Hey there!

Are you considering part time work at all? I don't know too much about side hustles you reference, but I know that for me personally ,being a student ambassador has been a really flexible job to pick up some money on the side. I choose what shifts to apply for, and even being an ambassador on here counts as a shift! There are so many part time job opportunities at uni, such as cafes, bars and shops, and a lot are very understanding of you being a student and being flexible!

On the more side hustle note, I so know a friend who sold her A-level and Degree notes and got a fair amount for it!

Hope that helps in some way,
Kat

Hi there,

It's great to start thinking of a side hustle, you can earn money as and when you choose.

Have you considered doing photography for your university, nightclubs, or even start advertising yourself on social media as a freelancer? This way you could work by taking photos of things you love - as long as you are passionate (which it sounds like you are) you will enjoy it :smile:

I hope this helps.

Have you registered on Fiverr?
You can set up a profile and people can essentially hire you for assignments. What about being a nightclub photographer for uni events?
I also agree with the above and rate being a student ambassador, you can pick the hours to suit your schedule and it's fun and sociable. :smile:
