When you need access to cash in a pinch, your first move may be to borrow money or increase hours at your full-time job. But sometimes, that isn’t possible or won’t be enough. If you find yourself in this position, it may be best to look to side hustles to fill the gap. Here are 5 side jobs that get you extra funds when you need cash now.

Become a TaskRabbit

Sites like TaskRabbit connect people like you who are looking for cash now with locals who need specific tasks done. People using TaskRabbit may list services they need, like putting together furniture, baby-proofing their homes, or painting.

 

If you have a specific skill or are willing to learn, you can apply on a site like TaskRabbit and connect with people in your area within days. And you can typically have money in your bank within a few business days after completing a task.

Walk Dogs or Pet Sit

As long as people keep pets in the home, there’s a market for people to care for them. The best part of this gig is that there are various options available. You can walk dogs, visit them in their homes, or even host a dog in your own home. If you have a friendly furbaby already, adding another to the mix might be an effortless way to score some quick cash simply by doing things you’re already doing!

Use Your Ride to be a Delivery Driver

It seems like only a few years ago, delivering food meant you worked for a pizza place. But thanks to apps like UberEats, DoorDash, and InstaCart, delivery has expanded not only into the majority of restaurants but also groceries and household items. You can typically apply for one of these jobs through the respective apps and get on the road making deliveries in a matter of days.

 

The best part about a side hustle like this is you can work when you want. And drivers can typically make around $12-15 an hour. That can quickly turn into an extra hundred bucks a week by only working 1-2 hours each day.

Hop Online and Freelance

Sites like Upwork and Fiverr help connect freelancers with clients looking to pay for services as soon as possible. If you have a computer and a marketable skill like web design or writing, hop on one of these sites and see what’s available.

 

Even if you think you might not have what it takes to freelance, you’d be surprised at what some people will pay you to do. Some of the simpler tasks available include writing reviews for products, reading new novels, or doing minor personal assistant tasks like scheduling meetings.

 

Because funds are put into escrow when you agree to a job, you’re guaranteed payment upon completion. That means once you deliver the service as described, the money can be released to your account quickly.

Sell Unused Items

Getting rid of household items and clothes you’re no longer using is one of the easiest ways to get quick cash and clear some clutter while you’re at it. And the best part is, there are so many avenues to sell your items, and virtually anything can be sold online these days. Here are the best places to look if you’re planning to sell:

  • Household items: Consider looking to Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist when selling these types of items. The beauty of these online platforms is that you’ll be connected with others in your local area who can plan to pick up items within days or sometimes hours. And that means cash in your pocket faster than if you needed to wait for online transfers to go through.
  • Clothes: Sites like ThredUp and Poshmark let you post gently or never-worn garments online and then send them directly to a buyer. Proceeds from the sale typically hit your account within a few days, enabling you to get money in hand fairly quickly.
The Bottom Line

When you need money fast, there are many side jobs that can help you get cash now. Choose the gigs that most closely fit your skills and watch as the money starts to flow in.
