You're eating ramen and pop-tarts every day. You've already used your graduation money. You're working a minimum wage job, but it's not enough. We've all been there. It's the life of the young and broke, but it doesn't have to be your life. Picking up a side hustle can help you earn extra cash each month. Side hustles are normally easy jobs that allow you to set your own schedule and prices.
Pet sitter
GiphyI have been a pet sitter through Rover.com for years now. Honestly, I don't even do it for the money. I get to walk precious pups and even have some of them stay the night with me while their parents are out of town. It's easy to sign up and so much. Plus, you can set your own prices and schedule.
Baby sitter
If you're not an animal person, try babysitting. Just like pet sitting, there are websites like Care.com that hire babysitters. A good thing about this is its pretty easy and parents are normally willing to pay a lot to have some nights away from their kids.
Tutor
GiphyYou can offer tutoring services for basically any subject. Talk to different departments on campus to see if they are hiring tutors. If not, there are websites that hire virtual tutors. You can always kick it old school by putting up flyers on campus.
Driver
Nowadays, it's so easy to make money as a driver. Just sign up through companies like Lyft or Uber and drive away. Side note: You have to be 21 years old and have a reliable vehicle which meets the company's standards.
Makeup artist or hair stylist
If you're handy with a makeup brush or curling iron, this is perfect for you. I know plenty of girls who have made money off doing makeup and/or hair for other students. Post some of your work on your social media and offer appointments. Set your prices lower than salons to guarantee business.
Brand ambassador
GiphyAt my university, companies like Coca-Cola and Amazon are always looking for campus ambassadors. The job is pretty simple and pays a good bit. All you do is go to events on campus or set up tables around campus and give out information and samples of your companies products.
Freelance writing
Online magazines and newspapers, as well as some physical, often rely on freelance writers for articles. Most of the time, you are given a topic to write about and a word length. Salaries vary from article to article. Contact your local newspaper or research some magazine to find out if you could become their next writer.
Blogger
GiphyIf you want total creative freedom to write about whatever you want, start your own blog. Placing ads on your blog and writing sponsored product reviews will bring in revenue; however, you need to generate a fairly large audience before companies will sponsor you. It is 100% possible, but it takes time.
Product Tester
Product testing is an easy way to get some extra cash and free stuff. There are several companies who offer paid product testing jobs. Most can be done from the comfort of your own home. Once they send you the product, you test it and write a detailed review.
Create your own business
GiphyDo you have a creative skill that could make you a profit? Start your own business! Make a social media for your small business where people can contact you. Post about your products or services, and apply to be a vendor at local places like maker's markets and craft fairs.
