Alright, let’s be real. I’m not exactly known for my boundless energy. In fact, if there were an Olympic sport for napping, I’d probably be a gold medalist. I’m the kind of person who believes that if you can do something sitting down, you should absolutely do it sitting down. My mantra is “work smart, not hard,” or as we say in India, “dimaag se kaam karo, taqat se nahi” – use your brain, not your brawn. So when I tell you that I’ve found a side hustle that makes me an extra ₹20,000 a month without breaking a sweat, you know I’m not kidding.
My life before this side hustle was… well, let’s just say it was the epitome of a typical Indian drama, the one where the hero is perpetually tired and has no time for himself. I was working my regular 9-to-5, battling the daily grind, constantly wishing I could just chill without feeling guilty. My bank account wasn’t exactly overflowing, and I was always on the lookout for ways to make some extra cash, but I wasn’t exactly willing to exhaust myself doing it. I wasn’t looking for a second job, but a lazy job, something that I could do with minimal effort, and from the comfort of my couch.
My pursuit for the perfect lazy side hustle began, as all my pursuits usually do, with a cup of chai and a whole lot of procrastination. You know how it is – you are trying to find something that is easy to do, almost like you are trying to find the remote when it is right there next to you all the time! Well that was me. I was constantly looking for a side hustle that didn’t require me to leave the comfort of my home, or to disrupt my usual schedule. I wanted to earn more, but I wanted to do it without breaking a sweat, without over exerting myself and without spending too much time.
My ‘aha’ moment came when I was trying to help my bhaiyya (brother) with his online business. He was always complaining about having to write blog posts, social media captions, and all that other content needed to make his business run effectively. And, you see, he’s not a writer. He is better at doing the business, not talking about it. I then realized that there must be others, just like him, who need someone to just talk about their business, their products, their brand, all in simple to understand words.
And that’s when it hit me: a side hustle that revolved around talking – something I’m naturally good at, and something I could do from the comfort of my own home, all without breaking a sweat. I decided to turn my talent for talking (or as my family calls it, “bak bak”), into a lucrative side hustle. I decided to offer my services as a “Content Narrator,” crafting compelling audio descriptions of anything and everything for online businesses. It was about using my voice to bring products and stories to life, all while I’m comfy and relaxed, wearing my favourite pyjamas.
So I put the word out, I built a simple website, and I started offering my voice-over services online. I targeted businesses that needed audio descriptions for their products, audio narrations for their blog posts and audio explanations for their video content. The response I received was more exciting than finding a ₹100 note in your old wallet. People loved my clear, easy-to-understand narrations and loved how I could bring their content to life with my voice. I was getting clients from all over the country, and suddenly my lazy side hustle started generating real cash.
And now? I’m earning ₹20,000 a month, and all while barely lifting a finger (okay, maybe I lift a finger to press ‘record’ now and then). I can work from my couch, my bed, or even my balcony while sipping on my chai and enjoying the view. My work-life balance now looks like a yoga retreat – relaxed, calm, and utterly stress-free. I’ve traded my strenuous work schedule for a relaxed, peaceful and profitable routine. It’s the lazy person’s dream come true.

Now, I’m not going to pretend that this all happened overnight. It took a bit of effort to set up my system and to get my name out there. I had to learn some basic recording techniques, create a portfolio, and learn the art of online marketing. But once everything was in place, the whole operation was as smooth as butter. It was easy to start and it was even easier to run and maintain. I also learned the secret ingredient to success – consistency is the key.
The biggest secret behind my success was that I was utilizing my natural talent, I was doing something that felt effortless and enjoyable, and I was able to leverage the power of the internet to connect with clients who needed my skills. I didn’t have to learn a new skill or put in hours of intensive work, I simply embraced who I already was and turned that into an income generating opportunity. And it’s also about being strategic with your time, and knowing what you are good at.
And that’s exactly where I can help you. If you’re also dreaming of a side hustle that doesn’t require you to break a sweat, I can show you the way.
