Ask Lemmy

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...

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

How big are your tits?

Do you mind me asking why do you want to avoid (what seems like) people in general?

I'm currently attempting it now. I'll bookmark this so I can let you know in the future.

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

I've been on one for about 4 years and have made I think about $600 over that time playing very casually. I know there's way more intense people that can make a bit more but likely still not a living wage, just nice pocket money. Also, if you're outside of the US, they seem to be cutting down on opportunities.

The con is you're essentially selling them your data via polls, app downloads, etc. Pro is money, I guess.

Look up sites owned by Prodege, they're all pretty similar, and they do pay out if you provide real info (e.g. paypal). Most complaints you'll see online about people not getting paid out is because they don't want to provide that, which is fair enough.

Oh also UserTesting, which legit pays out well (10-20USD per 15-30min test), but you need to allow screen/mic recording and it takes a lot more involvement. I imagine investing a bit of time into it could fare pretty decently, but I don't have that kind of energy or time.

Does game currency count? :P
