Working, with no boss or mates
From home
I’ve been searching a bit but most things are usually, poker, filling polls, things that don’t work. In general shit
I don’t want big money neither. Just something in which there’re no calls, meetings…
You can recommend me whatever you want but if you have experience on it better
I’ve made about $20 from the sale of my album , I thought people would like it more. Oh well, it’s not putting me off from making more music!
You’d probably make more if you didn’t post dead links to it
lol
It works fine for me, but it’s https://jimmyhalliday.bandcamp.com/ if you wanna hear it!
E: Oh, it only had one forward slash, my client must have just parsed it lol

100 dollars on YouTube when I was a child on a crappy Ben 10 animation channel. Good times.
Just about the only way I’ve ever made real money has been online in the manner you’re talking about.
I enjoy thrifting and flipping, which is harder than it might seem to be successful at. It requires familiarity with what a good quality item is, a robust knowledge of the kinds of prices you might get for those things and some knowledge of refurbishment. Most flippers will pick one or two things that they specialize in, usually based on an existing hobby, because they already have a baseline knowledge of it by being interested in it. Being willing to clean, replace parts, paint, fix or otherwise renew the item is usually the most consistent way of making a return on investment that might make it worth your time. However, there really are some golden opportunities which sometimes appear and another needed skill is being in tune to where those show up. The estate sale of some eccentric artist who has an amazing antique collection, or the office that’s liquidating a bunch of computers or furniture, will be advertised briefly in some narrow window of view and time unique to your location and to catch it you need to be quick to act and decisive. I made a ton of mistakes early on and learned to be a lot more careful about impulse buying, but I also got good enough at it to make rent.
The other part of being self employed is the dual edged sword of freedom. You are never at work and yet you’re always at work. There’s no time “off” anymore, any day or any hour you might find yourself working and it’s unrelenting. Unless you are remarkably disciplined you will probably never have a “weekend off”. There’s no meetings or bosses to answer to but that also means that if you mess up there’s nobody else to blame but yourself. It has its own challenges and drawbacks, so don’t let yourself be fooled into thinking you wouldn’t find new things to piss you off.
There’s a guy in town who refurbishes old furniture. He watches the local buy/sell pages like a hawk and grabs any nice furniture left out for free, and he’ll refurbish it to resell for a healthy profit. It’s honestly a respectable gig given how much furniture people end up getting rid of, especially if there’s young renters who just have whatever they got from a garage sale and don’t want to move half of their crap to the next place
quality furniture be heavy as fuck though
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.

https://app.prolific.com/ for pocket change. It’s 99% academic surveys.
Well nobody is just going to give you money freely, you know.
I see plenty of people that just stream themselves sleeping getting donations and shit. People very much will just give you money freely if you know how to find them.
Sleeping on a stream? That ain’t workin’! Thats the way you do it: money ain’t for nothing get your checks for free.
That’s just taking advantage of the gullible. If you’re gullible enough to donate money to someone who streams themselves sleeping, you don’t ever get to complain about any of your financial woes should there be any from it.
I mean. That steam will cost money so you will need to bring in more than the internet and electricity costs plus the amorization of the equipment. And a bit of non sleeping time.
i said working. I just don’t want to have bosses, partners, meetings
…Right, so you just want people to give you money freely.
You’re aupposed to be at least 13 to have an account here. You might want to fuck off for a couple years when you’re ready for an adult conversation and your reading eyes/listening ears are developed.
Everyone is watching you suck at reading comprehension, and it doesn’t even have to be like this.
Maybe a better agression release that doesn’t involve other people? Or at least people who are willing to participate in whstever komd of contest you feel like you need to releive yourself through.
How big are your tits?
Do you mind me asking why do you want to avoid (what seems like) people in general?
Have you met people?
I have. They’re terrible.
People are great. I don’t mean to offend, but a generic dislike of people like that is a sign of low self esteem. Or any other of the myriad of mental illnesses we have today. That’s why I asked. This needs to be addressed, simply moving into the mountains is not a solution.
Again, I don’t want to sound confrontational, but psychiatry has studied this for decades, it’s not a new thing. I wished we stopped making jokes with this subject. If yall dislike people that much, maybe you need some help. I’m saying it sincerely, not to belittle your individual experiences.
I’m good, thanks.
You must avoid the news if you’re unaware that people are terrible.
Indeed I do. Here on Lemmy, for instance, anything with news in the name gets blocked. I follow my local news on my own terms by going to the news pages instead of being fed whatever is popular today. This helps a lot. Logically speaking, “news” must include mostly bad things, otherwise it’d be called “sames”, (assuming, as I do, that we live in mostly good times). I’d recommend to everyone, specially people on the younger side, to try to experience life by yourself and connect to people one on one, mass media is a cancer.
Sounds like opting into ignorance actually
Yes. I can’t change the world and I have a life to live.
I always return to the line from Men In Black. “A person is smart but people are scared dumb animals and you know it”
Basically every individual person in a one on one conversation can make for a wonderful interaction, but once you can’t single out an individual to learn how brilliant they are at something you just have a sea of people defined by the lowest common denominator
I used to think more like that. These last few years though, I’ve really seen the darkness humanity is capable of. Half of America is happily accepting fascism right now. I won’t excuse that away. And it’s far from the only example of what I’m saying.
The news is biased towards displaying the worst of humanity. SOME people are terrible. Most are just people, nice in some ways, not so nice in others.
Okay fine. Try driving a car for 15 minutes and then tell me 80% of people aren’t stupid assholes.
Idk where you live but in the last long drives across my country I did, 7h each way, I found just 1 asshole on the whole way, and my asshole finding rate is higher than normal since I drive my parents BMW while respecting speed limits and some people get competitive, weird. Most typical drives across towns, 15m, are completely normal. Sorry to say but your anecdotally experience is not universal. Where I live most people drive responsibly and we have plenty slopes and curves.
Eh. I’d put it at 5% assholes, 80% should have failed driving exam. Granted, this may vary based on region.
No calls, no meetings, no boss.
That limits you to ad-hoc work or personal projects.
You could hunt bug bounties or make something creative such as art or games.

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…
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
I used to play team fortress 2 for years. One day i got a message on steam from someone saying he’s giving me $600 for my whole inventory. So i guess that counts as making money online?
I made $25 once on a content mill website, and there’s some folks who’ve made a decent income churning out such stuff. But given the current climate with AI I don’t know that this is a great option anymore.
Honestly, the best thing to do is look at your current skillset and see what opportunities fit. Most of the stuff where you make real money, unfortunately, will involve some calls and meetings.
As an aside, it’s also not a huge pot of money, but UI testing on Testbirds can have higher-than-average payouts than your usual micro-gig website stuff. It all varies though, and you can’t necessarily bank on what jobs come down the pipe for your consideration.
how many views did the site had?
Taskrabbit has lots of odd jobs that can be done for money if you’re looking for gig work if you’re not solely lookimg for 100% online.
