Freelance Websites

Freelance – the new era of employment. It allows you to be your own boss and practice hard and soft skills on real projects, with real clients. Pay attention to websites like Upwork, Toptal, and Fiverr.

HTML coders, designers, copywriters, and programmers are popular jobs, but there are many others to explore so it’s just a matter of finding something that matches your interests. What’s great about this is that the entry threshold on freelance websites is low enough that you can learn the skills you need within a few months and start applying.

You can also take projects based on your availability so you can work around your schedule. The more projects you take on, the more reviews you’ll have, and more reviews will likely get you more customers.

Sell Stock Photos

If you want to try your hand at serious options, the two largest stock photo sites are Unsplash and Pexels. Before you can publish your work, your photos will have to go through an approval process.

If you’re just starting with photography, a good place to start selling your photos is on the Depositphotos app. Once you start earning, you can withdraw money through PayPal.

Sell Things You Don't Need

Online sites like Facebook Marketplace and eBay let people buy & sell almost anything, so give your used and unused things a chance to find their way to people that need them.

Pet Sitting

Taking care of other people’s pets can be a good way to make extra money. This is something you can do while you’re studying at home since pet owners look for sitters who can be physically present to play, feed, and walk their fur babies. Bonus points if you can send pictures of their pets while they’re with you.
