Default How to make extra cash as a comm. pilot?

A little background on me, as this is my first post here:

I am in my mid-20s and am a recent graduate of an aviation school in southwest Michigan. I am an instrument rated commercial pilot, single- and multi-engine. I am not a CFI. Unlike when I started my degree in aviation a few years ago, I do not want to be a career pilot. I enjoy flying but have chosen to go the entrepreneur route instead. That being said, I would still like to be active in the aviation world (and get paid for it, if possible!)

What I'm looking for is this: ideas for making money as a pilot on a part-time bases: a weekend job - something I could do here and there for a few extra dollars.

For example, a company who needs an extra pilot every once in a while to fly skydivers, or flying people around on scenic rides (in which I would land back at my point of origin, of course, so as not to step outside the limitations of my commercial pilot privileges.)

Please throw out any ideas you have!

I look forward to being a part of this forum.
