In one of Doni’s recent videos, she reveals details on the five side hustles that people can try without any upfront costs.
She said: “So if you’re looking for a way to make more money, here are five side hustles that you can start today, without spending any money upfront.
“The first one is to post services on Fiverr and Upwork – literally if you do anything, you can turn it into a service and put it on Upwork.
“Whether you are a chemist, you’re a copywriter, you can write formulas for people, if you do ads, if you do user generated content, the possibilities are endless.”

The second idea to make money without a full-time job, according to Doni, is to be a “virtual assistant but the key is to specialise in something”.
She continued: “Whether you are really good at content creation and social media marketing, or maybe you’re really good at copywriting or customer service, whatever it is, find the skills that you’re best at and that you can use to help other people.

“Create packages and let people hire you as a virtual assistant and you can charge a premium per hour for you to do those services.
“I really recommend being a virtual, executive assistant, because you can charge more and those tasks are more related to people’s daily routines, so you would be helping someone to basically run their lives.”
Next, Doni recommends becoming an Amazon affiliate to earn some money.
She added: “The third idea is to be an Amazon affiliate and what you’re going to do is create a TikTok account, showing the things in your house that you’ve already purchased and explain why these are your favourite Amazon products.
“Use hashtags like #AmazonFavourites, #AmazonFinds, #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt and then people come and find your account and will then purchase stuff that you’re talking about through your affiliate links.
“The best thing about Amazon, even if they don’t buy what you said for them to purchase, if they click your link and they go to Amazon through your link and purchase something else in the next 72 hours, you make commission on everything that they purchase over those 72 hours so it’s really, really good.”
Not only this, but doing research studies can be a great way to earn money without needing a full-time job.
Doni explained: “The fourth thing is to do user research studies – go to Google and look up ‘user testing’ or ‘user interviews’.
“You will find companies that are looking for people to test out their websites, their products or give feedback on certain things so that they can improve their products.
“And you make money from giving them their feedback.”
Finally, Doni stressed that becoming an influencer project manager or a podcast project manager are great, simple ways to earn a living without needing to sit at an office desk for eight hours a day.
She concluded: “The last one is to be an influencer project manager or a podcast project manager, where you are helping them organise their apprenticeships, you might even help them pitch different collaborations with brands.
“You would help them organise a schedule for them to produce all of the content, for a podcast you would be scheduling interviews.
“This is a great role that you can pitch to any influencer or podcaster that is doing really well, that may not have management just yet.”
TikTok users appreciated Doni’s helpful tips and quickly took to the comments to express this.
One person said: “Thank you for this”.
Another added: “Wow thank you so much. Appreciate this”.
