> ut none of that is the main problem with doing an internet business while taking a gig-economy driving position or whatever: you need enough income to stay above water, gig economy roles don't earn much per hour, so you need to spend a lot of hours on them to survive, and then there's not much spare time to work on the business — "exhausted from my 6 hours of doordash driving to make less than 200$ that day" to quote the article. Yep there’s not much here but to do it, or do it on days where they’re not driving. Or early in the morning before driving. Sometimes life is hard — this person is clearly doing their best, but sometimes changing your life requires more and people are capable of growing into it/figuring it out. Getting income is doing the business — it always starts from zero. > Worse than I thought regarding home-hosting from a laptop: "Videos which I would upload patiently from the supermarket seating area, having canceled my home internet service the week I was fired in a bid to save every dollar possible in order to not lose my house and everything I've built." — so they can't host from domestic broadband, because they don't have it. The second suggestion was Oracle free tier. I’m sure there might be problems with that suggestion too but there are infinite possibilities after that as well. Resourcefulness is a skill, and it’s the most important at times like this.
