 Personal Shopper


Like a grocery shopper, as a personal shopper, you can buy anything a client needs, from clothing to housewares. A favorite way to earn money as a personal shopper is to buy gifts for clients. Many people (especially men) have no idea what to get family members and friends for gifts. Plus, many guys don't enjoy shopping or don't have the time. Choosing the right gift for that special someone based on the information the client gives you is worth paying for, for many people.While professional stylists who focus on fashion and clothing can earn up to $300,000 a year, the average personal shopper earns around $49,480 a year, according to Zippia.

 Repair Person

Like painting houses, you will set your costs, and what you charge will depend on the scope of the repair project. But many people who do home repairs do work alone, and a crew isn't necessarily required for smaller jobs. Most of the time, you get paid by the project. You'll want to consider factors like how long the repairs will take and the cost of any materials needed.
