Make Moolah While Working on the Nights and Weekends

Do you work a traditional 9 to 5 job and need to make money outside of those hours? Then these ideas are just for you.


59. Become a mystery shopper


If you're detail oriented and recognize good service when you see it, consider becoming a mystery shopper. Legit mystery shopping companies pay well for a mystery shopper's feedback. This is a good way to get paid for doing stuff you already do like going to retail stores and restaurants.


60. Collect and sell scrap metal


Scrap metal recyclers often pay good cash for scrap metal, and busy homeowners are often looking for people to take scrap metal such as old washers and dryers off of their hands. If you have a truck or trailer and some extra time on your hands, look for people eager to get rid of scrap metal (check Craigslist) and deliver to the local recycling plant for some quick cash.


61. Sell plasma


College students have been making money for years by selling their plasma to local plasma banks. It's a relaxing job (if you can handle the sight of needles) and can provide a little bit of income on a regular basis.


62. Start a club


Many people want to get fit but are intimidated by the thought of starting on their own. By forming a hiking or other exercising club, you can provide a need for people, make money and get fit, all at the same time.


63. Sell your stuff


Got too much stuff? Use your nights to clean out your closets and your weekends to sell your unwanted items at garage sales. Spring, summer, and fall are usually garage-sale-mania in most communities, so take advantage of the opportunity and provide items for deal-seeking shoppers.


64. Distribute flyers for local companies


Many local companies, such as local newspaper and service companies, are looking for trustworthy people to deliver flyers and papers to local mailboxes for them. Look for ads in local papers and on Craigslist to find jobs in this genre.


65. Pick up a paper route


The old-fashioned paper route still provides income for thousands of people each and every week. If you're looking for a quiet, simple job to perform during early morning hours, a paper route job might be for you.


66. Find a job as a Valet


High-end restaurants and clubs often seek out trustworthy drivers to perform valet services for clients. If you are a responsible driver and like to drive, consider working as a valet.


67. Deliver pizzas


Many people have gotten out of debt or reached other financial goals by delivering pizzas. The hourly wage (plus tips for great service) can add up to big bucks if you stick with it.
