Hey friends! For all of you that want a quick buck, here is a ridiculously easy, quick hustle to do.
Background Removal Hustle
The concept is simple; you remove the background from pictures.
You don't have Photoshop? No problem, because you don't need it!
You'll use a free website for that, and with the click of a button, you got yourself money!
Easy, right?
Note: Keep in mind this method is mostly tailored for beginners and individuals in third-world countries with very small daily wages.
It cannot scale to big numbers, but it's a good place to start. Expect $5-25 USD a day within a few days, taking 1 minute per order of $5.
Step One
Register an account on Fiverr.com and PeoplePerHour.com, as well as any local freelancing platforms that offer package deals that you can do your research on.
Create gig listings with attractive metadata (titles, descriptions, images, tags, etc.) and somewhat differentiate your gig from other existing ones under the same job. Also, on Fiverr, try to create multiple gigs of the same thing titled differently with different pictures, Eg. "I will remove the background of your picture for you" as well as "I will professionally crop out your picture's background", you get the gist. Don't copy graphics and titles from others, you want to rank first so you have to try to find a way around that. It will take MUUUUUUULTIPLE ATTEMPTS to get this going smoothly, and this is the most important part of the job.
Fiverr is 100000% trial and error. You have to keep adjusting when something doesn't work. That's just how it is. You might need to touch a gig once to get orders flowing in, but you might need to touch it 100 times. It's just how it is! Make sure you're making the right changes.
Step Two
Go to Facebook groups under "Gig Promotion" and exchange gig likes with others, this isn't confirmed BUT IT CAN PROBABLY HELP, whenever I was doing that when promoting some other gigs under my freelancing journey to $100K here on the forum, it kind of works, or it was a coincidence. Nobody knows. You can also buy one Fiverr review from someone for $5 so you get a good start. Install the Fiverr app on your mobile so you catch messages from potential buyers as well on the go without having to have the dashboard on your computer 24/7.
Get your thing going just like that, then price your gig for $5. Say you can do up to 5 images for $5, but most buyers will only need one.
Step Three
Tweak! Tweak! Tweak!
If you're not getting orders, you're doing something wrong. Either your gigs look like absolute shit or you are unlucky with metadata, competing with keywords that you cannot win due to the insane volume of traffic others have on that specific thing.
Step Four
You got orders flowing from all platforms? Congrats, your work has paid off. Now, what do you do? Simple!
Go to https://remove.bg and upload the clients' pictures. Download. Done. It's just like a YouTube MP3 converter site. That simple, no accounts and anything required. AI renders the background off for you.
Before sending, make sure that it's done properly. Correct any imperfections if they exist via https://photopea.com or Photoshop if you have it installed.
Boom, baboom. Orders completed instantly! Just like that. You can also implement more similar gigs or teach yourself how to do something more specific/advanced that might be in higher demand, lots of opportunities. Make sure you put as many gigs out on as many platforms as possible!
Jump on the grind, you got this!
