1. Concierge Service; covers so many odd jobs from house-sitting, errands to lawn care.

2.
I had some friends back in the UK who set up a window washing service over a summer holiday. They were uni students, but the work they did obviously required no skills. They printed up some flyers and would go knocking on people's doors. If they got no answer they would post a flyer, otherwise they would just ask if they could wash a person's window. Surprisingly a lot of people were happy to pay a few pounds to save themselves the hassle of having to do it. They made far more money than they would have done working a summer job.
