I recently read an article that stated that more people are going from adding on side gigs (in addition to their full time 9 to 5 jobs) to now relying completely on freelance jobs. There are SO many articles already out there about the top money making freelancing jobs, so I’ve decided to include the smaller ones. The ones for newbies who want to start out small and test the waters to see if they are ready to leave their full time jobs or perhaps want to save up more for a vacation, pay off some extra bills, or fill in some extra time.
Each platform featured has been independently selected and reviewed by myself. If you click the links included, I may earn a commission.
There are SO many freelance jobs you can start right NOW to begin making money- all you need to get started is your mobile device.
I personally really enjoy freelancing for a number of reasons:
be my own boss= Stress free work environment
make my own hours
set my own hourly rate
meet some amazingly cool clients and companies
Here are some platforms that I’ve enjoyed doing in between my acting and modeling jobs.
Instacart: If you have a car, drivers license, and a cell phone than you can shop and deliver people’s groceries. This is a good job for people who don't especially like siting at a desk all day. You’ll definitely get your steps in for the day doing this job. The app will send you a shopping list, you scan each item on the list using the app, check out using the company credit card they give you, and then deliver the groceries to the clients door. You'll also discover new foods and get some great meal inspiration while your at it! Click this link to get started.
Rover: Are you an animal lover? Walk dogs or cat sit with this app. Simply download the app and fill out the profile to get started immediately. The company does complete a background check for this application. Make sure to fill out your profile, so that prospective clients can get a sense of who you are. I also recommend putting up a couple pictures of yourself interacting with animals.
This has recently become one of my favorite side hustles because I love meeting new little critters in my neighborhood. Plus it's a great way to get in extra exercise!
TaskRabbit: I’ve been doing TaskRabbit jobs since 2014 and it’s by far one of my favorites. You can set your hourly rate and daily schedule. It’s nationwide, so you can even complete some tasks regardless of your area code and even for some extra cash while your on vacation! lol.
Help someone with their daily chores and make money while doing so. Select the task(s) that best suit your skills. These span from: virtual assistant, moving help, house cleaning, delivery driving, website building, elderly and pet care, and the list goes on.
Download the app, complete your profile, and set your own prices to get started. Also let me know if/when you join, so that I can give you more insider tips!
Postmates: want to get to know your neighborhood while making some extra cash? Download the App to do these fool proof food deliveries from local restaurants to your neighbors. You can even do deliveries on foot or bike if you don’t have a car.
Uber and/or Ubereats: Whether you elect to drive people for to their destinations or just do food deliveries, this app can easily make you $100 a day. You will need a valid driver's license and proof of insurance for this job. Here’s the link to register.
Cashapp: You can make residual income each day by referring your friends to the Cash app. Click this link to follow the step-by-step directions and download the cashapp.
Let me know which company best suits you. Cheers to you making more money in 2020!
Xoxo,
