Easy Summer Gigs for Introverts
It is pretty safe to say that during the pandemic of 2020 a lot of people became introverts. This is totally understandable with lockdowns in effect and more people moving to work from home a lot of people got real comfortable staying in place. If you’re one of these newly formed introverts and looking to earn some extra coin here are three easy summer gigs for introverts.
Freelance Writing
Freelance writing is a great way for creative people to make extra money no matter the season so it can definitely supplement your wallet this summer. This type of writing can take many forms from posting in blogs, writing scripts for Youtube videos or even short stories. The amount of money you will make per assignment will depend on your experience level, who you’re working for, and what you’re writing about.
To see if this is a summer gig you might be interested in go and check out Flexjobs. This is a wonderful resource for anyone looking for some extra cash in the new gig economy. What makes this site so great is you can personalize our search for any type of work you’re looking for not just writing.
Book Reviewer
If you’re an avid reader and ever wished you could get paid to read books well guess what? You totally can. There a dozen of companies online that will pay you to read and review books but the most prominent of all is Kirkus Media.
This gig involves writing as well but in a much shorter format. Generally, the reviews are only about 350 words in length and are opinion-based. So, you won’t spend as much time researching as you would for other freelance writing jobs.
Dog Walker
While you may have to lightly interact with dog owners for this one, being a dog walker is really an introvert’s dream (especially if you’re a dog lover). You can market your services on your personal social media accounts to get started and it can be a fairly lucrative hustle. These days, most walkers are charging $20 for a half-hour walk and $40 for an hour. Of course, you may want to offer your most loyal customers a 10% to 20% discount.
You don’t necessarily have to market your services either. Now there are apps like Rover that allow you to sign up as a dog walker or sitter. With this app, you get dog walking assignments and people can choose you as their walker or sitter. You can upload an image of yourself and add information to your profile to let dog owners get to know a bit more about you. Then, when the time comes, Rover provides the owner with a box for their door to put their keys in. You arrive at your scheduled walk time, open the door, and meet your new furry friend for the next 30 minutes to an hour. If you want to earn even more, consider providing boarding and overnight care for pets as well.
Nowadays, introverts can really have it all. With more people working from home and the gig economy booming, there are a plethora of easy jobs to do. These are just three of the numerous easy summer gigs for introverts.
