How to Earn Money Walking in Singapore — No Vehicle Needed
What if your daily walk could earn you money? In Singapore, it can. Walking delivery platforms let you earn from S$3 per trip by carrying parcels between nearby locations — on foot.
What is Walking Delivery?
Walking delivery is exactly what it sounds like. Instead of a motorcycle rider or van driver, you — a regular person on foot — pick up a parcel from one location and walk it to another nearby. Most deliveries are within 1-3 km, taking 15-40 minutes.
How Much Can You Earn?
| Parcel Size | Per Delivery | Distance Bonus | |---|---|---| | Light (under 3 kg) | S$3.00 | +S$0.70/km beyond 1 km | | Medium (3-5 kg) | S$4.00 | +S$0.70/km beyond 1 km | | Heavy (5-8 kg) | S$5.50 | +S$0.70/km beyond 1 km |
Senders can also add a priority fee (up to S$300) that goes 100% to you.
Example earnings:
- 3 light parcels in your neighbourhood = S$9-12
- 2 heavy parcels with 2 km distance each = S$12.40
- A busy afternoon with 5 deliveries = S$15-30+
There's no cap on how much you can earn. It depends on how many jobs you accept and the distances involved.
What You Need to Start
- A smartphone
- Be at least 16 years old
- A bank account (for FAST payouts)
That's it. No vehicle, no commercial licence, no special equipment.
What You Don't Need
- No vehicle — walking only
- No uniform — deliver in whatever you're wearing
- No shifts — work when you want
- No minimum hours — deliver one parcel or twenty
- No exclusivity — use other platforms at the same time
- No experience — anyone can walk
Who is This For?
Students: Between classes, earn enough for lunch with one delivery.
Retirees: Stay active, earn supplemental income, and connect with your neighbourhood. Walking 2-3 km per delivery is good exercise.
Stay-at-home parents: Accept a job while the kids are at school. Flexible hours mean you're never locked in.
WFH workers: Take a break from your desk. A 20-minute delivery is better than scrolling your phone.
Anyone who walks daily: If you're already walking to the MRT, the kopitiam, or the park — you might as well earn while you walk.
