There are many great part time self employment jobs available today. Are you looking for something to spice up your dull and dreary day job? Are you looking for a challenge that would knock you off your feet? If that is what you are looking for then you are in luck, for here we have a few very good suggestions for you:
If you have a full-time job but are looking for a bit of extra cash or just something to keep you busy over the weekends then doing some promotional work could be just what you are looking for. Many product manufacturers invest a decent amount of money into promoting their products, as such; there are always opportunities for friendly, hard working people who want to make a little bit extra for a few hours of work over the weekend. Handing out free products and prompting others to buy them is really not difficult and you can have a lot of fun while doing so.
Looking for some great part time self employment jobs could be quite a hassle but if you know where to look, you will find just the thing you are looking for! There are many people who have treasures in their homes and don’t even know it! Ask your friends and family for anything that they don’t use at home – old cell phones, electronic equipment, toys that they don’t have use for anymore, etc. All of these things might be just the thing that someone else desperately needs and now you can make a bit of extra cash by selling them again on auction websites like ebay and other websites that let you sell used goods.
If you are very well versed in the English language and have a good grasp on spelling and grammar, then you should seriously consider doing some freelance writing over the internet. The amount of time you spend working solely depends on what you are willing to do and how many hours you want to put into this “job”. There are many freelance sites available where you can look through jobs that are available and you might just find one suitable for you.
Other self employed jobs that might interest you are doing some house sitting jobs. Many people do not wish to leave their houses empty if they go on business trips or on holiday. Look through your local newspaper for ads where people are looking for someone to watch their house, pets, plants and anything else they might have. If you have no criminal record and have a few good references then you might just find a part time job in this line of work.
Starting a small day-care group where you look after a few kids (no more than 5), could be quite profitable but you should only attempt this if you love kids and do not mind looking after them.
These are just some of the part time self employment jobs out there. There are many more available out there in the world and hopefully the above has inspired you to look further if none of the above options already appeal to you.

Wondering ab0ut jobs that you can do over the summer to earn a bit of extra income in your spare time? Consider these great ideas.
1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item.
2. Become a “poser” who assists wedding photographers in setting and arranging various individuals in group and single photographic positions. “Posers” carry around a sketch book of various sitting and standing poses which consists of onion skin overlays of various wedding pictures bound in albums. Again, contact local wedding photographers and wedding planners, accordingly. The hourly pay is around $10-$12 per hour and you are often invited to attend all dining activities.
3. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor’s equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour.
4. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour.
5. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel.
6. Become a proxy/stand-in for neighbors to allow delivery of goods and packages to your home/apartment. Acquire the authority to sign any receipt of incoming packages as an accepting neighbor. Charge $1 per each package handled by you.
7. Consider becoming a restaurant-cafe customer liaison by using your cell phone at restaurants-cafes to coordinate with the hostess to keep track of waiting customers. Whenever there’s a very long period of time to activate a waiting list, you want to offer the restaurant your services so that customers do not have to stand around for any lengthy period of time. And when their name/assigned number comes up; you can call the upcoming customer’s cell phone to tell them that they can return to the restaurant and be served. The call back fee is usually around $0.50 cents on a per head basis. For example, a couple would be charged $1.00 while children under 6 would not be charged. Placement of a plaque which outlines your fee schedule near the hostess station is sufficient to garner attention of prospective customers who will value your services since they can do other activities outside of the restaurant — often beyond the range of any inhouse paging system. You realize that everyone has a cellphone and why not take advantage of the connectivity to make the diner’s experience worthwhile. The restaurant will also appreciate the added service you are providing as a customer liaison.
8. Why not become a paid feeder servicing the disabled at nearby nursing, convalescent, assisted living/care centers and hospitals. It involves feeding food to patients who are unable to feed themselves. The starting rate is $8.00 per hour. The only downside is that one has to take precautions to wash one’s hands after each feeding. A posting of your services [by a business card or flyer] on a reviewable bulletin board would be enough to generate customers. The paid feeder position is one of the fastest growing occupation at this time.
Good luck!

Sometimes people can miss the obvious. Here’s a q&a from a law student wondering how to get more experience in the field related to law.
Many law firms operate as partnerships, so even though the answer to this question is to work part time but not self employed, the end goal will be the become self employed, so we thought it worthwhile to address this q&a.
Although the answer below about being an unpaid intern at a law office is in the right vein, you might also be able to find this type of work paid if you prove to be very keen. You will Probably will need to work for free for a while, but some law firms really like to keep good staff.
Another alternative and paid entry to law related work is to start off in a support role – you could either work in the mail room, sorting out and delivering the mail coming in and going out of the office. Some law firms also have a records and administration department, which you may be able to work in. Both will give you a networking opportunity and an ability to learn about the profession as you go. If you are a female, you might also want to apply to be a secretary – experience is generally preferred, but if you are a fast typer and have your smarts about you, you might still be chosen. I guess you could apply if you are a male too, but at the current time, secretaries in a law firm are still virtually all women!
It is not unknown that some lawyers actually began their career in the same company that they became a partner of from working their way up from these types of roles if it was their goal to learn, study and undertake any required legal exams required to qualify. And of course unless you are the best of the best top graduate, this might be a smart way to assure your entry into the legal profession, rather than trying to break in later on as a fresh graduate.

I’m currently in school working on obtaining my BA with plan of attending law school after graduation.
I currently work in a restauraunt part time because the money is good and the hours are flexable. However, my issue is that working in a restaraunt has nothing to do with my future career in the field of law.
Are there any decent paying part-time jobs that would be related to law? I would only be able to work during the evenings and weekend due to school.
Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.
I suggest being an unpaid intern at a law office. Really. I know with medical school they expect people to have clinical experience and shadow doctors, so I assume law schools want law students to have.. civic experience.
By Self Employed Jobs It can be very frustrating when your babies are no longer babies and are children off to school and suddenly as a homemaker you no longer have children to tend to during the day – but that does not mean that self employed jobs are out of the question for you. In fact many homemakers especially thanks to the aid of the Internet now have greater and easier access to finding jobs that they can fit in around their homemaking.
Here’s an interesting question from someone that wants to be able to work while her kids are at school.
I’m a stay at home mom looking for a job that would be flexible. I would like a REAL job (not a stay at home job) that would allow me to work part time, get off when my kids get out of school and not work summers. Is there any careers that would allow this other than teaching of course. I do not want to teach. I’d be willing to go back to school and study something. Just can’t think of a carrer that would allow this. Even flipping burgers at McDonalds wouldn’t allow you to just take off all summer.
Home Health care, or any temp agency it all depends on your skills….
Other things that could be done include pet sitting, babysitting another parents babies, market research or mystery shopping, any hobbies that could become paid roles…
