Spring is a time of renewal and rejuvenation, and it’s the perfect season to make some extra cash by offering services that cater to the changing needs of homeowners and renters. Freelancer marketplace Taskrabbit lists the most in-demand side hustles of the season, including general furniture assembly, TV mounting, and moving help, which pay an average of $41, $52, and $47 per hour respectively.

Seasonal Services

• House cleaning: $60 per hour on Taskrabbit
• Home organizing: $150 per hour on Thumbtack
• Power washing: $98 per hour on Taskrabbit

These services are not only in high demand but also relatively easy to get started with. However, they do require some upfront costs for equipment and supplies. For example, an electric pressure washer can cost anywhere from $100 to $700 at Home Depot, and cleaning supplies can include a vacuum, a mop, a bucket, and various disinfecting products.

Marketing and Advertising

To get the word out about your services, you can post them on marketplaces like Taskrabbit or Thumbtack, as well as local community marketplaces like local Facebook groups or the Nextdoor platform. You can also create flyers and post them on community bulletin boards or create simple business cards on Canva and leave them in neighbors’ mailboxes or on their porch or door handle.

Rent Your Outdoor Space

With the weather warming up, people will be spending more time outside, whether it’s for small gatherings or for big events. And those with outdoor spaces could benefit from renting it out. Websites like Giggster, Peerspace, and Swimply allow you to list your space for rent, and you can set your own rates. For example, one Los Angeles backyard is going for $50 per hour on Giggster, and an Austin, Texas, backyard pool is going for $50 per hour on Swimply.

Before you get started, make sure to check the terms and conditions of each platform, as well as any local regulations or restrictions on renting out your property. And don’t forget to factor in the fees charged by the platforms, which can range from 10% to 30% of the rental income.
