Money money money moooon-eee....

[tabaqui]

So - anyone have any ideas about online work that could pay like...three to five hundred dollars a month? Like a craigslist thing or...something. I dunno.

Or even a real-world thing. I just desperately need a little extra every month. I love my job but the pay is shite, and i'm getting behind.

Any suggestions of things to look into? I'm so frustrated, because where i live (teeny tiny rural town) there are not a lot of options.

Thanks!

I applied at a place i'd seen online and they were like 'no, you suck'. Later i saw other people who had applied and were like 'it was really, really, really hard to hear the test tape' (which it was), and the directions were very unclear.

So i'm going to try again, but it was disappointing. I mean - I type well, and quickly, and know spelling and grammar. Frustrating.

Thanks!

TBH I gave this a try and failed miserably. Took me by surprise because I thought I'd done pretty well and understood what they wanted, but... alas, no.

Re: Money money money moooon-eee....

[tabaqui]

Right? Same. I was so confused. I followed the directions and made sure I did what they said to do....

Did you try TranscribeMe, too? I felt like an idiot because it seemed pretty straightforward and I got excited thinking I could do this because I'm a fast typist and have lots of time to do it and then... FAIL. I think they give you several chances but I was so discouraged I only made one attempt. :(

Re: Money money money moooon-eee....

[tabaqui]

Yeah, I think that was the one. I was so baffled! And the rejection email was so vague, I dunno what happened.

Re: Money money money moooon-eee....

[tabaqui]

But this makes me feel a bit better.

That makes me feel better, too. I guess it did sound too good to be true...

Something on Fiverr, maybe?

I hate living in a small town too.

Re: Money money money moooon-eee....

[tabaqui]

I...must now go and explore this 'Fiverr'.....
Thanks!

If you're not into writing and self publishing, you can always offer skills to people who do. Editing, cover design, audiobook reading, Web design...if those are things you can do, I mean. I'm not sure how easy it is to break into it (probably need a portfolio) but...it's a thing, anyway!

Re: Money money money moooon-eee....

[tabaqui]

I'd self-publish if i thought it would make money quickly and steadily, but i kind of doubt it. Things like that take months, and i'm rather strapped for cash *now*.

Though it's a thought for the future. Of the others - I can only do one reliably and another spottily and the other two not at all.

i'm considering tolling craigslist with a 'will research for money' posting. We shall see! Thanks.

In an ideal world, this would be great. But let me tell you... I'm trying to break into freelance editing for self published writers right now and it sucks. You know why? Because the established writers already have editors or friends who do it for free, and the newbie writers don't have the money to pay you so they find friends to do it for free. Now, those friends might not do a very good job... but did I mention it was free?

Re: Money money money moooon-eee....

[tabaqui]

Yeah, that's kinda the way I figured it worked.....

I bookmarked this site a while ago, but I've never actually looked into any of this:
