Server ($60-$300/Night)

Being a weekend server is one of the easiest and highest paying side hustles to work during the weekends. However, it may come with a cost of physical exhaustion.

Side Hustle TypeShiftAverage PayDifficulty
RestaurantLunch/Dinner$150 a dayEasy/Average

I had many friends who would be servers from pizza joints to even Top Golf. They would only work weekends but they would bring in a huge haul of over $500 per weekend (mainly in tips, not including base). I was a barista, earning around $300 a month working the same weekends, so you can imagine seeing their gains was astonishing to me. 

The only issue that I have with serving is the demand it has on you physically and emotionally. If you were already very busy during the week physically, being a server on the weekends can pose a heavy toll on your body, making it hard to see it as worth it. 

Otherwise, its rather mindless once you get a hang of it, and you don't really need more than good communication skills and a sense of hospitality.

Bartender ($100-$350/Night)

If you want to earn a little extra compared to a server, bartending is not only the best choice, but its one of the highest paying side hustles to get into on the weekends.

Side Hustle TypeShiftAverage PayDifficulty
RestaurantDinner$180 a dayHard

It can be a bit difficult to get into a bar. They want you to already have experience, usually. But if you work at a restaurant/bar, they could ask you to sometimes assist at the bar which can already give you experience. 

Bartending requires a lot of persistence, and its arguably much harder on the body than being a server. However it can be extremely rewarding, and its perfect if you are looking outside of a 9-5 office job and need to socialize. Bartending usually requires you to be sympathetic, and a good listener, and hopefully a since of humour. 

If you have all of these lined up, you could easily make it to some higher end bars and make well over $700 a night. 

Handyman ($100-$250/Day)

Maybe you are someone who like to work on small house projects, like fixing door frames, the air conditioning, pool cleaning, or even just fixing a leaky faucet. Handymen are more and more in demand, relieving many homeowners daily with hours of work. 

Side Hustle TypeShiftAverage PayDifficulty
ConstructionMorning/Evening$130 a dayEasy/Average

You can find handyman gigs anywhere on popular sites like Instawork and Upshift. I would highly suggest having already some sort of experience with handyman labor, whether you already work in construction or have a house of your own where you have modified multiple parts requiring rather tedious labor. 

Being a handyman is also arguably a great side hustle for introverts, or anyone even looking for a way to make money without a full time job

Furniture Flipper ($200-$1k+/Piece)

Flipping furniture is a trending side hustle that many full timers like to do on the weekends. 

Side Hustle TypeShiftAverage PayDifficulty
Construction/CarpentryAll Day$400 a pieceAverage/Hard

You don't have to necessarily be a genius to do this, however you will need to make sure you have some proper repair tools and know how to paint furniture/wooden pieces. The best way to make decent money from this is to buy an old fashioned piece of furniture from Facebook Marketplace, a thrift store like Goodwill, or maybe from craigslist.

From here, you use your creative skills to find ways to improve that piece of furniture. I have a friend who does this on a regular basis, and she would redo the drawers, cabinets, door knobs, and repaint entire dressers or even shelves. 

This is a great way to earn some extra bank, without needing to work at a restaurant or be worried about how many hours you spend. All in your own time. 

Sports Referee ($500-$1k/Week)

Sports refs for young adults or in college is a great way to make some extra cash. If you have previous experience as a successful athlete, this could be a great avenue for you. 

Side Hustle TypeShiftAverage PayDifficulty
SportsMorning/Afternoon$500 a dayAverage

Sports refs make on average $1,000 a week, however they could work more or less three days a week depending on how many game days you need to attend. To become a sports ref, you may need to get certified training before applying, as there are many rules to follow that require rather high professionalism and fairness. 

To succeed at this side hustle, I highly suggest you follow a particular sport that you love, and keep up with the latest rules and changes. Most refs start at local games for elementry level sports, however you can easily scale up as time passes. 

Freelancer ($250-$1k/Month)

Freelancing can cover a rather broad amount of gigs, however if you prefer to work online, being a freelancer is the best way to find the best online gigs for your weekend side hustle. 

Side Hustle TypeShiftAverage PayDifficulty
Online GigsAll Day$50-$100 a dayEasy

You can find many types of gigs online through platforms such as Upwork, Fiverr and Freelancer. Here are some of the easiest gigs to apply for that do not require much skill to get started. 

  • Virtual Assistant
  • Writer
  • Book Proofreader
  • AI Prompt Creator

There are plenty of other gigs you could find like Graphic Design, Programming, Translating, and even Social media Marketing. However those may require previous experience, and can be a bit more difficult to apply for. 

Warehouse Worker ($25-$60/Hour)

A bit of a far fetch, but if you do not like the restaurant scene being a warehouse worker offers the best alternative for weekend side hustles. 

Side Hustle TypeShiftAverage PayDifficulty
OperatorMorning/Night$45 an HourAverage/Hard

You can find warehouse gigs at Amazon or at Instawork. You could also simply google "warehouse part time jobs" and find various job opportunities that are more relative to your current location. Warehouse workers however have it rough. You are typically scheduled overnight shifts and work more than an 8 hour shift a day. You are picking up very heavy boxes and constintally manipulating boxes, which ruins your hands after awhile. 

I highly recommend this job if you hate handling food as a side job, just keep in mind it is extremely physically taxing. But its great if you are trying to maybe gain some muscle or if you are already rather fit and want to give yourself some physical exercise outside of the office. 

If you don't want to work hard, and you want to make easily over $20 an hour, Freecash offers instant rewards playing games and taking surveys. Simply download the app and get started with a chance to win a $100 welcome bonus.
