Ethically? Almost none. Unethically? scams.

Those who know will not tell you, lest you become competition.

Exactly this!! Why would someone share their recipe to make money online for free if they can keep the mouth shut and make money for more time..

Lol, lmao even. Welcome to the grind. There aren't many/any easy ways, it wildly varies based off your situation and skillset, and anyone who found any sort of "trick" isn't about to share it.


The "easiest" way online, assuming no particular skills, is probably mechanical turk work. Amazon has a system for it. mturk.com

You get paid barely anything, I mean like literal pennies, to go and do stuff like fill out surveys, categorize photos for AI training datasets, etc. Most people who make any halfway reasonable amount from it are using all sorts of scripts and stuff to maximize how much they can do in the least amount of time.


If you already have money, giving it to an investment banker to handle for you can be enough to live off of, but you need an absurd amount of money to start with in order to just live off dividends.
