What sideline is suitable for office workers?

I am born after 90. I have a casual job as a civil servant, working as an art teacher in extracurricular training classes from Monday to Friday and on weekends. At the same time, I also have an online part-time job of PPT template design, which can be said to be a standard slash youth.

As for why I choose to do part-time and sideline work, I actually want to force myself to create unlimited value with limited time. To put it bluntly, I just want to earn more money and live a better life. Often communicate with friends around you how to increase income, improve living standards and make money. You really need to open your mind and find out your strengths, values or interests. Everyone's time is the same, but how much benefit can be produced depends on their own choice. There are people who work part-time as baking workshops, who go to hosting schools on weekends, and who operate official WeChat accounts. Everyone plans his time reasonably within his acceptable working range.

My first sideline job was as an art training teacher.

I majored in fine arts in college, but I have been engaged in jobs unrelated to my major since graduation, such as administrative assistant, event planning and so on. Art teacher became my first "sideline", which kept me from abandoning my professional knowledge, enriched my spare time and brought me a good income.

At first, my friend introduced me to a temporary class in an art training institution. I graduated from art major and have a teacher qualification certificate, which meets the requirements of the school. I prepared an art-related resume and portfolio (A4 print), so I embarked on the road of art part-time, and it has been almost 8 years now. There are not many classes on weekends. The work and rest time is from Saturday morning 10 to 4: 00 pm, and from 8: 00 am to 3: 30 pm on Sunday. You can take care of both rest and work, and you won't be very tired, and you won't delay the party and dinner. I am only responsible for the teaching process, and I am not involved in other school work. I just don't feel very tired in class. I am more patient with children and enjoy the teaching process. Appreciating the moment when students take pictures after finishing their works can bring me great satisfaction. Being engaged in the education industry can also bring you a positive label. The full-time art teachers in training institutions, in addition to teaching, will also participate in enrollment and publicity, which, like other jobs, will be more complicated and prone to burnout and irritability. If you are interested in the part-time job of an art teacher, you can reasonably consider whether it is suitable for you according to your own situation.

The epidemic awakened my sense of crisis, so I started the PPT template design for the second sideline.

When the epidemic first struck in 2020, I spent more time at home and began to feel a sense of crisis. I think if I have more income, I will have more ability to resist risks. See a blogger sharing PPT template design. After self-evaluation, I think it is feasible, so let's start.

I think you need to complete the "self-assessment" before you want to do anything.

Analyze your existing conditions and the cost you can spend. For PPT template design, my existing conditions are "have time" and "can do PPT"; The consumable cost is "owning a computer". In April 2020, he was registered as the exclusive contracted designer of docer Rice Shell (the exclusive share is higher, and the non-exclusive can be placed on other platform websites). At that time, the registration conditions were more relaxed than now, and I could choose a professional qualification certificate. I completed the registration with a teacher qualification certificate. The later platform has been upgraded and adjusted. Please refer to the latest rules of the platform. The overall threshold is not high, and anyone who can use PPT at work can try it.

Designing PPT is not as difficult as you think.

With regard to the design and production of PPT templates, it is necessary to understand the requirements and attributes of major platforms (Baidu Library, Rice Husk, Qiantu.com, etc.). ) in advance. The originality of PPT and the commercialization of materials are the most important. Regarding the PPT frame format, you can make more reference on the relevant template platforms, summarize the platform review style preferences, and learn excellent typesetting concepts. As for the icon material of commercial pictures, I currently use "pixabay" the most. The advantage is that its materials are free and available on the market, but the disadvantage is that the styles are limited, and some materials need to be re-made, such as matting and cutting. Fonts should also be chosen for free commercial use to avoid subsequent copyright disputes. As for drawing software, the simplest one is Meitu Xiu Xiu computer version.

You can choose PPT template styles that you are good at or interested in, such as work report, education and teaching. The content of the framework is as perfect as possible to facilitate people's use, which is also a service concept. I chose the cartoon style. At present, my template searches for "cute" and "cartoon" keywords on the official homepage, all of which are on the homepage.

About the income situation

I only publish the design on the platform of docer rice husk. Up to now, the accumulated income of only one template has reached more than 10 thousand. On average, the platform will deduct 10% tax every month, and it will be between 1000- 1300 when it arrives, which is about 700 in the off-season. The off-season is during the winter and summer vacations, because my template content is cartoons reported by education and teaching. Although this income is not a sideline, it can be regarded as "once and for all". Do a good job of a template, just wait for it to generate value by itself, and there is no need for post-maintenance management. Check the income balance regularly. If the balance exceeds 500, you can apply for withdrawal. The payment cycle of the platform is long, with an average of one month to one and a half months. It's late, but it won't be late. An extra income can balance the expenses of life, so why not?

Being a PPT template designer is really my luckiest sideline income at present. Safe and reliable, realized by knowledge and ability, does not need to invest too much follow-up energy and time cost, but has certain requirements for its own ability level, but this can be improved through learning. In September, 2020, I published an article about the sideline experience of PPT template designers with lucky excitement, and got a lot of praise and comments. I replied to comments and private letters as much as possible.

I know that many people want to increase their income and improve their quality of life, which is a very positive source of motivation. I hope I don't think about "getting rich overnight" and "getting rich overnight" I want to believe in accumulation and precipitation, believe that one point pays one point, and seven points try to wait for three points of luck. This is my attitude towards life. If you want to do the sideline of PPT template design, you need to collect more materials, make more products and practice more.

I will also find more safe, reliable, reasonable and legal sideline businesses, which can increase my income and enrich my life and wallet, killing two birds with one stone. Come on!
