Another note about tutoring: keep in mind that every hour of face-to-face work with a student might take 45 mins-1 hour of prep (this decreases with time). Factor this in to your hourly rate.
As a college student, I asked some of the professors on campus if they need help. I was able to gather relevant articles and resources for their upcoming fall courses AND my college paid me. Now that the semester is over, I am working on a fellowship virtually with the same professor. Highly recommend reaching out to any of your teachers/professors as a student.
That's a fantastic tip! Thanks so much :)
nice for you. my profs only hired based on gpa. and out of that favoritism based on community came into play. then afterwards the amount of hours was too low to be worthwhile.
Such a great tip for the students out there!
- TFD
the professors only hired people from their community or those with the highest gpa. also nepotism was rampant. many ta couldn't even speak english properly but were able to land high pay low hour jobs in research, text marking, assignment evaluation, etc. but only the inner circle could get hired. many professors used research money to elevate lifestyle.
Being bilingual is, of course, a requirement, but definitively NOT a qualification to become a translator.
I fully agree. I am bilingual but always struggle when I have to translate something to friends or family!!!
As a biologist, I thought for a second that the transcription and translation segment was going to be Chelsea teaching us about protein synthesis...
Same. lol Also, this is one of the few times when being funded through grants (with pre-determined budgets and encumbered salaries) is a distinct advantage.
Yea same 😭
Im a linguist and I first thought she meant IPA transcription haha
Haha... That was funny.
@@anortemoeller9893 so... you could combine those two interpretations, by describing transcription and translation of the genes of saccharamyces cerevisiae (brewer's yeast, used in brewing India Pale Ale and other beverages), but written out using the International Phonetic Alphabet. :-P
Very needed right now. Many opportunities have fallen through due to the situation going on currently. Thanks for the advice, Chelsea!
What situation?
Legit money is THE BEST money!
Will just take the opportunity to again say out loud to everyone on the internet seeing this to please DON'T FALL for ONLINE FORMS that make you sign up for "PAID TO DRIVE" deals (having an ad on your car), being paid to do a SURVEY, being paid to SECRET SHOP etc. PLEASE VERIFY that the JOB OFFER IS LEGIT by contacting a representative from the company the form pretends to work for. I work for an online form building platform and see everyday tons of phishing and scamming forms being created and sent out to people.
I've been paid to fill out surveys plenty. Key is to have a separate email address
Someone tried to scam me to be a secret shopper. They sent me a bogus check to deposit in my account. I researched them and found out it was a scam before I did anything. Terrible
Judiko Hall At least you’re did the research before anything bad happened!
I mean survey junkie should be legit
Just a heads up: I tried to do rev and it was so bad, like 5$ for 12 mins of audio but it would take like an hour because the audio was muffled and they were talking so fast, and you have to have a really high % accuracy too keep the job. Would look into other places first - also when I did it you could also only cash out after earning a certain amount of money. This was a few years ago, so things might have changed but def look into other things first.
Hasn’t changed at all - still averages like $2-3 for an hour of work, not good!
Thank you for this!! I applied for Rev while I was furloughed from my job. I was on a waitlist forever, but just recently got approved to start. I haven't logged in yet to start looking at jobs, but now I might not even bother.... $2-$3 an hour is not worth my time!
I think Rev is great for other countries, like here in the Philippines, a dollar is equivalent to fifty philippine pesos so we actually earn more because of the currency.
@@lalalai6444 You make a really good point. It's usually cheaper to hire workers in countries where the currency is lower but that kind of reminds me exploiting workers
I tried Rev a few years ago and had the same experience. It's not as simple as just transcribing because you have to sync the subtitles with the audio and there's a whole style guide for how to do it properly. It's a pain when there are multiple people speaking. It starts really low, at about 50 cents per minute of audio to transcribe. You'd be surprised at how long it takes to transcribe things and do a good job. The easier jobs are taken extremely quickly so you're often left with ones you can't really transcribe without the risk of being given a bad grade and at risk for losing the job entirely. It's really not worth it.
Is it weird that I actually wouldn't mind making some side money assembling IKEA furniture?
just legos for adults.
I volunteer to do it for my friends.
I'm not sure how to do this in a socially-distanced way, but it sounds like fun. :-)
Yes, it's weird. Come to think of it, I have literally paid people to put my IKEA stuff together because I despise it so much. Clearly, there is a market.
there is lot of stuff i wouldn't pay for but i know tons of people pay good money for tasks like oil changes, brake job, assembling furniture, etc. because too many people either lack the time or are too lazy. i can justify the busy professional making $100/h not having the time.
Very timely! Thanks!
Thank you, so very, very much, for having your channel.
Great video Chelsea thanks for enlightening us! I will be pursing some of these leads for sure.
In this time, remember, you DO NOT have to pay to get a job. If you have to pay, it is a scam. Avoid MLMs, Faux Brand Ambassador “Affiliates,” and other scams
Thank you.
I found myself having to quit my previous job just over 2 weeks ago, and this was released at just the right time, as my more than a dozen job applications have gone nowhere.
Thank you!
I so needed this! Especially during all the uncertainty with the world right now. I have a full-time job still thankfully, but my side freelance work ended, and I want to keep saving and paying down debt. Thank you for being a great resource as always!
what did you do for freelance work, and how does one get into it/ search for these positions.
This is very much needed now! People all over the world have had to accept either a pay cut with a reduction in hours, or being laid off. Its a difficult time for everyone financially. Great list of ways people can start earning money! Thanks for the advice Chelsea!
I think i will give it a shot! Thank you!!! Love this types of content!
Great video, thank you Chelsea. I'm sure it's going to be very helpful for everyone who watched it.
Thank you for sharing such great tips!
I like how you're always so calm;
I hate having dyslexia... so many of these jobs require beinh good with language
Yea, I have it too. The typist stuff, esp if real time I could never do. At least the tutoring can be done without it (any other subject) and babysitting. Data entry too I think in most cases is done just within a time frame so you can use whatever you normally do to double check things-- most data entry isn't too tricky someone is just outsourcing tedium they don't want to deal with. And tbf I've definitely known people who are personal assistants who struggle with language. Depending on who you're assisting and what with, it can be nbd. *Most* just want someone who can organize, reach out to other humans, and help them keep track of things.
I am dyslexic as well and I can tell you that the first step in learning a new language is the hardest, but then, it just gets easier :)
yeah, language (especially written) helps, though maybe you've found things you're good at that other people don't find as easy as they find written language? i keep remembering a test-taking tip i got a while back: When you're given a choice between two (or more) essay questions, pick the one you find easiest to answer. You don't get extra points for doing something that's harder for you instead of something that's not so hard for you, when it's supposedly the same difficulty in general.
so all of these "side gigs" pay more per hour than my actual job, which i have a degree for. fml
yeah, but that's gross, not post-tax, and not take-home. and, it's typically before taking out the overhead of setup and scheduling and communications and all that. like, if you're working for a company, they pay for the equipment and the office and the email system and everything, rather than taking it out of your paycheck.
great content as always! thank you
This was a great video! I never thought about monetizing certain skills I had.
Great video super informative!
Hi! Love this video. Please address how freelancer and working from home would need to file for tax and what are the percentages of tax for such occupations.
I’d assume 30% like most other freelancers, LLC, etc. Maybe your state’s IRS site will have more specific info.
@@shaquicedacosta Hi. I know about the 30% tax. But I just really want an in-depth video from the financial diet. Because I always feel so well-informed after I watched their videos.
@@MaikasCooking i agree. also, i feel like i know better how to find more information on the topic, rather than not knowing where to start.
Always love your content
Excellent video and helpful ideas.
Okay I totally read this as SKETCHY 1st but thank you for the all of the ideas!
Sometimes I really wished to live at the US just for this sort of beneficial details
Costanza Polastri As a Canadian, same. Nope!😂
Nah. There are still so much cons vs. pros in living in the US. I've never wanted to work there. Not trying to be political but If you're colored or a woman, forget about it. And yes, these are real things. And no, I'm not a crazy liberal/feminist. 😂
SOme of these still apply! My partner uses upwork for freelance jobs and we live in Europe.
I've done tons of research on virtual assistance as a freelancing job and even mainstream job. With regards to VA jobs posted by employers, it's not easy to be a part time (or as needed) VA if you have a full time job with set hours. Many times companies need you available during certain hours (ex: 8-5pm in their time zone if you can work remotely). Doing it as your own business has tons of challenges as well to become profitable. If you are doing employer VA work full time AND have the needed skills, it may be a good choice. Depending on income and benefits.
Hourly rates need to be filtered through billing rate/ wage rate/ actual time needed screeners. Also remember to boost rates or discount offered rates depending on who pays the employer's social security taxes.
Chelsea! I'm dying over your beautiful apartment 😍😍😍😭
Love task rabbit!
Hi Chelsea! I’d love to work with The financial diet by captioning your videos to spanish 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I love your channel I’d be delighted to sub your videos.
I really think we, spanish speakers, need this information ASAP.
Having a science background, I'm very intrigued by the idea of doing some freelance medical transcription - though I wonder if me living in Europe would be an issue or if there's other requirements lol
It's really good to see you at such a time ♥😄
A must try side hustle that can also be a good full time job, working from home.
14 min video uploaded 6 min ago and 42 likes! 😄
Okay, now lemme watch. ☺️
Thank you Chelsea, I enjoy your videos a lot! I have a question though, do you have to live in the US in order to use these websites?
Chelsea, your going to have to make different fashion choices if you want me to pay attention to this important information. I've been staring at your wonderful earrings and artwork this whole time lol!
maybe watch once, and then just listen? :-)
Hey Chelsea, I love your sense of humor. 😂
how many are easy enough to get and in demand and do not have high saturation. for example the average joe can go get a job at a store or in security. these jobs are legit but i feel way too saturated to be worthwhile. i have done translations, tuition, and babysitting. but these gigs are usually done at times most inconvenient for the person.
Furlough leave in the US is unpaid?!? Whoa that's crazy. Not shocking to hear this about the US though. In Europe you are put on a waiting period (furlough) but earning 80% of your salary, paid by the Govrenments.
0:31 bunker!! #bunkerboy
Chelsea!!! Those earrings! 😍😍😍
Working from home as a Virtual Assistant helps a lot especially at this time. It helps pays the bill.
How do you find copy writing jobs? I struggle to find these advertised on indeed or google jobs.
Really great video! I have a friend who knows 4 languages and would be great at transcribing!
But do you guys think you would make a video like this about getting certifications instead of college degrees?
I was in the middle of registering at a community college and for financial aide when all of the pandemic stuff started. Because the school is choosing to remain closed I'm now stuck in academic limbo.
As I was planning on takeing their accounting course, I started looking into different bookkeeping and accounting associations that offer certification courses. But I am unsure how much their certifications are actually worth on a resume instead of a traditional degree.
Would really love a video from you guys talking about that sort of thing. Stay safe and thank you for always putting out great content!!!🎉🎉🎉
This may be naive bc I'm coming at it from more of the programming side, but you could possibly reach out to a few companies you'd like to work for and ask what sorts of certs they prefer. My friend who does tech stuff for Starbucks got a cert through Coursera, which is great but I always thought their certs were a scam. But in his case they actually paid for it and requested he take it if he wanted to move up in his career ladder.
@@160p2GHz
Ive tried that and I have emailed counselors and professors from my community college and haven't heard anything back. And it's been a couple months. I've done some research and have confirmed that the associations I'm looking at are legit but idunno. Money's tight and all the job listings I've been reading talk about having a degree so would they even consider my resume if they saw I had certificates and not a degree? Even if it's from a well established association?
__ It’s possible they’d consider you. My former employer asked for bachelor’s but have hired those who don’t have the degree because they hit the other targets. Those people did eventually get their bachelor’s. Can’t hurt to ask
What do you think of self-publishing on platforms like Amazon KDP as a side income source?
Hi Chelsea! I work in a very technical field. I am a Database Developer but I feel incredibly intimidated on sites like up work. I have been a Database Developer for 5 years but feel like I dont have the expertise needed to do a lot of these jobs. I have been wanting to try some freelancing for the experience, but wanted to know your thoughts on imposter syndrome and trying to freelance.
Do apply. HR listings are usually wishlists and their idea of full-stack is the capabilities of an entire IT department.
Here's a great article from our website regarding imposter syndrome: thefinancialdiet.com/5-ways-i-combat-my-impostor-syndrome-and-get-sht-done/. Hope it helps!
- TFD
@@thefinancialdiet Thanks! This really did give me some good ideas. I know there are other RUclipsrs and blogs out there for tech people looking to freelance, if I find anything really good I'll probably post a follow up here.
I really needed this! I was recently looking into some things like this to do while I intern unpaid and remotely. It's hard to figure out what is legit and what is not
Thank you for sharing this ...now what about at home hair cuts ? Anyone know a hairdresser that can help me out ...I am tilted
taskrabbit wont let me sign up if i'm outside the u.s. :/
My viewers are always looking for non-sketchy ways to make money from home too. There are just too many things out there that are untrue, which can scare people off from real opportunities.
You forgot doing surveys for companies about a product or products you use.
Can I get paid to nap and watch Kdramas? Because that's all I do well..
you don't have to do something well, just well enough for whoever's paying you. c.f. "you don't have to outrun the tiger" (sorry).
250$/h for tutoring?!? NYC prices are really wild!! I make 20€/h in Milan and that's on the upper end of things...
Yeah it likely depends on your area. I’m a professor now, but I did a lot of tutoring and nannying work (up until last year) and because of the middle class towns I’ve lived in, tutoring and babysitting never offered more than $13/hour, but, most of the time, pay was between minimum wage and $10/hr.
I thought Upwork was the crappiest website for freelancers/VA's? Did something happen in their upper management that it's good to bid jobs in there now?
I've been on Upwork for quite a bit. Not the best but not the worst neither
Those weird survey things are sketchy af but google ad rewards is a legit one. It takes a while but I’ve made like 25 bucks in a month and a good way to justify dumb purchases and it takes like a minute to answer surveys.
I’ve opened a few checking accounts that offer bonus money for opening an account. Wells Fargo gave me $400 and Suntrust gave me $200! It took about 2 months to receive it but I’m ok with that. I actually don’t mind balancing to accounts, it’s fun for me. I just received a $300 coupon for Bank of America.
Being here on my student visa OPT is horrible since my income has been affected but I cant work on anything not related to my field... so not able to do any side hustles since it would be illegal so no trust worthy sites etc
maybe you could tutor in your field? i don't know what your field is, nor whether that's an option for you (legally and technically), but it might be something to look into?
bunker,,,,,LMAO
i invested more in the stock market with a bit of spare cash back in March when it crashed
If only I could use virtual babysitting for my 8 month old 😭
How about youtube text editors? :D
As soon as you said writing copy I thought about Peggy from Mad Men. We all become Peggys.
Wait... Americans aren't getting paid while on furlough?? But... isn't that the point of furlough? I've been furloughed (UK) for five months and I'm paid 80%.
I’m in Canada and we’ve been good and on ei since like March and Phase III (bars and restaurants etc) reopening is already about to happen. Is it because trump insisted everybody still work? That’s awful :(
Heads up: The Virtual Hub is only hiring from the Philippines until further notice. :(
Hi, Chelsea! I've always liked the name, "Chelsie."
REV charges mostly mere cents for a transcription. And if you are not good at it it can take you FOREVER to transcribe it. Not worth it in my opinion.
Just sell an online course teaching your secret day-trading formula. Everyone else is.
...but then it's no longer secret? :-P
Just realized how much Chelsea looks like Kimmy Schmidt lol
he video actually starts at about 2:10
I hope you're having fun with your husband in France, Chelsea!
She's not in France with him, at least according to her latest tweets.
I prefer standing on the corner selling that rock as my side hustle. Nothing sketchy about selling some good ol' freebase. Made 5k in the first 2 hours.
First things first, as always great video... but not realistic in one sense. I use to purchase services on 2 of the 4 major freelance sites and I can say one thing. The competition and the rates have drop extremely. If you are an entrepreneur or look to "buy" a service great, but if you offer your service ...and live in a western country (North America, Europe, ect) its totally NOT viable. Amazing skillful Asians do 3 times the work as accurate with 25% of the price... I know it because I use them. No way an American can make an income worth the time invested.
Thank you for these side hustles, *AMERICANS* need *Money* so badly right now! I've got over 20 side hustles on my channel!
While FlexJobs.com IS a paid service, it is an excellent resource for finding part time, freelance and work from home jobs. I found my medical coding job there in 2017. Most jobs are for someone who already has a specific skill set requiring a certificate, license or degree, but they do have some entry level position such as online ordering for food service and such.
It took 2 minutes and 15 seconds to get to the point of the video.

Why does this video have a 3 week turnaround time? 3 weeks to edit a 13 minute video?
With multiple videos a week and the necessary lead time to make sure content planning is covered a few weeks ahead (e.g. something happens and they can't film videos for 2 weeks, they don't have to miss an upload) 2-4 weeks turnaround time is pretty standard for youtube
Absolutely. Cutting extraneous bits of a video to keep it concise, adding graphics, choosing a thumbnail, a thirteen minute video can sometimes be over an hour of filming, etc.
high key if Chelsea makes an OnlyFans I’m subscribing 💕💕
That's a pretty Karen hair cut
oh god please no. Copywriting is a hard skill, takes years and is a science in its own right, Please please dfo fo not make people think that applying en masse its ok. It's taking away from people who have spent their life working and perfecting their craft and results in bad writing and horrible company copy. NOPE.
Magda Wolak if you’re that talented as a copywriter, people at the entry level are not competition unless you’re still taking very basic jobs. I’m a freelance editor but do specialist work in academic publishing, so if a bunch of people want to get into copy editing that’s fine by me, they need more specialised skills before they start competing with me.
Voice teachers have been hit hard, please do not hire minimum wage babysitters to teach music lessons. We are highly specialized and trained to teach singing in a healthy way that does not damage a child’s voice. Please search NATS if you’d like to find a credible singing teacher.
