Money is usually hard to come by, in my experience at least, but every now and then a little job or side hustle comes along that is just a sweet gig.

For me, it was doing some voice-over work for show pilots.

Since I used to work in broadcast journalism (which in itself was probably the best and easiest job I ever had), someone recommended me, and all I had to do was go to a studio and do like 20-30 mins of work, for which I got 500 bucks (the equiv of) in an envelope.

Glorious.

What about you stackers?

Undoubtedly the easiest money I have earned in this last couple of years was when a friend told me that her boss had some bitcoin on a phone, due to a payment she received in a few years previous, she listened to that she had climbed, I looked at the balance of her wallet and wanted that liquid money how much before. 1.5% of the amount more fees for my time. In less than an hour I already had the Fiat in her account and she was happy and I also to earn that money with something that was just in the process of learning. 😁

Note: I must add that they paid me in Fiat in those days I was in my beginnings with Bitcoin and it was more shitcoiner than Bitcoiner, I had not yet awakened from the illusion of the money paper.

What I have been doing since 2011: volunteering for clinical trials. I just got admitted into a study this morning that will pay me $18,000 for 33 days of my time.

Doing what (as specific as you'd like to be)? What do they say in the release they make you sign, in terms of risks, etc?

The trial I'm in now is for a medication to treat schizophrenia. I don't have this condition. I'm just a healthy body from which to observe any possible side effects. I'm going to be at this facility 24/7 till October.

The screening process for every clinical trial includes an informed consent document. This document goes over the purpose of the trial, the procedures involved for volunteers during in-house stay, the possible side effects observed from previous trials, and the compensation breakdown.

This website lists, state by state, where you can do trials at: https://jalr.org/

I used to lower my grandparents' phone brightness, slow down their iPhones, Computer by installing unnecessary apps, and then take money from them to repair it at the store. Easy money every 2–3 months. (Don't judge me though i stopped doing this years ago.)

I worked for a commercial dive company for a while, and we ended up landing a government contract to install a plug in a pool on a military base so that another contracted company could change the pump. Because it was a gov. contract, the gov. dictated our wages. The state wage for commercial diver was $84 an hour and that is what the contract mandated our company to pay us. So after set up, drive, set up, dive, break down, drive, break down we got 6 hours at $84 twice. One for a 5 minute wooden plug install and One for the removal the next day.

edit: There were definitely post work beers those days.

I think there's often a tension between what pays well hourly, versus what is repeatable and consistent.

Interesting, was it for drug testing?

It would be extra easy money if you were in the placebo control group 😄

Was scouted to test out a content creator platform before. After some experience using it, I went for an hour online interview in which the creators asked me for my opinions and hung on my every word. Easiest and most fun $150 I have ever made
