14. Do someone else’s chores

Not everyone wants to mow their lawn, assemble that Ikea bookshelf, or drop off a bag of old clothes at Goodwill, and they’re willing to pay someone else to do those things for them. Sign up with TaskRabbit and you can make money by running other people’s errands. Postmates and Amazon will pay you to deliver items from local stores and restaurants to customers. Or, you can advertise your snow-shoveling, lawn-mowing, or box-hauling skills directly on sites like Craigslist or even the old-fashioned way – a flyer on the coffee shop bulletin board.
