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?

    Is it $20 before or after tax? Can she afford to put some money in it to start with? Is she good at something unique or special?

    If she has the energy, she could pick up streaming or YouTube video… There seems to be some interest at how people with disabilities live and manage everyday hurdles but also their thoughts on life in general!

    Many people with disabilities also can make some money selling art or other services that they might be good at.

    Just consider that making money may in some countries substract from the financial support already offered by whatever country you may be in

      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

    Ironically there will be people on OnlyFans likely willing to pay her money daily to see her.

      It’s definitely not for everyone, but I’ve met a small number of disabled people who do exactly this, for similar reasons.

      Wouldn’t offer it as a suggestion though, kinda feel like people have to come to that decision on their own.

    If she’s native or fluent in English, Cambly is a good choice for teaching online. The pay isn’t that good but it’s something, $10.20 an hour of talk time, or $12 for group classes (which are actually easier). Seems like they’ve had a lot of applicants recently but they are still accepting people, it may just take a while.

    My referral link: https://www.cambly.com/invite/ADAM3261?st=060524&sc=4 Generic link: https://www.cambly.com/tutor/signup?lang=en

    She can reach out to me if she wants some help with getting started teaching online, I’ve been doing it for years.

    best option is some sort of support agent work which allows remote, but you need steady hours.

    if she really can’t hold steady hours for whatever reason then fiverr is the next best option. or look up things like gaming where you can sell in-game currency or resources for money

    What are her qualifications?

    If she has a degree in computer science, DataAnnotation will pay $30-40 an hour to train their coding AI.

      Maybe it’s just me, but they have only ever had a couple of jobs available to actually work, and they are temporary.

    I have no clue exactly, and forgive me if this is inappropriate, but I could imagine porn would work maybe?
