24 Things You Can Start Doing Today in Order to Make $500 a Month!

Editing

If you’re good with details and have paper or video editing skills, you should capitalize on those in your free time. You could make anywhere between $15 and $25 per hour, meaning that you’ll only need to work 20 to 33 hours to make $500.

For video editors, you could look for content creators on YouTube that are in need of your expertise. In terms of editing papers, you could look for opportunities to edit scientific journals. These high-paying gigs will help you reach much higher than your $500 a month target.

Being good with words is also essential for many businesses who want to reach their audiences successfully. Looking for these opportunities is a good start.

Virtual Assistant

Virtual assistants make between $12.50 to $17.50 an hour. You could make $500 in 28 to 40 hours.

Thanks to online tools such as Zoom and Slack more and more assistants can now work from the comfort of their own home. If you’re comfortable with technology and have pristine organizational skills then look for small businesses that may be in need of part-time virtual assistants.

You’ll likely take care of mailing software, some graphics, editing, and plenty of other small jobs that these businesses can’t afford to hire a full-time professional for.
