What sort of side gigs can you do in an hour or less? You’d be surprised.

The options range from tutoring to taking care of pets; making deliveries to coaching; doing voice-overs to serving as a mock juror. Though you can certainly spend far more than an hour doing these side hustles when you want to, quick-hit side gigs make few demands. You’re generally able to schedule them into a lunch hour, a dinner break, a few minutes before work — or the hour before bed. Often, you can simply participate in these gigs as free time comes up.

Tutor

Most tutoring sessions are scheduled for an hour or less. And because of the rapid growth of online tutoring, you can dispense with drive time getting to your clients. Sites such as Wyzant and TutorOcean let you post a profile for free, describing your experience and why you’re the best tutor for whatever subject you’re teaching. They then use their global reach to help you find clients almost anywhere in the world.

You set your own rates and availability. But tutors commonly charge between $30 and $150 per hour, depending on the complexity of the subject. (Remedial English lessons are near the bottom end of scale, while tutoring in advanced STEM subjects and test prep dominate the high-end.) Both platforms charge a commission on your earnings. But you only pay them when you’re earning money.

Mock juror

Lawyers needing advice often employ mock jurors to evaluate how reasonable people might see their case. Are the details and evidence well-explained? Would you have doubts or be ready to acquit or convict? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the attorney’s argument?

Many of these mock jurors are enlisted to review the case at home and provide their advice to the attorneys online. Typically this requires 45 minutes to an hour of your time. Where can you find mock juror gigs? LegalFocusGroup, First Court and Online Verdict.
