Side Hustle Gig Labor

3 ways you can benefit from a gig labor job

Most people think of a gig as something associated with hiring a band. However, a gig is really just a temporary job that pays daily or at the end of the job. Gig labor is temporary labor job. Often times a contractor or landscaper may need temporary help with a particular job, but not have enough work to hire a full time crew so they hire a temporary person. Gig labor is different from a temp service in that there is no third party agency between you the worker and the guy needing your labor help. I found my gig labor jobs on Craigslist. Here are the three benefits of gig labor that I have discovered.
Junk Removal Side hustle

How to Start a Junk Removal Side Hustle.

Junk is something that everyone accumulates. Eventually that junk has to be hauled off and junk removal can be a profitable side job. Here is how to get started. As always, you will need equipment and customers. For equipment you will need a truck, dollies and tools. For the truck a used pickup will work. Eventually you may want to add a trailer or upgrade to a flatbed. I suggest both a four wheel dolly and a two wheel dolly or hand truck. The tools required will include a sledge hammer, saws, pry bars, wrenches, cordless drill, screwdriver and box cutters. You will also want straps for securing the junk being hauled off.

To get started you will need to find clients and equipment. For clients, I ride through my neighborhood and look at the yards. Often times people want their yard maintained, but do not have the time or ability to do it themselves. So they are willing to pay someone else to cut the grass or rake leaves. Personally, I like to mow lawns. To be more efficient with my time, I restrict my self to within a few miles of my home.
