Easy jobs to make money with apps in South Africa

It might sound too good to be true, but it really is possible to make money with apps in South Africa. Making some extra cash is a great way to supplement your salary to help make ends meet. Whether you are looking for part-time, full-time, or flexible work, finding work through an app can provide you with the opportunity you are looking for. Appjobs brings to the table a variety of side hustles which provide legitimate ways of making money with apps in South Africa. For many of these app jobs, experience is not a necessity.

Online jobs

It’s a myth that having a degree is the only way you can earn an income. The majority of the South African population is skeptical of online jobs and tend to stick with fully certifiable jobs instead for several key reasons; stability and legitimacy. However, if you search through sites like Appjobs for work, then you can find different jobs to suit your different skill sets or offer more flexible hours of work. There is a wide variety of online jobs where you can earn a supplemental income such as online survey taking or part-time earnings from online teaching to full-time jobs through freelancing platforms.
