Being a new immigrant is hard, let alone being a student in a foreign country. Most of the time, you might find yourself in a tough position, financially and emotionally. If you are reading this, this was supposed to find you. I was an international student in Canada, and I have been through all the trouble it entails. I wanted to share my experience regarding side hustle ideas so that anyone who found this can help themselves earn a little extra cash while they are still students.
These might not be the top side hustles, but they will be a great help. You are reading this article means you want to help yourself. And everyone (even God) wants to help those who want to help themselves.
1. Side hustle stack 1: Survey Junkie
It is a survey platform where they pay you money for completing surveys. They give you varying points for completing surveys and each point counts towards the dollar amount you earn. For example, if you earned 100 points then it sums to USD 1. Once you verify your identification, you can easily cash out the money into your PayPal. The minimum cash-out amount is USD 5. I suggest this platform among all the other ones because it is easy to register and use. The only drawback is you won’t qualify for all surveys. Remember this all these side hustle ideas are to earn some extra cash on the side. They will never be enough to replace your job.
2. Stack 2: Selling your notes
You can sell the notes you prepared for your classes to earn some extra cash. The most recommended one to sell notes is StuDocu as the platform is currently accepting educational materials for a wide range of post-secondary institutions. Be careful not to push yourself into the trouble of academic dishonesty.
3. Stack 3: Online tutoring
If teaching is what you love, you can start online tutoring. It’s simple, works from home, and is very helpful. Superprof is the platform that I recommend if you want to start tutoring online. They have a simple registration procedure, you can select the subjects that you are good at, and you just have to wait for some students to select you.
4. Stack 4: Freelancing
There are numerous freelancing platforms where you can help people to earn money. Upwork, and Fiverr are among the most popular ones. The requirements of these platforms vary but the basic thing is that you just have to set up a profile showcasing your competencies.
5. Stack 5: Start your blog/vlog
If you are good with words, start a blog and if you are good with shooting videos, start a vlog. I know it’s a slow start, but it could be a permanent source of your passive income.
This might not sound easy and appealing, but remember, nothing in the world is easy. This is just for the ones who value hard work and are not looking for any shortcuts to earning huge sums in a limited time. YOU GOT THIS. Follow for more tips on finance.
