A retired electrician asked USA Today's Kim Komando how he could get some small jobs that would help him out with expenses.
Kim says TaskRabbit is one of the most popular sites for small jobs and short-term work. You sign up and will go through the verification process.
Then when people request help with little jobs in your area, TaskRabbit notifies you so you can help out and get paid.
The site handles payments, so you don't have to waste time making invoices or chasing down clients who don't pay.
Another service to check out is Gigwalk.
