These Side Hustles Could Earn You $1000 A Week

As a student, you have a lot more options for casual jobs and side-hustles than you think.

Here are some that can make you heaps of money with very little commitment.

1. Tutoring 

Apply to be a tutor at your uni. It's one of the best paying gigs you can get as a student on average, you get paid $50-$100 per hour depending on the subject and how niche it is. It's one of the most low-maintenance side hustles and you don't even need to leave your campus! My recommendation is if you're in your second or third year of uni you can even apply to be a tutor for a subject you did in the previous semester. Head to your uni's job board or have a chat with your professor as well to see if there is an opportunity open right now.

2. Virtual Assistant Roles

A virtual assistant is exactly what it sounds like, you will assist a business or an entrepreneur with their admin tasks. Some of the most common tasks that are asked of VAs include scheduling appointments, organising and filing documentation, proofreading, taking phone calls and checking emails, data entry and customer support. However, most VA roles have a specific demand rather than all of the above, so it won't be as demanding. There are so many listings up for VA roles. Another benefit is that you can work for businesses in other countries too, so, it can get you a really fat cheque regularly. Some of the websites you can use to land a VA role are:

  1. Fiverr

  2. Upwork

  3. FlexJobs

3. Voiceovers and Audiobook narration 

You don't need to be a super talented singer to be paid to use your voice. You can make really really good money by using it for voiceovers and audiobook narration. The best part is you can accommodate this gig eve in an irregular schedule which is a given when you're in uni! You can set up a profile on websites like voices.com or ACX and record an audio clip, read a page of a book or pretend to narrate a commercial and start booking jobs! You can earn $100 per hour doing voiceovers and narrations.

4. Medical Trials

Medical trials can vary on what kind of contribution you need to make and how long the trials are so you can select what suits you best. You can get anywhere between $500-$8000. Websites like CMAX can help you find the ones that are best suited. Sometimes they pay you literally to answer questions and log your daily routine so keep an eye out for a trial that you could qualify for!

If none of these is for you there are low-effort ways you can make money through youtube as well. Also, you can get paid $1000 or more just to study!
