The value of a good side hustle cannot be underestimated. Some people have grown their side hustle to the point where it has become their top earner. A side hustle is a way of making extra cash while doing your regular 9-5 job and waiting for your main salary.

There are a lot of side hustles that one can do and some of them are presented below.

UBER/TAXIFY

For those who live in Lagos or Abuja or even other states that have any ride sharing app, you can join either or both of these platforms. If you have access to a car, you can either drive it yourself or give a driver and work out a payment plan for them. If you are driving it yourself, you can do after work and on weekends. Uber / Taxify take a percentage of what you make so deciding when to drive would be a non issue as there’s no flat rate involved.

You can earn between N2000-4000 if you drive after work. A total earning of N40, 000 - 60, 000 a month can be made from this.

WEEKEND TUTORING

Tutoring involves coaching young students in certain subject areas to help them achieve better grades in school.

If you are good with any subject(s) you can help others get better at it as well, and you don’t have to be a professional teacher. All you need is to brush up and do some research to make sure your curriculum is up to date and you’re good to go. Most tutors earn up to N30, 000 a month and this is a good source of additional cash. With this side hustle, you will also be instrumental in shaping young minds for the better and that’s another plus.

REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE

There are websites that can help you become a real estate agent. Agents earn 10% from any referral they make, be it a plot of land or recommending tenants. All you need is some leg work to find the houses up for rent and put them online with your contact details. If anyone ends up renting the apartment via you, you get paid for connecting property owners/landlords to buyers/tenants.
