Whether you're a student or working a 9-5 job, there are many
ways to make some more money on the side. You just need to know them and be
ready to give the required effort and commitment to making them work for you. Here are 6 tips to earn some more
money on the side.
Consulting/Coaching
If you have a specific skill-set with adequate knowledge and
experience, you can leverage on it and build a lucrative side business on
consulting/coaching that's quite easy and affordable to start. It can involve
giving advice to a start-ups on how to build their public image, assisting
start-ups with social media marketing and SEO work etc. The best part of this
business is that you can build it to fit your schedule and free time.
Freelance Work
This is another flexible side business that doesn't need long-term
commitments. You can also adapt this kind of business to fit your schedule and
free time. Becoming a freelancer can involve writing content for businesses,
doing content marketing for start-ups and doing design work for businesses,
which can include graphic designs, web designs, logo designs etc. It really
depends on your talent, skill-set and interests. The best part of this is that
there is a reasonably high demand for freelancers especially in the area of
content marketing, social media marketing and design work.
Leverage On Your Vehicle
If you have a vehicle, you can cash in on it by registering with
Uber or Taxify or both. The best part about this is that you can keep your keys
by becoming a driver on the platform or hire someone to drive the car on the
platform for you. However, when considering this option as a means to making
some extra money, you should be sure that you are satisfied with the rate of
depreciation of your car (because it will definitely be higher). You also have
to consider the cost of financing the car and other maintenance costs.
Produce Crafts
If you're good with your hands, are creative and love to create
crafts and design work, you can use the talent to create jewelry, clothing,
furniture or accessories, and can sell them to make some decent money on the
side. The advent of social media has made marketing your craft work and designs
much easier, as you can take advantage of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and
online shopping platforms like Jumia mall, to put your work out there and get
it sold.
Photography
If you have good photography skills, you can purchase a camera
and start doing photography jobs on the side. Photography is now big business,
if you know how to exploit it, and you can start a very decent side business from
it. However, in the photography business, it is best to carve a niche for
yourself. Don't be a jack-of-all-trades and master of none, you are unlikely to
get positive recognition and referrals that way. You can specialize in
weddings, capturing landscapes, taking fashion pictures etc. You can also sell
some of your pictures to sites like Shutterstock.
Modeling or Voice-Over Work
Modeling is not all about having the perfect body and walking on
the runway, there are different aspects of modeling. You can be a body model,
hand model, leg model or even a face model, and earn some decent money from it.
If you are really good at it, there is a chance that you get more recognition,
and even attain a kind of 'celebrity status' from it, which of course means more
money for you.
For the voice-over work, if you have a voice that's great for
voice-overs and you have some broadcast experience, you can earn some extra
money by doing voice-over work for ad agencies, broadcasting houses etc.
