Work from Home Part-Time an Hour a Day


Yes, it really is perfectly possible to work from home part-time an hour a day in order to earn some extra money. You just have to identify what it is that you can do. If you’re stuck for ideas then we will hopefully inspire you with some of our own suggestions.

  • Turn a chore into a money-making venture by providing an ironing service. Plenty of people will be happy to pay to have their ironing done for them, and it’s something that you can do whilst being at home.
  • If you enjoy cleaning get paid for doing it in someone else’s house. You can set up on your own or work through a cleaning agency.
  • Lots of people have dogs but don’t have the time to exercise them. Walking a dog for an hour gets you out of the house and is a great way to keep fit yourself – and get paid for it.
  • Teach a child or adult a skill such as playing the piano or a foreign language. Or you could provide coaching in a particular subject for school exams. If you are working with children or young people, you would be well advised to obtain a CRB certificate.
  • If you’re into keeping fit, you could consider becoming a personal trainer or running a fitness class.
  • An interest in alternative therapies, massage etc could also be a means of earning extra income, although you will need to be properly trained. You could provide treatments in the workplace or create a space within your home to provide treatments.
  • Transform a creative streak into a money-making venture. You could make your own cards to sell locally for instance. But always research your market first to make sure there’s room for you to join it, identify your competitors and work out your profit margins.
