However, the internet is a vast space, and you may get lost while trying to find a legit one. We prepared a guide for you to find the right site for the side gig you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are Side Gigs?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Side gigs are extra jobs you do besides your current full-time or part-time work. They can be anything from walking the neighbor\u2019s dog to creating a brand new website. As such, you can choose from hundreds, or maybe thousands, of gigs online, depending on the type of work you would like to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing about side gigs is you don\u2019t need a huge amount of money to start. Some can even begin their side hustling journey simply by surfing the net and searching for one. Side gigs are a fantastic way to boost up your financial health and your creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many freelance artists and skilled professionals offer their services on the sites we\u2019ve listed below. But, you don\u2019t need to be super talented to land a side gig. If you have a skill or two, patience, and determination, you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-intro\" id=\"section--find-online-gigs\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-intro__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homeincomeguides.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/notebook-and-laptop-700x700.jpg\" class=\"wp-block-intro__bg-image\" alt=\"notebook and laptop\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homeincomeguides.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/notebook-and-laptop-700x700.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.homeincomeguides.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/notebook-and-laptop.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 769px) 768px,\n            \t\t\t\t\t1500px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-intro__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Places to Find Side Gigs Online<\/h2>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ss-productmain\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ss-productmain__content-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ss-productmain__image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homeincomeguides.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/upwork-logo.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"upwork logo\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ss-productmain__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3>1.

After all, there are many sites that can offer you work. If you are looking for the right sites, complete the following:<\/p>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-number-list\">\n\t\t\t\n<li class=\"wp-block-number-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"h3\">Consider Which Side Gig You Would Prefer to Do<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Side gigs are as varied as the people who do them. Side gigs can be anything from graphic design, video editing, writing, editing, transcription, customer support, virtual assistant, to administrative work. Be specific on what kind of work(s) you want to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/li>\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-number-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"h3\">Search sites where you can find these specific gigs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing what type of side gig you want is important when choosing sites. Do you want something you can do leisurely? You might consider sites like Swagbucks, Craigslist, and Fiverr. Or rather, do you want to fill up your extra hours with part-time work? Places like Fiverr, Upwork, Flexjobs, and Guru might be a good start. If you want a long-term side hustle, you can find them on sites like Flexjobs, Guru, Upwork, and Toptal.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/li>\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-number-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"h3\">Learn how to use the site and how to attract work<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take time to study what the site offers and how the payment system works. Before you go creating an account, make sure you understand the terms and conditions. Reading site reviews can be helpful, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/li>\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-number-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"h3\">Sign Up and Create Your Account<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Set up a profile that will be interesting and irresistible to clients. Showcase your top skills and create a professional resume, video introduction, or About Me section. Connecting your LinkedIn and other social media accounts can also boost your online presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/li>\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-number-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"h3\">Bid For Jobs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may be a bit scary to bid for jobs the first time, but not once you start to get the hang of it. Think of it as a normal, in-person application process. While bidding, keep in mind not to spam as your account may be suspended if you send out too many messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/li>\n\n\t\t<\/ol>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-intro\" id=\"section--cant-find-right-site\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-intro__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homeincomeguides.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/man-with-video-camera-700x700.jpg\" class=\"wp-block-intro__bg-image\" alt=\"man with video camera\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homeincomeguides.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/man-with-video-camera-700x700.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.homeincomeguides.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/man-with-video-camera.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 769px) 768px,\n            \t\t\t\t\t1500px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-intro__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Still Can\u2019t Find the Right Site?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>As we have said previously, it can be daunting to find a side gig online, especially if there are many sites to choose from. If you still can\u2019t find the perfect fit for you even after looking at their job listings, here are some sites you can also consider:<\/p>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-number-list\">\n\t\t\t\n<li class=\"wp-block-number-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"h3\">1. LinkedIn<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LinkedIn is primarily built for professional networking. It\u2019s not only great for setting up your online presence, but also for finding prospective clients. Build relationships with the people you made connections with. Who knows, someone might offer you a side gig with an opportunity for a long-term business relationship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/li>\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-number-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"h3\">2. Facebook Groups<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook isn\u2019t only used for keeping up to date with friends, neighbors, and college classmates nowadays. There are countless groups on this site that are focused on job searching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How these groups work varies from one to another. But, like with other Facebook groups, you can post there and announce you are open to work. Groups like these are also full of people looking for freelancers or taskers who can do jobs for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/li>\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-number-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"h3\">3. Reddit<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Believe it or not, you can find some serious side gigs here. Subreddits like r\/freelance, r\/forhire, and r\/jobbit are full of people looking for work and others who are searching for someone who can help them with their business or company. Just like in everything, you need to be careful and discerning. Some jobs can be scams while others will try to lowball you. Reddit can also be a good place to learn tips and tricks in this business.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/li>\n\n\t\t<\/ol>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-intro\" id=\"section--how-they-work\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-intro__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homeincomeguides.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/woman-on-laptop-700x700.jpg\" class=\"wp-block-intro__bg-image\" alt=\"woman on laptop\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homeincomeguides.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/woman-on-laptop-700x700.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.homeincomeguides.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/woman-on-laptop.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 769px) 768px,\n            \t\t\t\t\t1500px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-intro__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do Gig Job Sites Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Most of the gig job sites on this list are made for freelancers and employers alike. Those who are looking for work can create profiles on these platforms. Employers can search for a prospect, interview the ones they selected, and choose the best one among all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The site\u2019s job is to match up the user and the employer, according to their skills, needs, and rates. Some sites also take care of the payment, making sure that the freelancer gets their due and the employer is satisfied with the product. They can also mediate when a disagreement arises between the two parties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As more and more people search for work online, making money using only your computer and internet connection is easier than ever.
