How can I make some extra money on the side?

What are some good ways to make money on the side? I'm married and bring home a decent salary but would like to make some extra money on the side. I have a lot of skills that could serve in different capacities: * Superb typist (120 wpm) * Excellent in mathematics and science up to college-level calculus, statistics, and physics. * Great in written communication. * I won a national video game competition and have world-class skills in a select few games. ( I know this isn't a very marketable skill, but I considered opening a video game tutoring web site, charging a fee for personal lessons over XBox Live or PS3 online.) I work 40 hours a week and would only have a couple hours each weeknight to spend on another job or profitable hobby, along with a few hours over the weekend. I'm not interested in any "get rich quick" or "make "X" thousands of dollars from home" schemes. I'd just like to know how I can use my skills to make some extra money. Thank you!
