A lot of people here aren't professional writers, but write in their own free time or for their own pleasure. It's not uncommon, though, wanting (or dreaming) to make "something more" out of it, whether that something more is getting published or getting some extra cash in one's wallet.

This considered, are there some opportunities where one could profit from his/her writing skills?

I'm asking specifically about gigs, ergo side-jobs. Since most of wannabe-writers have, of course, a day-job to pay the bills. I'm not looking for a comprehensive list; I'm just curious of hearing out your ideas and compare them with my own.

I'm ignoring the difference between technical, academic and creative writing here for sake of the question; let's assume any kind of compensated job in a writing area is good enough for an answer.
