Do you ever feel like your job doesn’t pay you frequently enough? Many times, employers won’t send out paychecks until 15-30 days or more. That can be tough, especially when you find yourself in a rut mid-month. Sometimes you just need weekly income because automatic bills that take out money from your account on the same day every month fall at an inconvenient time. No matter what it is, a job that pays weekly can help you keep better track of your spendings and earnings each week, rather than on a long monthly basis when payments and responsibilities pile up.

10. Blogging
As a blogger myself, I can contest to having an online job that pays regularly, if not weekly. As a niche blogger, I earn mainly through affiliate marketing and display advertising (i.e. Mediavine). Each affiliate program I join has different pay structures, so earning from them is definitely doable on a regular basis as they are varied and numerous.
Starting your own affiliate blog and earning from it regularly, to the point where you don’t have to count the weeks until you get paid again, will take time. But luckily, anyone can do it!
11. Coaching
Setting up your own life or business coaching gig is a popular and financially-interesting way to earn money while helping people. However, gaining the skills and certification required to be a successful coach takes time and investment. You also need to gain an authentic following and client-base to pitch your coaching services to.
Right now, Instagram is very popular among aspiring coaches, who are selling thousand-dollar packages to their followers. This one business coach, after gaining a slight bit of traction with guest posts and podcasts despite her small following, was able to secure $5-10k in sales in just one weekend thanks to Instagram. Not bad for a week’s earnings.
12. Virtual Assisting
Being a virtual assistant could be considered a freelance job, but there are also people who set up full-time businesses around this endeavor. Now more than ever, many website owners, companies, and brands are searching for professional VA’s to take care of the creative, technical, or administrative aspects of the business. For that reason, there are several types of virtual assistant jobs you could do that pay weekly.
Virtual assistants can make good money each week (ranging anywhere from $20-100+ per hour) doing any of the following types of VA jobs.
- Social Media Management
- Pinterest Management
- Instagram Growth Strategist
- Email Marketing/Newsletter
- Bookkeeping
- Web Design/Management
- Assistant Writing
13. Survey & Review Sites
This next job opportunity certainly pays weekly, but it’s not about to replace your day job. Nonetheless, to earn an extra bit of cash on the side each week, you could take online surveys, review websites, or shop with reward apps, in exchange for gift vouchers or cash deposited into your account or PayPal.
Because anyone is capable of doing these jobs, the pay isn’t great. But it’s a good starting point if you’re shy a few dozen bucks each week, or are a teen searching for quick side hustles. Some of these quick, weekly-paying jobs are:
- Survey Junkie – Get paid each week to take online surveys.
- InboxDollars – Watch TV, play games, take surveys, and get paid to do it.

18. House/Baby Sitting

Getting a job that pays weekly doesn’t have to be a wild goose chase! When searching for a job that pays on a regular basis, make sure to consider what is it you enjoy doing, have time for, and how much you want to earn to supplement your current income.
