The job market today is getting ever more competitive. You need to have a degree, experience, a history of hitting targets and performing to the highest level.

It’s no longer enough to have the right attitude or the right idea to get ahead in your career, now you also need to have a particular set of skills.

Well, usually that’s the case. Now we’ve found an opportunity where you really just need to be bright and creative to succeed.

The opportunity

Online platform Squadhelp.com is an open crowdsourcing platform where you can help impact brands by recommending names for businesses. So if you’re good with words, this is perfect. Maybe you can come up with the next “Apple” or “Microsoft”.

A company will put up a brief explaining the type of name they are after, whether they want it to imply a certain style or be funny etc. and you have to come up with a name to match their brief. It’s as simple as that. The company then picks the name they want and the winning entry gets paid.

People are making hundreds, even thousands, of dollars a month by recommending business names to real companies. It’s a really unique and fun way to make money in your spare time. The top earner we spotted was making around $30,000 a month. That’s big money.

One happy user said:

“SH has become a steady source of income for me every single month. But it is a lot more than that. I have really needed to have a creative outlet during some very difficult times. What I was able to do here was to just immediately jump out of the gate and serve both my need for a creative outlet and for additional income.”

What skills do I need?

Well, this is why we love this opportunity. Unlike other freelance opportunities, Squadhelp does not require a technical skill like graphic design, web design, or the likes. All you need is a love of words and a knack for branding.

In fact, it reminds us a little of being back in school and getting a creative task where you have to come up with the name for a business. We loved that kind of thing when we were young and we still love it. Even if you don’t win a contest, you haven’t wasted much time and you’ve had the chance to be a bit creative to boot.
