Many high school and college students get summer or year long jobs to make money. Others do internships or observation programs to get experience in their careers of interest. If you are someone with an internship or just too busy with summer stuff for a real 9-5 job, here are some ways to earn some extra cash easily and in a way that works for your individual schedule.
1. Pet Sitting
Many people take vacations during the summer and have to leave their pets. Most people just leave their cats at home and send their dogs to the kennel. Instead, you can offer to watch and keep pets of neighbors and charge a reasonable amount of money. This can be very successful if you send out flyers to spread the word to neighbors and friends so they know about your service.
2. Gardening
No one can resist baked goods, especially when someone offers them baked goods on the spot for just a dollar or two. If you make a batch of brownies or cookies and individually wrap them, you can take them to a meeting or public place and just sell them to people for $1-2 and make a fortune.
