Being a student, summer can be a great time to take a break from school and studies. However, it's usually a time to make some necessary money for the following school year. One way that I've used to earn some great money, and which still allows for a good bit of freedom and time off is doing some painting. No, I'm not talking about painting a masterpiece, I'm referring to doing some painting for people who just don't have the time or inclination to do it. Most people will need to have some kind of painting done this time of year, and you can step right in and fill the need and earn some money.
Some tips on getting this done; put some small ads in local newspapers letting people know that you will do the job cheaply and professionally. Although you'll make top dollar doing this, saying that you're going to save them time AND money will draw them in like bees to honey. You can also post on boards in food stores, try your luck at putting some makeshift signs at busy intersections, etc. If you advertise, you'll get the work.
Say you don't know anything about painting? Spend a little time at places like Sherwin Williams or other places that specialize in paints, and you'll soon know the difference between High Gloss, Satin, Semi-Gloss, Flat, and you'll definitely know if you're supposed to be using an Interior or Exterior Paint. You'll probably want to stay away from the Big Chains when it comes to getting information about painting because the quality of information that you get varies from store to store.
Lastly, it will come in handy if you have access to a truck and ladders. If not, you can always rent them, and oftentimes you can borrow them from the people that you are doing the work for. If you have ladder and truck, you can make fantastic money painting the Cornishes of rowhomes, which is the decorative top part of the house. You definitely need a ladder for this, and you can't be afraid of heights, but if neither one of these is a problem, you can make some excellent money. Usually what happens is once someone sees you painting someone elses Cornish, they'll usually decide that it's the perfect time to get theirs done as well, and at two a day at $150-$200 each, you're not talking chump change.
Painting for profit may not be the most glamorous way to earn some money, but it's something that just about anyone can do, and requires no special talents or large investment, just the willingness to do what others don't want to.
