Freelance

If you’re a talented writer, designer, web developer, animator, photographer, and whatever else you can think of, then you might be in good shape to consider freelance opportunities. If you don’t have any of these talents but want to learn, then you might try browsing free courses to get you started! If you already have a side talent, then try UpWork to find freelance jobs.

Start a business

A side hustle presents the perfect opportunity to start the business you always wanted. While it’s probably the hardest route to go, it’s definitely the most long-term and has the opportunity to make you the most money. If you don’t have any experience setting up a business, try our free Startup School to get you going.

Brand yourself

Being a blogger or digital influencer is a huge way to make some extra cash, especially if you have an audience. Starting a digital brand can include creating a blog, a social media presence, a photography portfolio, a YouTube personality and much more. Branding yourself into a business costs very little money and is easy to maintain.

Get a gig economy job

The gig economy is based on short-term contract work and freelance work. Basically, it’s a job without the ‘employee’ title. It’s great because it’s flexible and you can receive a pretty steady income. Prime examples of gig economy jobs are ride-sharing companies like Uber and food delivery companies like Postmates. Other options to consider are renting property, coaching, caregiving and more.

Pssst, did you know that if you’re an Uber-driver partner you have the opportunity to take our entrepreneurship or ESL courses at no cost? Learn more and see if you’re eligible.
