You've got the artistic chops, whether it's taking a paintbrush to a canvas or creating a digital design. But now it's time for you to get paid for your talents! People love feeling like a product was just made for them — and that's exactly what you can do. You might find that connecting people with artwork that's customized and meaningful can be equal parts heartwarming and lucrative.

Your friends and family might've made fun of you for being such an organization nerd. But you'll get the last laugh when you're raking in the cash from helping people get their lives together! It seems you're pretty handy when it comes to Excel sheets. In fact, you probably have a better-than-average understanding of designing a spreadsheet and implementing operational formulas. People need spreadsheets for a variety of reasons — personal finance tracking, goal setting, travel preparations, etc. And you can be the person to get paid for helping them!

Spreadsheet Designer

You're good at problem-solving and nothing warms your heart quite like seeing a fully crossed-out to-do list. Plus, has anyone ever told you you're a great communicator? All of these natural skills can help you become an excellent virtual assistant (and make a little extra cash in the process). And, you can be a virtual assistant for pretty much any of your interests — social media, blogs, YouTube channels, small businesses, and more! The possibilities are endless.

You probably eat, sleep, and breathe books. To you, nothing beats the feeling of watching (or listening to) a story unfold right in front of you. And now you can get paid to help bring that joy to others! You might as well start practicing your vocal warmups.

You probably have at least one thing you're just reaaally good at — like, you could create an entire presentation on it (and totally nail it, obvs). The good news is there are people out there who just might pay you to tutor them in that subject! And tutoring doesn't have to just be about math, foreign language, or English. You could tutor someone in a skill, like guitar playing, drawing, or photography.

Tutor

As a part-time pet sitter, you can combine your passion for pets with the skills you've learned from taking care of your own pet over the years. Of course, some pets may require more attention and care than others, but you can always adjust accordingly. Bottom line is, if you don't mind cleaning fur off your carpet after every pet sitting session, you can get some serious face-time with cute, cuddly doggos and kitties! This could be an opportunity that really ~pays off~. 

Pet Sitter

Clearly, someone (or even multiple someones) has told you that you have a great eye! Why not use it snap your way to some extra money? There are sooo many ways you can earn as a photographer. You can snap shots of food, travel destinations, weddings, families, pets, and more — if people want a well-taken photo of it, you can probably get paid to do it. So what are you waiting for?! Dust off that DSLR and start building your portfolio! 

Photographer

You've got the kind of eye for design that a lot of people don't have. You just _know_ what fonts and styles pair together as well as wine and cheese — it's almost common sense to you. Logos are everywhere — on blogs, t-shirts, online businesses, in-person businesses, and more. Now, you can help people create a brand that looks exactly how they envisioned it. 

Logo Designer

You obviously got A's in every foreign language class you've ever taken. Or maybe that one year studying abroad did wonders for expanding your new language skills. Either way, it's all about to pay off. Some professionals — like publishers, brand owners, bloggers, and more — want to make their content more accessible to those who speak other languages. That's where you might come in! Turns out, learning conjugations might not have been so bad after all.
