Hey guys.

I'm a 20yo college student looking to make around 7-8k a month to cover my basic hostel and personal expenses without having to ask my parents for money every time I need something.

I can dedicate around 10-15 hours a week and have some basic skills in Canva (YouTube thumbnails, social media banners, posters, etc.), content writing, content creation, and general digital tasks like data entry and web research.

I've been looking into online side hustles, but honestly, most things I come across are either survey websites that pay peanuts for hours of work, Telegram data entry scams asking for registration fees, or some random crypto/MLM scheme. Definitely not interested in those.

Would cold dming small creators and businesses for thumbnail/design work or content creation be a good starting point?…
