9 Unique Side Gigs People Use to Make Casual Money
Every little bit of money can add up to substantial savings!
Side gigs don’t have to be jobs you do every day. They don’t have to be jobs that make a lot of money. You can earn money on the side on a casual basis, when you want to. And guess what? All that money adds up!
We all need a little extra income from time to time, and while there are lots of traditional ways to make money, there are also some truly bizarre and unusual side gigs you can take advantage of. From selling your old books to becoming an exotic dancer, there’s something out there for everyone.
These are some of the most unusual side gigs I’ve explored:
1) Rent out your driveway
If you have a driveway or garage space that isn’t getting much use, consider renting it out to make some extra money. This side gig has become increasingly popular in recent years, especially in cities where parking is at a premium. To rent out your driveway, you’ll need to create an online listing detailing the location, size and any other important information about your parking space. You can also set a price for your rental — just make sure it’s competitive and fair.
