Earn Extra Money, and Influence the Future of Medicine

Earn Extra Money, and Influence the Future of Medicine

With the cost-of-living crisis squeezing household incomes in the UK, and pushing many people closer to the poverty line, more and more doctors and healthcare professionals are looking for ways to earn an additional income using their experience and professional opinions. Due to the demanding nature and irregular working patterns of jobs in the healthcare sector, hours can be long and working schedules change often. Time is an extremely precious commodity for healthcare providers, so a regular part-time job on the side can be challenging,and instead many people turn to remote working with flexible hours. Here are our top three recommendations for doctors and healthcare professionals looking to make extra money online. 

1.       Healthcare market research studies – get paid to share your medical expertise

2.       Healthcare content on social media – make money as a healthcare influencer

3.       Become a healthcare advocate – earn passive income via affiliate marketing

Market research companies like M3 Global Research conduct paid studies for healthcare providers (#1) and pay generously for your expert opinion on a wide range of healthcare-related topics. 

Online market research is one of the most flexible and quick ways to earn extra money from home providing you have medical knowledge and job experience. As opposed to earning money as a social media influencer (#2), or with affiliate marketing (#3), participating in research doesn’t require any upfront investment or preparation before you can start generating an additional income in your spare time.

For some survey providers, including M3 Global Research, the compensation is even available in their payment platform as soon as you submit your responses. Guaranteed by ISO certification covering information and data security as well as recruitment and payment, healthcare professionals can participate in online surveys at their convenience or take part in telephone interviews which are often paid very well. Additionally, virtual focus groups and interviews have proved very popular over the last couple of years as they are much more flexible, and don’t require travel. Online surveys can be completed at any time and anywhere; most survey providers even allow you to return partially finished surveys, in case you’re interrupted, or the survey takes longer than you had anticipated.

Becoming a part-time market research participant generates immediate income. You can learn how in M3 Global Research’s Blog “5 ways how to make extra money as a healthcare professional”. However, it may be more limited in terms of how much money you can earn since this type of income isn’t scalable, nor passive, compared to affiliate marketing for example. This is because you are not able to spend an infinite amount of time completing paid surveys and may be restricted by the number of studies that are available for your field and medical expertise.   

If you´re already active on social media and want to do something more creative, becoming a healthcare influencer (#2) might be the best option for you to earn extra income in your free time, but it will require some research and time to set everything up before you can start earning money. However, once the foundations are established and you start to create short, insightful content pieces for your niche audience which in turn engage the right followers, it can be a very lucrative option to run alongside your day-to-day healthcare job. You can even work on the go! As a doctor or healthcare professional, you have much more insight and knowledge into one of the world’s biggest hot topics – healthcare – compared to the general public.

If you have an established presence on social media, you could combine being a healthcare influencer with becoming a healthcare advocate (#3) in terms of affiliate marketing. This allows you to generate a passive income by collaborating with various businesses to help market their brand, products, and services to your social media community to increase their sales, registrations or to help build their brand reputation. An affiliate usually gets paid according to the number of clicks or registrations generated through their unique affiliate link, provided by whoever they’re collaborating with. This link is best shared and incorporated into social media content in a way that is attractive to their social media community. It does not matter if you don’t have a big following, businesses will still pay you to reach them and often pay even higher fees to gain access to niche audiences, such as “Oncologists”, “Neurologists”, “Dermatologists”, “Gastroenterologists”, “Pulmonologists”, “Cardiologists”, “Endocrinologists”, “Rheumatologists”, “Surgeons”, “Urologists” or “Midwives” etc.
