    I sell my pictures on online platforms. Photography is just one of my hobbies and I'm not getting much money from them but anyway it doesn't do any harm to give them some visibility.

      I work OT at my job - and volunteer for OT, and make it clear that I want OT.. sorry, I know it's not a second job - but lots of good work performance in one single basket means a better chance at a promotion later too.

        My full time job has a 4 day work week, I have Thursday, Saturday and Sunday off. Before I started this job last July I was out of work for 7 months and attempted to start a full-time cleaning business, it never took off enough to be my full-time job but on Thursdays I clean for the 2 regulars I had and I have done 2 construction final cleans 1 was several months ago and I only bid 350$ and it turned out to be a nightmare. But my SO recently began working as a Superintendent for a high end custom builder where the owner is also the land developer, he hired me to do the home they just finished and that one is 1540$ for 3 days of work. They said they will use me on the whole project as well which is great.

          I just scheduled the week for my wife's new work and she'll be making almost $500 this week for 4 days of work, probably around 16 hours of actual work. I love these app based jobs, don't even have to interview, they will take almost anyone off the street, no boss to answer to, it's classified as contract work.

                Its finally worth it again trying to use the float time in credit cards by taking advantage of the interest rate spread between your checking account interest and a 28 day t -bill.

                  She/we actually got $660 for the week and only 15.5 hours of work, had a few extra jobs added on, Works out to over $40 an hour but we have to pay tax on it and we both worked, soon she can do them herself

                  Next week I have $740 lined up for 16-18 hours of work

                    We also harvested and sold about $1,200 worth of pecans from our trees in November.

                      There are black walnut trees at our cottage that I wanted to try selling. The squirrels and deer have denied that request for the past 2 years, so I'm trying to collect the nuts to grow some trees. My grandchildren might make some money off of my efforts.

                        I actually looked up how to propagate our pecan trees and have already started using our 2 best trees, one is a 115 year old papershell and the other is a newer (maybe 50 or 60 year old) Stuart. Right now I have about 10 small cuttings, they are supposed to take 7 years to produce. We have maybe 7 old trees and 7 or 8 more young ones around the treeline that surrounds our property. It's too bad the original owners or whoever came next took out so many of them. I told SO it can't hurt to try and that in this case money does sometimes grow on trees�� I am hoping that by the time we retire we will have a profitable little grove.

                          I have an on-line store at both eCRATER and Amazon. Those help to make our dollars stretch further. I don't even begin to make full time income from it, but we need the money and I need a reason to get out of bed every morning. I consider it my occupational therapy and my arthritis docs agree. I think they like seeing their patients keep pushing along in life.

                          I have a blog that I earn Google AdSense on. So far about $700 over the course of many years. Never a lot at a time, but nice when the check arrives.

                          I participate in the Vine review program which as of last year, we now must declare on our taxes the wholesale (I think is the number they use) value of the product. Last year I had almost $3000 in products received. When I signed up I thought all I would get is books, but no not now. I get all sort of things. Last I checked I could choose to get a queen size bed frame that can raise your head and feet, etc. but it has a tax value of over $1k and we need a king-sized bed so it isn't worth it to us. I have gotten a lot of great products that I never could have afforded to buy, like a new iron, a new sewing room chair, a new computer, a new vacuum, a new crock pot that stir a toaster oven, etc. As they only send me what I pick from a list, I can decide for myself if I want the item or not. The list is ever changing. And NO, you can't sign up to be on the program, they invite you to join.

                          All part time gigs that are much different than the nursing job I used to have.

                            I usually toss the junk mail advertising $100 for opening a new checking account. However today this $350 from HSBC caught my attention. The fine print says to open a new account with $10,000 for 90 days and $350 will be added to the account. I already have 2 checking accounts and don't really need a third account but for $350 I plan to open an account with HSBC.
