7 Side Hustles You Can Do Right Now

We all know we are going through a difficult time financially, and what's worse, a lot of us are locked in our houses on top of everything unable to go to work. Here are some ideas for you who are either out of work, unable to leave your house, needing some extra cash, or anywhere in between!

1. Rent Out Your Spare Room - Renting out your spare room is a great way to make extra money, even during these tough times. There are plenty of people looking for a cheap room, and if you are willing to be a little bit laid back about rent price, so much the better! It's best for us to help one another out in these difficult times, and this is one great way to do it. Put your ad on Craigslist for a spare room, and encourage everyone in your family and your prospective new roommate to get tested for COVID-19 for safety!
2. Sell Services on Fiverr - Fiverr is a great way to make money for your quirky skills and talents and you don't even have to leave your home. Fiverr is one of many outsourcing and freelance websites that will pay you for odd jobs and skills you may have, some of which can be done electronically over the internet. Give it a shot. 
3. Walk Dogs - Walking dogs is a great way to help people, make money, and also get exercise. During these times when people don't want to leave their house, you can do it for them. Just make sure you keep your face mask on while walking!
4. Clean Houses - Nobody wants to clean their house, but you can! It's a great thing to do for everyone because the cleaner our houses can be, the more we can stay free of germs and diseases. So help out your neighbor and make a buck at the same time. 
5. Have a Yard sale - We're all stuck at home, so what better than to do some bring cleaning? This is a great side hustle because you can clear out your home, help other people get some things they need, and make a quick dollar all at once. 
6. Sign Up for TaskRabbit - TaskRabbit is an app you can use from your phone that will get you in touch with people that need some small tasks like cleaning and moving done. It's a great way for you to connect with people in need who can't do things like lift heavy things (such as the elderly) or anyone else who is too time-constrained to do simple tasks that need doing. 
7. Etsy - Sell things on etsy...especially if you are a crafty or artsy person, etsy can be a great way to share your talents. Whatever crafts you are into, now is the time to do it, especially if you are stuck at home with nothing better to do! Make that birdhouse, do that embroidery, paint coffee mugs, or whatever else you like to do, and post them up on etsy to see if anyone is interested!
