5 Side Hustles To Make Money This Weekend

Looking for a side hustle or a way to start making money this weekend? Check out these ways to have cash in your pocket with a little hard work!

• Cleaning houses! This can start with a handful of supplies you already have in your home, with basic cleans starting around $25 an hour (can depend on location). Ask friends and family, use apps like TaskRabbit, or post to your local Facebook group to find clients today. You can also go to local retirement communities, apartment buildings, and other hubs to find clients who need a helping hand around their homes. 

• Dogwalking. This can be a very fun side hustle if you’re a dog person who likes a new change of scenery. I would always come prepared with extra baggies and leash just to avoid incidents. You may find that you can even walk several dogs at the same time to maximize your earnings. Retirement communities and apartment buildings are great client spots along with apps like Spot that helps dogwalkers and sitters find their match!

• Doing laundry. Did you know you can make money doing other people’s laundry? Apps like Poplin allow you to find local clients who pay by the pound for laundry service. Make sure your washer and dryer are squeaky clean, you have good quality detergents, and the right bags for delivery! You can also offer services in your local area and Facebook groups to find more people who need this service. 

• Delivery driving. I was always too nervous to drive people in my car, but dropping off deliveries was right up my alley! TaskRabbit, Roadie, Uber Eats, and DoorDash, are just a few of the ways you can make money delivering items for people in your local area. 

• Do temporary work for companies. Apps like Wonolo and Instawork allow you to pickup shifts at local companies that need an extra set of hands for certain days. This is more common to find in larger cities, but you can pop in for a shift and get paid immediately after. These jobs can be ticket takers at large events, packaging food, waiting tables, or setting up displays in stores. Check back often so you can see new opportunities in your area!
