This is a great idea if you live in a major metropolitan area or holiday hot spot.

You can also do it on the go (like when you’re waiting for the kids to get out of school) and earn the same awesome deals.

If you’ve got great skills with administrative work like reading emails, responding, scheduling appointments, booking flights, handling customer responses etc., then sign up for a site like Fiverr, PeoplePerHour or Upwork.
