side jobs, job ideas, making moneyWhether you’re in debt and you’re looking for more ways to make money or you’re just looking for side job ideas, I’ve scoured the web for some potential ideas when it comes down to making money on the side.  The nice thing about the jobs that I mention are that anyone can do them and the sky is the limit when it comes to making money.

Tutoring – You don’t necessarily have to be licensed to tutor.  Instead, find some willing students or parents that will let you tutor their child on a weekly basis.  This can easily net you around $20+ a child per week.

Yard work- Yard work may seem boring but if you’re working for cash, it isn’t at all!  Try posting flyer’s in your neighborhood.  Offer to clean up yards, rake leaves, mow lawns, leaf blow.  There’s so much you can do and think of all the potential.  Mowing a small yard can net you $30 easily. 

Shovel snow- We all hate snow and so does everyone else that has a driveway that continues to need plowing.  If you own a snow blower or you’ll simply shovel it by hand, ask or hand out fliers telling them that you can help out.  A small driveway can earn you $15.  $15 x by 10 houses is already $150, all for a few hours of work.

Pet sit- Did you know that people pay top dollar for others to watch an animal?  Find people who own dogs, cats or whatever and offer to petsit.  This doesn’t require you to live there but all you will need to do is fill up water, feed them, clean up a little and that’s it.  The average pay here is about $20/day per pet for as little as a 1/2 hour worth of work!

Babysitting – Babysitting is a tough one because you have to form a relationship with the parents but if you can show trust and have good referrals, babysitting can be very lucrative.  Find a family with 2 children or so and get paid around $10+/hour.

Become a handyman – If you’re good at fixing anything around the house, offer up your services.  From fixing a dishwasher to fixing that picture frame that fell off the wall, everyone has something to fix and who knows, if you’re good enough, you can start up your own business!

Clean - Cleaning is boring to me but anytime money is involved, I’ll do it!  There are thousands of people out there that would love professional cleaning.  Ask offices, homes and others that would be interested in getting their place cleaned.  A 1500 square foot house can pay you $100+.

Work retail – With so many jobs out there in retail, it’s always easy to find a job.  Use services like SnagAJob that are free that find you hourly based jobs.  Find a job that will work you for about 10-20 hours a week.  Anything more than that could stress you out with a full time job on top of it.

There are so many jobs out there that can pay a lot.  It’s your duty to take action and find that job that can make you that side cash.  Money pays off debt and if you don’t have it, you’re just going to go into more debt.  Work hard and good things will come to you.  Good luck!
