The “Gigs” section is another great place to look. I created PowerPoint presentations for a high school history teacher for $60 a chapter. Made $300 in one month. I also laid a patio one summer when I first moved out here and didn’t have a job.

@Ashley @ Money Talks – I know! I really want to do it! :)
@Meredith – Haha, yup – had to choose the more entertaining ones of course ;) Can’t wait to meet you too! It’s gonna be a great GREAT time.
@Zero Passive Income – Oh yeah, REAL good for college students – esp during the summer. Sometimes they have gigs where you can play extras in movies too – those were always the favorites (though I never got to try it unfortunately, have always wanted to :))
@Kody – Oh nice!!! Way to take advantage of the perks!
@bleu – Ahahaha… that is awesome. And you’re in the hub of the best Craigslist there is!! haha…
@You Suck At Kijiji – I never got into that Kijiji site but I can see the appeal of it – esp in how you use it ;)
@CrystalH – NICE!!! And oddly enought I JUST got off the phone on a research survey thingie!! $150 for 1 hour of my time, best deal ever ;) Will be blogging about it soon… though it didn’t come from Craigslist.

I love the etc section. I always browse them in hopes of finding focus groups. You just have to know how to look out for the ones that are scams. I’ll be in a focus group next week that pays $125 and we get free lunch!

Good tip! I’m going to go cruise through now. Usually I browse just the category that most applies to my “field”, and it’s usually miscategorized stuff. Dipping into the miscellaneous grab bag may turn up something just right.

Brian (and others): If you’re in Canada, check Kijiji. (kijiji.ca) It’s eBay’s answer to Craigslist, and is the more popular of the two in most Canadian cities. As the username/web site suggests, I prowl the site for the worst/funniest of it. Don’t let that scare you off from checking it out for work, though. Just keep your scam radar up and you’ll be fine.

I love craigslist… been using it for over 10 years now out here in the Bay. But yes, lots of scams on that site. I just ran across a job in etc… where a guy was asking to pay people to pretend to be his family! I was like, what the heck is that about!? LOL.

Craigslist is awsome! I used to use it in college to find odd jobs here and there. But the jobs you listed on this post are hilarious!

mail checker?? Holy cow… and $60 a week seems like a lot for that! I’d be all over that.
