In the rapidly changing era, more and more people who are no longer satisfied with "single occupations" choose to become "slash youth". This not only enriches your lifestyle and expands your network, but also gives you the opportunity to add extra income and protect against the risks of an uncertain economy.
Therefore, many people will consider starting a side hustle, hoping to use their free time to make money, and preferably have an after-sleep income. But many people don't have resources, connections, and money, and it's too difficult to start a side hustle through traditional means.
Therefore, I combine 3 types of common side hustles to recommend 70 platforms for you to start a side hustle through the Internet, hoping that you can find the right one to start a side hustle and increase your income.
01 Teaching side hustle
If you are good at certain skills and knowledge areas, you have the conditions to do an online teaching side hustle.
You can make a list of what you are good at, divided into specific skills and knowledge. Like what:
Skills: playing the piano, baking cakes, arranging flowers, raising cats, cooking, growing vegetables......
Knowledge: historical knowledge, military knowledge, financial knowledge, health knowledge......
Once you have your own list, you can decide if there is something you want to turn into a side hustle, and then go find the right online platform, here are some specific examples:
1. K12 tutoring (elementary, junior high and high tutoring)
All you need is a computer that can turn on videos, and you can register and apply to become a tutor on the online tutoring platform.
Platform Recommendation:
● WeChat public account: Bang Kexia, Dian Father and Son, Tutor 114, etc

Each platform has different requirements for teacher qualifications, enter the teacher application page, you can see the requirements of the platform, and you can submit your resume if you meet the requirements.
Job Requirements:
● Bachelor's degree or above (985/211 is preferred), or a normal college student
Income:
● Hourly billing, each platform has a different salary, and the salary of tutoring is different for different grades, and the higher the teacher's education, the better the school, and the higher the salary.
● The current hourly wage of tutors is roughly between 50-200 yuan/hour, and if you become a famous teacher, the hourly wage will be higher.
● If you can drive course sales, you can also get additional rewards from the platform.
2. Piano sparring
If you can play the piano or understand music theory, you can consider doing online piano sparring.

3. Self-media
In addition to the above two types of work that can directly carry out online teaching, it can also be monetized through the operation of new media platforms. Of course, this process will be relatively longer, because you need to accumulate your own reputation and build your own brand in the early stage.
Platform Recommendation:
● WeChat public account
● Weibo
● Short video platforms: Douyin, Kuaishou, Volcano, Bilibili (Bilibili)
● Knowledge payment platform: Zhihu live, get, Qianchat, and today's headline paid columns
● Radio audio platforms: Himalaya, Dragonfly FM, Lychee
● Lecture platforms: Tencent Classroom, NetEase Cloud Classroom, Lychee Micro Class, Lecture Network, Taobao Classroom
Profit method:
❶ WeChat public accounts, Weibo, and short videos are suitable for gaining attention and building personal brands.
You can show off your skills or knowledge on these platforms, and when you gain attention and form a brand effect, you can accept advertisements or open paid courses, paid communities, and sell peripheral products on these three platforms.
❷ Knowledge payment platform allows you to make direct profits.
Each platform also has different types of knowledge suitable for delivery, which requires you to research the characteristics of each platform and choose the one that matches your content.
For example, history, business, finance, psychology and other types of knowledge are more suitable for the platform of "get", while skills such as cooking, flower arrangement, cat raising, and baking are more suitable for the platform of "Qianchat".
❸ Broadcast audio platform for all knowledge and skills shown through sound.
If your content is high-quality enough, you can open paid courses to earn direct revenue, or you can build a paid community to drive traffic through free courses.
Someone in Himalaya offers a love skills class, attracting viewers to add WeChat through free audio courses, and then encouraging listeners to pay to join the WeChat community to get customized love skills services.
❹ Register as a lecturer on the lecture platform and upload lecture videos to earn money.
Start a teaching side hustle by operating self-media, and if you succeed, it may become your main business.
02 Service-oriented side hustle
Service work is often either labor-intensive, time-intensive, or because people need it but are not good at it. For example, cleaning the house, unchanging the drain, moving, running errands, manicures, makeup, usually someone is more willing to pay someone else to do these things.
These jobs can be ordered through the online platform, and the following 3 service-oriented jobs are very suitable for developing side hustles:
1. Beauty and body hairdressing
If you want to take beauty, nail art, makeup, styling and other work as a side hustle, but don't want to invest in opening a store or work every day, then apply to become a craftsman on an online beauty industry platform, you can use your free time to take orders.
Recommended platforms:

03 Sales-oriented side hustle
Sales side hustles are the most common type of side hustles, where you can sell both a certain product and your own specialty.
Engaging in a sales-oriented side hustle, investing too much is obviously irrational, since it is a side hustle, it is best to make a steady profit without losing, even if you don't make money, it is best not to lose. Then I recommend 2 types of platforms that can start a sales side hustle and invest less:
1. Specialty sales
❶ Design
● Design outsourcing projects (website: Zhu Bajie, Weike)
You can find suitable private work on these 2 websites, including: logo design, VI design, advertising materials, packaging design, etc., companies from all over the country will regularly publish their needs on the website, and designers can take orders according to their areas of expertise.
● Sell personal works (websites: Qiantu.com, Nitu.com, Baotu.com, Huitu.com, MAKA)
These design websites allow you to upload your own work, and as long as someone buys it, you will earn money.
❷ Dubbing
● APP: Himalaya, dubbing show
There are some popular dubbing tasks in both platforms, and they are clearly priced. Both charged per episode and hourly.
❸ Translation
Website: Youdao Translation, Translator, Quick Translation, Translator Meow.com
❹ Technical class
Website: Programmer's Inn, Cloud Walker, Jiefanghao, Micro Engine
❺ Photography (sell your own pictures to make money)
Website: Ruijing Creative, Panoramic Picture, Visual China, Beautiful Scene, Oriental IC, China Gallery, Huitu, Yitu, picpas, fotor, Hailuo Creative
2. Product sales
❶ APP：1688
This is Alibaba's e-commerce procurement and wholesale platform, which supports dropshipping, if you want to be a micro-business, you might as well join 1688 to become a distributor. Most of the micro-business organizations that let you buy products and pay franchise fees cut you like leeks.
❷ APP: Salted fish, turn
Both are second-hand trading platforms where you can sell your own idle items. If you want to use this as a money-making side hustle, then you can buy some goods and sell them on the platform to make a difference. Of course, whether you can make money depends on your vision.
These platforms allow you to earn money in your free time outside of your main business, but you should also pay attention to:
Starting a side hustle is actually a strategy for your career planning, which can be said to be career Plan B.
When your level has not yet been able to control multiple identities, don't have the idea of running your main business and side business in parallel, and don't pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon.
