This is the perfect way to get bikini-body ready and earn extra cash at the same time. Partner up with a gym or start a workout class at a local park. The Zumba craze is here to stay, just like jazzercise, African dance and belly dance.
2. Sell Ice Cream and Water
Everyone is looking for a cold drink or snack during summer sporting events and outdoor activities. Grab your cooler, find a local wholeseller and help keep everybody cool with your refreshments. Be aware that some place may require work permits.
3. Be a Resume Writer
If you have a degree in English or a great way with words, consider helping potential job seekers with their resume. Just like you, everyone is looking to make an extra buck during the summer so a good resume writer can be a lucrative side hustle.
4. Braid Hair
Women of color are known for rocking braids during the hot, summer months. If you have hair braiding skills, get the word out! People pay big buck for their hair so target kids, naturalists and friends and family who are planning to vacay.
