You could suck dicks, or jerk dudes off. You could sell your semen to a sperm bank or if you can’t nut, just collect some and sell it instead. Probably sell pictures of your genitals on the subway. Better yet, what if the sperm bank is hiring? You could be the dude who tastes all the samples to make sure they’re not poisoned.

There’s probably other ways but that’s all I can think of rn.

I've been doing this. You have to apply for it but it's really good pay for bit work if you get in. Still depends on the availability of the tasks as well

Some kind of tutoring. Post/hang fliers for something you’re good at. Like fitness, nutrition, musical instrument, language, math, etc. Also pet sitting. I know Next Door sucks ( 👁 ) but you might have luck working an angle there. People who need help and have some jingle.

1. porn
2. taking free money from cash advance apps (if this still works, the money doesn't need to be paid back, because they want to operate with less regulations, their TOS explicitly say the loans do not need to be paid back, and they will not hit your credit when you don't, you just need to disconnect your bank account before they come to collect)
3. bartending and waiting

What do you do for a nine-to-five? Is there any way to branch out and use your work talents to do side work?

I do plumbing for regular work, so all my side work is just more of the same old same old. I limit myself to every other weekend, and three jobs during the regular week, unless its someone on my street.

What are you good at generally, if you cant/dont do your regular job as side work? Obviously not an exhaustive list but, good with repairing PC’s? Good with coding shit? Good at cooking? Pet sitting? Lawn care? You good at turning wrenches? Im mostly just a grunt so all my suggestions are going to lean heavily towards physical labor of some fashion.

Its not likely to help you much im sure. I really do hope you find something that helps, though.

Computer and phone repairs, maybe. Advertise on college campus if you’re a student, or on nextdoor, or apartment lounge, tell family members, etc. Most of it will be pretty straight forward. If you live in a decent city, chances are there are already repair shops that have warranties and reputation, so you’d be at a huge disadvantage. You only have a large discount and personal relationships to go off of initially, but sometimes that’s all you need. Try to find a shop that’s looking for contractors or part timers (see Best Buy)

Re-sell thrifted clothes to zoomers. You’ll probably want to visit rich white people neighborhoods if you’re in the US. Depop, Grailed, EBay, and Reddit can be popular choices to sell and gauge a reasonable price.

The market is saturated at the moment, but just throwing it out: you can make bots for shopping. Commonly used for limited clothes drops. Resellers and collectors tend to use these.

Selling stolen accounts from data leaks. This is also a difficult market because a lot of sellers will buy the same data leaks so you’re basically in a race to see who can sell it first because the passwords will change. Check shellix(dot)xyz for examples of what I mean. Comparably, you can use stolen credit cards to buy bulk game keys and sell them at a discount on gray markets like G2A and Kinguin.

Extremely saturated, but you can learn to make beats and hope that an internet rapper not only pays you for the beat, but also make it big and keep using you. Working on Dying used to make crazy beats for all sorts of SoundCloud rappers and now they’re doing lame shit for Drake, but it’s a huge step up.

You can also do gig work - Uber, food delivery, charging bikes and scooters. Depending on the city, some of the food apps send reps to food events to recruit local chefs to make and sell their meals. You pay for the ingredients and material and they give you a quota, then they’ll deliver for you.

In South Korea, many people are poor and do these “task apps” to get some extra money. Shit like walking 3000 steps, doing surveys, etc. Basically a huge scam but typically you get something

North Korea hackers stole crypto to fund nuclear program: TRM, Chainalysis

Rethink the problem. You're probably better off getting a better paying job than keeping the one you have AND working a side gig. Changing won't put money in your pocket right away but in the long term you'll be better off. imho.

A lot of grocery stores will let you set your availability and then only schedule you in those times.

Edit: Safeway is a much better employer than Kroger

just get a small loan of a million dollars from your dad

Certain creative things can be good if you have a niche. Etsy kinds of stuff.

I personally used to produce customised gamecube controllers in the smash community. This was essentially spraying the shells, then decal transfers with some extra work on finishing to give them some longevity. A single controller would be £70-100ish depending on how difficult it was to do it properly. The number of people doing this kind of work is astronomically low so you can find a niche for it. People like having custom personalised stuff for their hobbies if they do them a lot. I'd wager similar stuff exists in other competitive games, in tabletop games like warhammer, in tabletop card games like Magic, in DnD games, PC cases, keyboards, mice, etc etc etc. Any hobbies probably have an audience of people interested in personalised stuff, it's a matter of finding what they want personalised and what methods to use to personalise them. High quality printing isn't too expensive to get equipment for, and the rest is fairly easy to figure out with some experimentation.

Bartending, music if you can play anything, surveys (I'm told).

crime /s. More seriously, how about unionizing your workplace? It's a lot of work on the side, but it can also bring some great benefits.

Depends on how much money you need and how much time you want to invest. You could get another entire job if you need something substantial. Anything evenings. Movie theaters, bars, etc. Work will probably suck.

If it's more chill, buying and then fixing and then reselling things is a good way to get side money. If you talk to people you can often sell your labor to do part of that for others. Good with computers? You can help people set up IT stuff or build gamer computers for rich jerks that want CUSTOM but don't know what they're doing. You can also get into things that can be purchased at yard sales / thrift stores / auctions and then refurbished and resold. Reupholster some things and sell them. Derust and oil some tools. Find some weird little niche thing that you don't mind doing. Lots of little cottage industries making custom stuff for nerds. Some people make D&D dice, some people make knife sheaths, some people make T-shirts. Any commodity things you are interested in or can get into "the zone" making or servicing?
