At one time I was a journeyman plumber, so I still bring in some extra $ with that, but I'm interested in other side jobs, or creative gigs that any of you take advantage of.

Let's here em'

This is certainly unique, but I make handmade 18th and 19th century hats and bonnets for reenactors, museums, even an opera company once!  Obviously the market is small and you have to have considerable sewing skills, but it brings in some decent $.  $400/month for July, though that is higher than usual. 

I've been thrilled with my ability to turn a craft/hobby into meaningful income!  And there are plenty of quilters, seamstresses, etc who have little side hustles on Etsy.

Refereeing sports. I make $40-$60 per game doing teenage soccer. You can be as casual as a game here and there or as intense as a tournament with 6-8 games per day for 3 days over a holiday weekend. Getting qualified is a matter of completing a weekend course. They're always begging for more refs.

Must have a thick skin and enjoy running about in the park! I tell everyone I can about this side gig because making 45 bucks watching 14 year old girls (they rarely foul each other) have fun outside on a sunny afternoon is like stealing money.

i wrote an e-book, and on a typical month, i make about $50 from it. the first few months it was out, i made a lot more.

working on the second one now :)

I work at an auto parts store on the weekends. It started off as a summer job in college. I worked full time during the summers and part time during the semesters. I just continued working there even after I graduated. I enjoy it, it puts extra money in my pocket, and I get a really big discount on parts, which I've used countless times and has saved me thousands of dollars.
