hey everyone welcome back to the channel
today we're diving into something super
relevant for all of you students out
there and that is the best work from
home jobs they can help you earn money
while balancing your studies now I've
got some unique options that you've
probably never heard about before so
stick around until the end and let's go
ahead and jump in right now with number
one on the list which is probably one
you have heard about but it's actually
really good and that's online tutoring
now before you leave I want to tell you
a story when I was in college I stumbled
into online tutoring almost by accident
and I started by helping my classmates
prepare for a tough pharmacy school
entrance exam called the PCAT so
basically I studied really hard for the
PCAT I found the best study resources
and then I end up scoring really well on
it and the word spread quickly and
before I knew it I was making over $100
an hour tutoring other people on how
they can do well on the test as well now
this experience not only helped me
financially but it also deepened my
understanding of the material and I was
literally a college student making up to
$180 an hour doing this but it's not
just standardized test there's lots of
other options for things that you can
tutor people on so basically what you're
doing is helping other students
understand subjects that you excel in
and this could be anything from math to
science to language skills or even test
prep and there's many reasons why this
is appealing for instance there's
flexible hours that work around your
class schedule you also get to reinforce
your own knowledge and most importantly
you get to develop your communication
and teaching skills English mother do
you speak it now the way that you'd get
started for this is you'd sign up to a
platform such as VIP kid chag or tutor
me and then you create a compelling
profile highlighting your strengths and
then you just start with a few hours a
week of tutoring and you scale up as you
get comfortable now another thing you
can do is actually just tutor people in
real life and in person and the way you
can get started by this is joining
different School groups and then telling
people that you're a tutor for these
different subjects you could also post
on your local University Forum you could
post on Facebook Marketplace or
Craigslist as well now some of the
skills that you're going to need here
are of course a strong knowledge in your
subject area you're going to have to
have patience and good communication
skills and basic technical skills if
you're doing online tutoring now here's
how much you can make according to glass
door on average as a tutor but
realistically speaking when you first
start you're likely going to be working
part-time and you're not going to be
making anywhere near that much here's
some examples of other people that have
had success tutoring as well you can
pause the video and check them out if
you'd like now some potential challenges
here would be building a consistent
student base right so basically building
a book of students who are regularly
booking your tutoring sessions also
dealing with different learning styles
can be challenging and some growth
opportunities here would be developing
your own course materials and then
specializing in either test preparation
or something much more specific for
higher rates and overall I think this is
a phenomenal opportunity I made a ton of
money doing this when I was in college
I'm going to give this one a 9 out of 10
opportunity score and by the way guys if
you're loving these money-making tips so
far go ahead and cheers that like button
really helps out the channel and I'll
know that you want more content like
this next on the list is going to be
social media management and this one's
close to my heart because it's
essentially what I do now with my
YouTube channel just on a larger scale
and when I was starting out I created
several YouTube channels on different
topics and while those early attempts
didn't take off they did teach me
invaluable lessons about content
creation and audience engagement and
basically what you're going to be doing
here is managing social media accounts
for businesses creating and scheduling
posts and engaging with followers and
then on top of that especially if you
get a little more advanced you're likely
going to be analyzing the performance of
the content and making improvements on
it and the reason why this is appealing
is utilize the skills you likely already
have if you're watching this and you're
on the younger side and you watch a lot
of content cont you likely already know
what makes good or bad content and so
this is one of those jobs that you
pretty much automatically have an
advantage with and a lot of the time
they actually prefer to hire younger
people for these roles plus this is one
of those jobs that can be done in short
bursts of time between classes now one
thing that's really cool about this is
it does keep you up to date with social
media trends and if you want to start
your own business later on that is built
off of content this is going to be a
great Gateway for you to do that so the
way you'd get started here is you would
familiarize yourself with social media
management tools then you'd create a
portfolio by managing your own social
media effectively and then you'd look
for opportunities on job boards or by
directly approaching small businesses so
the skills you need here are an
understanding of the different social
media platforms you need some creativity
for Content creation and you need some
basic analytic skills the potential
earnings here are likely going to be
between 15 and $50 per hour and you
could be potentially earning $500 to
$2,000 per month part-time some
potential challenges in this job would
be keeping up with constantly changing
algorithms and Trends also balancing
multiple client needs and a tip for for
this is to make sure to use scheduling
tools to manage multiple accounts
efficiently and some growth
opportunities would be to expand into
paid social media advertising and offer
comprehensive digital marketing services
so you could go from being a social
media manager to owning your own social
media or starting a social media agency
as well so overall I think this one is
phenomenal lots of opportunity here this
is a type of digital marketing and
digital marketing is without a doubt the
most effective type of marketing in the
modern day so I'm going to give this one
an opportunity score of 10 out of 10 and
by the way if you want to take your
digital marketing skills to the next
level check out the comprehensive
digital marketing course and free
training below it covers everything from
social media strategy to SEO to paid ads
and it helps you decide which one is
right for you and if digital marketing
in general is going to be a good choice
for you as well and it's completely free
so check it out down in the description
and the pin comment below next is going
to be virtual event planning so event
planners organize and manage online
events webinars and virtual conferences
for businesses and organizations and
it's appealing to a lot of people
because it combines creativity with
technical skills plus there's growing
demand in the post-pandemic world and it
can be done entirely remotely so the way
you'd get started is you would
familiarize yourself with the virtual
event platform such as Zoom hopin Etc
you'd create a portfolio by organizing
free events for local groups and then
you'd network with businesses and event
organizers on places like LinkedIn now
some skills that you would need for this
are strong organizational skills
familiarity with various online
platforms and problem solving abilities
for technical issues here's the average
earn earnings for event planners
according to glass door and I recently
came across a Reddit post where someone
mentioned their sister-in-law plans
medical conferences for corporations and
that just shows when it comes to Virtual
event planning it's really good if you
specialize in a particular type of
virtual event planning and this is
definitely something that you can start
as a student especially if you find the
right Niche now some potential
challenges here are keeping up with
rapidly evolving technology and managing
multiple stakeholders and time zones and
a tip with this would be to create
detailed run of show documents to keep
events on track now some growth
opportunities here would be to
specialize in Niche markets such as
virtual trade shows online gaming
tournaments Etc and you could also
develop your own virtual event platforms
or communities so overall I do like this
one I'm going to go ahead and give it an
8 out of 10 opportunity score next is
going to be content writing so during my
early YouTube days I experimented with
content writing for different niches and
it was fascinating because each article
I wrote taught me something new and this
experience actually helped me later when
I was creating scripts for my YouTube
videos because kind of knew which types
of niches I liked and which ones I
didn't like and I also knew things that
were important like which niches are in
demand and which niches you can get the
most views from now in this job you'd
basically be creating articles blog
posts social media content etc for
businesses or websites and the reason
why it's appealing is because it
improves your writing skills you have
flexible deadlines and you have an
opportunity to learn about various
different types of topics so the way
that you'd get started here is you'd
create a portfolio of writing samples
you'd sign up to platforms like upwork
Fiverr or text broker and you start with
smaller easier projects and work your
way up and the biggest thing here is to
keep on building your portfolio and
making it better and better now some
skills that you would need here are good
writing and grammar skills research
abilities and the ability to follow
Style Guidelines and when it comes to
the potential earnings you can make
really good money here's the average
according to glass door now some
potential challenges with this would be
meeting tight deadlines sometimes people
might need a blog post put out very
quickly and sometimes you can also have
to deal with writer block and a tip for
this is to create a Content calendar to
manage your workload effectively and
embrace AI because it can help you make
your content faster and better and some
growth opportunities here are for you to
specialize in a particular type of
writing and a specific Niche so for
instance you could do technical writing
for dentists or you could do blog posts
for real estate agents and it's very
important that you specialize in this
type of Niche because that's the only
way that you're going to be able to give
really high quality information for the
people who read that type of content and
of course later on down the line you
could start your own content marketing
agency so I'm going to go ahead and give
this one an opportunity score of 7.5 out
of 10 now by the way have you ever tried
writing any type of content drop a
comment below and let me know your
experience or if you're thinking about
giving it a shot I love hearing back
from you guys next is going to be
virtual assistant I remember when I
first learned about working remotely I
met a guy in a cafe making $20,000 a
month only having to work about 5 to 10
hours a week remotely and he had this
cool satellite internet setup that gave
him Wi-Fi anywhere and it was eye
openening for me about the power of in
demand skills and remote work and one
thing that's really funny about this
situation is he actually hired virtual
assistants to help him with his job and
as a virtual assistant you'd basically
be providing remote administrative
support to businesses or entrepreneurs
and the reason it's appealing is because
you get to do a variety of different
tasks you get to develop a wider range
of practical skills and this can lead to
valuable business connections and
valuable skills that you've learned so
the way you'd get started here is to
identify your strengths such as
organization communication being
techsavvy Etc and you'd create profiles
on platforms like zirtual or time Etc
and you'd probably want to pick some
type of Niche here so for instance you
could be a virtual assistant for real
estate agents or a virtual assistant for
agency owners and then you want to be
networking on LinkedIn or in online
business communities now some of the
skills that you're going to need for
this are always good communication
skills good time management and
organization and proficiency with common
softwares such as Microsoft Office
Google workspace Etc and the potential
earnings here are going to be about $15
to $30 per hour and realistically you're
probably going to be earning somewhere
between $500 and $2,000 per month
depending on the amount of hours that
you work and in many cases you can work
flexible schedules now some potential
challenges here would be managing
multiple clients and tasks in some cases
virtual assistants actually work with
multiple different clients and also
dealing with unclear instructions and a
tip on this is to develop a system for
tracking tasks and deadlines now some
growth opportunities here are for you to
specialize in areas like social media
management or bookkeeping for higher pay
and of course once you discover a type
of IND industry or job that you like you
can move from being a virtual assistant
into more of a specialist but overall
this is a really good place to start I'm
going to go ahead and give it a 7.5 out
of 10 opportunity score and by the way
if you're finding this video helpful
what are you waiting for go ahead and
share it with a friend who's looking to
make some extra cash as well next is
going to be website testing and this
reminds me of my early days of making
money online because when I was around
12 I used to upload content onto a
website called e-bombs world and they
had a point system where you could
exchange points for prizes and it wasn't
exact website testing but it taught me
about user engagement and how websites
work and that's actually one of the
first times that I actually made real
money online and as a website tester you
can evaluate websites or apps for
usability and provide feedback to
developers and the reason why this is
appealing is because short tasks can fit
into small pockets of free time and so
if you have 20 or 30 minutes free this
would be a great thing for you to do
because that's probably about as long as
it would take you to evaluate a website
it typically doesn't have to be done at
a certain time period And there's no
special skills required Beyond basic
computer literacy also as a side note
this is a really good one to get into to
build a portfolio if you want to get
into website design or ux UI design now
one way that you can get started with
this is to sign up on platforms like
user testing or testing time you can
also complete practice tests to improve
your feedback skills and you can be
consistent and provide thorough honest
feedback now some skills needed here are
the ability to clearly express your
thoughts basic knowledge of web browsing
and attention to detail and the
potential earnings are $10 to $60 per
test which means you you could
potentially be earning $100 to $500 per
month now some potential challenges here
would be the limited number of tests
available the tests that you have
available are likely going to depend on
where you live and other factors that
are kind of outside of your control and
also the need to respond quickly to test
invitations and a tip here is to sign up
to multiple different testing platforms
to increase your opportunities now some
growth opportunities here are the
ability to transition into becoming a
professional uxui designer and also
offering more comprehensive usability
audits for businesses and overall I'm
going to give this one opportunity score
of 6.5 out of 10 and by the way if
you're enjoying this content and want
more tips on making money online hit
that subscribe button and ring the bell
you won't want to miss out on some of
our upcoming videos because we've got
some awesome stuff planned next is going
to be an AI prompt engineer so this one
is Cutting Edge I recently met a
computer science student at a Tech
conference who's making a killing as an
AI prompt engineer he's essentially
teaching AI models how to understand and
respond to human queries more
effectively and AI prompt Engineers
develop and refine prompts for AI
language models to improve their
performance and accuracy and the reason
why this is appealing is because it's a
Cutting Edge field with high demand it
also combines creativity with technical
knowledge and there's potential for very
high earnings and the way you'd get
started with this is learn more about
natural language processing and AI
models there's lots of information out
there that's free or very affordable on
websites like YouTube Con Academy or
corsera and then you'd experiment with
platforms like gpt3 or Claude and you
need to look for opportunities on AI
focused job boards or directly with AI
companies now the skills needed for this
are an understanding of AI and machine
learning Concepts creativity in
formulating diverse prompts and
analytical skills to evaluate AI
responses and the potential earnings
here are astronomically high you can
actually make $50 to $200 per hour and
you could potentially be earning ,000 to
$5,000 per month even just working
part-time now some potential challenges
are this is a rapidly evolving field
requiring constant learning there is
high competition as the field gains
popularity and a tip for this by the way
is to always stay updated with the
latest AI research and developments and
some growth opportunities are going to
be you can transition into AI research
or development roles and you can start a
Consulting business for AI
implementation so yeah this one's a
great opportunity I am so bullish on AI
at this point I used to be an AI hater
and I've completely changed my mind on
it and so yeah this one's a great
opportunity I'm going to give it a 9 out
of 10 opportunity score and by the way
