1) Weekend Babysitting
In the world today, parents are becoming younger. Children are making children, explicit television programs are viewed by the underage and social media is being bombarded by the younger generation. As soon as young parents reach their young adulthood phase, they realize that they too need a break to socialize with their friends and family. This is where you come in.
Offer the young parents or the single parent that you are willing to look after their child for the night or a weekend at an agreeable amount. The parent(s) are more likely to make use of your service especially if they have no one to take care of their little one. Your rate can vary according to the nature of the task. Should it be for one night only, you can charge them per hour. Alternatively, if it's for a weekend, you can quote them a daily rate. The ball is in your court! It's up to you to serve.
2) Q For Others
Impatience is a disease that many people suffer from as they grow older. Consumers are forced to exercise patience when they need to stand in line in a grocery store or at a government building/department. To save them time and money, why don't you stand in line for them? Of course, at a rate.
This will allow the consumer to do other things while you wait in line for them. The closer you get to being served or helped, you can simply text or call to inform your client. This is one of the easiest ways to make quick money and a high turnover.
3) Freelance Writing
The web is filled with various lifestyle, financial, business and tech blogs. If you find one that interests you and you believe you can benefit from the blog by adding your knowledge, nothing is stopping you from emailing the editor to ask if they are willing to pay you for your article. Sometimes, a blog owner will allow users to write an article for the blog, mention them as the author of said article, and pay them for their service. Alternatively, you can start your blog. Although, it will take a long time before you can start monetizing your blog.
4) Driveway Car Wash
A car wash is available almost everywhere you drive. One of the most important things that a motorist appreciates is a clean car. Some of them believe in the superstition that their vehicle drives much better when it's clean. Motorists go to the car wash when they have the time, on their way to a holiday resort, or on their way to work. Generally, they never have time or they're extremely lazy to do so. Bring the car wash to them!
You can offer car cleaning services in the customers' driveway. The bigger the vehicle, the more it will cost. While the motorist is having breakfast with his/her family or getting ready to leave, you're saving him/her time and money by washing their vehicle on their property.
5) Private Stalker/Investigator
Social media users upload almost everything on their social profiles that are spread across various platforms. This invites other users to follow and stalk their profiles. Stalking can range from jealousy to a grudge with the user. Those who don't completely trust their partners find it difficult to keep track of their every move. Some wish they could see their partners from one of the satellites orbiting the earth.
To earn quick cash, you can place an ad online to offer yourself as a private investigator or a stalker. The only thing you need to do is to tail the "suspect" and report back to your client without getting spotted as a stalker. In this case, your rate can vary according to your preference as it is one of the easiest ways to make cash.
6) House Cleaning
Keeping your house or room clean constantly is a very dreadful task. Parents too have a hard time getting their children to do the chores. Generally, people do not have the time to clean their house or apartment when they come from work. They're always getting home late or too exhausted to do anything else.
If you need a quick buck, offer your service to clean their home. Getting home from work to a sparkling clean home will uplift their spirit and mood if they had a terrible day. You don't have to travel to a different suburb to earn a quick buck. You can start next door!
7) Sell Your Photography Skills or Photos
Photography is the ability to take the viewer out of their state of mind into another dimension. The internet consists of many websites where you can sell your photos online at your fee. You don't need an expensive Canon or Nikon camera to capture cutting-edge photos. Your smartphone with a high-quality camera can snap amazing photos equivalent to an ordinary camera.
8) Shopping for People
Running to the grocery store after work or during work can be an extreme nightmare considering that you are time-bound or you're tired when you get home from work. On the other hand, consumers who hate the grocery store find it difficult to do shopping. Why don't you help them out?
Doing the grocery shopping for busy and lazy people will be a big sigh of relief for them. It will save them time and energy. Offer a service like this to people and then simply add your rate towards it. The consumer will pay for his/her items and yourself for your service. Think about it!
9) Rent Your Car
This idea is superb for those working from home or those who have a car but are unemployed. A quick buck can be made by renting out your car for the day or the weekend. However, this may come with major risks such as your vehicle being stolen, road accident and theft, etc.
10) Drunk Driving Services
In many countries, drunk driving and accidents caused by drunk drivers are a growing concern that affects many lives. The innocent are more than likely to get hurt by a drunk driver whereas the offender gets away with a minor injury. Governments are constantly researching new methods and reviewing existing ones to combat drunk driving.
One method I can think of is to offer drunk driving services. Clients can either pay you to collect them and their vehicle at the location or, you can go into a partnership with another driver. An idea like this can also develop into a 24-hour operational app for those at an event in the early hours of the morning.
11) Part-time Waiter for Private Events
Frequent entertainers and hosts often find themselves in a pickle when it comes to serving their guests and keeping the event afloat.

Offer yourself as a part-time waiter for events like this on various social media platforms or other websites such as Craiglist.

Uber driving can earn you extra cash when you need it most or it can become a full-time job for you. In the past, earning a steady paycheck from Uber wasn’t a difficult task to accomplish. Today, it’s different. More people are making use of the Uber driving service to earn extra income therefore the availability for drivers is quite high. However, don’t let this stop you. You can still earn a decent amount to keep you going.
14) Sell Your Unwanted Goods
Some of us have a bad habit of clinging onto items that we possess but do not use anymore. We hold onto it intending to use it again in the future. However, we do not realize that we don’t need it anymore. We want to need it! See the item as a way to earn some money and a burden relief.
There are many websites and social media platforms on which you can post the item. You may sell anything you want by using the world wide web.

Is it the examination/test period at school or college or, are you going on holiday with your family or friends? This is the perfect time to rent out your gaming console including your games. While you’re having a ball of a time on holiday or glued to your books - you can earn money.
Regarding your games, nothing stops you from charging a fee per game to earn a bit extra. One downfall might be that your client will not take care of it the same way you do. On the bright side, continuously renting out your gaming console and games for a fee could earn you enough to buy a new one. Think about it!
16) Gardening service
Professional and registered gardening services may charge a client an arm and a leg to tend to their garden.

It’s difficult for the working class parent(s) to find time to do the laundry after work. Supper needs to be prepared and the kids' homework needs to be completed. Some parents may have time on a weekend to do the laundry but it piles up during the week. Doing laundry the entire weekend might make the kids unhappy because they want mommy or daddy to take them out. You can put an end to this.
You can offer laundry and ironing services to your friends, family, or your neighbors. This will not only save them a great deal but can also become a business venture. Start small, save, expand and employ!
18) Old Age Carer
Old age homes and retirement villages can be extremely costly for seniors unless their children are paying for it. The costs of these settlements can vary greatly depending on several factors. On the other hand, some regard it as an unnecessary cost to do so. Well, this is where you step in.
Seniors require special care and they need to be under supervision at all times. Their children may find it extremely exhausting to balance their family life and to look after their mom or dad.

19) Sneaker Cleaning Service
Washing and polishing sneakers regularly can become an extreme headache and laborious. Regardless of how clean it is, you’ll probably wash and polish your sneakers again four weeks after a wash. This is a task I dearly despise. Cleaning sneakers is very time-consuming and monotonous. How did I come up with a solution for this? A friend offered to clean all my shoes at a rate per pair.
Ever since I made use of him, he expanded his shoe cleaning services into a registered business today. Currently, he’s making a net profit of $140 per week. My laziness started a profitable business. You can also profit off someone else’s laziness.
20) Pet Wash
Not all pet owners enjoy giving their dog or cat a thorough wash and brush. Some see it as a messy and unhygienic task. You might question yourself as to why they have a pet in the first place if they are not willing to give him/her a decent wash. If it bothers you, you can do something about it.
Make an offer to your family, friends, or neighbors to wash their pet at a fee. If you can land ten clients per month, this quick buck can become a permanent side hustle and even grow into a small business.
