Some of the Best Weekend Jobs for Extra Money:

—

1)  Gig Economy

The gig economy is known as the “side hustle” for a reason; many of the people involved in the gig economy do it part-time, on the weekends, to supplement their income. Some ideas include:

• Working as a rideshare driver for companies like Uber and Lyft
• Freelance copywriting, editing, or proofreading
• WordPress developer
• Graphic designer
• Virtual assistant

Of course, there are plenty more opportunities. Depending on your skills and aptitudes, some of these jobs have the potential to make you anywhere from $30 to $80 an hour.

2)  Tax Preparer or Bookkeeper

While preparing taxes is more of a seasonal endeavor, part-time bookkeeping for a small company can keep you pretty busy on the weekends – and it can be fairly lucrative. Seasonal tax preparers make in the range of $20 – $25 per hour, but if you have an accounting background, it’s possible to make even more.

3)  Bartender

If you’re ever wanted a job that allows you to be social and make a ton of cash, bartending is a great idea. Weekend bartenders are always in demand for weddings and special events, and even for bars and nightclubs in your area. You’ll make most of your income in tips, and depending on the gig, there is potential for you to make anywhere from $100 to $200 or more per night.

5)  Retail Sales

Retailers are always looking for good sales associates, especially around the holidays. If you’re proactive, you might be able to land a job in a store you already love – plus, you’ll get employee discounts on items you would have bought anyway.

6)  Tutoring

If you have a bachelor’s degree and a knack for math, English, science, history, or geography, think about tutoring kids who are struggling with their schoolwork. You might need to get a background check and a couple of letters of reference, but you’ll be helping to shape a child’s future – and making up to $50 per hour for the privilege.

7)  Dog Walker

Dog walking services are in high demand these days. Busy dog owners want to make sure their pooch is happy, and many of them are more than willing to pay for it. Dog walking apps like Wag and GoFetch are growing in popularity, and they’re always looking for walkers. If you love dogs, it won’t even feel like work at all.
