Outgoing individuals that love meeting new people could make between $10 and $50 per hour to be a friend to others through RentAFriend, according to PennyHoarder. Members pay $25 per month for access to the list of potential friends and can negotiate payment and other details on a per-case basis. The service promises a 'strictly platonic friendship' for those in need of someone to hang out with or even to fill in during events such as a wedding, funeral, or other social engagements. The service also works well for those visiting a famous city from out of town that are looking for a local to show them the sights.
