Lots of us work during the week. Those Monday to Friday jobs are generally pretty good to give us a work life balance we are happy with. With the cost of everything rising, we might be looking at at our financial figures and wondering how we’re going to pay the bills. Whilst wages aren’t going up anywhere near as much as the cost of living is, there are a few ways to at least try to plug the gap. You might not want to give up your weekends to help pay the bills but the alternative is less than ideal. These jobs don’t have to be on your feet or out of the house though. Let’s have a look at how you can make money with remote weekend jobs.
Diary Management & Other Help
There are lots of business people who need a helping hand. Those business owners and entrepreneurs who simply don’t have the time in the week to complete all the tasks they have on their to-do list. You could step in and use your weekends to offer diary management and other services. You could be replying to emails, typing up letters, paying invoices and organising travel. As long as you have a laptop, broadband connection and a phone you can offer these services virtually as a virtual assistant. You can work from home or wherever you fancy, even on holiday if you are away for a few days. This is a great idea for our list of remote weekend jobs.

Graphic Design
Do you have creative skills such as graphic design? You can find clients who want one off projects as well as freelance designs for regular work.

Print on demand
If starting your own business without having to hold inventory and post sales out appeals to you then you might love print on demand.
Print on demand is where you create a design and along with a printing partner like Printify you sell your design on merchandise like t-shirts, mugs and more. When a buyer makes a purchase your printing partner will print your design and ship it to your buyer, so it is a very hands off business.
I know what you are thinking – where do you get started with Print on demand? How do you create designs? How do you choose a supplier? Where do you list your items for sale?
The good news is that I have covered all of these topics and more with my print on demand series:

Customer Service
Did you know that many big companies actually have staff working from their own homes. You might envisage a big call centre with lots of desks, office chairs and computers. However in reality, many have staff logging into the system from their own homes and helping customers via phone or web chat. These can be fantastic remote weekend jobs as you can pick up shifts to fit in with your life and even overtime should you want to.

Tutoring
Making money from tutoring is more accessible than ever. With the ease of logging on and chatting to people all over the world via video conferencing, tutoring has changed. No longer do you need to be face to face to offer tutoring services. You can connect with students all over the planet who want to learn the knowledge you have to offer. You might be helping pupils who are behind but have exams coming up, people from another country who want to learn English as a second language or even showing people about how to play a musical instrument over a Zoom call. This can all be done via your laptop in your front room.
Remote weekend jobs allow us to earn some extra money without having to commute. This helps us to spend less on travel and also once our work has finished, we are immediately back at home. You might be able to tailor your work around weekend activities with your family and household chores. If you need some extra cash, it’s well worth looking into remote weekend jobs and opportunities.
