Moonlighting
This app is a great way to list your services for people to find and hire you to complete a gig. Not only that, though, it also serves to allow you to invoice clients and receive payments on there, all wrapped into one convenient platform. They really thought of it all with this one!
Switch
This is a great app for someone who’s looking to take on new gigs without letting their boss know. It can be tricky to navigate new jobs when you already have one, so this app allows gig-seekers to search anonymously, swiping on jobs that they are interested in (kind of like a dating app).
Snagajob
This is a great app to find both short-term and side gigs, allowing users to treat it like a search engine. You can also set up alerts and notifications surrounding open jobs, and it has a wide range of roles on there. It’s focused on hourly employees, so keep that in mind.
TaskRabbit
This is a different kind of app that allows those looking to make some money on the side to complete simple tasks for people, such as running errands, wrapping gifts, helping people stay organized, or walking dogs. The pay is decent, and users can set their own rates. You do have to be approved to work as a “rabbit,” so check it out to see if you qualify.
Finding gigs to supplement your income or even to find a full-time job is easier with these convenient apps! Check them out today to start earning more cash.
