*If you’re an introvert and looking for side hustles that won’t require you to socially interact with people, there are a few jobs that offer minimum human-to-human contact that could bring in thousands of dollars.

Web MD defines an introvert as someone “with qualities of a personality type known as introversion, which means that they feel more comfortable focusing on their inner thoughts and ideas, rather than what’s happening externally. They enjoy spending time with just one or two people, rather than large groups or crowds.”

Per the report, here are some signs you might be an introvert:

  • Need quiet to concentrate
  • Are reflective
  • Are self-aware
  • Take time making decisions
  • Feel comfortable being alone
  • Don’t like group work
  • Prefer to write rather than talk
  • Feel tired after being in a crowd
  • Have few friendships, but are very close with these friends
  • Daydream or use their imaginations to work out a problem
  • Retreat into their own mind to rest

As reported by CNBC, below are four recommended side hustles for introverts who struggle with in-person social interaction:

  1. Take surveys

If you’ve got a few spare minutes and like sharing your opinions, consider taking surveys on sites like Survey Junkie and InboxDollars that pay cash or gift cards.

“You’re not going to make thousands of dollars a month doing this,” says Jen Glantz, founder of Bridesmaid for Hire and the creator of the Monday Pick-Me-Up and Odd Jobs newsletter — but the couple of dollars per hour that you will earn can add up.

2. Sell your clothing and apparel

If you’ve got a closet full of clothes to get rid of, consider selling them on sites like Poshmark, Mercari, OfferUp and eBay. If you have luxury items, you can also try selling on The RealReal.

“It’s really, really worth it,” says Glantz. “If you have downtime and you want to make cash on the weekend, it’s the best time to list things.”

3. Sell printable items like calendars

If you’re organized and have a flair for design, consider using tools like Canva or even Google Docs to create digital calendars, checklists or holiday cards for people to buy on sites like Etsy and print on their own.

“I’ve bought media kit templates off there,” says Glantz as an example.

4. Start a medium blog

If you love writing and have a lot to say about a given topic, consider starting a Medium blog.

To be eligible for either, however, you’ll need to have at least 100 followers, have published at least one story and be at least 18 years old. And keep in mind, you’ll want to write a lot ― “I would be doing five posts a week for a year, if you really want to do this,” says Ha. Most writers make under $100 per month.

Various blogs and media outlets also pay contributors for freelance pieces.
