2. House-sitting or Dog-sitting for Families Going Out of Town - Same idea as above. Spread the word via word-of-mouth and flyers.

3. Handyman Services - Are you handy with tools? Don't mind getting your hands dirty? Then, advertise your services to your local neighborhood. People are increasingly busy and don't have time for the simple odds-and-ends around the house. This is where you come in - and make some extra cash.

4. Car Maintenance & Repair - Offer your services to your local neighborhood to do simple oil changes, tune-ups, and other basic services. Why would they go with you, instead of the repair shop? Simple: You're local and you're cheap. If they know you, all the better.

5. Computer Repair - Good with computers? Know how to fix them or improve them? Here's a great way to make extra cash! Just about every household has one or more PCs and/or laptops. So, spread the word. Offer your services in this area, and depending on your service area, you'll rarely run out of customers.
