5 easy side hustles for Singapore women to earn extra cash

If you enjoy writing reviews, Partipost is the mobile app you should be using.

In a nutshell, the Singapore-based app is a platform where anyone can get paid to write about brands they love. The best part? It is accessible to anyone with a social media account and it doesn’t matter how many followers you have.

After downloading the app, you will be taken through a simple and straightforward registration process that entails entering details about your social media account such as your handle, which platform you are using, number of followers and demography of followers. You will also be prompted to select your interests. Examples include technology, fashion, fitness, food, childcare, nightlife and social causes.

Once you’ve created an account, you can head on over to the “Campaigns” page to choose from the list of available campaigns to participate in. Under each campaign, you will find details such as the aim of the campaign, requirements, terms and conditions, task(s) required, deadline and payout you’re entitled to. For certain campaigns, you will be required to buy the item and show proof of purchase, along with uploading your post.

Depending on the campaign, the reviews could be on social media or websites.

Partipost offers payouts that range from $2 to over $100 for approved content that accumulates with an increase in engagement. #Kaching!

Once you’ve completed the campaign, you would be happy to know that cashing out is an equally fuss-free and secure experience. All you have to do is set up a Partipost wallet with your bank account details and your earnings will be deposited into your wallet. You can then withdraw your earnings (capped at a minimum of $5) before transferring the amount to your bank account.

If you’re thinking of giving Partipost a shot, just remember these four keywords: creativity, authenticity, honesty and humour.

Partipost is available on the App store/Google Play store.

Got a niche skill that you could pass on or possess a decent academia track record? You can bet there is a (huge!) market for it. After all, tuition is a $1.4 billion industry in Singapore. There will be plenty of parents that will thank and, not to mention, pay you for giving some extra lessons.

If you’re looking for flexibility, consider teaching platforms like Preply and Verbling that will allow you to plan lessons around your schedule and charge the hourly rate you want.

If you are a good listener and fast typer, you could make some decent extra money by transcribing something. There are plenty of transcription jobs available online on websites such as Fiverr, Freelancer.sg, Upwork, TranscribeMe, GoTranscript and Rev with little or no experience required. That said, some platforms might require you to take and pass a test before proceeding. The possibilities are endless. Best of all, you can complete these transcription tasks in your “spare time”.

For starters, we recommend going through your entire house, decluttering and selling things that no longer spark joy. You can put these items up for sale on free apps like Facebook Marketplace or Carousell. Alternatively, you can create your own website if you want to make this a more professional business.

With the spike in demand for delivery services in Singapore, it has become one of the fastest growing side hustles. If you can drive or ride a bike, consider applying as a delivery partner with food delivery providers such as Foodpanda, GrabFood and Deliveroo. The only downside is you can’t do it all the time (with most restaurants closing around 10pm). However, it’s still a great way to earn some extra cash.
