Introduction to Side Hustles
Are you looking for ways to boost your income? As someone who has navigated the job market, I've found five side hustles that significantly improved my financial situation. With countless opportunities available online, it can be overwhelming to decide which ones are legitimate. The gigs I am about to share are tried-and-true options that can genuinely help you earn and access your funds. Your safety is my top concern, which is why I only recommend endeavors I've personally experienced.
Here are five side hustles worth exploring:
Filmora Certified Program
In August 2024, I celebrated two years of collaboration with Filmora. I vividly recall the life-changing moment when I joined their program, wishing I had discovered it back in 2019. This initiative offers financial support to creators who produce 1 to 4 Filmora tutorials monthly on YouTube. Participants also receive complimentary access to both desktop and mobile versions of the software. If you have a passion for video editing, consider applying to the program.
CapCut Creator Program
Having been part of the CapCut Design team for nearly a year, I can confidently say this is an excellent side gig for those seeking additional income. However, it's important to note that this program is currently limited to the Philippines and Indonesia, managed by ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok. As a CapCut Design Creator, your tasks may include creating text graphics, graphic templates, and stickers. The incentive structure varies each month, with payments based on project completion sent via the CapCut wallet. This remote, flexible work allows you to operate from the comfort of your home.
Selling Notion Templates
As I mentioned in previous posts, I began crafting templates in October 2023, learning everything from scratch and selling them on my Gumroad shop. Initially, I utilized Notion to manage my projects with checklists. To my surprise, I received donations for the free templates I offered. By January 2024, I launched my first paid template and made my first $5 sale the following day—this experience highlighted the potential of selling digital products and motivated me to create more. In August 2024, I earned $500 from selling Notion templates and creating custom designs for clients who contacted me via email.
Custom Notion Templates
In August 2024, I opened a listing for custom Notion templates on Gumroad and received five orders shortly after. I was thrilled to collaborate with clients on personalized templates. This month, I designed various templates, including a Project Management system, developer profiles, life planners, holiday gift planners, and a company dashboard. I also created an aesthetically pleasing pre-made template based on client requests. So far, the feedback has been positive, and payments have been processed via PayPal, with most templates completed within 1-2 days, ahead of the expected delivery time.
Medium Partner Program
I recently got monetized on Medium in August after a long wait. The platform has expanded its Partner Program to include the Philippines and 76 other countries in 2024. Writing has always been my passion, dating back to my childhood. While I may not be a perfect writer, I've enjoyed crafting essays in high school and creating fictional stories on Wattpad. Earning from my blog posts feels invaluable for an aspiring writer. I am grateful to Medium for giving writers worldwide the chance to monetize their work. If you're interested in turning your writing passion into profit, consider applying to the Medium Partner Program.
