Are you getting a chance to pursue your creative interests, which make you unique but which you cannot find in your 9-5 job? 

Do you want to generate a passive stream of income? 

Don't worry! One of the most incredible aspects of contemporary interconnected online markets is that they allow you to shop from various stores. Freelancing is more accessible than ever before. Every industry seems to reach out to talented individuals across age groups to find quality solutions to their professional needs in writing, video editing, or even legal drafting. 

Freelancing is an incredible way to garner some good passive income. Moreover, it is also one of the best ways to pursue a hobby outside your mundane professional commitments.

10 ways to establish a side hustle as a freelancer. 


1. Online Tutoring

It is one of the most popular freelancing endeavours that individuals have taken recently. Primarily popular among the university student demographic, online tutoring is a fantastic way to establish a side hustle as a freelancer. Websites like Chegg, Tutor.com, and Fiver (in the Online Tutoring category) enable individuals to offer their services as tutors in areas where they have expertise. The target market for this space is the group of students belonging to the senior secondary school demographic (Grades 11 and 12) who are planning to pursue university education in specific streams and university freshers, attempting to get familiar with their coursework. As stated, these are great options for people to generate passive income and can require very modest effort when one works in their area of expertise. 

2. Video Editing

Video editing is one of the most popular Fiverr services at the moment. The sheer amount of content generated on YouTube should give you a good idea about how video editing finds its application among content creators and influencers on various platforms. It is not surprising that Massive monetization has been generated on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram with different types, tones, and lengths of videos. So, video editing is a prime area of freelance interest. Platforms such as Fiverr, Upwork, and other freelancing sites allow users to post gigs and solicit work. 

What's the required proficiency in video editing

Software such as Adobe After Effects or Apple’s Final Cut Pro.

3. Photoshop

Like video editing, photo editing skills in Adobe Photoshop can help you bring in lucrative returns on websites like Fiverr and Upwork. Gigs focus on touching up photographs or delivering various edits that people might be. Generally, photoshop edits often include merging different pictures, fixing the colour grading on pictures and assignments of the like. 


4. Content Writing

Freelancing can also take you down the route of writing side hustles, like creating pieces of written content for clients. With the large number of websites that try to increase their footprint on search engines like Google, search-engine-optimized (SEO) content writing is an essential requirement across industries.

You can garner various opportunities on websites like Fiverr and Upwork if you can author short-to-medium-length pieces on topics like technology, politics, business, etc.


5. Creating a Blog

Blogging is back in the limelight, and with a vengeance! With the rise of affiliate marketing and other revenue generation methods like Google’s AdSense, a blog on niche topics like fashion, sports, professional advice, and upskilling can make one a considerable sum of money. 

To set your blog up, you need to obtain a domain (a paid one, if you can spare some money) from WordPress and then create SEO-optimized pieces in your niche.


6. Digital Art

Digital art skills on applications like Procreate (on the iPad), Adobe’s Illustrator, or Fresco are hugely popular sources of passive income for people who are good at them. Given the rise of websites and blogs, vector art, or even freeform digital art, is popularly used to make written pieces more attractive.

Similarly, you can make money with commissioned customized work. The services can be offered on Fiverr and Upwork, while you can generate leads through advertisements on Facebook , Instagram, and YouTube.


7. Logo Design

Logo designing can be expensive for young companies, especially if they seek to get it done by professional designers! However, this creates a gap in the market, which is a popular space for people who are skilled in logo design but wish to pursue it as a freelancer to exploit. Freelance designers with Adobe Illustrator experience can offer their services on Fiverr and earn a lot of money. You can use social media channels to connect with prospective customers. 

8. Photography

Previously, photographers could not access their leads on websites like Fiverr and Upwork. However, the scenario has completely changed now. Photographers get projects for wedding photoshoot commissions, corporate events, and entertainment events based on their portfolios on websites like Fiverr and Upwork. Portfolios can also be uploaded on Behance and linked on the websites. 

With proper skills and equipment, photography is one of the best side hustles. 

9. Video/Visual Content Creation

Content creation focusing on videos and photographs is a popular way for individuals to generate passive income. Have an interesting or rare job? 

You can make a video of a day in your life and post it on YouTube. Have you got aesthetic pictures of places that you’ve traveled to before? Consider creating an Instagram account for travel blogging. 

Studying for long hours? Stream it and create a study-with-me video on YouTube! You will have endless opportunities with advertising revenue. Tap into them by the next big player on these websites. 

10. Professional Writing

You can sell your services at a considerable discount to big firms on websites like Fiver if you’re qualified in law, research drafting, copywriting, or memorandum writing. You can solicit clients through Facebook, Google, and LinkedIn ads depending on the advertisement regulations in various jurisdictions. These are incredible sources of revenue, and you can charge, even after discounts.
