1. Gardening and chores
Side gigs are a terrific way to supplement your income. Check Craigslist to see what people in your region need, or go door-to-door in your community offering lawn mowing, raking, house painting, and other services. Consider joining up with friends who are also trying to make some additional money while working outdoors. This is one method to generate money while spending time with your family.
2. Market your garden products.
If you live in a high-traffic location, you may put up a small farm stand to sell your excess tomatoes or zucchini (since if you grow zucchini, you will undoubtedly have more than you can use). Just be sure to check local rules and regulations, since some locations prohibit roadside businesses.
Even if you don't want to sell the results of your effort, there are several ways to put your garden to use. You may barter with friends for vegetables from their gardens, or many food banks will accept gifts of excess produce from your garden.
3. Hold a garage sale
Spend a day (or a full weekend) outdoors cleaning out and selling your stuff. If you truly want to draw a number of consumers, organize a multifamily yard sale with some friends and neighbors.
4. Buying at a yard sale
Rather of holding your own yard sale, spend your time yard sale picking - going to yard sales and estate sales to acquire stuff to resale on sites like eBay, Amazon, or Craigslist. People that have yard sales often simply want to get things out of their home, so they'll sell things for a low price, but if you have a keen eye, you can purchase goods and resale them for a profit. This may be extremely enjoyable and satisfying if you concentrate on objects that interest you, such as books, old toys, or tools.
5. Being a lifeguard
If you have a lifeguard certification, you will be greeted by the sun and sand (or, more accurately, pool concrete). Contact your local American Red Cross chapter if you aren't already trained; the organization provides training programs around the nation.
6. Volunteer at a camp
If you're a teacher or have another employment that allows you to take the summer off, try working full-time at a camp (it's not only for adolescents). If it's too much of a commitment, there are other options: check into day camps and summer seminars in your region that may require teachers for painting, music, carpentry, and other subjects.
7. Work at a theme park
Many amusement parks provide part-time and full-time seasonal employment. Cleaning the park and working in gift shops are two examples of amusement park jobs, as are operating rides and participating in live performances or as costumed characters. Check out your local amusement park's website to see what roles are available.
8. Conduct walking tours
If you know your neighborhood well, you may create your own walking tour and offer it to visitors and residents alike. You may provide general tours, historical tours, or tours focused on topics you are especially knowledgeable about (like the best pastry shops or used book stores). List your tour service on sites like Fiverr, Craigslist, and HipHost.
9. Work as a personal trainer or coach.
Consider giving outdoor fitness lessons if you're already a certified fitness teacher or personal trainer. Bootcamps and yoga programs in parks or on the beach are popular. You may post ads on Craigslist and put up fliers in the region where you wish to work.
