Paul was a tent maker. Did he make tents at night? He earned an income somehow. In 1 Thessalonians we read were Paul eludes to this second job. His reason for doing so was not to be a burden to those in which he would reach and preach. Paul like so many great people of the faith kept long hours. Here is the reference...
"As apostles of Christ we could have been a burden to you, but we were gentle among you, like a mother caring for her little children. We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us. Surely you remember, brothers, our toil and hardship; we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you."
