Whether you're a recent college graduate looking for a creative way to pay down those looming school loans or a career woman hoping to set aside a little something extra for an emergency—or, heck, a beach getaway—you may be considering a side hustle. But working part-time doesn't have to be behind a bar. Some side hustles, according to a recent analysis, even pay double the federal minimum wage.
FlexJobs recently reviewed the flexible job listings on its site to isolate those with part-time hours from home or in an office and pay at least double the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. Here, according to the site's analysis, are the top 10 highest paying side hustles you could snag:
1. City Guide Writer These wordsmiths could rake in $50 to $100 a project, FlexJobs reports, working for travel and tourism businesses as well as real-estate companies, who turn to writers to write city or neighborhood guides.
2. Online Researcher For up to $37 an hour, online researchers support other business professionals by finding high-quality answers to their questions—which means sleuthing and Internet skills are a must.
3. Sign-Language Interpreter If you speak sign language—and have a license to do so—you could earn up to $36.50 an hour on the side translating for those who don't.
4. Web Designer You can create graphic design elements and update and manage websites for $32 an hour, according to FlexJobs. But more than just design savvy, the site says, you'll need excellent client-relations skills to make this side hustle a success.
5. Software Developer According to FlexJobs, software developing jobs are very in-demand. For up to $30 an hour, you could do anything from update websites to create an app.
6. Nonprofit Charity Fundraiser If you're passionate about supporting nonprofits, this could be the perfect side hustle for you—and it doesn't hurt that it pays up to $30 an hour, according to FlexJobs.
7. Online Communications Associate Update web content, manage social media accounts, provide system administration, and create reports for up to $25 an hour, FlexJobs says.
8. Video Reviewer Not quite as cool as its title makes it sound, but not too shabby either: video reviewers are certified teachers who watch videos of teachers in the classroom to assess their performance—and they do it for $25 an hour.
9. Social Media Assistant You can put your social media skills to better use than just posting selfies. For up to $21 an hour, FlexJobs says, you can work part time managing and marketing on social media channels.
10. Merchandise Coordinator You'll need a little merchandising experience to make about $21 an hour in this side hustle, in which you'll support a merchandising team by maintaining and updating information such as reports and samples, FlexJobs says.
