by Fahad Saleem

Pulling extra cash is easy. You just have to be smart and should know where to look and what areas to target. If you have computer skills, like software development, programming, graphic designing and article writing, I’d recommend not reading this post. Instead, head over to freelancer websites like Freelancer.com and Upwork, as these websites are teeming with good jobs for your skills. If you don’t have computer skills, following are some of the best side hustles to make extra income.

 Best Side Hustles to Make Extra Income for Students

Dogwalking

Dogwalking and Petsitting is one of the best side hustles to make extra money every month. You will be surprised to know that there are several opportunities in this domain, as people don’t have time to walk their dogs or take care of their pets. You can easily bag about $200 every month in this job.

Narrating Audiobooks

Narrating audiobooks is an excellent way to make extra dollars as a side income. Just go to acx.com, which is Amazon’s audio books platform for self-publishers. Rates in audio book narration are excellent. Publishers also pay on a royalty-based fee.

Tutoring

Local schools are almost always looking for teachers. Don’t hold back, thinking that schools have hi-fi requirements for teachers. If you are good at math, science, arts, painting or anything you think you could teach to kids, go to the local schools and offer them your services, or check out the teaching platforms like Plainmath. You can easily charge over $30 per hour in tutoring. If you don’t want to go to the schools or shy of approaching people, check out Chegg tutors. You can teach kids online and make money. People on Chegg Tutors transfer you money via PayPal.

Fixing/Washing Cars

People make extra dollars by detailing cars of other people. You’d be surprised to know that people are ready to pay a lot of money in exchange for car polish, small paints, car wash and related services. All you need is a decent Orbital Buffer and a space. You can easily get about $100 for cash washes and removing scratches.

Food Delivery

Pizza and fast food shops are popping up in every corner. These pizza shops hire temporary delivery men. You can earn a decent income delivering pizzas. You can pull about $300 working approximately 25 hours a week.

Bartending

If you have bars and clubs around, bartending should be the side hustle to consider. A bartender could easily make $150-$200 by bartending 2-3 days a week. Not to mention the perks of this job include meeting new people and getting new opportunities.
