It’s 9am Saturday morning. You have 12 hours to make the most money possible. What do you do?

Scout the neighborhood for tasks that need to be done like lawn care, clean up, junk removal, power washing etc. Knock on those doors and offer a good price with a quick turn around.
Go down to the boat marina and wash and wax a boat or two you’ll make good money as boat owners are typically wealthy and use to spending hundreds on simple tasks.
Pinched on time, your best bet is finding tasks that people don’t want to do themselves because of time constraint or laziness and offering a cheap and quick solution.
If I had 12 hours to make some quick cash, I’d focus on offering a mix of manual and digital services.
For manual labor, I’d hit up platforms like Craigslist, eBay Kleinanzeigen, or Facebook Marketplace and offer things like moving help, furniture assembly, or even yard work. These are things people need done *right now*, and since I have experience in the moving space, I could charge around €50-€85 per hour. Even just a few clients could add up fast.
On the digital side, I’d hustle hard by reaching out to around 500 people — through emails, DMs, or social media— offering services like website creation, marketing help, or even basic graphic design. Even if only 0.25% respond (that’s one or two people), it could be a high-paying job, because digital services tend to bring in more per client.
By mixing both approaches, I’d have a better shot at making as much money as possible in a short time!
