if you are looking into something to do, i will advice AI data labeling, here is what you gonna do ,you’ll need a verified U.S. profile account to access most of the tasks. Without it, opportunities are limited. If you can’t create one, you may need to buy a verified account. I use a Labelbox U.S.A profile, switch the location to the U.S.A using your proxy or vpn then connect payment methods PayPal,Stripe wall. Tasks are usually paid weekly, every Friday. With focus and consistency, it’s possible to earn $800–$1,000 per week. Do your research if you’re new to freelancing it will help you before getting started.

Taskrabbit has lots of odd jobs that can be done for money if you’re looking for gig work if you’re not solely lookimg for 100% online.

I made $25 once on a content mill website, and there’s some folks who’ve made a decent income churning out such stuff. But given the current climate with AI I don’t know that this is a great option anymore.

Honestly, the best thing to do is look at your current skillset and see what opportunities fit. Most of the stuff where you make real money, unfortunately, will involve some calls and meetings.

As an aside, it’s also not a huge pot of money, but UI testing on Testbirds can have higher-than-average payouts than your usual micro-gig website stuff. It all varies though, and you can’t necessarily bank on what jobs come down the pipe for your consideration.

I once made around 50 euros designing a keyboard layout for a person I met on Reddit. He did international transfer over bank lol.

I have made money with crypto. Usually I would follow this friends of mine, he tells me when to buy and when to sell. To get it to the bank, you transfer from the exchange to either Coinbase or Binance and then withdraw to your bank there.

I have made money from a website me and by friend was hosting. Used ad services, withdraw to PayPal and then to the bank.

I technically would have made money from YouTube with some thousands of views, but are not opted in to any program there.

I would like to recommend you some freelance job, but I don’t have experience in that field…

I’m in a forum where people are making money off of reddit and other social media, using hordes of accounts, aka voting, etc. not the propaganda bots that reddit barely controls. It’s usually OF, or some dropping links or website. Of course with reddit, it’s hard because they are coming with new ways to detect other methods of evasion

I’ve done some stuff through Appen before, it’s AI training projects mostly, it’s not well paid and the projects I’ve been on became a slog after a few weeks but it’s work from home and you don’t really have a boss. You’re just expected to do your x hours of work on your project(s) per week.

I just did a bit of searching and apparently they lost their contact with Google and they got a lot of people during the pandemic (some have stuck around) so maybe not viable anymore.

I wrote some Minecraft mods and uploaded them to CurseForge. I still get about 5 USD every week. It used to be every 3 to 4 days but I seldomly upload new stuff now. For reference, my projects have 1.6M total downloads combined, 2k weekly.

It’s nowhere near enough for sustaining life, but it’s like pocket money for me to buy games and renew my domain.

I have. I have a site that at its peak was getting around 2.5k views a day, with an audience in a high affinity category for spending money.

I would do better than any other site at answering the search intent of my audience, and would direct people to where they could buy what they were searching for.

I used eBay and Amazon affiliate links to earn a commission whenever people bought things after clicking through my links.

At its height it used to bring in about 7k USD per month in profit. 2.3m in overall credited sales in it’s best year.

Sadly, this model is being completely destroyed by ai search engines that intend to redirect all search traffic to their walled garden of paid advertising.

37 minutes since posting and no one has yet mentioned OnlyFans? Come on Fedi-friends, we can do better.

No calls, no meetings, no boss.

That limits you to ad-hoc work or personal projects.

You could hunt bug bounties or make something creative such as art or games.

You can create designs and upload them to redbubble (stickers printed on demand)! I have some that are basically just anime screenshots and I get like…a couple bucks a month lol. If you actually tried though, you might be able to make some actual money.

edit - I looked and it turns out I get a couple bucks a year. xD But I only really have two designs that sell, so yeah. If I made more designs I’d do better.

My Etsy used to pull about 3-5k a year, not bad as a tertiary income source. I had to shut down because of Trump though.

I’ve made about $20 from the sale of my album , I thought people would like it more. Oh well, it’s not putting me off from making more music!

I work remote, and my company is a remote first company. But I still have talk to people and go to meetings. I take it these are deal breakers for you? Can you code?

Just about the only way I’ve ever made real money has been online in the manner you’re talking about.

I enjoy thrifting and flipping, which is harder than it might seem to be successful at. It requires familiarity with what a good quality item is, a robust knowledge of the kinds of prices you might get for those things and some knowledge of refurbishment. Most flippers will pick one or two things that they specialize in, usually based on an existing hobby, because they already have a baseline knowledge of it by being interested in it. Being willing to clean, replace parts, paint, fix or otherwise renew the item is usually the most consistent way of making a return on investment that might make it worth your time. However, there really are some golden opportunities which sometimes appear and another needed skill is being in tune to where those show up. The estate sale of some eccentric artist who has an amazing antique collection, or the office that’s liquidating a bunch of computers or furniture, will be advertised briefly in some narrow window of view and time unique to your location and to catch it you need to be quick to act and decisive. I made a ton of mistakes early on and learned to be a lot more careful about impulse buying, but I also got good enough at it to make rent.

The other part of being self employed is the dual edged sword of freedom. You are never at work and yet you’re always at work. There’s no time “off” anymore, any day or any hour you might find yourself working and it’s unrelenting. Unless you are remarkably disciplined you will probably never have a “weekend off”. There’s no meetings or bosses to answer to but that also means that if you mess up there’s nobody else to blame but yourself. It has its own challenges and drawbacks, so don’t let yourself be fooled into thinking you wouldn’t find new things to piss you off.
