00:00

Speaker A

You work five or even six days a week, and by the 20th, the money is gone again. Asking for a raise is useless.

00:06

Speaker A

Taking on a second job is physically impossible. And everything offered online as a "side hustle" is either surveys for pennies or a $1,000 course that still leaves you wondering what to do next. So let's get down to

00:18

Speaker A

business. Here are eight remote jobs you can do in the evenings and on weekends. For each one, I’ll cover three things: what exactly you'll do, how much open positions pay, and the honest downside that courses keep quiet about. And one question I will ask for

00:33

Speaker A

each of the eight: Who decides when you work? You, or someone else? Because if you only have an hour and a half in the evening, a job that schedules you from 11 PM to 7 AM simply won't work, no

00:44

Speaker A

matter the pay. I consider one of the eight to be the most promising right now, and it's not in IT. You'll see which one as we go. My name is Mark Nikolaev. I started as a sales associate for 40,000. Then I wrote

00:58

Speaker A

articles for an ad agency, was an editor at T-Bank, and editor-in-chief at Gazprombank's management company.

01:03

Speaker A

And guys, let's start with something nice. I’m giving away a Yandex Station and a free spot in my marathon to those who comment. I’ll announce the results on my Telegram channel; the link is in the description. Write when

01:13

Speaker A

you usually watch these videos and how many hours a week you’re willing to dedicate to a side hustle. I really need this. These answers help me understand what to film next and which format you prefer. Okay, that's it for

01:26

Speaker A

the logistics. Let's start breaking down the jobs. First, the easiest entry-level one. Open your phone and look at the channels you’re subscribed to. Besides news and friends, there’s likely a bank, a store, a local coffee shop, an online school, or

01:38

Speaker A

a clinic. Posts go out there every single day. Someone writes them, and it’s not the business owner. The work consists of three things: coming up with topics for the month, writing the copy, and scheduling the posts. And here is the important part: look at

01:52

Speaker A

these posts carefully. A post about a gas discount or coffee shop news about new desserts. It’s not literature; it’s two or three paragraphs in normal, human language. You don't need to be a linguist or a coffee expert either. They pay from 15 rubles per

02:06

Speaker A

post or from 60,000 per month for full-time work. Now for the main question of the video. Who decides when you work? You do entirely; you sit down on Friday evening, write the content for the whole next week, schedule it,

02:17

Speaker A

and the channel runs itself. The client doesn't care at all what time of day you did it. It’s important to him that the post goes out Monday at 10:00 AM. There is one downside, and it’s a fair one: if you send a client text

02:29

Speaker A

straight from an AI, an experienced person will see it immediately and won’t come back a second time.

02:34

Speaker A

Meaning you still have to learn how to distinguish good text from pretty but empty writing. It doesn’t take months of study, but this skill doesn’t come on its own. You will have to sit down and figure it out. The second one is

02:45

Speaker A

what’s most often advised when someone says, "I want remote work." A tester checks that a program works as intended, finds bugs, and describes them to developers. The logic is clear: no coding required, IT salaries are good, and the barrier seems low. Hence

02:59

Speaker A

the queue. Let’s talk about those queues. Over the past year, the number of IT vacancies in the country has dropped by about a third, while resumes have increased by nearly a third. The competition has reached 19 resumes per

03:09

Speaker A

position. That’s the IT average. At the entry level, it's tougher. For entry-level roles, hundreds of applications pour in within the first day, and there are far more positions for experienced specialists than for beginners. I’ll speak carefully about neural networks, because both sides are

03:23

Speaker A

lying here. No one has replaced testers; the profession is alive, and people are getting paid. But neural networks have taken away the bottom rung. Simple checklists, which used to be a beginner's job, are now generated in seconds. In the past, you could stand

03:35

Speaker A

on that rung for six months and learn at the company's expense. Now it's gone, and they expect a higher level from you right away. And who decides when you work? Not you. A tester sits inside the team. Sprints, daily calls,

03:48

Speaker A

developers you have to nudge while the trail is hot and they still remember their code. It’s someone else’s workday that you are attached to. IT is a good direction. I’m not trying to talk you out of it. It’s just a year

03:59

Speaker A

of intensive study and a queue at the door, not something you can start this Tuesday evening and earn your first money a month later. And now is the time to talk about what almost everyone trips over. I get the same messages:

04:13

Speaker A

"Mark, let's say I learn, but who will hire me?" "I have no experience, no portfolio, and no relevant education." I went through this personally. I had eight rejections from Yandex. I made it to the finals at Tinkoff and Beeline

04:25

Speaker A

and still got a "no." When I was finally hired as an editor at Tinkoff, it turned out it wasn't about talent at all, but about how I presented myself in my applications. I recorded a private, free lesson about this. How to

04:37

Speaker A

format a resume without experience, build a portfolio for your first client, find work, and apply so people actually read your response. I also tell my full story with Tinkoff in that lesson. What I did wrong and what I

04:49

Speaker A

changed. The link is in the description. The lesson is free. Claim it now.

04:53

Speaker A

Watch it whenever you have time. The link isn't going anywhere. And we continue analyzing professions. Third — the most well-known remote option involving communication. Marketplaces, banks, delivery, vet clinics; support is needed around the clock, and night shifts usually come with a bonus.

05:06

Speaker A

That’s why it’s recommended for those looking for night work. What do you do? Reply to chats and emails?

05:11

Speaker A

Sometimes take calls, resolve issues using scripts. Restore access, help place an order, find out where a package is. Rates often start from 40,000 for a full shift. Experience is usually not required. The company provides training based on their

05:23

Speaker A

manuals. To grow, you need English at a B2 level. Technical knowledge or expertise in a niche: banking, medicine, e-commerce. The first downside is burnout. You spend your whole shift dealing with other people's problems, and some will be unhappy, rude, or

05:35

Speaker A

outright aggressive. At night, when you're already tired, that hits harder. The second downside. And it relates to our main question. Who decides when you work? The schedule. You are assigned a shift from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM, and

05:47

Speaker A

that is not up for discussion. You can't just work on Wednesday and skip Thursday because your child got sick.

05:54

Speaker A

This isn't freelance; it's regular shift work that you just do from home instead of an office. Fourth, a profession that didn't even exist 3 years ago. An AI trainer teaches neural networks to answer correctly, writes benchmark responses, verifies facts,

06:07

Speaker A

compares two model outputs, and explains which is better and why. Hired by Yandex, Sber, and large IT companies. Official employment, fully remote, paid training before starting. And, importantly for us, you can take part-time hours. It's realistic to

06:19

Speaker A

balance this with a main job. The downsides are honest. The ceiling is around 125,000, and it hardly grows after that. This isn't a situation where you double your income in a year.

06:29

Speaker A

And the work is monotonous at times; proofreading other people's answers for hours is tedious. But the most curious part is hidden in the requirements.

06:35

Speaker A

Open such a vacancy and see who they are looking for. They are looking for people with experience in copywriting, editing, journalism, or content management. Stop for a second and think about what that means. The largest tech companies are hiring people to teach

06:46

Speaker A

artificial intelligence, and they aren't hiring programmers, but those who know how to write. Because

06:52

Speaker A

Formulating with words what a correct answer should look like. Keep this thought in mind; we'll need it now. The next profession grows exactly from this , and it is by no means a coincidence.

07:03

Speaker A

Fifth, the one I consider the most promising. And let's immediately clear that image from your mind. It's not about a newspaper or a magazine. You don't need a literature degree, a fancy diploma, or 10 years in a newsroom. An

07:14

Speaker A

AI-powered editor creates business content using artificial intelligence, but they don't just copy-paste what the chat outputs to the client. They understand what the text needs to be and how to give the AI the right prompts. And most importantly, they

07:26

Speaker A

refine the result until the text actually works. Remember the coffee shop post from the first profession? An AI will write it beautifully but emptily, without a goal, specifics, or an understanding of the audience.

07:36

Speaker A

Turning that into effective, working text—that is the profession. The difference is clear immediately. " Individual approach and high level of comfort." That description fits every single company in the country. That is what they pay for. And here are the

07:47

Speaker A

public rates, so it doesn't look like just my personal story. And now to our question. Who decides when you work?

07:54

Speaker A

Only you. There is a task and there is a deadline. Everything in between is your own business. No shifts, no 9:00 AM calls, no equipment needed. Just a laptop and your brain. Here’s another number to understand the scale. It used

08:06

Speaker A

to take me about four hours to write one article. I’d write them on the train when traveling to Krasnodar. Now, it takes me an hour and a half to write the same one. This means you can realistically finish a full piece in

08:16

Speaker A

one evening after work, instead of dragging it out for a week. I’ll tell you an honest truth, without which all this remains just theory. Between " watching a YouTube video" and "getting paid for writing," there is a step that

08:26

Speaker A

doesn’t happen on its own. Practice with feedback, when a real human editor reads your text and says: "This part is strong, but this is filler." And here is why. Without it, you can write for months and never understand why your

08:37

Speaker A

work isn't getting picked up. That is exactly why I created a five-day copywriting marathon with AI. It’s a test drive for the profession, so you don't jump into a long, expensive course immediately, but can try it out to see if it’s for you. In 5 days,

08:50

Speaker A

you'll cover the basics, write your first texts, learn to work with AI, and get edits from working Gazprombank editors. The format is simple: a text lesson every day, homework, and a group chat where you can ask any question. I

09:02

Speaker A

won't promise that it will be easy. Copywriting is work, but it's work without a fixed schedule. Whether it's at night, at lunch, or from another city. When I started, I worked behind a counter and made 40,000. Then I joined

09:15

Speaker A

an ad agency, started writing articles, and reached 90,000–120,000 a month. Later, I was an editor at Tinkoff, then editor-in-chief at Gazprombank. And I would have given a lot to have had one such week at the start of my journey

09:28

Speaker A

instead of months of learning the hard way. We are taking a limited number of spots so that the curators have time to check everyone's homework. The link and the next start date are in the description. Let’s continue. Three

09:38

Speaker A

professions left. The sixth one. A job that few people know about. Banks have special services for VIP clients, airport business lounges, wealth management, private events, and concierge services. The concierge solves everyday tasks for the client: ordering flowers, getting concert

09:52

Speaker A

tickets, finding a nutritionist, arranging transfers; they take requests via chat and phone, find solutions through partners, and see the task through to the end. They work around the clock; the service must be available at all times. I found a

10:03

Speaker A

vacancy at T-Bank starting from 95,000. thousand. Now for the downsides. Fluent English is mandatory, no exceptions.

10:09

Speaker A

This filters out the majority immediately. You need to be well-traveled or cultured. You must understand why one hotel is better than another and where to take someone for dinner. And nerves of steel. Requests from VIP clients at 3:00 AM can be very

10:20

Speaker A

specific. Who decides when you work? Again, not you. There are shifts here too. At the same time, the work is lively and interesting in its own way.

10:27

Speaker A

You definitely won’t be bored. It’s just that the barrier to entry is high, and you need to understand that in advance. The seventh and perhaps the most underrated, after editors. Most people think a screenwriter writes movies, but not just that. Today, a

10:37

Speaker A

screenwriter is someone who writes text for YouTube videos, Reels, podcasts, and educational videos. The very text that the speaker then says on camera.

10:45

Speaker A

The system is simple: there is a blogger, an expert, or a company. They want to film, but they can't or don't want to write it themselves. They hire a screenwriter; the screenwriter dives into the topic, builds the structure,

10:55

Speaker A

and writes the final script from the first word to the last. By the way, you are watching the result of such work right now. You've watched until the thirteenth minute, which means the script works. They pay from 5,000 to

11:04

Speaker A

12,000 for a 10-15 minute script. A series of short ones for Reels pays from 500 to 1,000 each. They usually order 30 at a time. A permanent channel screenwriter makes up to 60,000 per month. A 15-minute script used to take

11:16

Speaker A

about 6 hours; now it takes half that time. AI handles the research and the draft, but it doesn't know how to retain the viewer. It doesn't understand that a person can close the video at any second, so every minute

11:27

Speaker A

must provide value. The screenwriter sets the hooks, the intrigue, and the structure. That is what they pay for.

11:31

Speaker A

Who decides when to work? You do. There is a filming deadline; everything else is up to you. A small downside: you'll have to get into the topic of the channel. You're writing for an investment channel. Understand investments at least at a

11:42

Speaker A

conversational level. With AI, that's a one-evening task. And lastly. It's recommended almost as often as a tester , so let's break it down in detail. An enormous amount of content is being filmed: YouTube, VK, Telegram, Reels for business. All of this needs to be

11:54

Speaker A

edited. A video editor takes raw footage, interviews, lectures, or phone shots and makes a finished video. They cut pauses, add music, subtitles, and graphics. Here’s the pay: 500 to 1,000 for a short. A 10–15 minute video pays from 5,000 to 15,000.

12:08

Speaker A

Managing a brand's video content consistently brings 40,000 to 80,000 per month. You can start with a phone.

12:14

Speaker A

CapCut makes decent Reels, but you’ll hit a wall later. Serious projects require a powerful computer. A second monitor and a proper video editor are recommended—that’s real money, and you have to spend it before your first order. The second thing is time.

12:26

Speaker A

Editing is mastered through practice. And for the first 3–6 months, you’ll work slowly. A single video can take a whole day. Imagine that in your evening schedule. You sit down at 8:00 PM, it's 1:00 AM, the video isn't

12:37

Speaker A

ready, and you have work at 7:00 AM. You can last a couple of weeks like that, but half a year is tough. And the third thing, which almost no one mentions. Simple cutting of long videos into short ones is now done by AI

12:47

Speaker A

services in 3 minutes. Meaning the most common and simplest part of an editor's job has become cheaper. Now they pay for complexity: rhythm, dynamics, and graphics. And that is exactly what comes with experience, which a beginner lacks. Regarding our question, editing

13:00

Speaker A

is actually not bad. You choose your own hours. It’s just that entering the profession is more expensive and time-consuming than it seems from the outside. And that’s worth considering in advance. Eight professions. Let’s group them by one single question: who

13:13

Speaker A

decides when you work? In support and concierge services, the schedule decides. You are assigned a shift. For a tester, the team decides. You are inside someone else’s workday. In editing, you decide. But first, invest in equipment and spend half a year

13:25

Speaker A

working on speed. And three professions where you and only you decide. And zero investment. Content manager, editor with neural networks, screenwriter.

13:32

Speaker A

There is a task and a deadline; the rest is your business. And the most interesting thing is that even AI, the most technical position on the list, looks for people who know how to write.

13:40

Speaker A

I’m not claiming that writing is the only right option. I’m saying that if you have an hour or so in the evening and no one needs to approve those ninety minutes, the list narrows down on its own. Want to try? The link to
