getting a side hustle
Providing services can be a lifeblood initiative for your business. It also can make a difference to your cash flow. Results are not often satisfactory though. A lady here today had unsatisfactory experiences with outsourcing writing jobs.
I've posted about offers before on the part of buyer and seller. The first thing you must consider is getting fair value. Virtually everyone has an angle.
I spent some time with the feature image for this post. I had a first version where you couldn't see the names of the apps or sub headers at all. This version is slightly improved for those unable to use a magnifier. The angle here is for first time viewers to throw up their hands and buy the full version of the offered graphic. The initial tease needs magnification.
You don't need to go out and buy a magnifying glass to read your screen though. Fortunately I have the Cortana feature of WIN 10 which led me right to the magnifier app. You should have the same or similar function available on your system.
The difference these days is in using apps as opposed to answering ads for outsourcing and work at home gigs. Now opportunities are embedded in the search function by gig category and there are many.
Pizza! It's the foremost commodity today for pickup and take out. Air is common enough, water is common enough. But food... There is enough color and taste variety for it to lead the delivery app list whether by restaurant or grocers.
Next is delivering yourself to your goods and services through ride sharing, car rental and the like. Transportation apps are big business and drivers from Uber to Lyft are in constant demand.
In close competition to delivery, the recycling of commodities such as home items are constantly required. Working for Craigs list can help them in sale and in the selling process for profit. Rentals can assist when such goods need to part temporarily from the owner. This is done extensively in summer when condominium sharing arrangements are engineered.
Despite the setbacks that others have suffered, outsourcing writing is a lure. Proofreading is also a draw. You can have a lot of trouble getting it all right. I use Grammarly and also back it up with looking at clauses and paragraphs in a work of content copy. I love to write and compose and this is an area that I have used to commercial advantage.
Photography is a form of writing. All those places like Alamy and Shutterstock can identify opportunities for sale as well as copyright branding. Likewise, video creation and recording can make a difference in putting your ideas out there. The demand is huge and growing
Training is something we all excel in. The level of sophistication I see in Wealthy Affiliate post copy can be pitched to Udemy for course creation gigs!
Look at the list. Tear it apart. You're bound to find gig opportunities out there that can fill your coffers as well as further your expertise in the community as well!

Excellent list Mike. Thank you for taking the time to share.
I currently use some of these. Lot of these I'm not familiar with. Great list for finding side hustle and/or affiliates.
Mike,
Thanks for the wonderful tips! There are so many new avenues to make ends meet.

You must have written this especially for me, lol! Thanks for the specifications and note to use a magnifier. Thank you for the various areas of business that I had not considered. If you are a father, happy Father's Day!
Peace💗
Mike I enjoy your thoughts and ideas. Recently my offline opportunities have increased a little, but each day still work on WA. Many I am sure do the same, but while building their business if they don't, these are great ideas.
I pay bills and speak to vendors on a consulting fee basis for language challenged business owners. I became friends with an immigration atty and his wife, and this developed into meeting these individuals.
I have seen many here who with added knowledge build websites, Facebook pages and help in marketing ideas for local businesses as well.
Training is another area in person I am considering since i have experience in public speaking and training along with teaching office skills.
Who said retirement was not busy? LOL!
take care,
Bill

Michael, you are a national treasure. There are many countries in the world that need a chap like you as leader, or at the very least, Chancellor of the Exchequer. Just think how Employment would improve under you, plus the other ministries. And don't for a moment think I am having you on. I really mean it. Yours aye.
I won't mind writing a few cheques!
