Do you want to make some extra money to help out with household bills? Perhaps you’d really like to take a special vacation, and the ability to earn more money will get you there more quickly.
Whatever your reason, a side hustle is a great opportunity to make some extra cash on the side. Side hustles are also a great way to build your skills, meet new people and present you with career opportunities that you might never have considered before.
Online Tutoring
Wherever there are students, there is a need for tutoring! Becoming a tutor can be a lucrative side hustle option, particularly if you have experience in in-demand subject areas such as math or writing.
Being a tutor is broadly the same as being a teacher. You will have a set curriculum to deliver over a set period of time, either to an individual student or a group. The difference is that you usually work part-time, and more often than not, you will be able to work online.
Tutoring is quite often well paid, and possible to fit in around a day job as your students will be spending the day times in school.
Shipping
Do you own a car or a van? The chances are that someone somewhere needs to get something moved from one place to another and will pay you to do it!
If you enjoy driving, shipping goods can be an easy way to make some extra money around your day job.
You can find shipping jobs on websites like shiply.com, where people requiring a shipment to be moved post their requirements and people quote their prices. The website is totally transparent, meaning that you can see what other people are bidding for jobs, making it easier to be paid a fair amount.
Freelance Writing
If you can write well, then the chances are that you can find someone to pay you to do it! Writing work is almost entirely based online, and it is possible to fit in around your existing schedule, so it’s a good option for a side hustle.
It’s a prerequisite that businesses have a website, and those websites need to be filled with interesting content that keeps their customers interested. The problem is, most business owners are so busy with the day-to-day running of their businesses that they don’t have time to write that content. That’s where you come in.
There are lots of freelance writing sites where you can find writing work. Try one out and bid for jobs that look interesting to you.
Driving
If you like driving and enjoy meeting new people, then a good side hustle option is driving for companies like Lyft and Uber.
As with all of these side Hustle options, it’s easy to fit driving in around your other work. When you are signed up to drive with them, you will get access to an app. When you’re available for work, set yourself to available and then start picking up the jobs that are offered to you.
