5 Easy Side Hustles for SG Uni Students😍

We all know life in uni can be pretty stressful, and adding a side job can seem overwhelming. But what if there are ways to make extra cash without burning out? 😎 Here are 5 low-effort side hustles that are perfect for Singaporean uni students—you can earn some decent money and still keep your brain power for those essays and exams!

1. Tutoring Singapore Students 📚If you're good at explaining concepts or excel in a subject (hello A-math, GP, or Chinese!), why not become a tutor? Many Singaporean students are looking for help with their PSLE, O-Level, or A-Level exams. You can set your own schedule and even choose whether you prefer online sessions or face-to-face meetups at a nearby café.

Pro Tip: There are ways to get tutoring clients fast without all the hassle of self-promotion. Some platforms help you connect with students more easily!

2. Pet Sitting or Dog Walking in Your HDB Estate 🐾Love animals but don’t have time for a pet of your own? Apps like Pawshake and PetBacker let you sign up as a pet sitter or dog walker. Many Singaporeans need someone to look after their fur babies when they’re at work or on holiday. Walking dogs around your HDB estate is a great way to earn and enjoy a bit of exercise too! 🐶

Bonus: Since it’s mostly flexible, you can walk dogs or pet-sit between classes or during weekends.

3. Freelance Design or Writing for Local SMEs 🎨Got a knack for graphic design or copywriting? Many small businesses in Singapore need help with simple design work or social media posts. Whether it's creating IG templates or writing blog posts, you can use platforms like Fiverr or SG Freelancers. It’s a good way to earn on the side without taking up too much time.

4. Paid Surveys on Singapore Platforms 📊It’s as easy as answering a few questions. Websites like Toluna and Milieu offer rewards for filling out surveys, and you can do them during your commute on the MRT or while chilling at home. The pay isn’t huge, but hey, you don’t need to lift a finger much. Perfect for a laid-back side hustle!

Top Tip: Stack up those rewards on local survey platforms and cash them out for vouchers or PayNow transfers.

5. Sell Your Preloved Items on Carousell 🛍️Got old clothes, books, or gadgets lying around your hall or room at home? Instead of letting them collect dust, list them on Carousell. Singaporeans love a good deal, and you can make quick cash from your preloved items. Plus, it’s a super easy way to clear out space!

Bonus Tip: Look out for Carousell's promotions like free listings for certain categories—they’re perfect for maximising your reach!
