Let’s be real, momsh — ang saya ng feeling kapag ang sweldo mo in dollars! 💵 Kahit maliit lang sa simula, kapag kinonvert mo sa pesos, parang may magic. And the best part? Hindi mo na kailangan mag-abroad para kumita in USD. Thanks to the internet, ang dami nang legit online side hustles na pwede mong gawin right from your kitchen table (o kahit sa kama habang naka-pajamas ka pa).
Here are some tried-and-tested side hustles that pay in dollars, perfect for busy moms like us:
1. Freelance Writing
Kung mahilig ka magkwento, gumawa ng blog, or magsulat ng articles, freelancing could be your thing. Websites like Upwork, Fiverr, and ProBlogger offer projects from clients abroad.
Tip: Create a portfolio (kahit Google Docs lang) para may sample work ka. Rates can start at $5/article, pero once you have happy clients, pwede yang maging $50 or more.
2. Virtual Assistance
Virtual Assistants (VAs) are like the right-hand woman of entrepreneurs abroad. Pwedeng email management, calendar scheduling, or social media posting.
Platforms to Check: OnlineJobs.ph, Upwork, Belay.
Why it’s great: Flexible hours, and VA rates in USD can go from $4/hour to $15/hour or higher!
3. Online Tutoring (English or Skills You Know)
If you can speak English fluently, maraming students abroad willing to pay for lessons. May mga platform din for math, art, or even music lessons.
Best Sites: Cambly, Preply, AmazingTalker.
Bonus: Cambly doesn’t require a teaching certificate — perfect for newbies!
4. Selling Digital Products
Kung creative ka, you can make printables, planners, templates, or even simple e-books and sell them on Etsy or Gumroad.
Why it’s in USD: Most customers are from the US, so your earnings will be too. Plus, it’s passive income once set up.
5. Content Creation on YouTube or TikTok
Yes, content creation can pay in USD! YouTube’s AdSense and brand deals from US companies can give you dollar income.
Tip: Find your niche — parenting tips, recipes, DIY crafts — and be consistent.
Final Momsh Tip:
When earning in USD, make sure to use a PayPal, Payoneer, or Wise account to receive payments safely. At pag dumating na yung bayad, i-convert mo lang sa pesos — instant kilig! 😍
You don’t need to leave your family or your home to earn extra. A few hours a week + the right side hustle = more financial breathing room (and maybe an extra milk tea or two).
