Rush17 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I'm looking for something I can do part time or casual to earn a little extra cheddar for my savings plan. I was curious what methods you guys may know of. I've considered data entry work and selling odd stuff on ebay but am not sold on either. I'm not sure what websites can be trusted for a little compensation. I'm not looking for the world but maybe an extra hundred or two a month if possible. I'm even considering a paper route at the moment but I would like a few more options. if you have any suggestions please share them. I have no super desirable skills but I have worked an office job in the past. curious. thanks for reading. I'm sure some other members may find this an insightful topic.

Mathew Barzal Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 You've worked an office you say? Why don't you drop by and I'll see if I can set you up with an ... 'online gig'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cramarossa Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 If you have A LOT of time on your hands you can try mechanical turk (odd name, I know). Basically you take online surveys. Each pays very little (a few cents to a dollar), but if you have a lot of time to take many surveys then you can scrape together a few bucks here or there. Fetish videos are also big, but I am not endorsing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brilac Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I've worked two jobs a few times before. Back in 2003-2005, I worked Retail 5 days a week, and then at a tourist shop on the Seattle waterfront. The owners owned two stores, and on the days I worked one store, there was fudge and an espresso machine in the back, and they always put me back there. I really liked the fudge, and I always over indulged the customers with samples, and asked them how their coffee drinks were after I made them. I really didn't know how to make espresso drinks, so it was important to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillooet_Hillbilly Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Cutting fire wood. odd jobs handy work is also good. doing jobs people don't like to do is always the best way of making money but stay away from being a straight male escort it's never what is cracked up to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLASSJAW Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 You could try flipping sh-t on ebay/craigslist. Buy low, sell slightly higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 some of these responses are hilarious lol. some good info in the middle too. keep the ideas flowing please! appreciate it. I've looked at the survey route but wasn't sure what site would be a safe and fesible. I've considered investing in trading cards and flipping them but selling stuff on ebay looks challenging to start. I've done the basics but havent listed anything yet.

canucklax Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Peer to Peer loaning is getting more popular. Lending Club is one example. I don't know if there are restrictions on canadians lending to americans or vice versa, or if there is a Canadian specific one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Become a YouTube personality. In all seriousness though, this doesn't really pay well unless you get really well known. Might be good for a few extra bucks, but it's far from reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Get good at a video game and then get people to pay you to play their character while they're at work. I have no idea how that would work... but I head it was a thing, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would consider putting up ads to rack leaves but my body is pretty sore after my work week. if I can get around the whole calculating shipping costs eBay may be worth trying. I have my old pokemon cards I've considered flipping. I recently switched them from a page protector to a sleeve and top loader. there are some websites out there and they give sellers cents on items they sell for sometimes up too 4 or 5 $$. could probably sell mine individually at a fair price.

Cramarossa Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 If you are crafty at all you can make little knick-knacks like bracelets, knit hats, etc and sell them either in person or online. A buddy of my mom's does that. He makes these little bracelets in San Francisco Giants, Oakland A's, and Oakland Raiders colors and goes to the stadiums on game days and stands outside selling them for a dollar each. He makes a decent return on money from drunk fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
