I am a 90-year-old, Monday to Friday has a free clerical work, two days on the weekend in the extracurricular training courses as an art teacher, while there is also a part-time job online is a PPT template design, can be said to be a standard slash youth.

As for why I chose to do a part-time job as a side hustle, I actually wanted to push myself to use my limited time to create unlimited value, and to put it bluntly, I wanted to make more money and live a better life. I and my friends around me often communicate about how to improve income, improve the standard of living, to earn money this matter, is really to open the mind, find their own strengths, values or interests. Everyone has the same amount of time, but it's up to you to choose how much benefit you can generate. Around me, there are part-time baking studio, part-time weekend custodial school, and WeChat public number, all of them are within the scope of their acceptable work, reasonable planning of their time.

My first part-time job was as an art class teacher

I majored in art in college, but after graduation, I kept working in jobs that had nothing to do with my major, such as administrative assistant, event planner, and so on. Art teacher became my first "side job", it allows me not to lose the professional knowledge I learned, but also fill the free time, bring a good income.

Initially, a friend introduced me to an art training organization, and I graduated with a degree in art and have a teaching certificate, which meets the school's requirements; all I had to do to prepare was to prepare an art-related resume and portfolio (A4 printout), and so I embarked on a part-time job as an art teacher for almost 8 years now. Weekend classes are not too many, the schedule is Saturday 10 am to 4 pm, Sunday 8 am to 3:30 pm, it is perfectly possible to balance the rest and work, not very tired, parties and dinners will not be delayed. I am only responsible for teaching, not involved in other school work content, just class will not feel very hard, I have more patience with small children, but also enjoy the teaching process, enjoy the students to complete the work of the photo moment, can bring me a great sense of satisfaction. Working in the education industry can also bring a positive and active label to oneself. However, as a full-time art teacher in a training institution, you will be involved in recruiting and promoting students in addition to teaching, which is just as tedious and complicated as any other job, and you will easily get burned out and irritated. If you're interested in a part-time job as an art teacher, you can consider whether it's right for you based on your own situation.

The epidemic awakened my sense of crisis, so I started a second side business PPT template design

When the epidemic first struck in 2020, the time spent at home waiting for work became more and more, and I began to feel a sense of crisis, and I thought that if I had one more income, I'd have more resistance to risk. I saw a blogger sharing a PPT template design, and after self-assessment I thought it was somewhat doable, so let's get started on it.

I think you need to do a self-assessment before you do anything

Analyze your existing conditions and the cost you can spend. For PPT template design, my existing conditions are "have time" and "know how to make PPTs"; and my expendable costs are "have a computer". In April 2020, I registered to become the exclusive contracted designer of docer (exclusive share ratio is higher, non-exclusive can be placed on other platforms and websites), at that time, the registration conditions were more relaxed than now, you can choose the professional qualification certificate certification, I used the teacher's qualification certificate to complete the registration. Later, the platform has been upgraded and adjusted, so please take the platform's latest rules as a guide. The overall threshold is not too high, usually work will use PPT people can try.

Designing PPT is actually not as hard as you think

On the PPT template design and production link, you need to understand in advance the requirements and attributes of the major platforms (Baidu Wikipedia, Rice Shell, Chitu.com, etc.), and the originality of the PPT and the commercialization of the material is the most important. On the PPT framework format, you can do more reference in the relevant template platform, summarize the platform audit style preferences, you can learn the excellent layout concept. About the commercial picture icon material, I currently use the most is "pixabay". The advantage is that its materials are free and commercially available, the disadvantage is that the style is limited, some materials need to create their own secondary, such as keying and cropping. Fonts should also choose free commercial, to avoid subsequent copyright disputes. Regarding the mapping software, the simplest use of the computer version of the beauty show can be.

The PPT template style can choose to be good at or interested in, such as work report class, education and teaching. The framework content is as perfect as possible to facilitate the use of the crowd, which is also a service concept. I chose the cartoon style, my template in the official home page search "cute" "cartoon" keywords, are in the front layout.

About income

I only publish my designs on one platform, docer Inasal. Up to now, the accumulated income from just one template has amounted to more than ten thousand dollars. The average monthly platform on behalf of the 10% tax deduction, the account will be between 1000-1300, off-season is about 700. Off-season is the summer and winter vacation period, because my template content is educational teaching report cartoon category. This income, as a side business is not much, but it is "once and for all". Seriously do a good job of a template, just wait for it to produce its own value, do not need later maintenance management. Regularly check the balance of earnings, the platform stipulates that the balance of more than 500 can apply for withdrawal. The platform has a long arrival cycle, an average of one month to one and a half months to make payments, although late, but not less than. An additional income, can balance the expenses of life, why not.

Being a PPT template designer is really the most fortunate side income I've had so far. Safe and reliable, rely on knowledge and ability to realize, do not need to invest too much follow-up energy and time costs, only on their own ability level has certain requirements, but this can be improved through learning.2020 September, in my fortunate and excited mood after the release of a PPT template designers on the side of the experience, got a lot of likes collection comments, I try as far as possible are on the comments and private letters to the replies.

I know there are a lot of people out there who want to increase their income and improve their quality of life, and this is a very positive source of motivation. I hope not to think of "overnight wealth" "overnight success" thing, we must believe in accumulation and precipitation, we must believe that a pay a harvest, with seven points of effort to wait for three points of luck, this is my attitude towards life has always been maintained. If you want to do PPT template design as a side business, you need to collect more materials, more production and more practice.

I will also be looking for more safe, reliable, reasonable and legal side jobs that can increase my income, enrich my life and my wallet at the same time, killing two birds with one stone. Go for it!
