Make Extra Cash or Be Your Own Boss With These 45 Gig Apps

Gig economy jobs are a really hot item right now and have exploded over the past several years.

Gig jobs are versatile because they can be a great way to make some extra cash or be a way for you to be your own boss.

These jobs can be anything from delivering fast food to cleaning a house, to moving something.

And there seems to be no shortage of gig apps where you can find these jobs.

Gig Apps and How They Work

Gig apps allow you to find people needing someone to do a job or gig right away (on-demand). Gigs can last few hours or several days, depending on complexity.

A gig can consist of yard work, moving someone, dog walking, cleaning a house, or a wide array of other things.

You are paid for each gig you complete, and you usually get tips as well.

The upside to these jobs is you can choose when you want to work because they’re all contractor jobs, but the downside is they are contractor jobs and offer no benefits such as healthcare insurance or paid time off.

And, you will also be responsible for your own taxes. 

However, don’t let this hinder your decision to try gig apps. Depending on the job and how often you work, the money can be pretty good. 

The best part about these apps is you can sign up for more than one at a time, depending on how much cash you want to make.
