The summer months are often synonymous with travelling and taking a break from school or work. But this season can also be an opportunity to get summer jobs. Children are going to camp, couples are booking their weddings, and people need someone to look after their homes and pets while travelling.<\/p>\n

According to our latest survey, 70% of young Brits<\/a> have a second job, and up to 34% spend 20 hours a week on side hustles. Summer side hustles are great for those who want to earn extra money, hone their skills, or even save up for a vacation or a house.<\/p>\n

This list offers lots of summer job ideas you can do!<\/p>\n

How can you make money over the summer?<\/h2>\n

1. Baking<\/h3>\n

Spending lots of time indoors to beat the summer heat? Take this opportunity to bring out your baking pans and have fun in the kitchen. Cakes, muffins, cookies, pies, and donuts\u2013yum! It\u2019s time to let the world know about your talent as a baker.<\/p>\n

2. Cooking<\/h3>\n

If baking is not your forte, perhaps you can offer more general cooking or catering services<\/a> for special occasions. You might even find some customers looking for home-cooked meals.<\/p>\n

3. Renting out your home<\/h3>\n

\"colourful<\/p>\n

Many travellers are looking for more affordable options than hotels, so why not rent out your extra space? This is especially a good option if you live near a beach, lake, or in a popular neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

4. House sitting<\/h3>\n

You\u2019ll be staying at a house and taking care of it while the owners are on vacation or business trips. This falls under a list of easy ways to make money in the summer! Expect that you may have to water plants, do some light cleaning, and bring in the mail, depending on your agreement with the owner.<\/p>\n

5. Babysitting<\/h3>\n

Busy parents or couples who need some time to themselves will have you to turn to when looking for a reliable babysitter!<\/p>\n

6. Pet sitting<\/h3>\n

Many people go on trips during summer, and they can\u2019t always bring their beloved pets along. You can offer pet sitting services while assuring your customers their pets are loved and well-fed while they\u2019re away.<\/p>\n

7. Dog walking<\/h3>\n

Pet lovers, here\u2019s another fun summer job! Walking dogs is a great way to earn extra money while spending time with new furry friends.<\/p>\n

8. Travel planning<\/h3>\n

\"woman<\/p>\n

Preparing for trips can be stressful! Make couples\u2019 and families\u2019 lives easier by organising their flight details, tours, transportation, and dining locations.<\/p>\n

9. Planning events<\/h3>\n

Think weddings, graduations, conferences, and parties! As an event planner, you\u2019ll be able to help clients fulfil their vision.<\/p>\n

10. Makeup services<\/h3>\n

\"woman<\/p>\n

All those hours watching makeup tutorials and practising can finally pay off! Makeup artists often provide their own cosmetics and equipment. They help clients achieve their makeup and hair inspiration for special days.<\/p>\n

11. Event entertainment<\/h3>\n

If you have a talent for singing, dancing, or even performing magic tricks, why not make money off your skills? You can book private events such as children\u2019s birthday parties, weddings, and company events.<\/p>\n

12. Photography and videography services<\/h3>\n

\"photographer<\/p>\n

Every event needs photos to commemorate it. While most people use their phones to document milestones, nothing compares to professionally taken photos and videos!<\/p>\n

13. Food delivery<\/h3>\n

Everyone\u2019s looking forward to convenience these days, especially getting food without enduring the hot weather.\u00a0Help someone swamped with work or an elderly who can\u2019t go out for food or groceries by delivering orders right to their doorstep.<\/p>\n

14. Package delivery<\/h3>\n

If you don\u2019t want to handle food or perishable items, how about general delivery tasks<\/a> instead? With the popularity of online shopping, you won\u2019t have any problem with this as a summer side hustle.<\/p>\n

15. Transportation services<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s one of the most common part-time jobs out there. You could be a driver for a tour group, pick someone up from the airport, or become a chauffeur for a wedding.<\/p>\n

16. Carpentry<\/h3>\n

Summer is the perfect season for home improvement projects! Carpenters work on both large and small-scale projects. Some examples are building home extensions and refurbishing wooden furniture.<\/p>\n

17. Fitness training<\/h3>\n

Do you have a knack for fitness and think you\u2019d be a great personal trainer? Help people in your community achieve their fittest, healthiest selves this summer!<\/p>\n

18. Gardening<\/h3>\n

20. Computer & IT services<\/h3>\n

Know a thing or two about repairing laptops and setting up printers? You can find many computer and IT side hustles<\/a>, from computer repair tasks to IT support and web development.<\/p>\n

21. Car washing<\/h3>\n

Everyone loves a spotless and shiny car, but fewer people enjoy or have the time to wash their own cars. If you\u2019re up for the task, washing cars is a quick and simple way to earn money over the summer. With cars needing a wash every few weeks, you can potentially have repeat customers and a steady income!<\/p>\n

22. Lifeguard<\/h3>\n

Being a lifeguard at a pool or beach can be the perfect outdoor side hustle. Before you dive <\/i>in, you can opt to take a lifeguarding course<\/a> to improve your skills first.<\/p>\n

23. Swimming lessons<\/h3>\n

Swimming is an essential skill that both kids and adults need, and summer is the perfect time to learn! As a swimming instructor<\/a>, you\u2019ll teach people the basics, such as proper breathing and arm strokes.<\/p>\n

24. Pool cleaning<\/h3>\n

Pool maintenance<\/a> is a must, especially if one is planning to have an epic summer party. The job may include cleaning the filter and scrubbing the pool\u2019s surfaces.<\/p>\n

25. Product flipping<\/h3>\n

Summer is a great season for exploring garage sales and thrift stores. This is your chance to buy popular items at good prices and resell them for more online. Do your research beforehand and know what vintage stuff to look out for.<\/p>\n

26. Moving services<\/h3>\n

\"man<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s a new family moving homes or a college student moving into their dorm, this is a good way to earn extra cash. Offer moving help if you have a spacious vehicle and are physically fit to lift heavy items.<\/p>\n

27. Virtual assistant<\/h3>\n

A virtual assistant helps clients do administrative tasks<\/a>, such as setting up meetings, managing files, and responding to emails and phone calls.<\/p>\n

28. Resume writing<\/h3>\n

You\u2019ll be working closely with clients and getting to know their experiences, skills, and background to craft the best possible resume for their job applications. This service may also include helping clients write a cover letter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

29. Tour guide<\/h3>\n

Do you know lots of interesting facts and go-to places in your city? Work as a part-time tour guide if you\u2019re great with people and love the idea of exploring historical landmarks, parks, and other go-to places. You can opt to get certified by the International Tour Management Institute (ITMI)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

30. Music tutor or dance instructor<\/h3>\n

School\u2019s out, and many children \u2013 and adults \u2013 are looking for new ways to pass the time. If you have the appropriate skills and instruments and have the patience to be a good teacher, this is the perfect side hustle for you. Music instructors<\/a> can teach how to play the piano, violin, or cello. Dance instructors<\/a> can help students learn more about ballet, hip-hop, and many more.<\/p>\n

31. Tutoring<\/h3>\n

Summer is also a time for students to brush up on various subjects, such as English, Maths, and Physics. Aside from tutoring, you can teach public speaking skills<\/a> or tutor someone for college entrance exams<\/a>.<\/p>\n

32. Transcribing audio<\/h3>\n

It may sound easy, but transcription requires skill and precision! Transcribing one-hour-long audio or video recordings could take 3-10 hours. To be a good transcriptionist, you\u2019ll need to be a fast and accurate typist and have good hearing skills. You can also get transcription software to help you do the job more efficiently.<\/p>\n

33. Translating<\/h3>\n

Are you bilingual or multilingual? You can make money this summer by becoming a freelance translator or interpreter. Many people need help translating languages<\/a> like Italian, French, German, Arabic, Chinese, and Spanish.<\/p>\n

34. Social media management<\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s say you\u2019re always online and have a knack for creating witty captions and engaging content. Managing a small business\u2019 social media account, even just for the summer, can be a great way to earn money and hone some skills.
