My disabled friend just needs to make like $20 a day to afford what she needs.

I know there are a ton of like “fill out surveys to ear money” “play games to earn money” “Do this little task” but all the ones I’ve found give like… $1 an hour.

I know fiverr is an option, but I dunno if that is consistent enough when she needs to get moving.

Any websites that would let her sidegig when she feels up to it and isn’t trash pay?

    Please note that every day thousands of people try to start with streaming/YouTube/TikTok etc. and almost all of them fail. It’s not impossible to make money, but it super hard and most people never make anything. I would never recommend anybody do it with the intent or expectation to make any money. Just do it for the fun of it and if you happen to make some money, great!

      I think that if you have the personality for it and something unique to talk about, i dont think that its that unlikelly. Especially if the target is $20 a day.

      Viewers are very curious and id guess that a steamer with a vissible dissability could attract a fair bit of users. I know its all about exhibiting ones personal side but i’ve seen suggestions here for making porn so it is maybe not that extreme

        There is a survivor bias to big YouTubers. All of the ones who make it to 10,000 subscribers are already beating one in a million odds. It’s a total longshot. That’s why you need to go into it not caring about money. Because it’s super unlikely, like winning the lottery unlikely, that you will make any money at all.

          Yup. I went to school with somebody who was big into youtubing, he had professional Sony software for editing snd everything. The guy only had at most 20 subscribers and he’d been doing it for a while.

          I dont know. Personally i am pretty boring. Made it to 2 x $50 on twitch though before i chose to delete my account. I know that this is nothing t really but still its cool cash for gaming. I did put in an effort but to be fair i wouldn’t watch myself. I dont even watch others steam!

          If you’ve got it in you and kind of have a feeling for what people want (best to look at what you prefers and give them that) then I’d say the odds are a lot better than winning the lottery

        It is possible, but not likely. And even if you can succeed, it usually takes months or often years to build up to $20/day.

        Until you build a youtube channel up to 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time, you are not even eligible to apply to be in the youtube payment program.
