There are certain situations in life when your regular paycheck simply won’t cut it. On a regular month, you have just enough to cover your expenses, but when those “festive” months start to pile up and you have to worry about Christmas presents, birthday parties, or if it’s that time of year when you have to renew your wardrobe, some income on the side will come in handy.
This is why it is a good idea to find a part-time job on the side – something that you can do when you have free time on your hands. Without further ado, here are 3 jobs that you can do whenever you want, which will bring you that influx of cash you so desperately need.
Freelance Writing
Remember all those essays and various writing tasks you did at school? When was the last time you actually used the skills you acquired this way? Freelance writing is just the answer. Nowadays, people need content for all sorts of things. Chances are that you will find a client that sells your favorite type of product or service – writing content for such a client will be very easy for you.
Brush up on those writing skills, check out popular freelance writing platforms, create an account and start responding to proposals. Make sure that your cover letter is crisp and to the point – clients don’t have time to read through walls of text.
With a bit of luck and a healthy dose of persistence, you will be able to earn enough on the side for two or three vacations per year. Who knows?
Online Surveys
If you are one of those people who value their opinion and who have a few smart things to say about a plethora of topics, online surveys are your new bread and butter. The point of this type of work is to – you guessed it – complete surveys online. Companies big and small need this data to help them decide which course of action to take next and they are more than willing to pay you for your honest opinion.
Open your browser and search for paid online surveys. Make sure to check the authenticity of the survey site – you can check reviews and testimonials to ascertain whether this site is legit or not. If everything checks out, create an account and start surveying. A good thing about this type of activity is that you can do it every day, on your mobile, while you are doing something else – commuting, drinking coffee, etc. It is rather convenient.
Stock Photography
This option is not for everyone, but rather for those people who have a decent camera – or who can borrow a decent camera from someone close. When we say decent, we mean a camera that is not a kid’s toy, but rather something semi-professional. These people like to go about their day with their camera around their neck or in their backpack and, when they see something they like, they photograph it.
You can try to upload those photos you took during your casual strole on various stock photo websites. Make sure that you tag them properly and, after that, you can just wait. Chances are that someone will be looking for what you have on your profile. When someone likes your photo, he or she can purchase it and you get a percentage of that purchase.
A good thing about this job is that you can totally forget about your stock photo profile. After a while, when you log in, you might be surprised when you see the sum you’ve earned. Plus, there are certain bonuses and various other opportunities that you can pursue. Be sure to read their terms of service thoroughly.
Well, there you have it. If you are thinking that you need just a little more cash to have enough to cover absolutely everything that you need, perhaps you will find a solution if you consider the 3 examples we listed above. Of course, there are many more options for you to consider. Be sure to continue your browsing until you find a solution that is perfect for you. Cheers and good luck.
