Side hustle: These three remote jobs could earn you that needed extra income

Let’s face it, not many people can survive on a single income. Some take on extra jobs to make ends meet or to save towards a goal such as buying a house. The side hustle culture appears to be catching on, but it could be draining, depending on the type of jobs you do on the side. Here are three side gigs that are not only rewarding, but will not put undue strain on your time. What’s more? You can do them from home!

Online English teaching

There are hundreds of thousands of people in the UK and abroad looking to learn English or practice speaking what they already know. If you are a native speaker, there’s a world of opportunities in this market for you.

Most companies that offer English lessons only require you to be UK resident with good command of the language and an undergraduate degree in whatever field. You could start off earning £9.50 per hour to teach online, according to MoneyWise. A draw to this is the flexibility and also that you don’t have to create a lesson plan as most companies will do that for you.

Selling digital products

People are finding creative ways of earning money thanks to technology. One of such avenues is selling digital products. According to kajabi.com:

A digital product is any product you sell online that doesn’t have a physical form or substance.

The upside to this business is that you only have to create the product once and sell it to as many buyers as are willing to buy it. There’s no shipping involved and you could make some serious dough, provided you are creative and original in your designs.

Virtual Assistant

You already spend so much time on social media anyway so you might as well be making some money while at it. MoneyWise wrote that many bloggers, influencers, and even local companies need some help with everyday online work. This can include scheduling and posting to social media, responding to emails or doing research for upcoming projects or articles. You could get paid as much as $20 an hour.
