Turn Summer Crowds into Extra Income

Tap Into Summer: How to Earn More with Gig Work This Season

This summer’s international soccer tournament is expected to bring a surge of visitors to our region—creating a unique opportunity for those looking to earn extra income through gig work.

From rideshare driving to short-term rentals and food-based businesses, increased demand means more chances to connect with customers and grow your earnings. Visitors will need transportation, places to stay, and convenient services—making this an ideal moment to step into flexible, on-demand work.

To help local residents prepare, the Kitsap Economic Development Alliance (KEDA) has partnered with Olympic College to offer informational webinars focused on rideshare driving and Airbnb hosting. These sessions provide practical guidance on getting started, understanding requirements, and making the most of these opportunities. 

Gig work offers the advantage of setting your own schedule and scaling your involvement based on your availability. Whether you're exploring a side hustle or testing out a new business idea, this summer provides a real-world opportunity to jump in.

If you’ve been considering ways to boost your income or try something new, now is the time to prepare. With the right planning and support, you can turn a busy season into a meaningful financial opportunity.
