I am on extended probation and I am worried that I will be terminated soon, especially since I'm unable to hit targets & it's worse now due to Covid-19. Need suggestions on side hustles?

Any suggestions on side hustles? I can't cycle (have attempted many times but failed) or drive so I can't do food delivery unless walking is viable. I cannot tutor, I have no digital skills or basically any hobbies that can be monetized. I used to work F&B part-time over weekends, but I've lost that source of income now that Circuit Breaker measures are in place. I am on the lookout for new full-time jobs as well but I understand it's not a good time as many companies have froze hiring.

Hi Anon,

I use Fiveer and Upwork to take on freelance work. They offer a lot of flexibility as a side hustle and you can choose whether to take on short-term, medium-term or long-term freelance work.

Fiverr offers a whole range of freelance work from graphics and design, digital marketing, video and animation to even programming. You can be someone's virtual assistant (handling spreadsheet, making appointments etc) or even do online tutoring. Whatever your interests or expertise are, there is a high chance that you can find it on Fiverr. Hence, I would highly recommend that you check it out! Upwork is similar but with a greater focus on writing/translation/editing types of freelance work.

Aside from that, I personally use an app called 'Milieu Surveys' where you can do short surveys and accumulate points. Points can be redeemed for: cash (PayNow transfer) or vouchers for supermarkets (Giant, Cold Storage, 7 eleven), Grab Food, Grab Ride and even charities donations! The only catch is you can only do one survey every day instead of multiple surveys at one go.

Edit: I have been told to remove my referral code as this question does not have a 'promo codes' tag. For those interested, please view my referral code here.

Hope this helps! (:
