Childcare

First off is one of the easiest ones, well easy if you enjoy working with children. You may have a day job working with children so you want to offer your services on the side as well. Families are always calling out for babysitters to help them when they want to go out or have appointments they are unable to take the children to. If you register your interest on websites or at the local schools then you will have bookings flooding in.

Another great side hustle that involves working with children is tutoring. During the lockdowns, a lot of children missed out on vital hours of education. Parents are now keen to make those hours back up so are always on the lookout for tutors. You can decide to tutor all ages or simply just primary or secondary-aged children.

Investing

Next, if you are confident in your decision-making skills then you could look into investments as a side hustle. This is a sure-fire way to make a lot of money or lose some money, there are a lot of risks involved with this one. If you take some time to read up on different avenues then you will soon have a greater understanding of it all. You could invest in gold or silver, or even cryptocurrency. If gold is what you are looking for then you can use a website like Hero bullion to buy from. Remember, when you are investing in things like this the prices will constantly be fluctuating. One day you could make a profit if you decide to sell, the next it could lead to a loss.

Freelancing

Something else that may be relatively easy, especially if you find something that you are into is freelancing. This could be anything from photography to writing articles for blog sites. If you have an interest then you may as well make some extra money from it. You can do freelancing from anywhere in the world, so you wouldn’t have to worry if you needed to work while being away on holiday as this is totally possible.

There are websites you can use to sign up as a freelancer, you can also take a look at different jobs and see what people have to offer on these websites. If you are just starting out then you can look here for inspiration on what to charge per hour as this is your choice. Be aware that if your prices are too high then people may not choose you for their projects. On the other hand, if your prices are too low then people may be reluctant to use your services as they are not sure if you are any good. Be sure to collect reviews from the clients you use.
