So many of us find it harder than ever to save money that we have to find an extra job to keep our finances afloat. The problem is that most of us think about getting a part-time job or something on the side that is purely for the purpose of earning money, but why can’t you have fun with it? The fact is if you’re already working full-time and you need to do something extra, you can benefit from a job that you can do on the side that, in essence, doesn’t feel like you are working. Let’s show you some approaches that can make a big difference.
Teaching Live Classes Online
Lots of people end up working abroad teaching skills, whether it’s skiing or yoga on a holiday resort, but for those people who are tied to one specific location, they have to make sure they can maximise their weekends or their evenings without needing to go far. Of course, there’s a lot to be said for going abroad to earn a lot of money, but if you are working at home already it’s not too much of a stretch to start teaching a class to children. Lots of people teach English as a foreign language, but others utilise other skills to teach. You can find a number of resources to help you get started in tutoring and many companies can help you pick the subject and the curriculum.
Starting an Online Store
If you start an online store, you may have to work more than you think, as there is that sense of having to keep the customer satisfied, which could mean that if you get an order at 7 at night, you’ll have to work on to make sure the item gets posted. But online stores, such as eCommerce platforms like Etsy give you some semblance of freedom. You can either purchase items that you can upgrade, or you can make your own special items to sell. The great thing about online stores like Etsy is that you have a lot of support so you have a bit more control over your brand. Lots of people do it and it can be fun, but you have to remember to keep yourself separate from the competition.
Selling Images Online
It takes a while to build up earnings doing this, but there are a number of online stock photo platforms that will pay good money to use your photos. If you have a flair for photography, you can earn cash every time the images are purchased.
Play and Test Video Games
For many people, this is the dream hobby, but you need to find the right companies. You can’t approach a company like Nintendo for a job, but there are companies that work with independent contractors around the world. You can also do this by testing out apps, where you can earn points by playing pre-release or existing games that you can redeem for gift cards.
Who says earning money has to be boring? With some of these approaches, you can make sure that you are having a little bit of fun while you are boosting your bank balance.
