Yobi’s Ultimate Guide to Side Hustles Using Skills You Already Have

BPO life is no joke.
Gising sa gabi, tulog sa araw, kulang pa rin minsan ang sweldo sa dami ng bayarin. Kaya kahit may stable na trabaho ka na, tanong mo pa rin sa sarili mo: “Paano ako makaka-extra kita kahit pagod na sa shift?”

Bestie, kung ikaw ’yan—don’t worry. Yobi is here with tough love, practical tips, and a little budol para matulungan kang magdagdag kita… na hindi ka mababaliw.

Simulan sa sarili: Gaano ka pa ka-available?

Bakit ito mahalaga:
Hindi lahat ng side hustle ay bagay sa lahat ng schedule. Sa BPO, hindi mo na hawak ang shifts—so dapat, ang extra kita mo ay pasok sa routine mo, hindi siya dagdag sakit ng ulo.

Yobi’s Tip:
Track mo muna ang week mo. May dalawang oras ka ba before or after shift? Kamusta ang rest days mo?
Once alam mo na ‘yan, pwede ka na mamili kung anong klase ng extra income ang swak sa energy mo.

Wait—hindi ba dapat side hustle ’to?
Exactly. Pero minsan, the smartest way to earn more is… to jump to a better-paying job.

Instead of juggling 2 jobs, what if your one job gave you more?
Think:

Signing Bonus up to 150K
Free Meals or Shuttle
Day 1 HMO
14th Month Pay
Day Shift or Hybrid Roles

That’s not a fantasy, beshie. Those jobs exist—dito mismo sa Jobyoda.

Start with these job categories:

Yobi’s Story:
May agent kami before sa Makati, night shift siya, 20K ang take-home. Lipat siya via Jobyoda to a company with 26K base + free shuttle + HMO from Day 1. Ang ending? Mas mataas na agad kita, kahit isang trabaho lang!

Gumamit ng Jobyoda filters to find side-friendly roles

Hindi mo kailangan maghanap sa ibang platforms. Jobyoda has filters built for your lifestyle.

Gusto mo ng trabaho na pang-weekend lang?
Hanap ka sa Part-Time or Flexible Roles.
WFH para tipid sa pamasahe?
Use the Work-from-Home category.
Day Shift for more evening sideline?
Check out Day Shift Jobs.

Pro tip ni Yobi:
Gamitin mo rin ang “Nearby Jobs” filter para di ka na gumastos sa pamasahe. ‘Yung natipid mo? Side income na rin ’yan.

Offer your services using skills from your BPO job

Hindi mo kailangan maging influencer para magka-extra kita.
Think about it:

Marunong ka sa tools like Zendesk, CRM, Microsoft Office?
Magaling ka makipag-usap, even with irate customers?
Marunong kang mag-encode, mag-email professionally, or gumawa ng reports?

Ang dami mong transferable skills, besh. Pwede kang mag-part-time:

Data entry
Resume writing (lalo na for fellow BPO aspirants)
Virtual admin tasks
Coaching mock interviews (yes, may market for this!)

Yobi’s Tip:
Kung gusto mo ng idea paano gawin ’to, basahin mo ’tong related articles:

Sell to your fellow agents

You don’t need to build a shop.
You just need to know your audience—and they’re literally beside you sa floor!

Hot-selling items in BPO workplaces:

Instant coffee or energy drinks (hello night shift!)
Preloved gadgets
Self-care items (essential oils, massagers, etc.)
Easy-to-eat baon like cookies, chicken poppers, or bottled meals

Benta ni Yobi:
Nagbenta ako before ng facial mists and colognes sa pantry. At first, 1 order per week lang. But after payday? Sold out! One officemate even said, “Mas gusto ko pa ’tong binili ko kaysa sa sahod ko.” Hala siya.

Take advantage of your rest days… wisely

Real talk:
Kung tulog ka ng buong rest day mo, wala kang ma-aachieve. Pero kung puyat ka pa rin buong rest day mo, mapapagod ka lang.

Balance is key.
Use 3 hours of your day-off to:

Update your Jobyoda profile
Review better job matches
Try small rakets like listing pre-loved items online
Help a friend with mock interviews or resume editing (for a fee!)

Yobi’s Final Take: Don’t let your job box you in

Hindi porket BPO ka, ayun na 'yun.
You’re smart, madiskarte, and resilient. You handle clients, tools, reports, and toxic callers—so believe me, kaya mong mag-extra kita kung gugustuhin mo.

But never forget:
Extra income should never cost your peace.
Kung masakit na ulo mo, if hindi mo na kilala sarili mo sa sobrang pagod—pause ka muna.
Then open the Jobyoda App.
Your next opportunity might just be a better job, not a second one.
