One classic example would be to spend time teaching others. Whether this is generating an online course or tutoring/teaching in person, $100 a week is a pretty realistic goal if you're willing to spend the time.
Still, it's probably a more efficient use of time to either work towards a better paying career move for long term income, or just cut expenses.
- ryanSrich 10y ago> Whether this is generating an online course Seems like an incredible amount of work for not a lot of payoff. I attempted to create an online course before and stopped around 3 months in because I couldn't see an end in sight. The amount of research and planning that goes into a quality online course is massive. This is why most online courses are through larger organizations where professors are teaching an already existing curriculum. I got the sense that the OP was looking for "dumb" easy ways to generate $100/week.
- mathgeek 10y agoIt really depends on what type of online course you're talking about. A MOOC-style course is certainly all the rage these days, but a good old fashioned text course is still marketable, whether you promote it as a book or a blog-style site.
- lukewrites 10y agoGood suggestion. It's pretty easy to get $100/wk for one to two hours of tutoring. Figure you'll need a few months of earning less hourly to (a) learn how to teach and (b) build a reputation. Once you've got an idea of what you're doing, you can make a good amount with little effort. I do some CS tutoring on the side. I don't prep, and the hour with the kids is generally enjoyable. Easy hundred bucks. While one-to-one teaching/tutoring probably isn't much a career boost, it can be rewarding in other ways.
