20 smart side hustles anyone can do to make money
Technology has opened up a lot of job opportunities. Specialized apps and websites make second jobs more accessible and flexible than ever — and some people are making serious bank.
Here are 20 jobs in regular demand, thanks to advances in consumer tech.
1. Transcription
You can transcribe for money if you have the time, typing skills and earphones. The best part about transcribing is you can often do it from home on your schedule. Look for work on sites like Daily Transcription. On job sites, search specifically for medical transcriptionist positions or run more of a generic search like this one.
2. Freelance writing
Are you a skilled writer? You can quickly start making money as a freelance content creator. You can check sites like JournalismJobs.com, Indeed and Freelancer. You can also visit Upwork to view listings for freelance writing jobs and other options.
3. Blogger
Similarly, you could start a blog. Once you have a following of a few hundred or thousand people, you can make money with advertising. You can quickly create a blog on Google’s Blogger, for instance.
