Side Hustles That Actually Make Money
1. Game companionship on Xianyu. You list your services and earn 7–15 RMB per session—girls tend to find it easier. But some guys have other intentions, and Xianyu frequently takes down these listings, so it’s not sustainable.
2. Emotional counseling/listening on Xianyu. You’re just a shoulder to cry on, but you’ll inevitably hear twisted perspectives and disturbing stories. The platform cracks down on this too, and some customers aren’t looking for genuine support.
3. Campus errands (delivering food, picking up packages). Around 3–10 RMB per task—easily 1,500–5,000 RMB a month.
4. Skipping class for someone else. Usually a 2-hour slot, 20–50 RMB per session.
5. Writing assignments for others. Simple tasks run a few dozen RMB; term papers go for a few hundred.
6. Tutoring. Typically 50–80 RMB for a three-hour session.
