If you are someone who prefers the extraordinary to the ordinary, the ridiculous to the sublime, and the downright odd to anything remotely normal, then this article is for you. Weird jobs to earn cash.

While I grow my online businesses, I often cast my eye around for ways to make extra cash. In the past, I have been employed in variable roles, some of them fairly mundane, some not so much. But I haven’t done any what you could call ‘weird’ jobs. Well, unless you count being a market trader, that had its weird moments!

To be fair, my friends already think I am weird. Why shun the security of a regular job to write books, blogs, and sell merchandise? They think I am — what’s the best way of describing it — a dreamer and ‘off-beat’. While they are discussing holidays, pensions, and house renovations, my head is in the clouds with stories, design, and photography ideas — what they see as ‘hobbies’.

Rather than trying to conform, this drives me further into seeking weird and wonderful occupations. This is the first in a series of articles exploring weird ways to earn cash.

Professional sleeper

Just lately, my sleep patterns have been all over the place, so imagine my delight to find out that you can become a professional sleeper.
