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.

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 went on omegle with a fake webcam feed of a woman and well... yea... it was easy money

https://app.prolific.com/ for pocket change. It's 99% academic surveys.

I'm a network engineer for a large telecom company. So technically, yes?

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.

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 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.
