Here are some tips on how to earn more with very easy jobs. There are plenty of ways to top up your income a bit.
With these jobs, you can earn some extra money on the weekends:
AS A TOUR GUIDE
If you have no problem speaking in front of others and enjoy learning about the local history and sights of your city, this job might suit you. Tourists, as well as locals, are always looking for fun activities to do – whether it is by bike, on foot, or even by bus.
For example, you could offer your tours under a certain motto, such as food, architecture, criminal cases, or ghost stories. In some cities, you can also offer tours about books, movies or series if something was filmed or written in your area.
WALKING DOGS OR WATERING PLANTS
In your neighborhood, there is certainly one or the other dog owner who would like help walking the dog. Here you can ask between five and ten euros per hour, or of course, negotiate more.
Some people also do not want to put their animals in a boarding house when they are on vacation or on a business trip. For example, you can take care of a dog or cat for several days and feed the animal. You can create a profile on websites such as Hundesitter.de to be found.
Other people are also looking for people to water their plants, get the mail from the mailbox and check that everything is okay in the apartment while they are away. Here you can negotiate a daily rate with them. Depending on what tasks you are to do in the house or apartment and how much time you spend on it, you can ask for 50 to 100 euros. There are also special sites for house sitting where you can create a profile, for example, trustedhoussitters.com.
If you look around your home, you will probably find some things you can lend to others – for example, your drill, tennis equipment, or camera. Check online to see how much you can take for the items. Then all you have to do is take some photos, upload them to eBay Classifieds or a similar website, and you will earn some extra cash.
If you have a basement or garage with room to spare, you can rent it out as storage space to neighbors who are short on space. Depending on the location, you can charge six to twelve euros per square meter and have a long-term income.
BEING A TUTOR
Is there one thing you are really good at? And do you have the patience and desire to explain it to other people? Then you could offer yourself as a tutor.
This could be school subjects such as mathematics, German, physics, or history. You could also teach others a new language or sport, or help them learn an instrument. Depending on your expertise and requirements, you can negotiate an hourly rate of 15 to 100 euros.
