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! (:

1. Home Baking

This might be a little more "out-there" depending on your level of culinary experience, but home baking can be a great way to earn extra cash. Some of the best home bakers can make several hundreds to a couple thousand dollars for each bake sale they hold. See this guide on how to start your own home baking business in Singapore.

2. Freelance Writing

Easy and low-stress way to earn extra income. You can work anywhere, anytime. If you write well, you can make good side income. Good content marketing agencies (basically content writing companies) will charge $400-600 for a 2,000 word article. See this comprehensive guide on making money with freelance writing for beginners.

3. Amazon Niche Site

Another writing job but this time you're writing for yourself, not other companies/individuals. You write reviews on products sold on Amazon, and you earn a commission everytime someone buys a product after clicking your link. Niche sites usually take about 4-6 months before you begin generating income; it's not uncommon to make $500-$3,000/month with niche sites. See this guide on how to start an Amazon niche site.

These 3 side-hustles are 100% flexible, so you can easily fit the above activities in between your work requirements and personal schedule.​​​

You may consider doing survey . I had tried online survey from this, and it has high payout in USD$ worldwide. It can be PayPal for free online shopping, or grocery voucher for local supermarket. Furthermore, you can grow your network easily for lifetime.
