>>62763>>62764Thanks for such valuable input. Don't know why my comment offended you but I'm glad I'm not a degenerate cunt who gets

>>62770Sugar Daddies and Cam stuff is just a meme here right? Selling your bodies is gross and no self respecting women does that shit.
Back to ur initial response, I totally understand that online work is work too but you cannot compare it to physically getting up and doing shit. That's just common sense.
No. 62776
>>62772It's not a "meme". Plenty of women use sugar daddies in order to pay for their college education. If you were that desperate, you would too. Beggars can't be choosers.
As for making money online, I have no idea how as most everything online is a scam. I babysat throughout secondary school and did my homework while the kids were asleep. I got another child-minding job for four years while in college. I have anxiety too but it's not an excuse. I hated having to deal with parents who were just dying for me to slip up and claim I'm abusing their ~precious child~. In fact, the people I worked with were even worse as some of them looked down on me because I wasn't fully qualified yet and they treated me like a perpetual child who couldn't do basic tasks like mop the floor. I was in constant fear of being left alone and a child choking, I hated making lunch-time conversation with my co-workers and I did everything 150% so that nobody could complain about me being a clueless, lazy, under-qualified teenager to the point where I was fucking exhausted. But I still did it. If you were that desperate, you would too.
You just have to suck it up and get into a routine. If you're that bad then it's worth paying for counselling and meds, not splashing out on computers and clothes because mental health is more important than anything else.
No. 62777
>>62776Listen, everyone's experiences are different. I'm sorry you had to go through that stress but you don't know my circumstances. Being looked down upon because I'm a teenager isn't something I'm worried about. Anxiety has levels.
Also, the computer is for school and I currently have holes in my all clothes (Nope, not the yeezy collection). I'm not desperate to the point of compromising myself or my reputation. I just want to be able to study hard and work from home for the sake of my mental health and my family.
No. 62778
>>62769I did take a deeper look. That's exactly why I responded by questioning you further instead of just replying.
If you reach out for advice, better be ready to be confronted with things that make you uncomfortable. And there's no point in reaching out at all if you're going to discard anything that doesn't fit your fancies.
I pretty much agree with what the rest of the posters say and advise.
No. 62779
>>62777I know they do and I'm sure I don't know your situation but what I'm saying is that working while studying was fucking hard. I ended up with weak and grey hairs, my nails stopped growing, I gained a lot of weight, my skin was in poor condition and I damaged my teeth from grinding them. But when you need money, you need money and it was a short-term solution.
I definitely don't think your situation is as dire as you make it out to be if you've shot down most of the suggestions people have given above and you've talked down girls who are in ACTUAL desperate situations by calling them "gross" and saying that they have "damaged reputations". So you're desperate but not that desperate? There's no need to be such a snob. What have you even thought of doing online, could I ask? Or did you hope we'd be able to point you to some survey website that pays minimum wage? Because if that existed, everyone would know about it and nobody would bother getting an actual job.
Tbh I don't feel sorry for you because you seem like an ass.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to do a job online, but she seems to want one that is easy since she will be busy with her program which doesn't really exist online. E-jobs are largely like doing your own business, so you'll have to spend a shitton of time on them. Gaining a following to the extent where you can get sponsors takes daily posting, months of waiting and luck. Task-monkey jobs are long and pay pennies, translation jobs are usually only to credited people. It's not easy finding a job online.
No. 62794
>>62793tbh most online work just amounts to extra money on the side. For resources try looking at reddit.com/r/beermoney or if you live in a city or college town craigslist can be helpful for such things like focus groups and such for money.
Another thing I found that might bring you money online is tutoring or talking with Chinese students
No. 62802
>>62790>but she seems to want one that is easy since she will be busy with her program which doesn't really exist online. This plus the fact that most of us do have some kind of work ethic and it's pretty insulting to have someone turn their nose up at both real jobs and the jobs women actually get when they are in desperate situations since we've all had to grit our teeth and bear them despite the challenges we've faced. It strikes me as really snobbish and bratty tbh. There are plenty of on-campus jobs I could reccomend to someone with anxiety as I've been there myself but I'm not going to reccomend them to people who just want an "easy" job because they're not bothered to get a real one.
>>62793>simple job that requires little effort. Physical jobs are a last resort for me. And that's exactly why nobody is entertaining you, brat. You came here looking for advice and turned your nose up to people's suggestions. When you seek advice, you should thank whoever is giving it and you can choose to not take it on board.

No. 62866
>>62754First of all, fuck you if you think you'll find an easy job that pays decently online lmao. You won't.
Now the only way to make money online is to have some entrepreneurial skills : Find something you can do (do resumes, build simple portfolio websites, take pictures, draw or make personalised postcards, anything) assuming you have the basic skills then advertise to the right people, usually on specific facebook groups.
Now if you have no skills whatsoever there's very few things you will be able to do online as there's a lot of foreigners accepting pennies for the same job. But if you manage to locate websites where you can advertise freely (Craiglist, facebook, whatever) you might make about $20 a commission which is nothing much but can help you at the end of the month.

>>62754this thread went sour real fast, but anon if you want a lot of money just for clothes and stuff you can find a really tiny like <20 hour a week job. i work online from home all day and its a lot more work than those kind of jobs,
online work =/= easier work
working from home =/= easier
having a company or team that manages you tells you what to do and you just need to show up and do it then clock out and your life isnt consumed by working with no off time = easier
if you have skills some suggestions like proofreading or teaching online for a cheap price is a good idea but if your anxiety is the thing thats getting to you its hard to make money without some kind of interaction that might make you anxious, phone calls or skype calls or anything. the best jobs for people with anxiety are night time/evening jobs, cleaning jobs, stocking jobs, and stuff that just kind of is obviously loner bait. good luck i hope you get clothes without holes one day

I've talked to a co-manager where I work about this recently, this new phenomenon of young adults thinking it's okay to use "Oh I have to go home, I have anxiety" or "I'm bipolar, I can't do this" as excuses at work.
So, do you think we're the first generation in existence to have anxiety? Mood disorders? Panic attacks?
No. We aren't special.
We are however, the first generation to actively make excuses for our laziness and instead of acting like adults we are regressing to childlike states and relying on the internet as a crutch instead of doing the right thing and pushing through. Fuck. It's embarrassing. Excuse after excuse after excuse. Every single person giving their life story as an excuse to their behavior. That isn't how life works, that isn't how the real world works.
You get a fucking job like the rest of us. Your issues are not special. You are not special.
I struggled with this when I was younger, and I spent ages 18 and 19 unemployed, broke, and completely depressed thinking I wouldn't ever be capable of working around people.
Now I'm in my early 20s and cringing at how I acted when I was younger, like a melodramatic brat. Work sucks, no shit. I deal with a lot of bullshit–but so does everybody else. I struggle, I feel anger over how it feels like I put forth so much effort and get little in return but for fucksake so does EVERYBODY ELSE.
You can spend your life crying in your bedroom and spending hours on the internet making excuse after excuse as to why you can't put in your dues like the rest of us but at the end of the day you're only hurting yourself and your ability to interact with other humans. You'll spend the rest of your life as a parasite relying on other people and bursting into tears every time a stranger looks at you funny. Have fun with that.

Yeah sure if you're a stem major you may be fine

Do you really think we should just accept the current circumstances in our world, with the real estate bubbles and lower wages that barely sustain a decent living? With the collapse of our ecosystem and fast growing world population that at the same time makes human life worth nothing?
Sure, go ahead and be a fucking sheep, gobble up all the shit that the society wants you to swallow. But I will never be content with the way things are going even though I do have a job. Social anxiety is common mostly because a lot of young adults get to realize that working hard doesn't net you much. And sometimes, not even working smart. What's the point in doing anything with high expectations of our modern day society that describes success and value in terms of money. The social media just make it worse.
Go tell people that studied a non meme degree and can't find work, tell them in their face how to get over themselves. Or go tell someone that is overqualified doing some shitty job with shitty hours after putting aprox 5 years into university, to get over with depression and muh feelings. Go fucking neck yourself.

Most of this thread is a bunch of bullshit arguing, does anyone have actual advice on this?
I'm in school and my program gets really busy on and off, so I need flexible work. It's okay if the pay isn't great, I just want to supplement my pocket money.
I signed up for Amazon Mechanical Turk, but they seem to pay like shit for the work you do. I like taking surveys and would do things like that or being a research guinea pig for money. I'm also a pretty good writer, have good manners, done copywriting, and can do tech support, so I've thought about flexible or part-time work in any of those.

All of us have found it difficult to find and keep a decent job for at least the past forty years. Millennials are not special nor are they different from, say, gen x in this regard.
They just pretend it's harder for them and think if they bitch about it long enough, people will believe them.
Kind of like how millennials latched on to identity politics and ruined the Democratic Party with its BS 'progressive' concerns.
No one cares about who you sleep with, your self dx'ed mental illness, how you identify, or what color your skin is. None of these things make you special or interesting or anything. Welcome to the human race and the world of grown ups. God, I hate millennials. I can't wait for everyone to figure out that you're the y2k version of boomers, only more autistic.

The stuff I've been doing to earn money online:
If you have some money to invest you can use robin hood app to start investing in stocks. I'd recommend SERIOUSLY doing your research first, though. It's not going to be as good as a real firm or other apps, but it's completely free so long as you don't fuck up or apply for their gold membership, which I wouldn't recommend at all. I've made a few thousand dollars but it's better for long term investments. Penny stocks can be profitable short term, but, like I said, you have to really do your homework. There's a couple good youtube channels if you look up robin hood and general advice. There's also a thread on /biz/ but it's generally a bad place for advice, good place to see people invest in stuff you shouldn't. You might find some good tips from time to time but tread extremely carefully. You can obviously also lose money if you're not careful.
Only other thing I can think of would probably be fiverr. If you have any marketable skill (I do image editing and voice over) you can usually charge a decent amount depending on the type of content they want. If you do something with sound editing or voice you can offer more incentives like adding in copyright free music or sound effects for extra charges. Take a look at the best people in the field you want to go into there and start doing something kind of alike, then market out to your facebook, twitter, etc and you'll eventually start showing up higher on searches. Make sure you use tags too. Don't fuck up and always go out of your way for good feed back, don't shill people out of stuff if you're tired or depressed. Always do your work.
I usually make a couple thousand a month, sometimes more depending on how much I put into it, but I have another job so I don't have as much time as I'd like to for it.

>>69643>>69668Sorry totally forgot about this thread, but the tips I'd give would probably be:
I have cards made and hand them out to people if we get into talking what I do for a living and they seem interested. It has less to do with online income in that case, but if you're a social outgoing person and don't hand them out whilly nilly, only when the person seems like they need someone for that specific area, you'll get some clients. I get a lot of work through facebook when someone just sends me a message going "Oh right, you do blank, right? blank recommended me to you." Sometimes people I've worked with on fiverr will contact me later on for other products or projects, or refer friends to me. You have to be at a pretty high level for the trade you're offering, but offer a higher level "better" option on your page that makes the others seem less desirable. You'll still get people who pick the 5 buck option occasionally, but less and less often. Also it helps to send people a quick email or message a couple weeks after and ask them if the stuff you supplied them with worked for whatever project they were using it for, when I do that I get more outreach for work later on I've noticed. Just pretty much networking and building relationships with your clients. I've gotten some good stuff for my resume/portfolio specifically because I reached out and found out what the fuck I was working on, so I'd recommend it. Also, if you can, have a specialized website with samples of your work where you negotiate without fiverr. Once you start to do it more you'll get more work.
The only problem I've had is, like I said, I don't have enough time. I sometimes have to wait list people and they'll end up going with someone else. It's not a shit humblebrag but it helps that the things I do on there I also often utilize at work so I've gotten a shit ton of practice and time in, you have to really invest in the trade you're selling or they'll go with someone who's putting more into it. Also deliver the best quality of work you can, if something looks fucked up but you've already moved on and you just noticed it hours later go back, open it back up, and fix it. Start over if you have to. Don't undervalue yourself, if it's a big project that requires hours make sure you have an option on your page that reflects the price mark, don't get into the "ugh this is only 10 dollars fuck it!" mindset. Do it like thousands of people will see or hear it, because despite what you think, sometimes they really do use your stuff on things that end up getting seriously big and you don't want it to reflect poorly on you, you want people to hear it and try to seek you out for their shit.
>>69679Robinhood's kind of just baby's first stocktrading app. It doesn't have all the listings that a normal trader would but it's free and without the normal fees you pay per trade. I'd recommend watching some youtube videoes about it and generally trying to understand stocks a little before you jump in, but there's a lot of good information out there now. (also you can't pull your funds out for 60 days so don't put your entire savings in, just a warning)

Women have a wide variety of motivations, philosophies, priorities, shortcomings, and skills because we're fucking humans. We shouldn't need to all be the perfect example of female excellence to be treated as such. To generalize women so much that you think the existence of sex workers reflects on us as a whole is way more misogynistic than anything the average sex worker is doing.
It shouldn't matter if there are women out there who are the embodiment of the worst most patriarchal female stereotype you can think of.

>>82569that's fine but why does that make you think that women in general have a shit work ethic? Even though sex work is more accepted now it's still a vast minority of women.
If your perception of women can be worsened by the behavior of a small class of women, how can you ever expect us to be treated as equals and respected in society? There's always going to be dumb, lazy, scheming, scamming, manipulative, and evil women, as well as combinations of all of those because that's true of any group. The whole problem is that we're objectified so much that people see the actions of a few women as a reflection of us all. Whereas with men, if you do the same thing you're seen as a misandrist. Men are often assumed to be competent and superior until they prove otherwise and women are often assumed to be incompetent and inferior until they prove otherwise.

>>115534I once ranked in $16 in a under a week on Amazon Mturk. I was able to do this during my break time at work, so no time wasted.
I've been kind of desperate to do the depop/poshmark thing for a few weeks. I'll have like $100 to my name once rent is due and I got some bills I want to help pay and groceries to buy.
If one day I'm super desperate for cash I hope someone has a psoriasis on feet fetish KEK
In the meantime, I might try doing a few art commissions.

>>116555Seconded.
Although I prefer lionbridge - consistent work, decent pay! I used to work as a rater and it was great…only quit bc I started doing sw online which pays a lot better.
But DO NOT go the sw route unless you really want to! Once you start, you can never go back.

>>116617>>116583>>116239Sorry for the late reply.
The work is completely anonymous, all you do is send and answer to messages on your computer, never any videos or calls or anything related to you in person.
It pays per message sent, and how much one can earn in an hour depends on how fast you can type and whether there are enough messages to be answered.
I'd rather not advertise the company, since they're super strict about any online talk, but I found it when I googled "chat operator job Europe", it's mentioned on the first page results. There are several companies in the same field, the one I work for is European, but I know there are some American ones as well.
It's obviously pretty much slave labor, but as long as I'm residing in this banana republic of a EU country, it does pay some bills.

>>116885Nope, it's a different one, but the Texkings seems like a similar gig, though not available in my location. American one that I found is called Chatoperatorjobs.com
Sure you can find threads about all of these companies in reddit and elsewhere, no matter how strict their policies are.
>>116889I actually tried Gotranscript myself, but I was so ridiculously slow doing it that I gave up, it took me like more than 2 hours for a 10 minute file, pathetic.
No. 116899
>>116891It's really good that you gave up. The pay is insanely low for the work that you do and the editors are getting way more aggressive and unfair with ratings these days. I started way back when you could have easily climbed to the editor status in matter of days which meant better pay for presumably less work. There was a larger number of files with decent audio quality and the editors were okay most of the time. Now, it's pointless. It's difficult to maintain a good rating with editors being nitpicky and being an editor isn't that great either because it's more difficult to raise a bad rating (a lot of clients have high standards for the shit audio they give). Rev as terrible as it is at least pays a bit better and there are interesting files to choose from. I have completely stopped doing any transcription or captioning work. The crisp clear audio files are given to the AI, the potato recorded focus groups or foreign people speaking in English are now the staple of human transcribers. Sadly, there are people willing to work with such files and for such a low pay.
sorry for the vent.

No. 388310
>>388307>>388197No, bad advice is letting someone who doesn't appear to know anything about stocks believe it's possible to quit her day job to live off trading stocks. A very small number of people can do that for a living, most of them would be lucky to beat the market in the first place, and they wouldn't begin their education on lolcow of all places.
Sticking to safe, low risk investments with a near guaranteed return is good advice for almost anyone.

>>388310Yeah I will admit I'm a big retard when it comes to stocks, and I don't really want to trust the advice given to me by anons on /biz/ or anywhere else right off the bat cause most of the time it's usually bad on purpose.
Also I tried asking other people IRL and they just told me buy gold.
Maybe I will do some more research before giving this thing a whirl, since I am not too keen on throwing all my hard-earned money down the toilet.
>>388303The rich guy in question was just a regular old boomer with tons of free time on his hands and day-traded. Not some random elitist/insider trader, etc.
He, among other rich boomers I know by word-of-mouth, simply threw their money into the stock market and came out rich with whatever was supposed to be the "big thing" of their times. Unfortunately, they were not really specific on what those things were.
All I can say is FUCK BOOMERS for sucking up all the wealth.

>>388324Playing the stock market is more about looking at trends going on currently and thinking long-term. For example, in my country before COVID the air companies were on average $50, but during COVID they fell to around $25, so I bought a lot of stock in the airlines because I knew COVID was temporary and after travel resumed like normal they'd rebound. I know a few people that did the same for cruise companies. Another example is that during the pandemic, I invested a lot in certain companies that were handling vaccine production because I knew their stocks would go up after the vaccines launched, right now a few people did the same thing when they heard about Ozempic becoming a trend on TikTok. It's about playing the long game, think about what's going on in the world and research stocks for a while before investing in anything. Don't expect anything to happen overnight, or even over months. My airline stock is up from when I bought it, but I'll still have to wait a few years before I see major returns as the market rebounds. Whatever you do, don't believe the whole "Oh only rich people make money on stocks!" because it's just poorfag nonsense: the stock market is a great way to invest money and grow your long-term savings. If you want to learn more about investing, a lot of banks will offer free online courses for potential investors that offer a lot of great information.

>>388324Like other nonna said, to play it safe, look for something that is consistent, has some necessity within society, and within all that, look at how more people are reliant on this particular company overall. I played it safe and decided to invest in one of the biggest banks in the US. I've dived into cryptocurrency and did gain a few double digits during the Dogecoin fiasco, but it was a really high stress investment for my first time. Start with something stable and something you're not going to feel like you need to check in on a weekly basis once you feel confident you're not going to lose. See the profits from that and see how it's going and you can put in more.
I compared the gain percentage of the stock I invested in through all time to how much I'm earning in APY percentage from my high yield savings account and it gave me enough confidence to throw in about $25USD to start, the next time I threw in $100. Next time I get paid and check in I might hold back on contributing to my HYSA and put half of that in the stock I have. That's just my strategy, but definitely don't put in more than you can afford or risk to lose out on.

I already do that because I am a disabled thirdie but I would love to also do something else as a backup

>>410225Classic things like art commissions. If you crochet or knit you can design patterns and sell them, or even make patterns for other people on sites like Fiverr. I do know that designing planners on Canva and then selling them on Etsy is really popular right now. If you look up "digital marketing", there's tons of ideas. These are more like hustles rather than careers (I'm assuming you're not asking for remote jobs), so sorry if it's not helpful.
If you have a lot of free time, you can also use sites that give you money in exchange for reaching certain milestones on apps. I've personally used a couple, it's more like a little side income for when you're desperate though and not really worth it if you have something more stable. I've used gain.gg which is good. I don't recommend Freecash and Swagbucks only because they will eventually ask for a pic of your ID and won't let you withdraw money until you give it to them. If you do this, just go on Reddit and see which offers are worth it/actually possible before doing them.

I'm surprised nobody here has mentioned the survey website called Prolific ( at
https://app.prolific.com ).
It's a really great survey website that I've used on and off for the past few months, usually I have a tab open with the site active because it refreshes automatically for new surveys.
I've done about 30 surveys and I've made a total of ~US$100. The surveys usually pay out in GBP, but there's a new feature that they're testing for USD as well. The surveys are usually short (<5 minutes) and pay 1-3 GBP, but the longer surveys (20+ minutes) have higher payouts (around 10-20 GBP). It pays through PayPal.
Obviously, it's not steady income or anything, but it's still great if you wanna get some extra spending money.

>>424123>whatever secret demographic they wantThe trick is, since they don't check, list yourself as every minority possible. I'm white, black, Asian, Hispanic, Mixed-race, Native-American, and Pacific Islander. My sexuality is straight, gay, bisexual, questioning, and ally. I am blind, deaf, mute, and I also have every mental illness. It's all just for gaudy stats anyway, I never actually "do" the surveys I just click until I'm done. If you say you're every possible demographic, you'll be getting every specialized demographic-specific survey.
