Hey everyone, I really need some help/advice.
I’m a 19yo girl from Italy and I’m currently attending a course that will last a few more months.
I’m not completely broke, but I want to earn my own money to buy things for myself (clothes, products, maybe just a gelato without feeling guilty lol) and save up for a summer trip. Also, I need a new phone because mine is half-destroyed, even if it still works.
My schedule is pretty crazy…I’m out of the house Mon-Fri from 7:20 am to 7:30 pm. I have 8 hours of class, but the thing is… we don’t always have stuff to do. Some days I have 2 hours free, other days all 8 hours are empty. I usually just watch movies or TikTok, but I want to be productive and monetize this time.
What I’m looking for:
– Something I can do discreetly on my phone (iPhone) while sitting in class.
– No filming, no talking, no “loud” stuff.
– Consistent work. I hate the “one task today and then nothing for two weeks”
I want to avoid one-time projects like Fiverr or things that take months to see a penny (like YouTube, affiliate marketing, dropshipping, etc).
My background/skills:
– Native Italian, fluent in English (I lived in Ireland for a month working as a teacher assistant).
– Studied tourism and currently still studying in that field.
My work experience:
– Animator
– Travel agency (front and back office)
– Event hostess
– Babysitter
– Telegram moderator for a famous creator (but unpaid)
– AI Training: I’ve worked with Appen and Data Annotation (but DA is super slow for bilinguals lately).
– and I’m really good with Canva (presentations, flyers..)
I tried surveys and games but they are a total waste of time, so please don’t suggest those.
I have some ideas but I don’t know how to start or if there are specific platforms for these:
– Translating (English to Italian).
– Chatting with lonely people or people who want to learn Italian.
– Content/Community moderation (Discord, Telegram, social media).
– Virtual Assistant.
– Replying to emails/comments.
– Data entry.
– Calendar management.
– Helping small businesses with Google Business Profiles, newsletters, or scheduling posts.
– Canva design.
Does anyone know any legit platforms or companies that hire for this kind of “recurring” work?
I’m also looking for something stable where I can just log in, do my tasks during my free hours in class, and get paid. Ideally, I need something with a constant and consistent workflow—not just one task today and then nothing for two weeks.
And just to be clear, I live in Italy but I’m perfectly fine working in either English or Italian, it’s the same for me.
Thanks so much for reading and for any help, i really need it!
