5 Tips to Make More Money

💸 1. Offer a Done-for-You Service in Your Field

You don’t need a full-blown business. Just find one thing you’re good at and package it.

 • Graphic designer? Offer a “Brand in a Week” service.

 • Analyst? Create a one-time data report or dashboard for small biz owners.

 • Teacher? Sell curriculum resources or offer tutoring.

✅ Pro tip: Price it well. You’re not on Fiverr.

💬 2. Social Media & Content Help for Small Biz

So many Muslim-owned brands and coaches are drowning in content stress. Offer to:

 • Write their captions

 • Schedule their posts

 • Help them repurpose old content

This works especially well if you already know your way around IG or TikTok!

🕌 3. Eid/Islamic Event-Based Side Hustles

Think: limited-time, community-specific services.

 • Henna services before Eid

 • Custom gift boxes or baked goods

 • Pop-up booth at your local masjid/souk

These short bursts can bring in hundreds if done right.

🎓 4. Teach What You Know (Live or Passive)

You don’t need to be “the expert of all experts” to teach something valuable.

 • Offer a 60-min Zoom class on something you’re confident in (personal finance, career skills, skincare for hijabis 👀)

 • Record a mini-course or template bundle and sell it on Skool

Start with what your friends already ask you about - that’s your golden zone.

5. Summer = Time to Position for a Raise or Promotion

Not every “income boost” comes from a side hustle. Sometimes it’s internal.

 • Schedule a career check-in with your manager

 • Document your wins and results this quarter

 • Consider upskilling or certification (even a short one) that puts you in line for more money

A Quick Mindset Check

This isn’t about overworking or feeling behind.

It’s about tapping into your strengths and increasing your income options on your terms.

You can love your 9–5 and still want a little extra. You can not love your job and still make strategic moves. You don’t have to wait until January to make a change.

Your Next Step: Make Your Money Work

Having more money is especially fun when you’ve learned how to manage it! And this is why I created Master Your Money, the course for Muslim women who want to take control of their finances - without the fluff, guilt, or compromising on their values.

✅ Budget smarter

✅ Pay off debt

You got this,
