What jobs can you do in the winter?<\/h2>\n

As you may already be aware, Airtasker is the spot to find various possible jobs<\/a>, or tasks, as we like to call them. Of course, we recommend perusing our Tasks page for inspiration, but the following categories will help you find the best winter business to start:<\/p>\n

1. Handyperson<\/h3>\n

\"two<\/p>\n

No matter what time of year it is, there\u2019s always something around the home that needs repair or improvement. This can sometimes be more urgent in winter than at other points in the year, as it could be weather-related. Overflowing gutters, a broken window seal, there are plenty of things that a skilled handyperson can help with to earn some extra dollars.<\/p>\n

Browse our tradesperson jobs page<\/a> to see what we are talking about; you\u2019ll quickly learn how in-demand this work can be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Garden maintenance<\/h3>\n

\"gardener<\/p>\n

Winter caretaker jobs in the garden are another large category with plenty of money to be made! This can be one of the great high-paying side hustles for university students as people still need their gardens taken care of but don\u2019t want to work out in the cold and wet! If you don\u2019t mind the weather and have a green thumb, the multitude of garden maintenance work available<\/a> is worth considering.<\/p>\n

3. Delivery driving<\/h3>\n

Once again, when people do not want to leave their houses, this is the perfect time for some extra scrilla! Delivery drivers<\/a> are in high demand over winter for food, groceries, or anything else! So if you have a license or bicycle (and a raincoat), you\u2019ll be good to go!<\/p>\n

4. Event planning<\/h3>\n

\"winter<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t mean people won\u2019t party because it\u2019s cold. Event planning is a busy industry during the colder months, from birthday celebrations to engagements and work events. If you have some experience in this field, you will be able to freelance as an event planner<\/a>, a job that can mostly be done from the comfort of your own home (until the actual event).<\/p>\n

5. Entertainer<\/h3>\n

\"keyboard<\/p>\n

From musicians to balloon animal experts, entertainers are required<\/a> for the same reasons that party planners are! The dull months still need good times, so if you dabble with any entertainment as a hobby, this could be the right time to turn it into a money-making venture!<\/p>\n

6. Tutoring<\/h3>\n

High school students are always looking for extra help in specific subjects, and since they can\u2019t go outside as much during winter, this is a great time for extra tutoring! So, if you have expertise in a specific subject, you can earn money tutoring. You can even do this online, so you won\u2019t have to leave your computer screen\u2019s warm, comforting glow!<\/p>\n

7. Freelance writing<\/h3>\n

If you consider yourself a bit of a wordsmith, blogging, article writing, or social media content is always in high demand. In addition, you can start offering freelance writing and consulting services<\/a>, another task that keeps you in your warm home!<\/p>\n

8. Babysitting<\/h3>\n

If your side hustle schedule only allows for short, one-time gigs, babysitting tasks are always on offer, especially during winter. Parents need to get out to get the shopping done or may even just need a break; this is where you step in to make the dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Personal shopper<\/h3>\n

The flip side of the above situation is people who do not have time to head out and handle their own shopping. You can provide this service for them and charge for your time, a handy side hustle that is also fun (what is better than spending other people\u2019s money to buy stuff?)<\/p>\n

10. Various odd jobs<\/h3>\n

The Airtasker Tasks page<\/a> is full of odd, one-off gigs like helping busy people set up flat-pack furniture, gift wrapping items, or running to the grocery store.<\/p>\n

11. Selling craft goods<\/h3>\n

\"closeup<\/p>\n

If you are handy with crafting supplies, making and selling your own creations can be a fun way to make some extra dollars. Who knows? One day, this could become a full-fledged main hustle!<\/p>\n

12. Retail work<\/h3>\n

If your winter side hustle needs to be a little more steady than gig work, ask some brick-and-mortar retailers about a casual position that can work amongst your main schedule.<\/p>\n

13. Business & admin help<\/h3>\n

Lend a hand to busy small businesses over the holidays. A virtual assistant role is another freelance side hustle you can do primarily online. If you have experience in this field, there is no shortage of work all year round!<\/p>\n

14. Painting services<\/h3>\n

\"woman<\/p>\n

When people are stuck inside, they start to think about home improvements or fixes that need tending to. Painting is often a big one and something people are more than happy to pay someone else to do. So if you are handy with the brush, you can create someone\u2019s new feature wall in exchange for some delicious dollars!<\/p>\n

15. Sales or telemarketing<\/h3>\n

Another task you can do from home \u2013 plenty of companies require more telephone support staff in the middle of the year. If you have the gift of the gab and don\u2019t mind a chat, this could be an excellent side hustle that you customise to the hours your schedule will allow.<\/p>\n
