blessing for all the years spent serving, a massive skillset that i can utilize to make future for myself and my family. 10/10 would recommend!

[@falcon9420]

Potential video/series idea A video/series about how you start your financial journey and grow it to be financially stable similar to the 7 babysteps video you made

[@devindasilva8118]

Well done man!🎉

[@priocapt]

Oh, my guy, your little inferences and inserts are ON POINT! Made me laugh repeatedly. Do you have someone editing for you now, or still doing it yourself?

[@MoneyMarx]

Thanks! I edited this one myself, but I am in the process of training an editor :)

Dear Best Person For Those With No Financial Knowledge. Can you kindly make a video or videos regarding the best options or ways to buy certain things like your first car and house, which buying strategy gives less interest, whether using loan from the bank is best than having to rely on the dealership to seek such for us. Please help. And if deposits are really necessary

[@geejwentzel]

Thank you!

[@Zizzy7]

So this is a general question I have regarding side hustles. If I get paid per hour and putting those hours into my consulting/contracting job rather than putting the time into side hustles I would most likely make more money.. so why would I do the side hustles if it causes way more things to stress about? Would you say this is mostly for people with full time work and cannot work extra hours? Obviously if you can create something to make you a passive income, that is great..

[@novelist_network]

Only 5 years 😂 I was only able to start publishing books on Amazon in 2022 - only around then did they start paying us electronically. Before then they wanted to mail cheques

[@TheGamingEevee8]

I did try KZbin, but it definitely didn't work for me. The amount of effort didn't translate to my channel success.

[@tloumathapo754]

Thank you for not selling us courses😅 for that I will subscribe to your channel.

[@el-shanegrove7461]

Would you mind doing a video on platforms that help you track your wealth, which South Africans can use w/o the use of a VPN. A platform where you can link your bank account and all your trading/financial platforms, to get your "net worth" on one page - if there is a platform like that for South Africans
