Doing business today has become a lot more 
challenging than it was in the 20th century.

The competition has risen to new levels, causing 
a lot of uncertainty among business owners.

In order to fight this situation and keep 
business risk minimal, companies have shifted 
their focus towards curtailing fixed costs. One 
way of doing this is hiring freelancers in place of full-time employees.

This practice saves a lot of time and cost that 
would have been spent on the initial training of newly hired employees.

At the same time, it provides freelancers with 
opportunities. So if you’re looking for a 
secondary source of income, freelancing can be the best option.

Here are top skills that you can learn and make extra cash in your free time.

1. Content writing

For every word written online or offline, there’s 
someone sitting in front of his computer and bleeding his heart out.

With hundreds of thousands of websites, numerous 
newspapers, blogs, and magazines out there, 
imagine the kind of opportunities you have as a content writer.

Just polish your writing skills, improve your 
grammar and learn how to write content that sells.

An average freelance writer in India earns around 
Rs 1.8 lakh annually, but this figure can go 10 
to 15 times higher for those who know their way around with words.

2. Graphic designing

Just like content writing, graphic designing is 
another freelance skill in demand.

Many digital marketing companies, blogs, 
newspapers and magazines are on the constant 
lookout for talented graphic designers who can 
design beautiful graphics in minimum time.

All you need to do is learn Photoshop and other 
relevant software to cash in the opportunities available in this field.

3. Blogging

Either you can start a blog or associate with 
someone else as a blogger and make money.

There are different niches like technology, 
internet marketing, fashion, travel, 
entertainment and personal finance that you can 
learn about and explore as per your interests.

As far as earnings are concerned, the sky is the limit.

You can make more than millions per year, and I 
know many bloggers who make this much money every month.

4. Social media marketing

Over the past decade, sites like Twitter, 
LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and 
Reddit have emerged as major social media platforms.

Businesses want to interact with potential 
customers at these social media sites, and for 
this they need experts. That's where a social 
media marketer can leverage his skills, help 
brands increase user engagement and make some money in return.

You don't need any technical expertise for this 
role as long as you're able to interact with the audience.

5. Web development

With so many websites up and running, businesses 
need someone to handle the backend process and 
ensure the website doesn't go down or load 
slowly. That's where a web developer comes into the picture.

Web development will help you make a significant 
amount of money by working few hours daily.

6. Voiceover

Got a voice that can catch people's attention? 
From radio advertisements to corporate videos, 
there's a huge demand for VO artists.

Not to mention the pay is very handsome. So, if 
you think you've good communication skills and a 
beautiful voice, try the VO field. It's full of opportunities for youngsters.

7. Search engine optimisation

In order to survive and make money online, 
websites need traffic, and search engines along 
with social media sites, are major sources of that traffic.

They hire freelance SEO experts from time to time 
to rank on the first page of search engines.

Lack of money won't haunt you ever if you can 
master this skill and get good exposure.

8. Translation

If you can read, write and speak more than one 
language, translation field has immense opportunities in store for you.

A good understanding of regional languages and 
foreign languages can help you make decent money 
by taking freelance translation assignments.

9. Executive search specialist

You can help companies find suitable candidates 
for specific roles and make money out of it.

Since you do all the grubwork and keep the 
corporate HRs at peace, they don't mind paying 
you handsome incentives in return.

This field is full of opportunities, so the sky 
is the limit as far as earnings are concerned.

10. App development

Just like website development, app development is 
also a sought-after skill that can make you tons of money every month.

Some of the skills required to be an app 
developer are mobile UI designing, backend 
computing, programming, among others.

With a constant rise in the number of people 
browsing the internet from their smartphones, the 
future of app developers looks pretty bright.

If not a full time career, learning some of these 
skills will help you create additional sources of 
income along with a regular job.
