little extra dough to stuff in our wallet. Some gigs on this list will surprise you, like
rentafriend.com, where you can rent your day to someone who needs a friend. Who
knew you can do normal activities and get paid? Or have you ever been told you
have nice voice? Become a voice over actor. Folks will pay you cold hard cash to
just read into a microphone. And yes of course we include simple things like
mowing a lawn, or delivering pizza. But did you know, you can make up to $1000
for selling your hair online? What!? Yes sir, welcome to your ultimate resource to
make extra money. I hope you make enough extra cash to pay off some debt, go on
a nice date and of course, start your own business that gives you freedom.

This book is for anyone who legitimately wants to make an extra side income.

huge vacation, and just need the savings to get there. Whatever the reason, you and
anyone else can make extra money to support a better lifestyle.
Who Made This Book?
I, John-Zach Calhoon have been testing out side gigs or “hustles” for years. And I
wanted to share some insight for readers everywhere. I have heard too many
excuses and way too many complaints about money. Its time you to start grinding
the old fashion way, with good honest work. Of course some jobs are harder than
others, but the essence of a side gig is to make you an extra $1,000 bucks a month
in order to accomplish a particular goal. Some folks want to start a business and
take huge risk, while others just need some extra cash. If you really want an extra
$1,000 dollars a month, here are some rock solid ways to get there. And I bet it
will take less work than you think.
What Should I Do Next?
Read through this entire list. Really check out the whole thing. Then take some
time to research your different options. I hope you get inspired and start today!

businesses looking to hire sign-spinners. Maybe you’re really clumsy and can’t spin a
sign to save your life. That’s perfectly okay; you can just stand there and hold the sign
instead. Or if you’re willing to dress up in costume you can do that too.

legitimate. You can start out part-time and work your way up from there.

Screen Actors Guild credentials.
42. Notary Public Service
It costs less than a hundred bucks to get certified, and then you can charge a fee to

someone will hire you to clean their mangy mutt
48. Pet Sitting
People have pets. They leave them at home. Fortunately, most people won’t leave
them alone, but will hire someone to take care of them. That’s where you come in. So
animal lovers rejoice; you can get paid to hang out with someone’s cat or dog.
Become a pet sitter at care.com, Rover, or DogVacay. (www.rover.com,
dogvacay.com)

translate into major sponsorship money.

plethora of easily searchable online resources that can help you get started with this.

Put your organization skills to good use and plan someone’s wedding or birthday
party.

worthless?

way to earn money and enjoy the summer outdoors. You might even get to enjoy a
nice swim afterwards,
55. Proofreading Documents
If you have a sharp eye for detail you can set up shop on Upwork, or Fiverr, as a
proofreader.

This is a low-risk way to earn money without having to deal with people, rats, or
repairs. The best part about this is that you’re not risking anything, be it credit or
cold-hard cash. It could work.
58. RentaFriend
It’s basically what it sounds like. You can sign up for free at Rentafriend.com to be
someone’s friend for anywhere between $20 and $50 an hour. Yes, this sounds very
strange, but a lot of times you’re simply helping someone get acquainted in a new
town, meet new friends, or simply have a cup of Joe with them. Most importantly the
friendship is strictly platonic (no touching), so if you’re feeling lonely and bored….
(rentafriend.com)
59. Fiverr
What would you do for five bucks? That’s the general idea behind Fiverr.
Although it it’s called Fiverr in reality you’ll be making a little less than four dollars
after Fiverr and PayPal takes their cut. But don’t let this dissuade you from trying it
out. There are plenty of quick things you can do for four bucks. Good at graphic
design? Design banners or logos. Got a nice voice? Create a quick video for a tech
company. It’s quick and painless cash, and if you build a good reputation and sell
enough gigs, you might get bumped up to a top seller. Then you’ll really be rolling in
the dough. (www.fiverr.com)
60. Sell on Teespring
Teespring is a website where you can custom design your own shirts and sell them.
It’s pretty self-explanatory. (www.teespring.com)
61. Small Business Marketing
Many small businesses are unknown simply because people have never heard of them.
Whether it’s due to not having the staff to market themselves properly, or not having
the know-how of how to market effectively on social media., you can step in and help
them.
62. Become a Coach
School teams occasionally need coaching help and this can be a fun way for those
who like sports to make a bit of cash.
63. Babysitting
If you like kids and don’t go out on the weekends, become a babysitter. Advertise to
your friends and on Facebook that you’ll take care of their little ones while they go
out on a date. If you’re new to the area, get connected to families looking for
childcare with Care.com. (www.care.com)
64. T-Shirt Designs
Create t-shirts for events and organizations. Bonus points if you create the design
yourself.
65. Software Mogul
Software is one of those” business models where can make something once and sell it
over and over again. The cool thing is, you don’t even know how to write code to do
this.
65. Teach Yoga
You’ll need some certification, but becoming a yoga instructor can be one of the most
rewarding (financially and health-wise) ventures to undertake.
66. Tour Guide Services
Love your city? Then create your own unique tour experience. You can use websites
like toursbylocals and Vayable to get started. (www.vayable.com)
67. User Testing
Websites like Usertesting and Testbirds let you surf the Internet and earn some cash.
Basically all you have to do as poke around an app or web-site that isn’t user-friendly
and give them some feedback. (www.testbirds.com, www.usertesting.com)
68. Interpretation/Translation
Translating is a good way to utilize your bilingual skills. There are plenty of translation
jobs on sites like Elance and Fiverr to help jumpstart your business.
69. Tutoring.
You spend years in college learning things you’ll never use. Why not put those skills to
good use by helping students learn one-on-one.
70. Vehicle Advertising
If NASCAR can do it, so can you. Turn your car into a mobile ad using WrapMatch,
You can earn up to 400 dollars a month just driving to work every day.
Sites like Wrapify also work by letting you put a “wrap” an advertisement on your
car. All you have to do is drive it. What are you waiting for? (www.wrapmatch.com)
71. Sell Your Photos Online
If you’ve got a knack for photography and lots of pretty pictures sitting around, sell
them! Places like Fotolia, Bigstockphoto, iStockPhoto, and Shuttershock are good
places to start. Photos can be sold over and over again, and you’ll earn residual
income. (www.fotolia.com, www.bigstockphoto.com,www. iStockPhoto.com, and

for it, you’ll hear voiceover work everywhere.
74. Travel Agent Service
Do you like to travel? Do you do a lot of travelling? Awesome, you probably know
where to get the best deals for slights and where the tastiest restaurants are. It should
come as no surprise that despite how easily accessible travel information is, people are
lazy and thus there is a strong demand for insider travel knowledge
75. Web Design
There are lots of poorly designed websites out there, which is why you need to step in
and make them look good. You don’t even need to be super technical to build a
decent looking website and there are plenty of easily searchable online sources that
can help you along the way.
76. Wash Windows
Pretty self-explanatory. Offer your services. Make money. You probably already have
most of the things you need to get started: a bucket, ladder, and sponge. What are you
waiting for?
77. Mechanical Turk
Mechanical Turk is a service provided by Amazon that helps company’s complete
micro-jobs that sometimes only pay pennies for each one. The good news is that these
jobs are often simple and easy to finish in a short amount of time. The bad news is
that you probably won’t make a whole lot. Still, it’s something to consider if you’re
looking to save up a bit of money for a vacation.
78. Yard Work
Much like cleaning your house, yard work is not glamorous or fun, but the fact is
there are yards everywhere, yards that need some maintenance. And then there’s you
willing to mow lawns, trim hedges, and clip bushes. It’s a big business opportunity,
one you don’t want to miss out.
79. YouTuber
This goes without saying, but you can make big bucks on YouTube. YouTube (or
really Google) pays channel owners to host ads, so the more views you get, the more
money you can make. (www.YouTube.com)
80. Become an Online Coach
Have an idea? See people who need help with it? Whether your idea is helping
someone pass math class, showing them how to construct a website, or even just
motivating them to be a better person, you can do all this coaching them online.
Getting paid is easy as using something like PayPal. Come up with you prices, terms,
maybe even build your own website. I’d recommend using Google Hangout of Skype
to keep in touch with your customer as they are free to use. You’re getting paid to
help someone out; it’s the best of both worlds.
81. Develop an Online Course
If you’re good at something and enjoy teaching, this may be a good option for you. IT
doesn’t have to be anything difficult; teach someone how to clean their yard or pool.
A great website to check out is Udemy; it’ll give you a few ideas on how to create an
online course and also how much people are paying for someone like you to teach
them. (www.udemy.com)
82. Craigslist
Everyone knows Craigslist as the slightly sketchy place you can buy and sell stuff on,
but did you know you can also offer your services there? If that’s not your thing,
consider looking for cheap items you can re-sell at a higher price. It takes patience,
time, and persistence, but you can do it.
83. Online Surveys
Companies are always looking to hear feedback on their products on brands. Some of
them are scams, but there are many who are legitimate and will pay cash for your
opinion. Try iSurveyWorld, Cashcrate, and Superpayne. Tip of the day: never pay
anything up front. This industry is brimming with scams. Do your own research on
legitimate sites , and you’ll find some opportunities.
84. Recreational Sports Officiating
Recreational sports leagues frequently need umpires and referees. If you’re into sports,
this can be a fun way to spend your evenings while earning a bit of coin.
85. Zazzle
On Zazzle you can make money by selling our artwork designs on different products,
or manufacturing your own and selling them. It doesn’t have to be anything difficult
you could paint slogans on dry wood and sell them. (www.zazzle.com)
86. Cuddling
Cuddling. Who doesn’t like cuddling. Believe it or not, people are paying others for
platonic hugs (and they pay a lot). So if hugging strangers doesn’t creep you out, go
for it.
87. Inbox Dollars
You probably won’t be able to buy a million dollar mansion doing this, but you can
earn some cash for a vacation. Inbox Dollars is a rewards club that pays you cash. All
you have to do is complete various online activities such as printing coupons, filling
out surveys, and even shopping online. You probably already do most of these things,
so you might as well get paid for it. (www.inboxdollars.com)
88. Sell Your Hair Online
People will pay up to $1000 bucks for nice hair. Check out Hairsellon.
(hairsellon.com)
87. Swagbucks
For a few minutes a day, you can earnt a $20 Amazon gift card every month.
SwagBucks works by giving you points for doing stuff: watching videos, using their
search engine, playing games, taking surveys and even shopping. A few minutes doing
these activities a day won’t make you rich, but it will give you a chance to earn a gift
card to buy yourself a nice gift. (www.swagbucks.com)
89. Virtual Assistance
Large and small companies are seeking out people to become their virtual assistant.
Jobs range from answering phones, managing social media platforms, and web site
coding. Check out Upwork to get started. (www.upwork.com)
90. Donate Sperm
While it sounds weird, you can make some serious money donating sperm. Some
places offer up to a thousand dollars a month for healthy men.
91. Donate Plasma
Because mankind hasn’t discovered how to synthetically make plasma, we have to rely
on the real thing. You can donate your plasma and make money, on average about
$200 dollars a month. It’ll only cost you a few hours out of your day and your blood.
92. Computer Training
How many folks do you know still have trouble updating ITunes? If you successfully
navigated to this page, you probably have enough skills to each basic computer skills,
like checking one’s e-mail, to a beginner.
93. Computer Tutoring
Though we live in the age of technology, a good many of us are computer illiterate.
Look out for those types if you can and convince that important technical skills can
be for their career, or their business. You may gain yourself a reputation for being a
computer genius.
94. Pizza Delivery
Go the whole nine yards and bring dog treats to customer’s dogs, or a balloon for
their children, and watch the tips roll in.
95. Drive People to the Airport
Although Uber and Lyft are sometimes allowed to drop people off or pick them up at
the airport, that shouldn’t dissuade you from offering your own personal chauffeuring
services. Advertise to your family and friends that you’re willing to give them a ride.
96. Gig Walking
You can download the app for free and then find “gigs” around your neighborhood
to do. Companies will pay you do anything from snapping a picture of a storefront to
checking the price of milk in a particular store for $5. While you will start out with
low-paying, not-so-fun-to-do jobs at first, as you prove your worth, you’ll start getting
offered higher paying jobs.
97. Golf Course.
If you love golfing (and drunk old men) you can make good money collecting balls of
the range, serving cold beers, and cleaning golf carts.
98. Guitar Gigs
For this one it probably helps to be a decent guitar player. Try looking for guitar gigs
on Facebook, or in the paper. Then all you have to do is show up with a guitar, jam
for a few hours, and leave. You’ll still have your guitar, but you’ll have a nice bit of
cash to go with it.
99. Guitar Lessons
Pretty much goes without saying; if you’re good with the guitar and have the patience
to teach, show someone else how to play. If you’re really savvy set-up a YouTube
channel and show the whole world how to play. Or if you can play piano, give piano
lessons.
100. Lifeguard
You can make anywhere from $16 to $20 an hours lifeguarding. You’ll get money and
a nice tan.
101. Mobil Oil Change
If you don’t mind getting down and dirty, then this could be your thing. People don’t
always have time to spend hours at a mechanic shop just for an oil change. Offer to
change their oil while they’re at work. Bring the shop to them.
102. Mowing Lawns
Lawn mowing deserves its own special category. Even if you don’t have a mower of
your own, offer to do it with the other person’s. All you really need to do is show up
and mow.
103. Mystery Shopper
Companies will pay a lot to know if their customer service is up to par, or to check
out the competition. Mystery shopping is a hot spot for scams, so be careful.
Marketforce, Best Mark, and Intelli-101 seem to be legit sites that pay you to be a
mystery shopper. On average, mystery shopper get paid 10 to 30 bucks. Not bad
when you consider all you’re doing it shopping.
104. Network Marketing
Network marketing has a bad rep due to the prevalence of scams. However, plenty of
reputable companies exist that you can start working for today. Network marketing is
something that could potentially turn into a full-time job as well.
105. Personal Trainer
If you love fitness (and people), this is the perfect job for you. Someone out there is
always willing to pay others to help them get into shape.
106. Shovel Snow
Nobody likes to shovel snow except for you. Well, you may not like shoveling snow,
but I bet you like money. If you know a big snow storm is coming, go around to your
neighbors and offer to shovel their snow for $20.
107. Paint Fences
Paint fades. Paint on fences fade. And they need to be repainted. So go around in
search of fences with faded pain and ask your neighbors if they need someone to
repaint them for them.
108. Paint Street Numbers
Walk around your neighborhood and find all the houses with faded street numbers.
Then offer to pain them back on for ten bucks. A lot of people probably don’t even
realize the street numbers on their houses look a lot better painted. Not to mention, it
only takes a couple of minutes to pain and you can probably pain several houses in
one day.
