With early financial lessons learnt from COVID-19 (click here to learn more), the need to make some side hustle cash could make a huge difference to your current financial situation and may not be as difficult as you think. Below are some examples of ways you can generate some extra income (while social distancing):

1. Sell your unwanted stuff online

There are many online platforms available that can help sell your items to other people and take on a small commission. Consider having a look around the house for things that you are not using and could sell, which will also help save space in your home.

2. Online tutoring

There are many websites that provide resources for entering into the online tutoring space, and with many schools or classes currently online, you can offer tutoring services in your area of expertise across the country and even across the globe.

3. Freelance writing

If you have any writing experience, you could consider picking up some extra freelance writing work. These jobs can be found through job searches or looking through advertisements for these roles from some publications online. You may also choose to set up your personal website or blog to market yourself.

4. Web or graphic design

If you have some web or graphic design experience consider taking on some freelance work. Even with the pandemic people still need websites to be built and products designed, especially with the push towards online marketing and shopping. Where you don’t have the skills or experience, you could consider learning a new skill through free online courses or videos if you have some spare time.
