How to Earn Extra Money Part Time

If unexpected bills, credit-card fees and other issues have put you in a financial bind, make some additional cash by working part-time. Supplementing your income with part-time work can be difficult if you're already working full-time, but there are plenty of part-time work opportunities if you know where to look.

Instructions

1. Moonlight at a bar or tavern as a bartender. Most bartenders work a few nights a week and bring in good money. Some states require a bartending license, so check with your state before you set out to find a bartending position.

2. Apply as a coach for a local high-school sports team. Many schools are short-staffed and have needs for coaches. If you are knowledgeable about tennis, golf, football, volleyball, baseball and swimming or diving, visit a few high schools in your area and pick up some job applications.

3. Work part-time on a farm or for a local veterinarian to make some extra cash. Working part-time on a farm may include milking cows, helping to tend to crops and doing other odd jobs. Working part-time to earn extra money at a vet's office can include walking animals, cleaning cages and helping out with paperwork.

4. Investigate some of the various online jobs that are available. Blog or write content for websites and receive advertising revenue or up-front pay. Take online surveys or work as an online customer-service representative. Keep an eye out for scams when you are looking for an online job. Never pay for the privilege of working for someone.

5. Read your newspaper's classified ads to find seasonal part-time work. In the summer months, greenhouses often hire additional workers. Stores also hire lots of people during the busy Christmas shopping season.
