1. Freelance Graphic Designer

Graphic design is another time-honored field for freelancing. Many SEO experts will hire you to add a spice of infographics to their content. You can do something as simple as a logo or a brochure. You can also do illustrations for blog posts.

What it pays:

• PayScale says the average hourly rate for a freelance graphic designer is $30.
• However, you can make more money if you bill by the project instead of by the hour.
• For example, if you charge $160 for a logo, it takes only 2 hours to make. Hence, your effective hourly rate is now $80.

How to get the job:

• You do not need to study graphic design. However, you need graphic design skills. These skills are taught online. I recommend learning how to use Adobe Illustrator. 
• Once you have some fantastic designs, you can put them in a portfolio on your website.

How to get the job:

• When you are in school, the easiest way to get started is to edit work for your friends.
• Getting into other positions where you can edit is also helpful (such as the campus newspaper or local Newspapers).
• Brand yourself as an editor. Again, build a portfolio and let people know you are an editor in your social media profiles.

• Surveys usually take a few minutes to complete, and you’re often limited to a certain number per day.

Businesses need to maintain a presence on social media to engage with their fans and spread their brand awareness. This helps these businesses drive web traffic to their site and their Google My Business Listings.

However, most business owners know nothing about how to use social media. Enter social media marketers who use their knowledge of social media and marketing best practices to get their clients one.

What it pays:
