2. Tutor or SAT prep coach

If your SAT score is still something you want to brag about, or you have some legitimate math, reading, or grammar skills, you can pick up some part-time work as an SAT prep coach or tutor.

You can spread the word among your contacts on Facebook or LinkedIn, or some sites you can check out for opportunities include:

3. Transcription Services

I have some friends who do medical transcription. The beauty is they make money on their own timeline, even on Saturdays, while watching college football games. If you are not interested in going through the training required for medical transcription, you can do general transcription.

You need to be able to type quickly with accuracy because you are paid by the audio hour or minute, as opposed to working per minute or hour. You may need to listen to the audio clip more than once to understand what is being said. Skilled transcribers typically have a 3:1 turnaround rate, meaning it takes three minutes to transcribe one minute of audio.

Some websites to visit include:

4. Short-term freelance projects

If you want variety, you can try doing one-on-one projects or odd jobs using a freelance website like Fiverr, Upwork, or PeoplePerHour.com. You can view projects that interest you, bid to complete the work (creating the “weekend only timeline” you need), and earn a little extra money in the process.

5. Surveys provided

One of the most flexible ways to put away some spare change in your spare time is to take online paid surveys. There is zero commitment; Just sign in during downtime if your schedule allows. While you won’t get rich doing surveys, it’s a great way to earn extra cash while you’re normally scrolling through Facebook! Most surveys pay anywhere from $1-$10 per 15 minute survey, but a few sites will pay $50 or more.
