2022 has left many of us working from home or looking for new opportunities to work remotely. If you’re looking for extra cash to earn while maintaining a safe distance, here are some great summer opportunities for you.
Become a Blogger
Did you pick up a hobby or new interest during the pandemic? Channeling your interests into a successful blog could be a great way to earn extra money. Write regular posts unique to you and share them online to grow your audience. If you stick with it and keep your website updated, you can increase your following and start making money from ads, sponsored posts, or other opportunities for sponsorships.
Online Tutoring
If you’re a college or high school student, consider online tutoring as a summer hustle. You can teach a subject that’s familiar to you, maybe one you just finished in school. If you’re not in school, there are plenty of opportunities to teach other specific courses such as English language courses. There are even opportunities to teach English abroad if you want to travel over the summer and make money.
Start an Online Store
If you’ve got an idea for a product, or you have a craft you think you can sell, setting up an online store could be a great source of extra income. Many platforms make it easy to set up an online store, and maintaining your store is easy with Magento hosting. Groups like Nexcess offer “optimized eCommerce hosting for speed, security, and scale.” This means you don’t have to worry about securing your site or keeping it updated; all the technical aspects will be managed for you so you can focus on selling your product and making money.
Delivery Driver
The pandemic made food and grocery delivery services more popular than ever. Depending on your schedule, delivery driving may be an excellent option for a summer hustle. If you choose to work for a delivery app, you’ll be able to work whenever is convenient for you, including in the middle of the night. Delivery driving can get you great tips and the opportunity to work your own hours. Most door delivery apps use a contactless delivery method, so you won’t have to worry about getting too close to anyone either.
Freelancing
The demand for freelance creatives such as writers, editors, and designers is consistently high. As a freelancer, you can set your schedule and take on multiple projects simultaneously if you can manage them. If you’re an aspiring designer or writer, you can use a summer of freelancing to build your portfolio of work and network with companies. Channeling your creative side into a freelancing routine can make you a lot of money in one summer and could lead to a career.
Transcribing
If writing content isn’t your thing, try transcribing instead. There are many opportunities for you to earn cash by transcribing audio from various sources. All you need is a good set of headphones and concentration; time will fly by, and you can make a fair amount of cash in one summer. Transcribing is an excellent option if you’re traveling over the summer and want a job you can do from anywhere.
Any of these side hustles are excellent part-time opportunities for you to make some extra cash. If you find success, you can even turn any of them into full-time jobs. Get ready for a safe and profitable summer in 2022.
