Hello Grasshoppa,

With the rise of cost of living, many people are struggling or looking for options to earn extra money to sustain their standard of living. In fact, most Malaysians are actually struggling especially for Fresh Grads. Imagine starting to work with your salary & you still have to pay your PTPTN loan.

Many many many many years ago, a single breadwinner in the family are able to feed a family. Today, even a married couple are struggling to sustain themselves & they spend most of their savings paying debts or sustaining their current lifestyle. Is Malaysia an expensive country to live in or is it our spending habits that are causing us to have tight budget?

So What Can You Do To Earn Extra Money?

1. Blogging

There are many other ways for Bloggers to earn money as well. There are no guarantee on how much you can earn but consistency & creating quality content will definitely help you to grow your blog.

2. Teaching Course (Online or Face to Face)
Teaching courses can either be from Traditional Tuition that some of you may have experience by teaching or by being a student. You can always consider becoming a Private Tutor or teaching a group of students if you are an expert in those subjects. You can consider teaching fitness class too. Or if you are unfamiliar with any subject, why not create your own Course & teaching it online via Platform such as Udemy?

3. Be a Grab Driver
This is one of the famous option among Malaysians & some even do it Full Time. I’ve spoken to many Grab drivers before & those full timers are able to earn up to RM8000 a month. As for the part time drivers, some of them are using it fund their car loan repayment.

4. Be an Influencer
