7 Summer Side Hustles That Can Pay $1,000 a Week or More
As school lets out and the weather heats up, it's time to get a summer job! Even if you already have a full-time gig, summer side hustles are a great way to earn extra income — and you don't have to be a teenager or a teacher to work one. Explore More: For You: Depending on the amount of time and effort you put in, these gigs could even pay a grand per week and often higher. And the best part is that you don't have to quit your day job. Here are seven popular side hustles for the summer season that could pay $1,000 a week or more. Landscaping is a popular summer side hustle that has the potential to earn $1,000 per week if you land enough hours without having to cover a ton of start-up costs. Whether you start your own small business or join a local landscaping company that's looking for short-term help, the pay often ranges from $18 to $35 per hour or even more, depending on the market. Mowing lawns or general yard maintenance is in high demand during the summer months, and if you make $35 an hour, that means you would have to work just under 29 hours a week, which technically means it doesn't have to turn into a full-time affair. That's Interesting: Looking to get that summer bod while also making some extra dough? Becoming a mover is a way to do a 2-for-1 workout and side hustle. Moving can pay good money and it's a great way to earn cash with a pretty flexible schedule. There are plenty of weekend hours available if that fits around everything else you want to do this summer, or you can find moving companies that are hiring just about anywhere in the country. Though the hourly rate typically hovers just around $20, you can also count on getting tipped by many grateful customers. Freelancing is the original side gig, whether you do it in the summertime exclusively or all year round. If you have a knack for web development, why not try to turn that into an additional money-maker (that allows you to work inside and stay cool)? The estimated pay range for this gig is wide (generally anywhere between $30 to $75 per hour) as it depends on your experience and the complexity of the project. However, even on the lower end, you would still easily clear $1,000 a week with a part-time schedule. Make sure you leverage your skills and flexibility to maximize your hourly rates. The average pet sitter can earn about $17 an hour for taking care of furry friends while their owners are on vacation or out to work. That rate of pay goes up — often upwards of $25 or more — depending on if there is additional care the pets need, specialized training, or the requirement to stay at home with the animal for days at a time. If you pick up a few furry clients for this side gig, you can also segue into dog walking as another way to increase your earning potential within the same customer base. You can start with friends and family and then organically grow your services throughout your neighborhood and beyond by advertising on social media or simply depending on word of mouth. There are some big bucks to be made this summer by tutoring students who might be taking an additional semester of classes or looking to keep up with the material while on break. Either way, you can make a good amount of dough by aiding in their studies with private tutoring sessions, either in person or online. You can earn approximately $35 per hour, according to ZipRecruiter. Many parents still want their children to continue their education over summer or prep for the year ahead, so tutors are still in demand. Just by making the average rate, you would only have to work between 28 and 29 hours per week to clear $1,000. Food delivery gigs are a lucrative method to add some extra money to your checking account this summer. Popular companies like DoorDash, Instacart and Uber Eats pay you to deliver food to people whenever you are willing to work a shift. Keep in mind that you'll earn more by working in high-volume areas at peak hours revolving around mealtime. Delivery-based side hustles pay about $15 to $25 per hour, but don't forget about customers adding a tip to each transaction. Summer means that not only is it the time for barbecues and vacations, but it is wedding season as well. Rather than try to scrounge up catering jobs at the local event center, try your hand at officiating weddings. Each year, a couple million weddings take place in America, with an average cost of about $33,000. Officiants are always needed to make the marriage official, which means you can set your price starting around $200-$300 an hour. Most officiants are required to arrive an hour before the ceremony, stay through the nuptials and perhaps take a few pictures, which means that you could earn $1,000 in one day or a couple grand with multiple weddings in a week.
