Hi guys,

I have an idea for a business that I want to start, there is only one problem: I need more money to start it. So I want to earn some extra money with freelancing on Upwork (or similar platforms).

Can you guys maybe give me some tips on what freelancing skill is in demand right now that can also be learned relatively quickly? (I have about two months to learn the skill, at most. Then I have to see how I can make money with it.)

(Regarding the skills I already have: I have a bit of experience with web design. I designed three websites for free for companies where I knew the owners a few years ago, but haven't done anything since.
I also currently earn my money as a content writer in my day job. As English is unfortunately not my first language, I'm not sure if that makes much sense.
I also have experience with Google Ads. I've launched ad campaigns for a good dozen online stores in my day job, writing a few thousand ads and then teaching other people how to do it, although again, the last time I worked with Google Ads was a few years ago.
I also currently do a little bit of video editing, but I have only done that for a couple of months, so I am not really good at it yet.
No idea if those skills are in demand right now. I would also have to polish up and improve those skills first, because I haven't used them in so long. Therefore, my question is whether there are currently skills that would be a better idea for freelancing.)

Thanks.
