Hey there! Personally, I always strive to look for a skill that can be transferrable to any further job that may be related. In my case, I tend to handle 1 to 3 part time internships. It may pay up to a good $3000 on some months. However, this may affect your studies one way or another. If you are keen to take on more internships, try doing internships of different responsibilities!

Hi!

You can consider:

  • Part time internships
  • Tutoring via apps like Smile Tutor
  • Starting your own small business such as being a social media manager or selling some service
  • Part-time jobs like being a financial advisor (They generally like to hire University students)
  • Food delivery

Hi Benjamin,

Here are some of the side hustles I do in university.

  1. Take up teaching assistant jobs
  2. Find a part-time job in university offices
  3. Do a part-time internship

Hope this helps :)

Hi Benjamin,

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! (:​​​
