Unless you're desperate for cash, the most effective way to raise your income level is to learn a new skill while updating your resume and networking in that field. Position yourself for the post-pandemic economy. ie. tech.
Any recommendations for someone with a background in logic controls and light IT (industrial background)? What is actually worth investing your time in?
Your background would help you get into the field.
If you are in the suburbs, there are always lawns to cut. Make a simple sign outside your home. "Most lawns $25. Cut, trim, edge blow. 555-555-5555 No contact payment by eTransfer" This works very well, and will generate a small side income, get you outside of the house, fresh air and exercise. From here, it's just letting you imagination run wild... Hire and train some young adults, grow from a single person to mult…

There's a huge market of people who want to purchase managed hosting, not be responsible for their own servers. Think of the customers (such as WordPress developers) of any traditional hosting company like DreamHost. The purpose of HostLaunch is to make it extremely easy to start your own managed hosting business to sell web hosting services in that same market.
I don’t get it. What’s your edge? You basically have no control over anything. Why would the customer go with jsamuel hosting rather than ornornor hosting if we’re Both reselling exactly the same thing? Or why not stay with dreamhost for that matter? What’s the reseller’s edge in that case? Anything goes wrong you have to wait on DO to sort it out. And price wise you can’t do anything that anyone else can’t get from…
Good ole fashion yard work. Despite the unemployment rate, many people are still working and spring is here. Grass is growing, mulch needs spread, etc.
He doesn't even have to bring the mulch - homeowner purchases it and has it delivered, and he just shows up to lay it.
I guess he does this a few times a week - that's a cool thousand bucks on a good week.
1. Teach English by video to children overseas. 2. Get a remote call centre job. 3. The DoorDashes and Uber Eats of the world are doing tremendous business right now, as is Amazon (and they have the Flex delivery service). Instacart was also hiring some 300,000 people. 4. If your friend is the creative or innovative type, there are a ton of competitions being hosted by various companies. You enter enough and the inco…

Sure, I run https://basicbands.com/ . It's a website about watch strap fashion. Most of my income comes from Amazon. I don't make money off the sale of watchbands very much, they're very cheap, so I write posts about watches. This is an example of a money post: https://basicbands.com/the-complete-guide-to-the-seiko-presa... I either write the content myself, or ask watch strap companies to send me pictures. I then li…
Thanks for the description, it's very insightful, especially since I enjoy similar affiliate marketing sites such as https://dappered.com/ and https://www.primermagazine.com/ . I will say that their frequent listicles, however, tends to feel exploitative... Primer currently has "8 Essential Innovations That Make Hot Summers More Bearable" as its headline, which feels like a not-so-subtle "hey, here's some affiliate l…
Have they considered teaching their skills online for money? If they worked in a call center, they probably know how to deal with some really hard things. I'd love to learn how they have patience when dealing with angry customers. At http://joinstream.io , we're building a super easy way to host a monetized livestream using Zoom. We generate a marketing page for you, handle billing, attendee management, and notificat…
You can also create courses on https://udemy.com and on https://youtube.com . A great way to identify good targets is explaining newly launched platforms and how they worked for you and what you learned. There's no guarantee that they'll make you a living wage immediately but they have a decent residual value.

Is it? According to the videos, they outperform delivery drivers bound to cars. Sure, with a car you can easily work in rain, cold, long distance deliveries. But usually it does not pay out to commit full time or to a specific, expensive vehicle. If one does plan to deliver (bulky) non time-critical items , payment drops significantly (almost no tips, fixed fee for each parcel).
Are most uber eats drivers buying cars in order to drive uber? That was not my understanding.
There are some truly awful suggestions here. The question isnt about changing his life by learning to code or setting up a plastics machine (which is pretty cool but takes investment) or starting an affiliate site and then generating traffic, it's about generating income during a global pandemic. 1. Fiverr 2. Mechanical Turk 3. Craigslist Gigs 4. UpWork Can generate $50 by dinner time if you're willing to focus and p…
That brings up a question: What can you do to earn $50 in 24 hours? Unless you already have mturk the waiting period is days to weeks if you're not rejected. Fiverr/Upwork would all require a large amount of luck to make $50 in one day as communication with client and turn-around time could take 12-24 hours before even starting a small one hour project. CL might be the best way to make that money in that time period…
There is shortage of 3D printing filament because of virus, so I've been creating filament and selling it. https://medium.com/endless-filament/make-your-filament-at-ho... This activity also help recycle waste plastic. Production cost of filament is $7.5 per 5kg and filament roll has 850 gram filament and can be sold for $20-30 per spool It's trivial to get the quality right. You can sell rolls on Amazon, eBay and Ets…
I don’t think someone working at a call center has the technical aptitude and financial resources to source and build there own extrusion machine.
Cost is the bigger concern, but at 600-700 $, it's hardly mind-numbing.
