10 Spring side hustles
As the seasons change, and more people began to get out of their homes to enjoy the weather, the opportunity to capitalize on the Spring season needs will be amazing this year!
Enjoy Affiliate Sales
This simple, yet effective way of making money will always be at the top of our list! You can always make money by promoting other peoples products through affiliate sites. Grab a catchy domain name, create a site with Squarespace or even Shopify, and sign up for the Amazon affiliates program to start finding your links. Although this is an extremely popular method, the key is to find a low-competitive niche for your site that will set it apart from others.
Spring Break Entertainment Services
Spring break is a great time to start introducing new forms of entertainment for the year. Every great spring break party includes music, games and food. You can earn plenty of extra cash by finding these forms of entertainment for people, teens and families searching for this for their next bash! Services such as booking bands, caterers, and gaming services are always at the top of the list. Create a booking site, contact the services you would like to refer and create a contract that’s fair for each party, build a social platform and advertise through local sites and referral listings. You’ll need to sell the convenience of the service more than anything, to both the vendors and the consumers. Make it fun, and EASY!
Pet Sitting Services
Many times, families and even students have pets that they can’t bring along for the Spring fun. After a winter of being in doors, people will be looking for services that will keep their furry friend happy while they are gone. If you have a little extra room for a few kennels and safe play areas, and have a love for animals, you could offer a once a year pet sitting service for the spring vacationers and make a good amount of money. People love their animals, and will pay for a great service to relieve their guilt of leaving them behind! Buy or even rent a few Kennels, create a social platform, and build a Google business listing. Start by offering a simple service such as walking or grooming to build your following, even sharing your knowledge of how to care for different breeds is great. Set your prices, stock up on pet food and start advertising a few months ahead!
Take on a Temporary Spring Resort Job
Live near a destination Spring Break area such as South or Daytona Beach? Find a seasonal job as a bar tender or waiter for a few weeks. With the some of the labor shortages today, you could wager top dollar for these jobs and make some quick money for a few weeks of work. Not in a Spring Break area? That’s ok, you could still find a local entertainment spot to make some good money as the weather begins to bring people back out and increase local restaurant traffic.

Landscaping Services
Cleaning up yards once the snow has melted is a labor-intensive process that many homeowners would like to avoid. If you have a truck or van, a few outdoor power tools and a willingness to get your hands dirty, you can make tons of money in a short period of time. Something as simple as sharing your business card within targeted communities at the right time is a winner. Find a local business center to help you pin point simple ways to get the phone ringing. The great thing about landscaping is the low barrier to entry for small-time entrepreneurs. Take lots of pictures, and offer the service to family and friends in exchange for photo prompts and referrals.
Home Cleaning Services
Something about the fresh air and flowers that brings on Spring cleaning projects and travel. Spring break is also a great time for homeowners to clean, organize and declutter their homes for the summer. Offering a house cleaning service that specializes in a Spring Cleaning reset, or even while homeowners are traveling, giving them the best of both worlds will be the selling point. A service like this will need to have good references, especially if you’re planning to offer it while they are away. Round up some cleaning supplies, find a few people who will let you clean up a few areas in their home for little to no cost, and find a few temporary workers to get to work. With so many working from home, home cleaning services have actually INCREASED, making this the best time to start!
Shuttle Services
Not a Uber, Lyft or Door Dasher yet? Spring Break is the time to reconsider. Working as a taxi driver is the easiest way to make money from spring breakers. Bonus is if you live close to or hang out around airports. Vacationers need rides to and from the airport as well as convenient transportation around town once they reach their destinations. Clean out your car, gas it up, and get signed up. Buy a good planner and schedule your availability around Spring Break and cash in.
Car Washing Services
Speaking of Car services, Home Spring Cleaning is not the only type of cleaning services that are a great Spring Side Hustle. If you have a love for keeping a clean car and detailing, this would be a great time to start that Car Washing Business. Even offering the service to private shuttle service providers will be a great way to find a target niche. Pick a location, stock up on cleaning supplies and advertise well in advance of the event.

Before you dust off that old sewing machine, we have an easier idea. If you’re just getting started right before the season, the best route is to find products already made and build an Affiliate Site around the new trends. You’ll be able to make a good amount of money by doing some research on 2022 spring and summer trends. Build a site around these trends and start generating that social traffic. Reach out to the vendors for promotional codes to use on your own platforms or within your website.
