17 Side Jobs That Don't Require a Desk or a Screen Find out how to make extra money outside your 9-to-5.

If you work a 9-to-5 desk job, you probably don't want to take on a side gig that requires more time sitting in front of a screen. Fortunately, there are lots of jobs you can do on nights and weekends that don't require any computers or sitting at a desk for hours on end. These are some of the best side hustles you can start without quitting your job.

Babysitter

This side gig can be a good way to spend your free time interacting with other people -- cute babies and kids -- rather than sitting at a desk. You can search for babysitting jobs that fit your schedule on sites such as Care.com. Simply list your availability and desired hourly pay, and be matched with parents looking for sitters.

Bartender

Working as a bartender is a popular side hustle that can make your income soar. The average bartender makes about $8 an hour, according to PayScale, but you can make much more than that -- thanks to tips. Plus, if you're used to getting paid on a weekly or biweekly basis, it can be refreshing to get cash in hand at the end of each workday.

Boutique Salesperson

If you love clothes and don't mind being on your feet, consider a side job in retail sales. These jobs are usually available on a part-time basis, so you can fit shifts around your full-time job. Expect to make about $10 an hour as a retail sales associate, according to PayScale data. Although that's not much, many stores offer generous employee discounts. For example, Gap, Old Navy and the Banana Republic give their employees 50 percent off their purchases, according to Glassdoor.

Coat room attendants make about $11 an hour -- plus tips -- according to Indeed data.

Etsy Shop Owner

Technically you'll need a screen to create your Etsy shop, but the bulk of this side gig will be creating the merchandise you sell, whether it's paintings, ceramics, photography or other handmade goods. Owning an Etsy shop allows you to be creative and turn a hobby into a profitable business. If your shop is successful, you could make thousands of extra dollars a month.

Fitness Instructor

Get paid to work out as a fitness instructor. The requirements to work as an instructor will vary from studio to studio and might require certifications or teacher training, but if you love being active, the investment can pay off. Plus, many studios offer early morning, night and weekend classes, so it's a job you can easily work in around a 9-to-5. Fitness instructors typically make about $20 an hour, according to PayScale.

Focus Group Participant

You can earn $75 to $150 to share your opinion on new products, such as phones and food, as part of a focus group. Typically, you'll have to take a short survey that determines whether you qualify for the group, and if you do, you could be asked to participate in an in-person or phone interview.

This is an ideal job if you have a few free hours a week, but there are side hustles you can take on if you have even less free time.

Mystery Shopper

You can get paid to shop at the stores you normally shop at, or to dine at your favorite restaurants, as a mystery shopper. To do this side job, you pose as a regular customer and write a detailed review of the customer service experience you received. Typical pay is $8 to $25 per mystery shop, according to The Penny Hoarder, but you can also get reimbursed for the products and meals you purchase.
