Deliver the newspaper: Everything you need to know about newspaper delivery

📰 Newspaper delivery is an ideal part-time job that can easily be combined with other commitments, such as studies or another job. It offers the opportunity to earn extra income and build a healthy routine. Whether you're looking for a side job, part-time work, or simply want to earn a little extra, newspaper delivery is a perfect way to generate additional income.

Below, we explain everything you need to know about the newspaper delivery process, from the benefits and requirements to planning the right delivery route.

What can you earn delivering newspapers? 💰

As a newspaper deliverer, you earn an attractive €15.56 per hourly route, regardless of your age or work experience. Depending on the size of your route, you’re often only working for about an hour a day, making it easy to combine with other activities like studying or part-time work.

Note: Everyone completes their newspaper route at their own pace. An hourly route doesn’t necessarily mean it takes exactly one hour to deliver the papers. Keep in mind that during your first week, it may take you a little longer to finish your route, but you'll get faster over time!

Requirements to become a newspaper deliverer

There are only a few requirements to become a newspaper deliverer. You must be at least 15 years old and have a bike (or other transportation) to deliver the newspapers.

Newspaper deliverers work independently and are responsible for their own route, so it’s important that you can work reliably and independently.

What are your working hours as a newspaper deliverer?

If you want to deliver the morning newspaper, you’ll do so six days a week, Monday through Friday before 7:00 AM, and on Saturdays before 9:00 AM. ☀️

Can you only deliver on Saturday mornings? Just sign up! The depot holder will contact you and discuss the possibilities with you.

How big is a newspaper route?

The size of a newspaper route varies depending on the area, and the depot holder can tell you how large your route is. The duration and earnings from a route also differ. Depending on the size of the route, you can adjust the delivery time to be faster or slower, naturally also based on your own pace. 

Where do you pick up the newspapers?

You pick up the newspapers every day at the depot near you. The depot is where all the newspaper deliverers gather to pick up their newspapers. Occasionally, it might be possible to have the newspapers delivered to your home, but this is up to the depot holder to decide.

The benefits of newspaper delivery as a side job for young people and students

Newspaper delivery has many advantages over other side jobs. In just a few hours per day, you can earn a good extra income, making it an ideal way to make extra money without sacrificing your free time or other commitments, such as your studies.

Since you deliver the newspapers early in the morning, you have the rest of the day free to engage in other activities. As a newspaper deliverer, you work actively, usually on foot or by bike, which provides great physical activity. This helps you build a healthy morning routine as you start your day actively and with a good rhythm—a great foundation for a productive day.

📚 How to combine newspaper delivery with your studies

Newspaper delivery is an ideal side job for young people and students looking for a way to earn money without interfering with their studies. Since you start early in the morning, you can use the rest of the day for activities such as attending classes or studying.

It's an efficient way to manage your time so that your work doesn’t conflict with your study schedule. Plus, the physical activity helps you maintain your energy levels, allowing you to stay sharp and productive throughout the day. So, newspaper delivery not only provides extra income but also contributes to a healthy balance between work and study.
