People are willing to pay to make their lives easier. Chances are you can help solve someone’s problem and get paid money in the process. Here are some ways that you can earn money by helping to fill a need.

1. Rent out your car
How much time would you say that your car just sits there not being used? Probably at least half of the day, right? Did you know you can actually rent out your car to others with the potential to make over 600 per month?
Check out a service called Turo that makes all this possible. It’s free and you’re protected with $1 million in liability insurance.

2. Clean offices/small office buildings
Many small business owners could manage to clean their offices themselves but don’t have the time to do it. Consider approaching small business owners to inquire about filling their office cleaning needs.

3. Offer personal shopping services
Personal shopping can consist of anything from buying clothing, groceries, or even personal items that need the touch of a savvy shopper.
Busy men and women could often use the help of a personal shopper to help them keep on top of their shopping needs.

4. Paint houses
If you like to paint and are good at it, consider offering your services to paint the interiors and/or exteriors of homes. When I was a teenager, my single mom and I worked together to paint apartments for a real estate owner that owned a couple of small apartment buildings.
It was peaceful work and it paid well.

5. Clean windows
This is another job that people will gladly pay someone else to do. A squeegee, a bucket, a rag, a good window cleaner and a great technique will produce results that will keep customers calling you again and again for your window cleaning services.
6. Offer house-sitting services
People going on vacation or those who travel frequently for work are often in need of a responsible house-sitter. If you have the ability to be away from your home for several days at a time, this might be a great side hustle for you that requires very little work.
7. Provide yard work services
You can do anything from mowing the lawn, to shoveling, to raking to minor landscaping. One look around your neighborhood will likely show you that there are many clients who’d love to pay someone to help them with the lawn.
8. Rent out a room in your home
Have an extra bedroom in your home that doesn’t get used? Consider renting out your extra room on Airbnb. Single people who aren’t home a lot often look for rental opportunities in homes where all they need is a place to sleep. Putting that spare bedroom to use to can earn you a few hundred extra dollars each month.
Be sure to screen clients carefully, though, or work through word-of-mouth before you pick your tenant.
9. Start a pet sitting/walking business
Pet owners who aren’t home often or simply don’t like the thought of their beloved “Fluffy” being home alone so long each day often will pay for a quality pet walking or pet sitting service. To gain clients for this fun and entertaining business, advertise at pet stores or veterinarian offices.
10. Clean houses
Find busy friends or family members who might want help with cleaning their homes on a weekly basis. People often pay good money to have some help with basic chores such as dusting and vacuuming.
11. Rent out your parking space
Have a coveted parking space you don’t use? Consider renting it out. Sites such as Just Park will list your parking space as well as the price you’re asking for it so that needy drivers can have a place to park near their work or home.
12. Sell your college notes
Companies such as Flash Notes will help you sell your college notes, flashcards or video tutorial sessions online to other college students. If you’re a good at taking notes, share your gift with other students by selling your class notes.
