In today's tutorial, I'll show you how to accomplish four side jobs from the convenience of your home, none of which could possibly take the place of your regular employment. The first side job will be somewhat little in comparison to the others on the list, but it deserves to be included because it is simple to complete and a quick method to earn money. The list's first side business is
Rev.com ( side job) ( side job)
Rev is an online marketplace for remote employment that offers services for translation, captioning, and transcribing. This website allows users to contribute audio and video clips, which are then transcribed, captioned, and translated by independent contractors. Basically, you'll need to visit rev.com/freelancers to register on this website as a freelancer.
Once there, complete the form as I've shown in the image below, indicate the position in which you're interested, and then click the next button. Next you'll arrive at this page, which will demonstrate the typical amount of money you can make using Rev. It goes without saying that the more Rev you use, the more money you'll make.
The catch with rev is that you can't initially plan on earning several hundred dollars per day. Even if you are an excellent translator or transcriber, rev is set up to gradually open up job opportunities as you use the site more frequently. Because of this, you must persevere with this side work for a while if you want it to be worthwhile.
Yet, depending on how long you've been using the platform and how much expertise you have, freelancers on Rev can make an average of $200 to $500 or more per day. Overall, it's not the finest side gig on our list, but since it has a very low entrance barrier and anyone can start doing it and start making money right away, I'm going to give it a 3/10 on the money scale.
Auto Rental (side job)
The COVID19 epidemic has permanently altered the way we work, and for many people, this now involves working from home. And because of that, I assume that a lot of you don't even use your automobiles as frequently anymore. You can rent out your automobile on websites like "get about," which will enable you to transform it into a full-time passive income source.
If you're using a laptop or desktop computer, simply hover your mouse over this small icon as I've shown in the image below and click on "share your car" to begin using Getaround. You can also download the Getaround app for your phone.
Find the tiny hamburger icon on your phone, then quickly hit "share your car" if you're using a smartphone. From here, you will simply proceed with the application process, during which Getaround will inquire about your vehicle in a variety of ways that will essentially be the same for other platforms. It's important to note that Getaround won't hire out any vehicles with a model year before to 2007.
Sadly, your 1998 Honda accord, which has been parked in your garage for the previous five years, will not be accepted. You should note that your car cannot be older than 25 years, and special consideration is given to vehicles older than 12 years but under 25 years old. However, your 2007 Honda accord that has been sitting in your garage for the past five years may qualify.
For instance, if you own a roughly 15-year-old 2007 Honda Accord, you can advertise it on Turo, but you'll need to answer more questions and provide further proof that the vehicle is in good mechanical and physical condition. The type of car you have will determine how much money you can make renting out your vehicle.
According to the Turo calculator, depending on your automobile, you can earn anywhere from a few thousand dollars to more than $15,000 annually if your car is worth between $10k and $30k. The amount you are willing to charge for the car's rental will also affect how much money you make. I give it a 4/10 on the money scale since I believe it's an excellent side job you can undertake to generate a solid passive income.
Real Estate Photography
I'm not kidding when I say that your next side business could earn you a sizable sum of money. We are talking a few hundred dollars in a day's worth of time. Real estate photography is the side business, as you've previously seen, but before you dismiss it or tell yourself you can't do it, give me a chance.
Exactly as it sounds, real estate photography involves shooting images of properties for real estate brokers, home flippers, and even landlords. Making real estate appear as appealing as possible is the goal of real estate photography. As a result, everything from your camera angles, the lens you select, and the lighting will have an impact on how prospective home buyers see the property.
The objective is to present a home's inside and exterior in the best light possible; however, anyone can learn how to do this by simply watching YouTube videos, even if it will take a lot of practice. The best part is that you can even start doing this with just your phone these days because smartphones now have such excellent cameras. You might even be able to find a cheap phone stabilizer to make your shots appear more fluid and professional.
I am aware that the key question here will be how exactly do you even begin with this. There are numerous YouTube tutorials that cover everything you need to know about real estate photography, so the first step is to gain experience if you don't already have any. You may learn a ton by simply viewing these types of videos for a while; after that, all you have to do is practice.
You either practice your craft for a week or two at home, at a friend's or family member's house, or both. Then you might go go and take pictures of six different houses to add to your portfolio. due to the fact that you will begin sending your portfolio to various real estate agents. Also, it is simple to locate real estate brokers by browsing through various Facebook groups, making a cold call, or sending an email to their company.
Most of these brokers are in dire need of trustworthy photographers who can take pictures of each and every one of their residences. Your business will continue to grow significantly once you establish a positive rapport with your first one or two clients and they begin referring you to other real estate agents.
The amount of money you can make doing this will depend on whether you are photographing commercial or residential real estate. With residential real estate photography, you can expect to make between $150 and $300 per hour on average, which translates to between $300 and $800 for a session lasting a couple of hours.
Commercial real estate photography will pay you significantly more money, but it will also demand a little bit more talent. Commercial real estate photographers can expect to make between $400 and $500 per hour on average. This indicates that a single session, lasting a few hours on a single property, can bring in anywhere between $800 and $2000.
There is no question about how much money you would make if you handled several homes in a single day. I'm giving real estate photography a 7 out of 10 because it's a legitimate side business that can make you a ton of money
