Online learning has been gaining popularity in the last several years. Not only can you take advantage as a student, but there are growing opportunities to teach online and earn a nice income from home.

One such company providing teaching opportunities is VIPKID. This company, based in Beijing, China, hires teachers from the United States and Canada to teach English to Chinese children online.

The company currently boasts over 30,000 teachers and more than 200,000 students.

A friend of mine had a brilliant idea.

They have an hour-long commute to and from work each day. (Yikes!) He thought it might be worth his time to offer to carpool with people who are heading in the same general direction and earn a few extra bucks in the process.

At the very least, he could earn enough to pay for his gas.

What do you get when you mix a smartphone with a car?

An amazing opportunity to start making money with ease! Get paid to drive your car.

I can’t think of a time when it’s been easier to find a side gig and bring in extra money with little qualifications and the flexibility to work whenever you want. You can start earning great money within a week.

Let’s check out some of the top companies that you can potentially get started with this week.

Unless you live under a rock, you’ve at least heard of Uber, and maybe also their closest competitor Lyft.

If you’re unfamiliar with Uber or Lyft, these are basically taxi services to give rides in your local area. All the drivers are independent and work their own hours. Simply login to the app provided by Uber or Lyft and start picking up people and giving them a ride.

To give you an overview of what it’s like to be a driver, I had my husband (and behind the scenes partner here at Savvy Savers Academy) Nate answer some questions, as he has driven for both companies.
