Additionally, it offers “unlimited work,” so there’s never a shortage of income opportunities, per a recent video from TikToker and personal finance expert Tori (@torihughes2871).
“I do it part-time to pay for trips/travel/fun,” Tori explained.
So, what is the gig?
Tori advised customers to check out Data Annotation Tech for more information in her clip.

Data annotators help machines, in this case artificial intelligence, label outcomes you want the AI to predict moving forward.
AI will then learn aspects of different data sets, whether that’s pictures, videos, text, etc.
For example, if you wanted to help AI learn about different types of dog breeds, you’d create a dataset of images with labels for the different breeds to help it learn and differentiate.
You effectively act as a teacher to the AI.
REQUIREMENTS
Data Annotation Tech works as a platform to connect freelancers to jobs that help train AI.
This could include “survey-style work, interacting with chatbots, creative writing tasks,” and more, per its website.
Additionally, no extensive background experience is necessary in any specific area.
However, Data Annotation Tech prefers those with “excellent writing and critical reasoning abilities” who are “detail-oriented, creative, and self-motivated.”
To apply, those interested can head to Data Annotation Tech’s website.
Some who completed the process already warned in the comments on Tori’s video that the application process could be lengthy.
Side hustles and tax implications
Extra income you make from side hustles may need to be reported to the IRS.
If you receive more than $600 in gross payouts from a selling platform like eBay, the site will issue you a Form 1099-K to use in your tax return.
Individuals should calculate their adjusted gross income, taxable earnings, and deductions for the year.
Once they have that, they can use the 1040-ES form to calculate estimated taxes.
Data Annotation Tech doesn’t accept everyone and sometimes takes a few days to a few weeks to review candidates before approval.
WRITER’S WORLD
There are still some other remote writing-based side hustles that pay well if data annotation sounds like the wrong fit.
A copywriter said their unique gig pays them between $900 and $3,000 each month.
Another savvy writer makes $700 a day transcribing audio clips.
Those active on LinkedIn can even make $3,000 monthly with a “lazy” writing gig that takes just five steps to start.
It’s even possible to make around $192 per hour with a special freelance writing opportunity.
