There have been instances (not in the recent past though) in the past where I had plenty of free time on weekends or in some cases weekday evenings. Looking back, it would have been nice if there was a way to monetize that time instead of wasting that time drinking beer or watching TV (not all the time, if I had the option I would have used it a few times). Some people would say there were always options blah blah blah and you wasted it. but ignoring those people for the time being, here are some unique requirements that I see for this idea to work
- The work needs to be stateless (I.e you don't take it back with you or think about it when you are done with unlike an office job) - a good example of such a job would be a cashier at a shop or working in someone's garden under instructions
- The work needs to be accompishable or your work needs to be effectively usable in small chunks of time (an hour being the minimum seems reasonable)
- Does not require a lot of planning or lead time to get in and work (i.e you should be able to get up at 8AM on a Sunday morning and decide that you want to work for 3 hours that afternoon)
I have not found any place (other than volunteer work) or website that would satisfy the above requirements
Would be cool if I could go to a website and view what is available near by in the next 8 hours and pick something

Cool thought!
Monetizing and promoting your blog is already an excellent way to use your time productively, and is in line with the criteria you seek.
Of course, there are quite a number of other things one could do; for example, starting a part-time business or take up some freelance work. Participating in an MLM programme is also a viable option.
Cheers.
