Every once in a while, you may get into a debt that you just can’t pay off with what you’re earning from your job. At that point, you should consider one of these side hustles for a little more money:
1. Handyman
Anyone good with tools can become a handyman. All you need to do is fill out the right paperwork and get your name out there. You’d be surprised how many people will pay good money for simple repairs or maintenance jobs. If you’re having trouble finding an initial set of customers, use Networx leads to find potential clients. Whether you’re plumbing, painting, or helping with light construction projects, a handyman can make a decent amount of money that can help you get out of debt.
2. Rideshare Driver
This is a fast-growing gig that can lead to a lot of money if you’re good at it. All you need is a car and a driver’s license to get started. Whether you’re taking people to work or to a hot spot for a fun night out, you can make hundreds of dollars each day as long as you keep getting recommended by clients. You can have a flexible schedule if a rideshare company approves you, and the pay can be more than $20 an hour during busy times. It’s hard work with long hours, but it can be worth it for a time as you pay off your bills. You may also have some interesting stories to share.
3. Babysitter or Other Caregiving Work
Babysitting is an old-fashioned way of getting more money, but the internet has made it far more lucrative. Certain apps and websites make it easier for potential clients to schedule and arrange payments, and people who use them make more money than those who advertise via traditional means. You could also consider becoming a part-time caregiver for older adults. Either way, you’ll need to pass a criminal background check if you plan on using a service or an app to get hires.
4. Selling Unnecessary Stuff From Your Home
Although this isn’t a regular paycheck, you can help pay off your bills just by getting rid of things you no longer need. You could use Craigslist, eBay, or the marketplace section of Facebook to get rid of things. People sell billions of dollars worth of stuff from antiques to old clothes and even computers and TVs on these sites. If you have a lot of stuff, it can provide an excellent short-term infusion of cash. Once you’ve paid your debt off, you can keep selling stuff to make money for the future.
5. Taking Surveys
You can do this online or in person. If you choose to do it in person, you may need to scour the internet for sites that tell you when a focus group session is being held in your area. If you can find one, you can make a reasonable amount of money to go to those outstanding bills. Alternatively, you could use an online survey platform. Just be sure to avoid those who pay in redeemable points and keep those who pay hard cash. Once you find them, you’ll have to do several surveys an hour to reach the equivalent of a minimum wage, but it’ll be worth it when your debt’s gone.
