Side Hustles for Summer 2019

Updated Published
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Clark chapter.
Babysitter/Companion

Babysitting is an easy gig to get with minimum qualifications. If you enjoy looking after children and making up activities on the spot, babysitting is for you. A companion often looks after elders by making meals, watching shows with them and overall being a helping hand.

Online Seller

If you have any clothes, electronics, jewelry, etc you should consider selling it. People are willing to buy pretty much anything. If you get really good at selling your things you can even start a little online shop.

Postmates/Uber/Lyft

If you meet the requirements and have a car you may want to drive for Uber, Lyft and any other driving-food services. Many people use Uber and Lyft on a daily occasion and therefore there will always be riders or deliveries to be made.

Tutoring

Are you skilled in teaching any subjects? This requires patience with students and a plan for when you go and tutor. There is private tutoring and online tutoring, so pick one which appeals to you.
