Ok I'm fully aware that the first 15 posts of this thread will be jokes about hooking.

But seriously...what do you guys do on the side for extra cash? I make a decent living but I find myself needing some extra income at times...nothing huge but if I could make a few thousand a year I'd be happy. I've been doing some of the paid survey sites lately to see what I can squeeze out of those but there are very few legitimate ones. Also thinking about doing some ebay stuff...

Does anyone do anything different?

    Teaching Jiu-Jitsu, boxing, MMA pays pretty good side money.

    I am coaching High school wrestling now, but this is more for the love of the sport rather than money.....

    I also teach fitness- I am a Zumba instructor- often I have more work than I can handle - and its so much fun- I forget I am getting paid until I see an extra deposit in my bank account-lol! :)

    And I decided to get licensed to teach because I wanted no excuses to not work out- who knew I'd be whopping butt and getting paid!

    I work 70 hours a week. I'm salaried. I would LOVE to...no, no I really wouldn't like an extra earning job.

    My favorite times of the year is when I work/travel because I'm contracted at time and a half over 40 hours and I average 70-100 hours a week. So maybe I make up my income by traveling.

    I do this as well, but mostly with vintage/collectible toys.

    I wash my parents' dog or car

    I do housekeeping chores for family members

    I babysit my niece twice a week

    I am the go-to choice of several families for house sitting and babysitting

    I do simple tailoring jobs for friends and family, mainly hemming pant and jeans

    I sew aprons and blankets to sell, or my mom pays me to make some to give as gifts

    I USED to donate plasma twice a week, (but now I don't weigh enough to be eligible).

    I'm also an occasional respite provider for a young Down's Syndrome boy.

    It doesn't sound like much, but it actually adds up fast, and I hardly ever need to ask my husband for clothes money :)

    I would like to sell weed but my wife won't let me. And I'm not really liking the way the risk/reward scenarios play out in my head.


    I guess my answer is nothing.....

    I just work an actual second job at a low stress place, where the work is mindless.

    I get up early before work and run a paper route. Of course, the toughest part is no days off from the paper route.

    I do private weight training sessions by appointment.

    Just kidding. But this is something I might like to pursue some day.
