Earning additional income through part-time work not only enhances financial flexibility but also opens doors to escape an unpleasant work environment. The abundance of part-time work opportunities is a significant advantage.
A user asked the forum, “How can I make $500/month?”. Here are the top responses.
PIZZA DELIVERY
“When I was in college, I delivered pizza for dominos and would come home with 500 dollars every weekend.”
PART-TIME SECURITY AT NIGHT
“Work part-time security at night. Great money.”
WORKED AT A STORE
“I loved working at Ulta part-time last fall while I finished my degree. I did tasking, meaning I stocked the aisles, organized unloaded trucks, and handled back-stock while the store was closed.
They definitely need people as the holiday season comes up. Fifteen hours a week is like three five-hour shifts, and you should be set.”
CREATING SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS
“Offer a local business to do their social media posts. Charge $1000 a month, outsource the entire thing to random people in India or Russia for $5 a post (30 posts/month), and hop on regular meetings with the client.
Give them free advice – bring them back on for retainer meetings once a month. Get them invested in their own identity as well – it’s a business model that grows both parties. I’ve personally made $10,000 in one month from this business. It works.”
WORKED WITH INSTAWORK
“Try the app called Instawork. You can pick up random shifts with local businesses that pay anywhere from $15-$30+ an hour. Everything from warehouse work to bartending. I live near Boston and have worked in the Patriots and Red Sox games.
They pay out weekly. If you work four shifts/month, you’ll get $500 easily.
Let me know if you want more info.”
UPS LOADER
“UPS loader. Weird hours, hard work, decent money.”
WRITING ARTICLES
“There are some online writing sites where people buy articles from you. Like 200 dollars for a 2k-word article. It’s probably much easier and faster with Chatgpt. I saw it on TikTok, so you might find it there.”
SOCCER AND BASKETBALL REFEREE
“Become a soccer+basketball referee. In my area, you can earn $50-$70 a game. Do 2-3 games a week, easy money. It’s the season for fall & spring, basketball for the winter. You’ll have to get certified + background checks done first.”
WASTE MANAGEMENT
“I’m making about $1,200 a month. Side hustle: waste management. We make sure the trash company is picking up trash bins inside commercial properties. Have a route Thursday – Sunday. Work 3 hours a day, at $20 an hour. I get my route done in around 1:30 and get paid for the full 3.”
DOG WALKING SERVICE
“Dog walkers typically charge between $20 and $30 for a 30-minute dog walking service. The average cost across the US for a 30-minute dog walking service is $24.84 in 2022. DC, it’s even higher.”
WORK-STUDY JOB
“Work-study job! Paid by the college. I didn’t even do any work the entire time! Made between $500 and $800 every month!”
VENDING MACHINES
“Vending machines. A good location can bring several hundred a month on its own.”
