A second job can provide the income to make ends meet, jump start an emergency savings account, help reduce or eliminate debt, or provide the foundation for long-term goals, such as a child's college education or retirement. Those are a few of the second job ideas that might work for you.
2. Finding it hard to make ends meet? As economic
challenges continue to loom, consumers are seeing
food, fuel, and living expenses increase. Everything
is on the rise - everything except incomes. A
second job can provide the income to make ends
meet, jump start an emergency savings account,
help reduce or eliminate debt, or provide the
foundation for long-term goals, such as a child's
college education or retirement. But how do you go
about finding one? Bartender? Seamstress? Tutor?
Retail clerk? Those are a few of the second job
ideas that might work for you.
3. 1/ Consider earning extra income by bartending
a few nights nights a week.
The flexibility of bartending can allows you to
spend time with family, especially if you can pick
the nights you work. Working parties and special
events earn more money.
4. 2/ Use your talents.
Take in sewing projects, tutor local students in
math or other subjects, or use your love of cooking
to make extra money. Offer to cook for co-
workers for a fee or find a local construction site
and seek permission to sell plates of food to
employees. If you are an animal lover, offer dog
walking or pet sitting services in your
neighborhood.
5. 3/ Be an outdoors worker.
If you love the outdoors, there are many
possibilities open to you, for example:
● Make up and distribute a flyer offering to mow
lawns in your neighborhood.
● If you are a sports lover, train to serve as an
umpire or official at youth sporting events in
your community.
● You might even consider stenciling house
numbers on the curb for extra money. Put out a
flyer and asking people to hang the flyer on
6. their door on the day you will return. You can
stencil even if they are not home and come
back and collect payment. At $10 per house,
you can easily earn $100 or more on a weekend
morning.
● Shovel snow away from walkways. It's good
exercise and if it's only the walkway, you can
easily clear a few a night.
4/ Clean up at night and on the weekends.
Many cleaning services have flexible evening and
weekend hours for people interested in cleaning
office buildings. If you prefer working for
7. yourself, you might consider looking for a few
clients and striking out on your own.
5/ Consider retail.
Retail work offers lots of flexibility for people who
already have another job. You can look for work in
merchandising, where you restock shelves after
normal hours. Many inventory companies also use
temporary and part time employees to conduct
regular inventories of grocery stores and other
retail outlets.
8. 6/ Use your love of shopping as a mystery
shopper or as a critic for movies, restaurants,
or retail stores.
Look online for companies offering this. Shoppers
might also consider a second job at their favorite
retailer. The discounts for staff at many clothing
and other retailers can be considerable. Be careful
that you don't spend your entire paycheck and
more shopping for things you don't really need.
9. 7/ Benefit from the barter system.
If you pay gym fees, perhaps you can get them
waived by working a night or two a week at the
front desk. Have lots of pets? Working at a
veterinary clinic might get you discounted services
for your furry friends.
10. 8/ Sell, sell, sell.
Many people earn extra money by selling items in
online auctions. Some people seek items at local
yard sales and shops to resell at a profit; others
clean out items from their home. Selling used
clothes to earn money for new clothes can be a
great option.
11. 9/ Go green.
Recycling can earn you extra money and you don't
have to go dumpster diving to collect aluminum
cans. Simply set up recycling boxes at your office
and collect cans to be taken to the local recycling
plant.
12. 10/ Work at home.
Many jobs can be done from the comfort of your
own home. Data entry, transcription services,
billing, telemarketing, and data collection are all
jobs that offer flexible hours and provide
opportunities to earn extra income. When looking
for jobs you can do from home, beware of
programs that require you to pay a fee-they are
not likely legitimate. Talk with friends and family
members about opportunities they might know
about for you to do projects from home.
13. 11/ Seek seasonal work.
Whether it's working for a tax preparer in the
spring or a retailer in November and December,
seasonal work opportunities abound. These provide
great opportunities to earn extra money without
making a long term commitment to a second job.
14. 12/ Be creative.
Consider things out of the ordinary, like renting
out driveway space to a neighbor who has too many
vehicles. Or run errands for local seniors and
provide babysitting services to families.
