Working, with no boss or mates
From home
I’ve been searching a bit but most things are usually, poker, filling polls, things that don’t work. In general shit
I don’t want big money neither. Just something in which there’re no calls, meetings…
You can recommend me whatever you want but if you have experience on it better

I wrote some Minecraft mods and uploaded them to CurseForge. I still get about 5 USD every week. It used to be every 3 to 4 days but I seldomly upload new stuff now. For reference, my projects have 1.6M total downloads combined, 2k weekly.
It’s nowhere near enough for sustaining life, but it’s like pocket money for me to buy games and renew my domain.
$8,000 a month doesn’t sustain your life? lol wut
2k downloads weekly it looks like not dollars
Oooohhhhhhhh. Okay
downs tools
Tylenol?
$5 per week for the ads on their page(s) that have about 2,000 downloads per week. So $20 a month for 8,000 downloads.
They don’t get a dollar a download.
I just though they mean they have 1.6 million downloads and get 2k weekly in return
how do you get it CurseForge pays you? Donations?
And have you uploaded other ones which didn’t get money?
ThanksCurseForge shares a slice of their ad revenue with creators, so getting money simply depends on how many people visited your page. Even if a mod is unpopular, you still get a minuscule amount of money.
I should mention that you get paid in “points”, and these points can be used to redeem money. For example, every 100 points = 5 USD.
Kind of, but not much, certainly not anything like a steady income.
I gave one of those apps a try that give you rewards for installing and playing games. After a couple of years I earned up enough points to get about a $50 gift card. None of the games on it are amazing, but some of them are passably entertaining when you just need to kill some time. They’re all, of course, loaded with ads.
This is more of theoretical money at this point, but years ago I bought a small quantity of Bitcoin (like less than 0.1 BTC) and I’ve just kind of been sitting on that. It was about $20 when I bought it, it’s worth quite a bit more than that now. If I were to cash out now, it wouldn’t exactly be life-changing money by any stretch of the imagination, but it might get me a crappy used car, or maybe offset the cost of a nice vacation for me and my wife.
I do the Google opinion reward surveys, which basically pays out as credit for the android app store. Every so often it adds up to enough for me to spring for some paid app I wouldn’t have bought otherwise, or maybe a book or movie or something.
If you want to count it as online, for a while I did taskrabbit, basically an app to get hired doing odd jobs for people, putting IKEA furniture together, yard work, hanging shelves, etc. That wasn’t a bad side gig if you’re handy, but I don’t have the free time for it these days and it was kind of a pain figuring it out on my taxes at the end of the year.
Not me, but I have a friend who was a stripper for a while, when she got out of it, she actually made a decent little chunk of money selling her used stripper heels because some foot fetish people are all about that. She figured out that it could be feasible to just buy some heels, wear them around for a few weeks, and sell them for a profit. She decided it was more trouble than it was worth for her but something like that is potentially an option as well, pretty sure used shoes aren’t the only thing with a weird fetish secondary market you could take advantage of if you know where to look to sell them.
prob panties for all the panty sniffers out there
Do you have skills you can freelance with? I’ve occasionally gotten work on Upwork and there are other platforms that might be viable, but it really matters to find jobs looking for skills you have, and having skills that are in demand. You have a client, not a boss, and whether or not you need to be in meetings depends on the kinds of jobs you go after.
I’m a network engineer for a large telecom company. So technically, yes?
37 minutes since posting and no one has yet mentioned OnlyFans? Come on Fedi-friends, we can do better.
good option But im male
While the supply may be higher than the demand, don’t sell yourself short. I believe in you.
If you have a good voice you could try Quinn or something similar. Or just do male porn, that makes a pretty fucking decent income too.
Ah well, you can always start firing emails to whoever saying you’re a Nigerian prince or something…
Lots of men cam.
I mean, feel free to shower off any patriarchal sexism before joining the Red Umbrella.
Wonder if there’s any demand for guys with dad bod, large feet, and early signs of a receding hairline.
My understanding is there’s always demand for feet
Yes. There is.
There’s actually a lot of great communities and material by, about, and for real people.
Dadbod and mature are plenty popular.
Just takes a little wandering off the comercial street of pushing barbies and kens together.
…huh…
i sold feet pics to a guy I met on TF2 and made a couple hundred bucks. now he’s going to be my best man at my eventual wedding I’m
I can’t be the only one wondering how that came about.
Okay, so I’m already a natural flirt, and I was going through a hypersexual phase due to undiagnosed bipolar II. He was chatty in voice chat, kinda smug, but funny, and he said I was a good medic, so I was his dedicated pocket medic for weeks. He kept bragging about his big dick, and eventually clicked that he likes when people call him out and insult him, and eventually we got on the topic of findom.
it was really funny, because one minute im bullying him and demanding money, and then the next I’m like “hey wanna play payload”
I also met my boyfriend on TF2, also through my hypersexual issues, but I’m medicated now and we have a stable long distance relationship. Me, my boyfriend, and foot guy all play TF2 together, and we lightly bully each other. My boyfriend knows about me and foot guy’s past, so we dunk on him for it, and he fights back by being better at the game than either of us.
Also, I’ve only seen foot guy’s face once, and my boyfriend has never seen it, so it’ll be extra funny if we don’t meet in person until the wedding lol
Thanks for the explanation. That was going to turn into Lewis Black’s “If it weren’t for my horse, I wouldn’t have spent that year in college”.
well now I gotta know that story
It’s from ome of Lewis Black’s standup specials…
“Behind me, I heard a young woman of 25 say, “If it weren’t for my horse, I wouldn’t have spent that year in college.” Now, I’m gonna repeat that, because it bears repeating. “If it weren’t for my horse…” as in, giddyup, giddyup, let’s go — “I wouldn’t have spent that year in college,” which is a degree-granting institution. Don’t think about that too long, or BLOOD will shoot out your NOSE!”
He goes on about how a phrase like that will sit on the back of you mind, fester, and cause anyeurisms. Like unfinished TV shows.
hell yeah, I love that
Just about the only way I’ve ever made real money has been online in the manner you’re talking about.
I enjoy thrifting and flipping, which is harder than it might seem to be successful at. It requires familiarity with what a good quality item is, a robust knowledge of the kinds of prices you might get for those things and some knowledge of refurbishment. Most flippers will pick one or two things that they specialize in, usually based on an existing hobby, because they already have a baseline knowledge of it by being interested in it. Being willing to clean, replace parts, paint, fix or otherwise renew the item is usually the most consistent way of making a return on investment that might make it worth your time. However, there really are some golden opportunities which sometimes appear and another needed skill is being in tune to where those show up. The estate sale of some eccentric artist who has an amazing antique collection, or the office that’s liquidating a bunch of computers or furniture, will be advertised briefly in some narrow window of view and time unique to your location and to catch it you need to be quick to act and decisive. I made a ton of mistakes early on and learned to be a lot more careful about impulse buying, but I also got good enough at it to make rent.
The other part of being self employed is the dual edged sword of freedom. You are never at work and yet you’re always at work. There’s no time “off” anymore, any day or any hour you might find yourself working and it’s unrelenting. Unless you are remarkably disciplined you will probably never have a “weekend off”. There’s no meetings or bosses to answer to but that also means that if you mess up there’s nobody else to blame but yourself. It has its own challenges and drawbacks, so don’t let yourself be fooled into thinking you wouldn’t find new things to piss you off.
There’s a guy in town who refurbishes old furniture. He watches the local buy/sell pages like a hawk and grabs any nice furniture left out for free, and he’ll refurbish it to resell for a healthy profit. It’s honestly a respectable gig given how much furniture people end up getting rid of, especially if there’s young renters who just have whatever they got from a garage sale and don’t want to move half of their crap to the next place
quality furniture be heavy as fuck though
And quality furniture will outlast your grandkids!
My Etsy used to pull about 3-5k a year, not bad as a tertiary income source. I had to shut down because of Trump though.
Are you able to give more detail about why? Like was it the tariffs or some facet of social policy?
That was what happened to my friends eBay store here in Canada. Tariffs meant he couldn’t ship to the states anymore and the ongoing Canada Post strikes made it difficult to ship within Canada. Still possible but just not really worth it anymore.
I’m a trans latina and fled the country for my safety. I don’t want to reopen it while I have visa restrictions

Does game currency count? :P
Taskrabbit has lots of odd jobs that can be done for money if you’re looking for gig work if you’re not solely lookimg for 100% online.
I’m currently attempting it now. I’ll bookmark this so I can let you know in the future.
Only by luck. Got asked to build logic for an online quiz, $200. Occasional focus groups pay $50 or so.
Not even diet coke money but yes.
I don’t think that there is much in the way of unskilled boss free, meetings free, online money making because the supply worldwide of people willing to do that work so far exceeds the supply. The average earnings on onlyfans is like $3 a month.
How big are your tits?
Do you mind me asking why do you want to avoid (what seems like) people in general?
Have you met people?
I have. They’re terrible.
People are great. I don’t mean to offend, but a generic dislike of people like that is a sign of low self esteem. Or any other of the myriad of mental illnesses we have today. That’s why I asked. This needs to be addressed, simply moving into the mountains is not a solution.
Again, I don’t want to sound confrontational, but psychiatry has studied this for decades, it’s not a new thing. I wished we stopped making jokes with this subject. If yall dislike people that much, maybe you need some help. I’m saying it sincerely, not to belittle your individual experiences.
You must avoid the news if you’re unaware that people are terrible.
Indeed I do. Here on Lemmy, for instance, anything with news in the name gets blocked. I follow my local news on my own terms by going to the news pages instead of being fed whatever is popular today. This helps a lot. Logically speaking, “news” must include mostly bad things, otherwise it’d be called “sames”, (assuming, as I do, that we live in mostly good times). I’d recommend to everyone, specially people on the younger side, to try to experience life by yourself and connect to people one on one, mass media is a cancer.
Sounds like opting into ignorance actually
Yes. I can’t change the world and I have a life to live.
The news is biased towards displaying the worst of humanity. SOME people are terrible. Most are just people, nice in some ways, not so nice in others.
Okay fine. Try driving a car for 15 minutes and then tell me 80% of people aren’t stupid assholes.
Idk where you live but in the last long drives across my country I did, 7h each way, I found just 1 asshole on the whole way, and my asshole finding rate is higher than normal since I drive my parents BMW while respecting speed limits and some people get competitive, weird. Most typical drives across towns, 15m, are completely normal. Sorry to say but your anecdotally experience is not universal. Where I live most people drive responsibly and we have plenty slopes and curves.
Eh. I’d put it at 5% assholes, 80% should have failed driving exam. Granted, this may vary based on region.
I always return to the line from Men In Black. “A person is smart but people are scared dumb animals and you know it”
Basically every individual person in a one on one conversation can make for a wonderful interaction, but once you can’t single out an individual to learn how brilliant they are at something you just have a sea of people defined by the lowest common denominator
I used to think more like that. These last few years though, I’ve really seen the darkness humanity is capable of. Half of America is happily accepting fascism right now. I won’t excuse that away. And it’s far from the only example of what I’m saying.
I’m good, thanks.
Back when the first SD Card adapter for the PS Vita was released it only came with some CAD files. So I ordered like a hundred PCBs from a Chinese manufacturer, alongside the MicroSD slots, soldered them at home and sold them for five bucks a pop on eBay. Cost me less than one buck per piece in parts. I didn’t make a lot, but it was some nice money for a broke student
