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.
Depends on how much money you need and how much time you want to invest. You could get another entire job if you need something substantial. Anything evenings. Movie theaters, bars, etc. Work will probably suck.
If it's more chill, buying and then fixing and then reselling things is a good way to get side money. If you talk to people you can often sell your labor to do part of that for others. Good with computers? You can help people set up IT stuff or build gamer computers for rich jerks that want CUSTOM but don't know what they're doing. You can also get into things that can be purchased at yard sales / thrift stores / auctions and then refurbished and resold. Reupholster some things and sell them. Derust and oil some tools. Find some weird little niche thing that you don't mind doing. Lots of little cottage industries making custom stuff for nerds. Some people make D&D dice, some people make knife sheaths, some people make T-shirts. Any commodity things you are interested in or can get into "the zone" making or servicing?
