The 2025 Income Breakdown for Your Side Hustle Success

Let’s be honest: you’ve seen people talk about “making money online” by building websites and wondered if it’s legit—or just another internet myth.

You’re not alone.

As a certified Entrepreneurship and Business coach and the founder of WOWE Mobile First Pro, I’ve helped students, stay-at-home parents, solopreneurs, and entrepreneurs start real income-generating side hustles by creating mobile-first websites. And not just any websites—high-performing, professional, and ready to dominate today’s mobile-driven market.

So, let’s cut through the fluff and talk numbers.

How much can you really make selling websites in 2025?
This report breaks it all down—income potential, client types, project pricing, and recurring revenue—based on real-world data and current market trends.

📊 The Website Design Economy in 2025

In 2025, 97% of small businesses are investing in their digital presence, and more than 85% of web traffic comes from mobile devices. That means one thing:

Mobile-first websites are no longer optional—they’re a necessity.

Companies are looking for professionals who can build fast, secure, mobile-optimized sites—and they’re willing to pay for it. That’s where YOU come in.

Using a platform like WOWE Mobile First Pro, you can launch websites faster, with tons of beautiful ready-made templates, secure hosting, and eCommerce tools built in—without being a tech genius or investing thousands upfront.

Let’s break down what website builders are actually earning.

💵 Income Breakdown: What Website Designers Are Earning in 2025

Here’s the average per-project earning and monthly income potential based on how many websites you create per month:

Let’s say you build just 2 simple websites a month for $1,000 each and offer ongoing maintenance for $100/month per client:

• One-time build income: $2,000/month
• Recurring income (5 clients): $500/month
• Total monthly income: $2,500+

And that’s on the low end.

🔥 Freelancers and side hustlers using WOWE Mobile First Pro to build and sell mobile-first eCommerce or app-style websites are earning $3,000–$10,000+/month depending on workload and business model.

🎯 Why This Works as a Side Hustle in 2025

You’re probably not trying to quit your day job tomorrow. You’re looking for extra income that fits your schedule, uses your creativity, and works.

Here’s why selling websites still tops the list of side hustles:

✅ Flexible hours: Build nights, weekends, or whenever you want

✅ High profit margins: Low overhead, high value services

✅ Minimal startup cost: Especially with platforms like WOWE that handle security, hosting, and AI content for you

✅ No tech degree needed: Templates + tools do the heavy lifting

✅ Scalable model: Start part-time, grow to full-time when you’re ready

You can literally design a website from your phone, at home, while your kids nap or after work. It’s that accessible.

🔁 Where Recurring Income Comes In

The real money isn’t just in building websites. It’s in what happens next.

Smart freelancers now bundle their design services with:

• 💼 Hosting & security plans
• 🔒 Mobile updates & backups
• ✍️ Monthly blog or content creation (with AI help)
• 🛍️ eCommerce management or product updates

These extras can add $50–$300/month per client, which adds up fast.

Imagine managing 10 small business sites with monthly retainers of $100 each. That’s $1,000/month in passive-ish income—on top of new builds.

With WOWE Mobile First Pro’s secure cloud-based builder and built-in AI, you can offer these services without burning out.

💡 Real Talk: What Determines Your Income?

Here are the biggest factors that influence your success selling websites:

1.  How you price your services (stop undervaluing your skills)

2.  How well you target your audience (niche down to stand out)

3.  How efficiently you build (dozens of ready-made, astonishing templates that will allow you to be online immediately - with style)

4.  Whether you offer recurring packages (hello, passive income)

5.  How you market yourself (your website is your resume)
