Looking to do odd jobs in person or online; all the articles talk about Taskrabbit or transcription work or other things like that but I haven’t had any luck with those…. Any good ways you all have at making some extra money? Or just suggestions on what to look into? I live in a decent sized city so I’m hoping that would open up some possibilities as well.

    Computer and phone repairs, maybe. Advertise on college campus if you’re a student, or on nextdoor, or apartment lounge, tell family members, etc. Most of it will be pretty straight forward. If you live in a decent city, chances are there are already repair shops that have warranties and reputation, so you’d be at a huge disadvantage. You only have a large discount and personal relationships to go off of initially, but sometimes that’s all you need. Try to find a shop that’s looking for contractors or part timers (see Best Buy)

    Re-sell thrifted clothes to zoomers. You’ll probably want to visit rich white people neighborhoods if you’re in the US. Depop, Grailed, EBay, and Reddit can be popular choices to sell and gauge a reasonable price.

    The market is saturated at the moment, but just throwing it out: you can make bots for shopping. Commonly used for limited clothes drops. Resellers and collectors tend to use these.

    Selling stolen accounts from data leaks. This is also a difficult market because a lot of sellers will buy the same data leaks so you’re basically in a race to see who can sell it first because the passwords will change. Check shellix(dot)xyz for examples of what I mean. Comparably, you can use stolen credit cards to buy bulk game keys and sell them at a discount on gray markets like G2A and Kinguin.

    Extremely saturated, but you can learn to make beats and hope that an internet rapper not only pays you for the beat, but also make it big and keep using you. Working on Dying used to make crazy beats for all sorts of SoundCloud rappers and now they’re doing lame shit for Drake, but it’s a huge step up.

    You can also do gig work - Uber, food delivery, charging bikes and scooters. Depending on the city, some of the food apps send reps to food events to recruit local chefs to make and sell their meals. You pay for the ingredients and material and they give you a quota, then they’ll deliver for you.

    In South Korea, many people are poor and do these “task apps” to get some extra money. Shit like walking 3000 steps, doing surveys, etc. Basically a huge scam but typically you get something
