I’ve checked a lot of posts, but many don’t apply since I’m in Zimbabwe where we use USD mostly.
I’m a university student with a laptop and two cell phones, but I don’t have PayPal or other common options for sending or receiving money. It’s tough to set up accounts here.
I’m decent at math and considered tutoring, but I’ve signed up for many tutoring apps and can’t find students unless I pay to get noticed.
I tried surveys but learned that I don’t have the required app, and I can’t even download it. I thought about affiliate marketing and trading but they just don’t fit for me. It’s frustrating, and I simply want a little side hustle to make some cash.

I make about $20 a day just by taking online surveys
What sites or apps do you use for that?
I use Focusgroup.com, Swagbucks, and Surveys on the Go. I also joined some online communities that post weekly surveys on specific topics. I’m in about 8 of them and make around $500 a month. The big earners are the Zoom focus groups, where I’ve made over $1000 a month several times.

How do they pay out?
I made the most with Qmee since I used it as my main site for 3 years. This year, I’ve been doing best with Focusgroup.com. They pay well, but it takes about a month after you request it before getting your money.
If you can find a nicer neighborhood, dress nicely and offer window cleaning services. The cost of supplies is low, and you can charge $15 per window for easy cash.

In areas with many tourists, you could offer to take pictures for people using their own phones for a fee.
You could explore options like cleaning, personal assistant work, or freelance writing.
If you can sell online, find small items that represent your community, create a story about them, and build a persona for your selling account. Perhaps you’re a hardworking individual aiming to help your grandmother, or a couple trying to save for a market stall.
Understand what people want and make it simple for them to get it. They value convenience without feeling lazy.

I live in Zimbabwe. A lot of these ideas are great, but teachers make about $200 here and most people don’t have a dollar to spare. That’s why I’m reaching out for help.
I’ve tried a lot of these options, but nobody seems to be interested or has the money for them.

Can you sell through Etsy in your location? Handmade items like jewelry in Zimbabwe style promoted as supporting your community could sell well to folks abroad. It may take some time to enhance your profile, but it could be a chance to earn as long as your craft materials are inexpensive.
