Often within a week
Pick up extra shifts as a 1099 contractor through staffing apps. The simplest way to add income and the cleanest path to self-employment deductions.
Why it fits shift work
It is the work you already do, on the days you choose, often at a higher rate.
How to launch it
- 1Sign up with one or two per-diem staffing apps.
- 2Upload your license and credentials once.
- 3Claim open shifts that fit around your main job.
- 4Track mileage and expenses from day one (this is the tax win).
Where to start
The tax win
Once this earns 1099 income, these expenses become deductible on Schedule C, lowering the tax on your day-job income too.
Honest reality check
Zero startup cost and immediate income. Confirm a shift is truly 1099 (not W-2) for the deductions to apply.
Time to first dollar: Often within a week: claim a shift and work it.
