Having a side gig where you can start earning extra cash is a good way to be financially independent. Millennials, however, are more business minded that the generation they followed.
If you don’t have money or resources to start a business, you may want to consider doing side gigs first. This is to help you save up for your business idea.

Here are some side gig ideas for Filipino Millennials.
1. Uber / Grab
Ridesharing is now popular. While some people use these platforms to earn full-time, you can opt to do it during your free time. All you need is a car that fits their requirement. What’s good about this is that you only have to register with Grab and Uber and then you’re all set because of their smartphone apps.
