What are some side hustles I can do? ?

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! (:​​​

Depending on how much time you have, and where your knowledge lies, there are many side hustles you can do:

1. Sell things on Carousell

If you have things to sell, or even are willing to buy things in bulk to resell, then this could work for you. However, you will ahve to think of ways to get cheaper material to sell, and think of a way to make yourself different from others selling similar products

2. Teaching tuition

One of the most common side-hustles.It is also one of the ones that helps you to earn the most. Depending on the level and subject, you can easily earn more than $200 a month, by teaching only 2 hrs a week. there are also many platforms which help you to facilitate the finding of students. Of course, word-of-mouth is always the best way to be able to gain more customers of you want to earn more.

3. Micro-influencing

It's not known to a lot of people, but there are companies that actually facilitate people who have a following of 500 and more, to advertise their products. You earn about 20-30 cents for every engagement on your post, but it's a low effort for some extra cash. It's quite prevalent in HK, and one of them, called Spread-It, is actually coming to do it in Singapore as well.

4. Freelance projects

Be it design, or marketing plans, or any skills that you have, there could always be people who are interested in them. All you have to do is to find the community that hosts these kind of people who are seeking different types of talents
