Shovel Snow
This is a good one if you don’t mind getting your hands dirty, and breaking a sweat. If you live in areas that don’t snow a lot, you could rake leaves in the fall. Just go around your community and ask your neighbors if you could shovel snow or rake leaves for pay.
Resell Shoes
This could be a great business if you get it off the ground. A Lot of people look down on people who buy expensive shoes, but many people sell those shoes after wearing them a couple of times. Companies only make a certain amount of shoes and the price usually jumps up after a couple of months.
Cut Grass
For this one you will need some tools such as a lawnmower. You will use the same strategy as before with the Shoveling Snow or Raking Leaves. Go around and ask your neighbors if you can cut their grass for a fee. It will really help out if your neighbor’s yard is starting to look wild.
Wash Cars
You can learn to wash cars pretty easily. Start by trying to wash your parents or guardians car first to practice. Once you can give that car a good shine, you should try to wash family members’ cars. If you do a good job people would start coming to you so that you can be the only person to wash their car.
Pet Sitting or Pet Grooming
If you have a pet you know how difficult it is to groom them. But if you like animals and have a knack for getting them clean then this is the one for you. Or if you know someone who has a pet, and they are going on vacation. Tell them that you will watch their pet while they are gone for a fee.
Dog Walking
People are busy and sometimes they are too busy to take their dog on a well deserved walk. So that is where you come in, offer to take their dog on a walk for an hour or two. For a fee of course. Plus you will be able to make bank if you get more than one dog at a time.
Stream Video Game
If you are big in gaming then why not set up some things so you can start streaming. Whether it is twitch, YouTube, or any other streaming site, you can make a lot of money if you start to gain popularity.
Teach a Foreign Language
If you grew up learning more than one language then you can use it to get some money. A Lot of people are trying to learn different languages and you can be the bridge to help them. Tell them you will tutor them for a fee.
Teach English
Likewise, a lot of people are trying to perfect their craft in English. You could sign up for different websites that will pay you to teach people English.
Use Fetch Rewards
This is an app that pays you to do something that you’re already doing. This app lets you scan receipts for things that you buy, you then get points and for those points you can trade it in for gift cards.
Rob’s Opinion
If you enjoyed this post or gotten something out of it please leave a comment down below. The biggest thing that you should know is that a lot of these jobs can make you a lot of money quickly but they aren’t sustainable. If you want to really build wealth that will place you miles ahead of your peers. Then you need to head right over and see my other posts on the Wealth Building Playlist.
