Why this matters
Skills you already have — cleaning, repairs, tutoring, cooking — are valuable to neighbours nearby. Offering them locally turns spare time into income with no travel cost.
What you need
A skill you can do, and a way to let neighbours know you offer it.
These are everyday items. If you don’t have one, look for the closest alternative — the steps will tell you what to use instead.

Tell neighbours, shops, and local groups that you offer it, with how to reach you.
Do a great job for the first customers so word spreads naturally.
