Pick up freelance work online

Cursus iaculis etiam in

Make money online through websites such as Upwork, Fiverr and Freelancer.com. These sites offer opportunities to do a variety of freelance jobs, like writing, programming, design, marketing, data entry and being a virtual assistant.

A report from Freelancer.com found that computer security jobs had the fastest growth in listings on its site in the second quarter of 2024, up 27.1%.

Jobs involving writing skills are also in high demand. Although generative artificial intelligence (AI) is being used more for content creation, it can’t fully do the work of human writers.

Companies are looking for writers who know how to edit AI content and who have at least a basic understanding of search engine optimization — learning or beefing up SEO skills could be a lucrative side hustle.

No matter what freelancing you do, keep track of the going rate for the kind of work you provide so you know what to charge. Some freelancers are charging $100 an hour or more for their freelance writing services.

Expert take: Soraya Ivette is a content marketing strategist who offers services on Fiverr. She started freelancing part time when she was home with her young children, and has done well.

“Once I set up my profile on Fiverr, I started getting job requests within a couple of weeks and I started taking on more jobs and making regular money consistently every month,” she said in an email interview.
