You already have the skill — the trade you do all week, or the one you never stopped being good at. Side work is turning that into two, three, four paying jobs a month without turning your life into a company. This is the home page for doing it right: what the jobs pay, where customers come from, what the license rules actually say, how taxes work, and how to get paid without chasing anyone.
Each one is built for that trade from the inside — the jobs people actually pay for, priced its real way, with the calculators and get-legit rules that fit it.
Fixtures, fans, outlets, EV-charger quotes — and where the license line really sits.
Disposals, faucets, water heaters — the service work that fills a Saturday.
Brakes, suspension, diagnostics in the driveway — priced like a shop, without the shop.
Tune-ups, capacitors, mini-split quotes — seasonal money, done legit.
The everything list — and the state dollar limits that define what you can take.
Decks, doors, trim, built-ins — skilled work people wait weeks for.
Gates, railings, trailer repair — fab-table money on your own hours.
Rooms, cabinets, exteriors — clean work with clean margins when you price the prep.
A mow route that pays every week — and grows itself by referral.
Mowers, saws, generators — every spring the whole block needs you.

Side income is Schedule C income — which means your parts, mileage, and tools cut the bill. See the side job taxes guide →
Undercharging is the #1 side-work mistake. Find your real hourly rate, or use the free per-trade cost calculators before you quote.
SideWRK is the app for exactly this life: write the estimate in the driveway, the customer approves it from their phone, the invoice sends itself, and you get paid — by card, or fee-free straight to Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle. Every job shows your real profit, because parts carry a private cost the customer never sees. I built it because the guy doing three jobs a month deserved software that takes him seriously without charging him like a fleet. It's $24 a month after a 14-day free trial, and every guide up there is useful whether you ever sign up or not.
