Ask HN: What are some side jobs/gigs to make some extra money?
Hey everyone, I'm kinda between a rock and a hard place. Without elaborating too much, I kind of need to make some extra money within the next couple months. Not looking for a get rich scheme, but something that could help bring in extra money to help around.
Thanks for taking the time to read, and respond. I'm very grateful for your help.
EDIT: Also sorry I forgot to include I'm not in the US.
- yuppie_scum 5y agoUber/Lift/Grubhub etc Restaurant industry and basically any retail are hiring like mad Amazon Public transit/bus drivers Do you have a truck? Snowplow drivers are making upwards of 200/hr in the northeast this year
- 15charslong 5y agocan you elaborate on the Amazon one?
- yuppie_scum 5y agoI don’t know what I could tell you that a quick google about “Amazon part time jobs” couldn’t
- visox 5y agoI am in a small country there are 6 sport betting sites. I made a bot with selenium which got the betting dáta and found betting arbitrage opportunities regularly. Made some money before i got banned.
- 15charslong 5y agothis actually sounds really interesting, how'd the find you out though?
- visox 5y agofind what ? i read the idea but came up with my own technical solution. obviously pairing bets is not easy and take some computation time but whatever. Dont know OP but it can be build in a week or so. Keep in mind betting sites have conditions for when you can take out money and they will make it hard sometimes. It could be a business if one has enough government Ids (to impersonate) <- which i dont have so i had to give up on the main idea.
- 15charslong 5y agoah yes! sorry I did mean 'they'. Apologies for that. That sounds pretty interesting, but sounds like there are some legal things that need to be considered. I'll look into it. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
- visox 5y agoor perhaps you meant how they (sport betting sites) find what i am doing, well not sure i assume once you make some decent money its not relevant how you did it, they just wont allow it further..
- amerkhalid 5y agoYou can try handyman work. I just had to hire someone to do some work in the house, they charged me by project but my estimate is their hourly rate was close $100.
- 15charslong 5y agoI don't have any handyman experience, but it something I think I could probably look into, for small stuff at least.
