5 Surefire Ways For Teachers To Make Money This Summer
For Teachers, the summer months, although a great vacation, can also be the perfect time to make some extra money and reduce debt. What are the options for a Teacher to make money during the summer with a short-term business that can end when summer does? 1. Tutoring. I know it sounds obvious, but tutoring can bring in decent cash. You already have the connections through school, so marketing your tutoring business (and building a customer base) can be fairly easy � especially if you let parents know you offer tutoring before the school year ends. 2. Babysitting If you enjoy working with young children, you can work a few hours each week babysitting. Your hourly pay will be less than if you opt for tutoring, but you can still make a respectable $10 an hour babysitting. As a mom, I know how hard it is to find reliable, trustworthy babysitters, so you�d easily be able to get regular sitting jobs. 3. Summer Camp Hold a summer camp at a local park or even at your own home. Host a week-long camp, and plan activities. Parents will love the break from their kids, especially knowing the kids will be well taken care of and they�ll be having a great time. 4. Online Auctions Take the opportunity to list all your extra treasures on eBay. You�ll clean out your home of junk as well as bring in some well-deserved money. If you�re feeling ambitious, you can even list other people�s items and take a percentage for the effort. 5. Vacation Helper Many families go on vacation during the summer. They need reliable people to house sit, water plants, get the mail and sometimes pet-sit as well. You�d be providing a very valuable service with little effort on your part. These are just a few of the many ways for you to make some extra money during your summer break. The important thing is that it does not take a large amount of cash to start your own business. You can start with just word of mouth and take it from there.
