While many of you are in the process of looking for a quality salary job, earning money on the side is the best option at keeping you afloat financially until you land your next position. Here are several basic ideas that could work as side jobs and help pay bills. Our methods of alternative money earning ways are fun and creative but above all they are easy to get started.
Dog Walking
Begin your own dog walking business, which can become a successful little niche that won’t cost you any startup money. Go around your community and offer your neighbors and local people to walk their dogs for a limited amount of time with an hourly fee.
Create fliers and post them on local bulletins, newspapers, and online to increase your clientele. Dog walking doesn’t require much skill just a love and tolerance for animals. You will get good exercise and you can walk more than one dog once which will help maximize your time.
Sign Up for Medical Testing
Most won’t put their body under the scope and become a medical test subject, but it can be a paying job. Test subjects help researchers develop new medications that could be lifesaving in many cases. It isn’t as scary as some may think; and on the bright side you get to spend a few days lying in bed watching whatever you like on television. Medical testing takes place in local hospitals and overnight subjects can make even more money, around the thousand dollar range.
Scientific staffing services such as a company called Kelly Services are the largest U.S. providers for clinical work. You can be placed in your industry of choice for scientific jobs.
Create a Blog
Writing a periodic blog takes a little while to build up and it may not sound too intriguing but many websites offer a good amount of money for blog posts each week. Build your own blog brand then take your services to sites like Helium.com, which will pay per post.
Blog posts aren’t too time consuming and you can do it from the comfort of your own home. Pick a category you are interested in and after a few weeks you will have enough samples to show other employers. After you’ve sent out your samples you are sure to get a gig writing weekly posts.
