#the service that takes the MOST is musicmagpie

[gikairan]

I want to get rid of some of my physical books, but every service I can see that pays money for them won't take 2-5 of the books I want to sell ಥ⁠╭⁠╮⁠ಥ

And because I don't read physicals any more, I'm not going to get a second pile to ditch sometime in the future... IF they ever take these titles again.....

Best 12 side jobs for freelancers to earn some extra money

Whether you are freelancer working online or not, we all feel as if we can get a little extra money. Whether you want to pay for a trip abroad, upgrade your flat-screen TV or pay off students' debts, the opportunity to get more income and money for most is very possible. Therefore, if you want to enjoy the benefits of a flexible schedule, translation as freelance work through the Internet on a part-time or project-specific basis may be just a reminder and an example. Here are some ideas that will help you find different opportunities to work through the internet as freelancer...

Work as a driver

Leadership is one of the most popular ways to generate additional revenue, mainly due to its ease and accessibility. All you need is a driver's license and a vehicle, and express transport companies such as Uber and Lyft do the rest. Due to the lack of restrictions on your working hours, they are the perfect tool to earn some money in your home for mobility; instead, you can wait until the end of the week and take advantage of high prices - it is up to you perfectly. In both cases, there is a great deal of potential profit. Potential earnings: According to The Zebra, the average salary for drivers Uber and Lyft in 2014 was $ 39,000 (£ 28140) and $ 27,000 (£ 19,480), respectively.  

Working as a photographer

If you have a passion - and prepare - for photography, why not earn a little money from it? As a freelance business owner, you can set your own prices and create a network of contacts to start attracting business. Be open to every opportunity and focus on developing a professional portfolio - weddings are a great source of income. Instead, if you are not a social type, and prefer to practice your hobby in isolation, do not panic - there is still money to be made. You can sell your photos to collectors, media agencies or stock photography agencies such as Shutterstock and Getty. Potential earnings: Full-time freelance photographers can earn up to $ 44,000 (£ 31,750) per year.

Work as an translator

In an increasingly globalized world, the ability to speak a second language is much sought after; so many companies use external agencies to translate all kinds of documents, texts and materials. If you can speak more than one language, you can subscribe to one of these agencies, especially if you speak in an online language such as Arabic, Chinese, Russian, or French. Most businesses allow you to work from home, ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands of words. During the construction of experience and trust, you may consider joining a professional body and follow-up certificates for the translation of official documents. Potential earnings: A part-time interpreter who earns $ 0.18 (£ 0.12) per word can earn just over $ 60,000 (£ 43,290) a year. This, of course, depends on how many times they take the contracts.  

Work as a blogger

Blogging is a very common but misunderstood way to make money online. Of course, success will not be achieved overnight, but if you know how to produce compelling new content that can attract audience attention, you are definitely on the right track. The key knows how to monetize your blog once you develop a reader. One common way is to use affiliate ads tailored to the tastes of your readers. For example, if your blog is about horse racing and you know your audience is betting, join one of the affiliate casino companies and place their own banner ads above your posts. There are many ways to use affiliate marketing techniques to keep your revenue close, so be creative. Potential earnings: vary according to your blog size, size, and overall reputation, as well as the methods you use to monetize.  

Work as an accountant

If you have accounting or bookkeeping qualifications, you can provide your services outside of your daily job. Many small businesses with little or no bookkeeping experience require help from professionals, as Internet tools such as QuickBooks act as intermediaries. You can do as much work as you want or do, so if your budgets and cash flows are your idea, fill out your shoes. Potential earnings: If you're just starting out, you can charge $ 15 (£ 11) per hour. Through experience and growing customer base, you can start charging up to $ 30 (£ 22) or more.

Work as a teacher or trainer

If you are remarkably strong in a particular academic subject, consider teaching - regardless of age or experience. The only requirement is to be able to connect the material to the student; exercise requires patience, creativity, and of course extensive knowledge of the subject. If you have knowledge of languages ​​or subjects such as STEM like mathematics and chemistry, in the meantime, you may find your services more demanding. You can advertise online through educational sites such as Udemy or in schools, colleges and universities. In some cases, there may also be fixed permanent jobs, so do not be afraid to move forward. Potential earnings: Depending on the number of students you have, the hours you work in and the subject you are studying, you can earn between $ 30,000 (£ 21,640) and $ 60,000 (£ 43,290) partial.

Working as Dog walker

If you are a dog lover, this may be your perfect side-trip. Many people are willing to pay for the care of their dogs, and companies such as Wag and Rover are receiving requests from pet owners who are unable to provide the necessary exercise to their dog owners and then move them to walkers more than happy to be forced. Once you build trust and are associated with both the animal and the owner, you may be assigned on a regular basis, so if you are good with the dogs and understand their needs, this job may be ideal for you. Potential earnings: vary, although the average infantry salary of dogs is $ 30,837 (£ 22,240) - this, of course, depends on a variety of factors, including the number of clients you have.  

Work as a graphic designer

If you have a creative approach and practical knowledge of design tools, you can bid for projects on any number of freelance platforms online as a graphic designer or web developer. This usually includes small parts of design work such as company logos or web page templates - ideal for compatibility with your current business schedule. Initially, focus on developing a striking degree for your potential customers. Then, clean the web for poorly designed sites and designs; then you can reach the owners of these companies and offer a more attractive design at low cost, allowing you to build a great portfolio. Potential Profits: Based on experience and reputation, you can charge between $ 40 and $ 100 (£ 29 - £ 72) per hour, sometimes more.  

Sell your stuff

Although this is not technically important, it is still an easy and effective way to make money quickly. There are many selling and buying groups on social media, as well as traditional peer-to-peer markets like eBay, Shpock and MusicMagpie. It's also an easy way to change your domain of unwanted items. Do not forget the offline market, too. People are still attracted to yard sales, boot sales and bazaars hoping to discover a hidden gem; these gonorrhea debts may not mean nothing to you, but a man's trash can often be another man's treasure ... Potential earnings: vary depending on what you sell.  

Working as Babysitter

If you enjoy working with children, babysitting can be a wonderful aspect. Although the rates vary according to the family, most wages are paid generously, and if you can create a regular group of clients, it may become a profitable endeavor. As an individual, you're likely to work with people who already know you and trust you (and can give you a reference later), but to expand and attract more customers, you can join an agency. It would be better if you have previous experience working in a nursery or school, but as long as you pass the criminal record tests and can prove the rapport of children and patience with them, you should be able to get started. Potential Earnings: The average hourly price of an incubator over 21 years is $ 12.19 (£ 8.80).  

Rent your own space

If you have a spare room in your home or you will leave for a while, why not turn it into an income source? You can advertise a fellow housing or residence and contribute financially, although if you rent the property, it is wise to verify the landlord's policy regarding the rent first. Alternatively, if you live in a desirable area, you can advertise your space to tourists, travelers and visitors looking for a short-term place to stay. Websites such as Airbnb, HomeAway and FlipKey will list your property for a small commission, so be sure to keep things clean and arranged in the guest room. Potential profits: vary according to a variety of factors, including location and type of property.

Sell your hobby

One of the easiest side jobs is to take advantage of a hobby list such as drawing, baking or jewelry making - especially if you have received positive feedback from friends and colleagues. You can sell your products online through hosting markets such as Etsy, as well as outside the internet in the yard sales above; if you really want to make an impact, you can think of creating your own small business - complete your website and ad campaign. You cannot make any sales right away, but the challenge of creating and setting up a business is for a lot of people who are attracted to the idea of ​​becoming their ultimate boss. If you have the dedication and passion to make it work, why not try it? Potential earnings: varies depending on a particular hobby. Of course, there are countless ways to earn extra money (we recommend following legal avenues); any of these is a great place to start and many of them do not require skills or experience.
