Side Hustles For Barbers (Best Ways To Make More Money) -

Being a barber is an overlooked career. It’s good for people who are creative and like to work with their hands. But, it’s not always the best-paying career.

In the hustle and bustle of a busy life as a barber, it can be difficult to find time to earn extra income. In this post, we have compiled some side hustles that you might want to try out for yourself!

Part Time Security Job

Security jobs have a wide variety of hours you can work. This makes it one of the best side hustles for barbers. You can work an additional 4-6 hours at night as a security guard.

In order to become a security guard you need to be at least 18 years old and sometimes you need to get a certification.

Ridesharing and Food Delivery

These are on most lists for obvious reasons. Both of these jobs offer a lot of flexibility with the hours you can work.

You can stop early if you want to since there’s no specific timeframe you need to be working. So if you hit your daily goal monetarily a couple hours early you can stop early and use the rest of the hours to relax.

Start a Vlog on Youtube

Documenting your hair cutting journey and uploading videos that teach people how to do certain cuts or how to style their hair a certain way is a great way to make more money doing what you love.

It may take a while to get going, but if you are consistent with your content, you can make a lot of money over time.

You can make money through ads, as well as affiliate marketing recommending different styling products people can use.

Another benefit to this side hustle is that you’ll get more content you can use for instagram, TikTok and Facebook as well. This can help attract more clients.

All you’ll have to do is shorten certain clips from the long form videos and re upload them to those other platforms.

Start a Blog

Starting a blog is the same concept as YouTube but in written form. You can share your knowledge about haircuts or barbering techniques.

You can make money via Adsense as well as affiliate marketing as well.

One thing you can do is make videos and put those videos into writing. This way you can double the traffic and potential income from one idea.

If you’re interested in blogging I recommend to take the Passive Income Geek course created by Morten Storgaard. This course has taught me so much and I utilise the information to make content on this blog.

Start Up Your Own Barber Van Business

This side hustle is a little more difficult to get started but can be very profitable.

You’ll need some start up money as well as a lot of marketing and advertising.

The benefit to this side hustle, though, is that you are your own boss and you set your own hours.

This may be a better option if you have been in the barbering industry for awhile and have built up a clientele base.

Utilising apps like booksy can be a great way to expand your clientele even further and so random people can book appointments.

This is a great option especially for people who don’t like to be in the same place all the time. You can visit all surrounding towns and see different scenery while doing what you love to do.

Write Ebooks

Another great way to make money is writing ebooks.

You can write about your experiences as a barber and offer advice on how you do things.

You can write about different hair types and how to style them correctly, or the best cuts for different head shapes or hairlines. The opportunities are endless for what you can do and once you create an ebook you can get sales for years without doing anything but the upfront work.

Create Courses

Creating courses is another good way to make extra money for a barber. An example course would be how to give a mid fade or something along those lines.

You can combine your videos with written content to make more valuable courses.

There are many course platforms you can create your course on. All you’ll have to do is take some time upfront to create the course and then it’ll be passive income for you moving forward.

Become a Pet Sitter

If you’re someone who likes dogs, becoming a pet sitter is something you can do.

Using platforms like Rover and Dog Vacay you can find pet sitting gigs in your area.

If you have a home that’s suited for watching dogs, this could be a great option for you.

Create Your Own Hairstyle Products

Creating your own hairstyle products is a great way to make money as a barber.

You can create products for all sorts of different hair types. This is a great way to make extra money because you can get the word out by introducing your products to all of your clients.

You can also create social media pages on different platforms for the products you make and get people to buy them that way.

There are a lot of different ways you can go about this and it just takes some creativity on your part.

Conclusion:

There are many different ways to make money as a barber, it’s just about finding the one that is the best for you.
