1. Postmates

Sign up to drive for the company that's most convenient for you. Postmates, GrubHub, DoorDash, JoyRun, UberEats. Registering is easy and you can drive as little or as often as you want. I made an extra $780 over the summer driving for Postmates periodically after work and on the weekends.

2. Become a brand ambassador

Be your own boss and become a brand ambassador for a company of your choice. You can advertise for dating apps like Tinder and Bumble, work for retail companies like GymShark, Lululemon and Victoria Secret or market health, hair and beauty products.

3. Sell your stuff 

Pay for your spring break by selling your clothes, electronics, home decor, accessories, etc on apps like Mercari and Depop. I made an extra $350 over winter break by selling clothes that had just been sitting in a plastic garbage bag under my bed.

4. Give tutoring a try

If you've done well in a class try tutoring a student that's struggling. People are looking for tutors all the time and you would be surprised how much money college students are willing to pay to pass their classes.

5. Drive for Uber

Become a driver for Uber or Lyft and drive during your spare time. If you live in a college town consider giving up a few bar nights to pay for a few more but remember to leave a garbage bag in the backseat just in case.

6. Recycle

Take your beer cans and water bottles to the recycling center. I know it can be a little inconvenient but $10-15 here and there adds up. I was able to pay for my six flag ticket over the summer with just can money. Plus, you're helping the environment, a win-win.

7. Learn a new skill

Learn how to do eyelash extensions or how to repair shattered phone screens and market your new trade to your friends and peers to make cash fast.
