Most lists of side gigs assume you drive, own a computer and can stand for hours. This one asks first. Answer four questions and see only the work you can actually take.
$5-22.13 an hour
You pick up restaurant orders and drive them to people. Grubhub does not publish a national pay rate. It publishes set rates only in Seattle, New York City and California, and you pay for your own gas.
$4 an hour
You spend a few hours a week helping an older adult or a child one to one. If your income is low enough, you get a small tax-free stipend. It is budgeted at $4 an hour and does not count against other benefits.
$0.9-1,800 a sale
You list things you own and post them when they sell. Mercari keeps 10% of the sale. Listing is free. You are not paid until the buyer rates you, which can take days after delivery.
Most side gig lists rank work by what it pays. That is the wrong first question. Start with what you have, then look at pay. Here is the order that saves you time.
We went to 19 gig platforms and looked for one thing on their own websites: what the work pays. Twelve of them do not say. Here is the list, and what to do when a platform will not tell you.
