Alongside a job, many people in Belgium add a small side income with freelance work or a rewards site such as PocketsFull. This page looks at both: how to find real remote and freelance work, and how PocketsFull works if you want pocket money on the side.
Where to look for remote jobs in Belgium
Most remote jobs in Belgium are posted on general job boards rather than on special work-from-home sites. Searching those boards with the right filters is usually faster than looking for a dedicated remote jobs website.
- LinkedIn: search by job title and filter for remote, and follow Belgian companies that hire for home-based roles.
- Indeed: a large Belgian jobs database with a remote filter and daily email alerts.
- Glassdoor: useful for comparing employers and reading what current or former staff say about remote setups.
These sites are for permanent or contract employment, not for quick extra income. They suit people who want a full remote role rather than a side activity.
Freelance jobs in Belgium
Freelance work is a common way to earn online in Belgium, whether as a main activity or alongside a job. Writing, translation, design, programming and virtual assistant work are all in regular demand.
- Upwork and Fiverr: international platforms where you set up a profile and bid on or sell freelance services.
- Freelancer: another general platform for short projects and ongoing contracts.
- Virtual assistant work: admin, email handling, scheduling and data entry tasks that clients outsource remotely.
Freelance platforms take time to build up: a first client usually comes after a proper profile and a few applications, not overnight.
Data entry and other simple online jobs
Data entry jobs in Belgium are usually listed as freelance gigs or short-term contracts rather than permanent positions. They involve typing information into spreadsheets or systems, often using tools such as Excel or Google Sheets.
These jobs can be found on the same freelance platforms and job boards mentioned above. Because they are popular and simple to describe, competition for them is high, so a clear, specific profile helps.
Side hustles and reward sites in Belgium
A side hustle in Belgium does not have to be a second job. Many people use a reward site like PocketsFull alongside work or study to turn spare time into pocket money.
PocketsFull is a free online rewards site. Members complete paid surveys and offers, including many game and app offers, and build up a balance that they redeem for rewards. Joining is free and PocketsFull never asks for a deposit or a payment: rewards are earned, not bought.
Surveys are market-research questionnaires from survey providers, and a completed one adds its reward to your balance. Not every survey fits every person, since providers look for specific profiles, so being screened out before the end happens to everyone from time to time. Keeping your profile complete and accurate helps you get matched with more surveys.
Offers are tasks from partners, such as trying an app or a game and reaching the steps it lists, or signing up for a service. Each offer shows its own steps and reward. Earning by playing games on PocketsFull works the same way, through game offers on the Offers page, where you install or open the game and reach the listed steps. Some offers take between 7 and 30 days to confirm, and the offer page states the confirmation time.
PocketsFull also has a separate section of free browser games with no download and no sign-up. These are for fun only and do not pay rewards.
How members in Belgium get paid
The payout screen shows the redeem options available to members in Belgium. These depend on the country, so what you see may differ from what members in other countries get.
In Belgium, rewards can be redeemed for local gift cards, for example from IKEA, Apple, Zalando, Amazon, Decathlon or BOL, as well as for PayPal and Litecoin. A redeemed gift card is sent to the email address on your account.
PocketsFull does not pay out through other payment apps or wallets. If a method is not listed on the redeem screen, it is not an option.
