Working, with no boss or mates
From home
I’ve been searching a bit but most things are usually, poker, filling polls, things that don’t work. In general shit
I don’t want big money neither. Just something in which there’re no calls, meetings…
You can recommend me whatever you want but if you have experience on it better
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 used to play team fortress 2 for years. One day i got a message on steam from someone saying he’s giving me $600 for my whole inventory. So i guess that counts as making money 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.
Back when the first SD Card adapter for the PS Vita was released it only came with some CAD files. So I ordered like a hundred PCBs from a Chinese manufacturer, alongside the MicroSD slots, soldered them at home and sold them for five bucks a pop on eBay. Cost me less than one buck per piece in parts. I didn’t make a lot, but it was some nice money for a broke student
i sold feet pics to a guy I met on TF2 and made a couple hundred bucks. now he’s going to be my best man at my eventual wedding I’m
I can’t be the only one wondering how that came about.
Okay, so I’m already a natural flirt, and I was going through a hypersexual phase due to undiagnosed bipolar II. He was chatty in voice chat, kinda smug, but funny, and he said I was a good medic, so I was his dedicated pocket medic for weeks. He kept bragging about his big dick, and eventually clicked that he likes when people call him out and insult him, and eventually we got on the topic of findom.
it was really funny, because one minute im bullying him and demanding money, and then the next I’m like “hey wanna play payload”
I also met my boyfriend on TF2, also through my hypersexual issues, but I’m medicated now and we have a stable long distance relationship. Me, my boyfriend, and foot guy all play TF2 together, and we lightly bully each other. My boyfriend knows about me and foot guy’s past, so we dunk on him for it, and he fights back by being better at the game than either of us.
Also, I’ve only seen foot guy’s face once, and my boyfriend has never seen it, so it’ll be extra funny if we don’t meet in person until the wedding lol
Thanks for the explanation. That was going to turn into Lewis Black’s “If it weren’t for my horse, I wouldn’t have spent that year in college”.
When my wife was in university and had weird down times she would do Amazon MTurk. It was pre-pandemic, so I don’t know how things are now, but I think she was regularly getting $200-400 a month (covered her car payment).
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.
Are you able to give more detail about why? Like was it the tariffs or some facet of social policy?
That was what happened to my friends eBay store here in Canada. Tariffs meant he couldn’t ship to the states anymore and the ongoing Canada Post strikes made it difficult to ship within Canada. Still possible but just not really worth it anymore.
I’m a trans latina and fled the country for my safety. I don’t want to reopen it while I have visa restrictions

A friend, not me. He used to do voice acting, people requested small scripts (3 or 4 sentences) and he sent them an audio. He was completely amateur, and without any equipment (besides his phone) he made like 10-20€ per week with no effort. I don’t know what app/website he used tho :/
I hate to say it but if you want to make a living you kinda have to interact with other people a bit. I’m currently an independent contractor for one of my previous employees. I work when I want for as long as I want, my only requirement is to work less than 32 hours a week and of course to keep my client happy. I have a boss and I do attend some meetings but it’s incredibly chill. I would however much prefer if they hired me on full time, but at this point I don’t think that’s happening.
Otherwise at home there’s always some kind of service you can provide. Painting is easy to pick up and some landlords repaint every property between tenants. Any kind of converting trash into something with value is also a good option. For example I know of a guy in town who collects furniture people leave out for trash and refurbishes it to resell.
If you’re handy you could even go the extreme route of house flipping, which usually is most profitable if you live in the houses you flip. I’ve seen a few run down houses bought from estates sell for way below market value then flip for much more, since families just want mom and dad’s house sold, and buyers often don’t want to do a ton of repairs before moving in. Alternatively buying up run down properties to repair and rent out might be a good path to a solid living too
Or just go all in with a small business. I’ve not seen sellers of affordable and decent looking Corsi-Rosenthal boxes for example, or if you can find some kind of furniture/device for special needs people there’s usually a huge premium charged for those as “medical devices” which are often paid for by Medicaid so it would be very easy to undercut established brands that way. In a similar vein there’s a huge hole in the market for durable furniture. The Amish famously make extremely high quality furniture that holds incredible value due to its high durability, and you don’t have to be Amish to make high quality furniture. Or just find something else you can sell. I saw you mention some programming skills, maybe you can make some kind of B2B app. I’ve seen it said that anything that’s a spreadsheet can be turned into an app and sold to businesses. Or just make a bunch of phone apps and see if any happen to take off.
(In the US) If you make a medical device paid for by Medicaid, you have to have FDA approval. Which honestly, now may be the time to try and get it?
So specifically I was thinking of adaptive furniture. There’s special programs in some states for folks with long term disabilities to help with purchasing adaptive furniture. Think restraints/locks/alarms for things that a cognitively impaired person might need, such as if they get up in the middle of the night, or door alarms and the like.
For a real world example, my youngest was diagnosed with level 3 autism. Because of his diagnosis he qualifies for our states Medicaid expansion which is intended to cover all of the random costs of having a special needs child that normal kids wouldn’t cost, like door alarms, a fridge lock or we almost had them pay for putting a fence in our yard because he tries to run when outside. We were looking at what could be described as a crib for kids too big for a crib, and all of the options cost a minimum of $10k and a median of about $20k. That would be an extremely easy market to disrupt with a lower cost solution since I highly doubt it actually costs anywhere near $10k to make such a bed
I highly doubt it actually costs anywhere near $10k to make such a bed.
What I’m saying is that adaptive furniture is likely a registered class II medical device which goes through FDA approval. So the bed isn’t 10K, but (a portion) the FDA registration is. The consequences of failing to register something that qualifies as medical devices are 1) fines 2) payments to anyone harmed and/or 3) time in federal prison.
Sure you could easily “disrupt” the market, but the market could easily disrupt the rest of your life.
restraints/locks/alarms for things that a cognitively impaired person might need, such as if they get up in the middle of the night
Restraints are 100% a medical device and I would highly doubt you would either be allowed to purchase or be reimbursed for one that’s not approved.
Edited to add: https://www.registrarcorp.com/blog/medical-devices/medical-device-registration/fda-class-ii-medical-devices/ A quick explainer (marketing from a business that helps companies register devices) since the FDA website is … not super clear nor helpful.
Huh TIL thank you
Yes but it was obviously never enough to pay bills or purchase anything that was really expensive. I’ve been using these websites and apps that are referred to as “beer money sites/apps” on and off for over the past decade. I don’t know exactly how much I’ve made over the years but I do know it was definitely several hundreds of dollars. I used to use them to buy cheap games and older consoles from Amazon but my most recent purchase was a cheap laptop that I bought about a year ago.
They’re not great but they are currently the only way for me to buy stuff online.
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!
You’d probably make more if you didn’t post dead links to it
It works fine for me, but it’s https://jimmyhalliday.bandcamp.com/ if you wanna hear it!
E: Oh, it only had one forward slash, my client must have just parsed it lol
lol
i went on omegle with a fake webcam feed of a woman and well… yea… it was easy money
