There’s this question everyone seems to be asking lately whether in group chats, on TikTok, at 1am when we’re spiraling through yet another “side-hustle hacks” video: “How do I make money from home… without needing to be an influencer, coder, or certified guru?”
I want to share one of the simplest ways to earn money from home: helping other humans with things you already know how to do. You don’t need to be expert-level. Not “I took a six-week course and now I’m a productivity ninja”. Just… normal human skills.
Wizelp is the App making this possible; a “live help marketplace,” where people jump into quick video calls to help each other solve problems, learn skills, or just get guidance.
What Is Wizelp?
Wizelp is a place where people can hop onto real-time video calls to get help from real humans. Not forums or a pre-recorded YouTube tutorial where the guy talks for 57 minutes before showing the actual tip.
People go to Wizelp for things like fixing a DIY issue, study help, language practice or cooking support. From life skills like budgeting to job application help, or even just talking to someone. On the flip side, you can sign up as the helper and get paid per minute for your time. You don’t need to be a certified teacher, a master craftsman, or a pro. Just willing to help someone who’s one step behind you.
How It Works
Here’s the “helper” version, the way you’d make money:
Sign up and create your profile. Add what you can help with, as small or random as you want.
Choose your skill level. You can select beginner, intermediate, advanced, or pro. No pressure or fake expertise.
Set your rates. Get paid per minute, at whatever price you set.
Go live & earn whenever you want. Calls come through when people need your help and you accept them when you’re available.
There’s also a cool feature: live events. You can host a group session such as a “Beginner Italian Chat Hour” or “Basic Guitar Strumming Workshop.” People join, you get paid, everyone wins.
”But I’m Not an Expert in Anything…”
I promise you, you are. Just not in the dramatic “LinkedIn thought leader” kind of way. Here are things people genuinely pay for because they need a human to help:
- Language Skills: Millions of people want to practice conversationally.
- Homework or study help: You can explain fractions, chemistry basics, or GCSE revision topics.
- DIY basics: If you’ve ever fixed a shelf, assembled IKEA furniture, or installed a curtain rod, you can help a beginner.
- Cooking: some people just need a buddy in the kitchen to guide them through a recipe or technique.
- Guitar, piano, crafts or hobbies: helping someone get past those awkward early phases.
- Simple human connection: Wizelp encourages users to “have a chat”. Loneliness is real and connecting to have a chat over a shared interest is underestimated.
A Quick Scenario
Imagine you set your profile with two simple skills:
- “English conversation practice”
- “Beginner guitar help”
You set your rate to something modest, like £0.50–£1.00 per minute. One evening you get a call from a student in Spain who wants help practicing English conversation. You chat for 25 minutes and that is £12 earned.
The next day, someone wants help tuning their guitar and learning a basic chord. A 17-minute call is another quick £8–10. Then on Sunday you host a 45-minute “Learn Your First Guitar Song” group session. Three people join and you make more in under an hour than you would scrolling TikTok in bed.
None of that required “expert-level knowledge.” Just being a person who knows a little more than someone else.
