Any suggestions for side hustle/passive income for a university student?

I'm finishing my 4th year of medical school. Currently able to support my expenses doing grab, paid transcriptions, paid research and focus group. I also do my own investing and trading. Wanted to do tuition but can't find a tutee after >6 months even with a few agencies.

I'm not sure I can still continue to sustain myself as well in my busy final year soon. No intention to use my profits from equities for expenses, prefer to let it compound. Any side hustles to suggest? Thank you.

Hi Jovan,

I personally use Fiveer and Upwork to take on freelance work while I was in university and even now after my graduation. It is highly flexible and you can choose to take on short-term, medium-term and long-term 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! (:​​​
