Sure, our full-time job allows us to feed our family, buy those every-day necessities, and pay the rent. However, there are long-term objectives we must fund such as having children, college tuition for our children, buying a house, and yearly vacations.
Where do we get the money for those? It would be nice to get a promotion or increase our yearly income with a new higher-paying job.
These opportunities for raising our incomes aren’t easy to find. Perhaps, a side-hustle is what you need. What is a side-hustle? Simply put, a side-hustle is a second job. They will give you a second income, but they need to be more than a second job. Let’s look at three side-hustles that will give you the extra cash to get rid of some of your debt or save more for your future.
Online Side-Hustles
Do you have a computer? If so, going online is the place to go. Here are several suggestions for online side-hustles.
#1: Crafts
I, for one, love to crochet. In the past, I’ve crocheted ponchos, hats, scarves, and toilet paper covers. You may prefer knitting, sewing, or making jewelry. Whatever is your fancy, you can sell it online.
One way to get started is to look online for free or low-cost patterns. For example, I’ve crocheted ponchos and other items that I’ve gotten instructions for online for free.
According to Entrepreneur, you can sell your product on Etsy. For a cost of only 20 cents, you can list your product on this site with five photos for as long as four months. However, Etsy does require a 2.5 percent commission when you sell your product. Therefore, you should work that into your price for the item.
#2: Be an Online Tutor
To be qualified for this opportunity, you should have a college degree. The subjects you can teach maybe English, social studies, science, or math.
· A site you might try is Tutor.com. At Tutor.com, you will earn approximately $10 to $14 per hour. The amount you earn will depend upon the subject you tutor and the number of hours.
· Another online site to look into is Smart Thinking. At the Smart Thinking site, you simply click on “See job opportunities” and you will see a list of jobs you can apply to.
· At VIPKid, you can earn $22 an hour teaching English online.
· If you would like to earn money tutoring math students for subjects such as Calculus, Algebra, Trigonometry, or Geometry, you should try the Skooli site. When you get to the Skooli site, go down to the end of the page and click on “For tutors” under “ONLINE TUTORING”. You will find all the information needed to apply for tutoring at that site.
#3: Write Online
Many sites hire people to write online.
Sometimes, you write articles as a ghostwriter such as the Textbroker site. When you write as a ghostwriter, the person buying your article usually publishes it and your name is not used as a byline for the article.
A site you might write for is Demand Media Studios . The assignment rate of pay at this site ranges from $15 to $100. After going to the Demand site, you will see a list of topics to choose under “Freelance Writing Section”. You can choose a topic to write about. However, you must first be approved by the Demand Studios site.
Conclusion
Since a side-hustle is usually done by someone who has a full-time job besides the hustle, online job types are perfect. That is because you can make your hours based on your availability.
