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

    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 see plenty of people that just stream themselves sleeping getting donations and shit. People very much will just give you money freely if you know how to find them.

      Sleeping on a stream? That ain’t workin’! Thats the way you do it: money ain’t for nothing get your checks for free.

        That’s just taking advantage of the gullible. If you’re gullible enough to donate money to someone who streams themselves sleeping, you don’t ever get to complain about any of your financial woes should there be any from it.

        I mean. That steam will cost money so you will need to bring in more than the internet and electricity costs plus the amorization of the equipment. And a bit of non sleeping time.

          You’re aupposed to be at least 13 to have an account here. You might want to fuck off for a couple years when you’re ready for an adult conversation and your reading eyes/listening ears are developed.

          Everyone is watching you suck at reading comprehension, and it doesn’t even have to be like this.

          Maybe a better agression release that doesn’t involve other people? Or at least people who are willing to participate in whstever komd of contest you feel like you need to releive yourself through.

          People are great. I don’t mean to offend, but a generic dislike of people like that is a sign of low self esteem. Or any other of the myriad of mental illnesses we have today. That’s why I asked. This needs to be addressed, simply moving into the mountains is not a solution.

          Again, I don’t want to sound confrontational, but psychiatry has studied this for decades, it’s not a new thing. I wished we stopped making jokes with this subject. If yall dislike people that much, maybe you need some help. I’m saying it sincerely, not to belittle your individual experiences.

              Indeed I do. Here on Lemmy, for instance, anything with news in the name gets blocked. I follow my local news on my own terms by going to the news pages instead of being fed whatever is popular today. This helps a lot. Logically speaking, “news” must include mostly bad things, otherwise it’d be called “sames”, (assuming, as I do, that we live in mostly good times). I’d recommend to everyone, specially people on the younger side, to try to experience life by yourself and connect to people one on one, mass media is a cancer.

              The news is biased towards displaying the worst of humanity. SOME people are terrible. Most are just people, nice in some ways, not so nice in others.

                  Idk where you live but in the last long drives across my country I did, 7h each way, I found just 1 asshole on the whole way, and my asshole finding rate is higher than normal since I drive my parents BMW while respecting speed limits and some people get competitive, weird. Most typical drives across towns, 15m, are completely normal. Sorry to say but your anecdotally experience is not universal. Where I live most people drive responsibly and we have plenty slopes and curves.

              I always return to the line from Men In Black. “A person is smart but people are scared dumb animals and you know it”

              Basically every individual person in a one on one conversation can make for a wonderful interaction, but once you can’t single out an individual to learn how brilliant they are at something you just have a sea of people defined by the lowest common denominator

                I used to think more like that. These last few years though, I’ve really seen the darkness humanity is capable of. Half of America is happily accepting fascism right now. I won’t excuse that away. And it’s far from the only example of what I’m saying.

    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.

        CurseForge shares a slice of their ad revenue with creators, so getting money simply depends on how many people visited your page. Even if a mod is unpopular, you still get a minuscule amount of money.

        I should mention that you get paid in “points”, and these points can be used to redeem money. For example, every 100 points = 5 USD.

    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.

    Kind of, but not much, certainly not anything like a steady income.

    I gave one of those apps a try that give you rewards for installing and playing games. After a couple of years I earned up enough points to get about a $50 gift card. None of the games on it are amazing, but some of them are passably entertaining when you just need to kill some time. They’re all, of course, loaded with ads.

    This is more of theoretical money at this point, but years ago I bought a small quantity of Bitcoin (like less than 0.1 BTC) and I’ve just kind of been sitting on that. It was about $20 when I bought it, it’s worth quite a bit more than that now. If I were to cash out now, it wouldn’t exactly be life-changing money by any stretch of the imagination, but it might get me a crappy used car, or maybe offset the cost of a nice vacation for me and my wife.

    I do the Google opinion reward surveys, which basically pays out as credit for the android app store. Every so often it adds up to enough for me to spring for some paid app I wouldn’t have bought otherwise, or maybe a book or movie or something.

    If you want to count it as online, for a while I did taskrabbit, basically an app to get hired doing odd jobs for people, putting IKEA furniture together, yard work, hanging shelves, etc. That wasn’t a bad side gig if you’re handy, but I don’t have the free time for it these days and it was kind of a pain figuring it out on my taxes at the end of the year.

    Not me, but I have a friend who was a stripper for a while, when she got out of it, she actually made a decent little chunk of money selling her used stripper heels because some foot fetish people are all about that. She figured out that it could be feasible to just buy some heels, wear them around for a few weeks, and sell them for a profit. She decided it was more trouble than it was worth for her but something like that is potentially an option as well, pretty sure used shoes aren’t the only thing with a weird fetish secondary market you could take advantage of if you know where to look to sell them.

    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?

    Do you have skills you can freelance with? I’ve occasionally gotten work on Upwork and there are other platforms that might be viable, but it really matters to find jobs looking for skills you have, and having skills that are in demand. You have a client, not a boss, and whether or not you need to be in meetings depends on the kinds of jobs you go after.

    Only by luck. Got asked to build logic for an online quiz, $200. Occasional focus groups pay $50 or so.

    Not even diet coke money but yes.

    I don’t think that there is much in the way of unskilled boss free, meetings free, online money making because the supply worldwide of people willing to do that work so far exceeds the supply. The average earnings on onlyfans is like $3 a month.

    Yeah, by investing it through an online broker.

    But also a few focus group questionnaires.

    My wife buys and resells furniture and clothing quite a bit. She doesn’t turn a profit but we also spend almost nothing on either as a result.
