For those who love dogs, getting paid to walk them might sound like the best job ever! Even if you haven’t trained dogs before, walking a dog that is already used to walking on a leash is easy. However, before agreeing to the job, get to know the dog first. Bring her/him on a brief walk close to the owner’s home.

To get started, make sure that your current internet connection is fast. If not, your lessons might appear sluggish, which can have a negative impact on your students’ experience. Also, check to see if your headphones, camera, and microphone are working properly. Test all your equipment before you begin teaching others. If some of your devices are damaged, consider upgrading.
Become a YouTuber
YouTube is a popular streaming platform that allows users to upload videos onto its platform for free. Those who upload videos that get lots of views can start to generate a healthy income. The longer a person stays on YouTube, the more profit the platform makes. This is why they pay people to upload content to the platform.
However, don’t expect to upload a video and start making money straight away. Although it’s possible, it’s highly unlikely. At the moment, there are approximately 37 million videos available on YouTube. Getting your video or your YouTube channel noticed can prove extremely channeling.
Successful YouTubers, like Mr. Beast and KSI, work extremely hard to keep their followers. To promote your channel you might want to consider:
- Developing a website
- Starting a blog and adding new blogs on a regular basis
- Podcast: Either make your own podcast or ask other podcasters if you can talk on their shows.
- Maintain a social media presence, especially on popular social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok
Keep in mind that there are a lot of YouTubers out there. Uploading fresh content regularly can prove extremely challenging, especially if you have a regular job.
Freelance
If you are a website designer, a blogger, a social media manager, etc. in your current job, why not look for some extra freelance work online. Millions of people use websites like UpWork to find freelancers. You can set your rate, show off your previous jobs on your portfolio, and advertise your services for free.
People who you have worked for can leave you a review, to give others an insight into what it was like to work with you. Lots of freelancers make more money from freelancing than the money they make in their regular jobs.
Rent your Home
Since the global recession in 2008, an increasing number of homeowners have been renting out their homes. Popular websites like Airbnb allow people to advertise their homes online. If your current home is located in an area where people like to travel to, you can expect tourists to pay big bucks to stay in your house!
Even if renting out your entire home is not an option, consider renting out your spare room to tourists. You might be able to make a lot more money renting out to tourists now and again, instead of renting out to a person long term. This is also a great way of meeting new and exciting people!
