Making money is necessary for everyone, especially if they live abroad and have to financially support themselves. However, often times it is challenging to work by a fixed schedule and commute to work. This is especially difficult to do for students who study in Korea and want to earn some extra money. Becoming a freelancer is a great solution for this. Freelance jobs are suitable not only for students, however, but also employees who would love to earn additional money besides their fixed salary. Anyone, actually, can be a freelancer in Korea, and this article shares freelance job ideas foreigners residing in Korea can do provided that they possess certain skills. Without further ado, let’s discuss this topic.
1.
Online teaching.

fluent in English or in Korean, why not leverage this skill? There are many
people who would like to study English or Korean, and you can provide this
value. If you do not have a teaching experience, you can check out some YouTube
videos about teaching and start. As you teach, you will gain more experience
and become more professional. If you are advanced in Korean, you can promote it
in your country. People living in your country and interested in Korean
language will willingly choose you at least because you live in Korea. This is
a wonderful chance for them to learn the language from someone who is in actual
Korean environment, and become closer to Korea. In case of English, you could
teach not only people from your country, but also Korean people who want to
improve their English.
2.
Content creating.
There is a
plethora of opportunities to earn some extra money for content creators in
Korea. You can create content on Instagram, TikTok or Youtube, because for each
of them, Korea has benefits. Creating content on two or all three social media
platforms will even increase benefits. You can be an individual content
creator, work with influencer organization or do both. Being active on social
media opens doors for multiple collaboration with different brands and
companies. Although on the first stages individual collaborations can be
non-paid, but instead getting some products or service, then, as your account
and content improve, you can do paid collaborations. If you collaborate with
certain organizations long-term, most probably you will get paid for each piece
of content. Content creating is a wonderful freelance work as it is very fun
and engaging, and you get to know many interesting people, besides earning
money.
3.
Modelling.
Foreigner
modelling is quite popular in Korea. How to start modelling as a foreigner in
Korea? First, you need to have an open Instagram account with nice pictures of
yours. Second, use the right hashtags so that photographers and brands find
you. Some of these hashtags are
#사진촬영 #촬영문의 #외국인모델
and many others. Third, organize your Instagram account to make it look
pleasing. To get some more ideas about it find foreign models in Korea and pay
attention to how they organize their posts and hashtags. Finally, follow some
foreign models, photographers and beauty brands in Korea in order to make it
easy for them to find you. If first times you get a non-paid photoshoot offer
from Korean photographers, do not reject it. You still do not have your
portfolio and high-quality pictures, therefore, it is unlikely that you are
invited to paid modelling. However, if you agree for some free photoshoots and
create your portfolio and model Instagram, your chances to paid collaborations
will increase. Even though, this kind of job is more popular among women, men
can also earn by doing modelling.
