As a social worker, you might get some weird looks if you admit you’re looking for a side hustle. Most individuals assume that social workers are so caught up in their work that they have little time for much else, let alone even more work. This might ring true some days, but social workers are just as tempted to develop side hustles as those in other industries.

Looking for some side hustle ideas? Read below for some inspiration.

Ghostwriting

Ghostwriting is a great side hustle to pick up because it doesn’t attach your name to a public project. Instead, you’ll be lending your writing services to a client, releasing the project in their name instead of yours. For social workers who want to stay out of the limelight, this is a great option. It is a hobby you can do sparingly, but you’ll also have to stay on top of deadlines that your client sets.

Take Paid Surveys

This is less of a service that you will offer and more of a money-making hobby you can accomplish while unwinding with a movie. Taking paid surveys has been an upcoming trend for many. While you will earn money at a bit of a slower pace with this method, it also will not take much effort to complete. You can engage in surveys at whatever time suits you best, not having to cancel plans or work your schedule around it. Some surveys will deposit cash to your bank account, while others will eventually reward you with enough points to get a gift card to a site they partner with.

Airbnb Experience Host

For those who are unfamiliar with this concept, Airbnb not only offers rental properties but also allows individuals to book experiences in cities. There are all kinds of experiences that travelers can book, all depending upon the experience hosts. Some people offer an afternoon of photography, a mural tour, a restaurant tour and even cooking classes. If you have a unique hobby or a rich knowledge of the areas to visit in your town, you may want to consider becoming an Airbnb experience host and leading these experiences on your days off.

Walk Dogs

If you love to unwind with pets, why not begin making some money off of it? You most likely know somebody with a dog, and the chances are that they know even more people with dogs. Many individuals will hand over large sums of cash to have someone give their dog a walk, especially while they are away. You can begin making some quick money by walking people’s dogs throughout the week. This is a great way to earn money while also getting exercise.
