For a lot of people in Toronto, finding extra income isn't really a nice bonus anymore, it feels necessary.
When a night out costs more than expected, a quick grocery shop crosses the $100 mark, and rent takes a huge cut of your paycheque, side hustles start to feel less like a trend and more like survival.
As the cost of living continues to rise, more people are exploring opportunities to earn money online.
And, if you're already posting on Instagram Stories, this one might be for you.
Whether it's a new Queen West food spot, a concert clip from downtown, a hot pilates class, a rooftop view, or something completely out of pocket happening on the TTC, Instagram Stories have become the place where people capture the very real moments of city life.
What started as a quick disappearing photo feature has turned into one of the most active parts of social media. For brands, it's become one of the most valuable and Locals.tv is giving you a way to make some money from it by sharing brand posts directly to your Instagram Stories.
On Locals.tv, anyone with an active, public Instagram account can browse available campaigns, choose one that fits the kind of content they already post, and share it to their Story. As long as the share is submitted through the platform and stays live for 24 hours, you get paid.
For someone in Toronto, that could mean turning a Story you were already going to post into a little extra cash to help cover a grocery run, a few TTC taps, or part of a phone bill.
Would you give it a try?
