My disabled friend just needs to make like $20 a day to afford what she needs.
I know there are a ton of like “fill out surveys to ear money” “play games to earn money” “Do this little task” but all the ones I’ve found give like… $1 an hour.
I know fiverr is an option, but I dunno if that is consistent enough when she needs to get moving.
Any websites that would let her sidegig when she feels up to it and isn’t trash pay?

A couple of years ago I was using a transcription service, though that may be of less help nowadays due to AI transcription. Pay was crap, but it was better than nothing for me at the time. The service I was working with seems to have shut down, but you might try https://www.transcribeme.com/freelancers/
Maybe try Amazon’s mechanical Turk? Not sure what the payout is like, but might be enough
I used it years ago and it didn’t pay super great, I’ll have her check though and see what it’s like now.
I hear there are some more complex tasks with better payout, but never used it myself
There was a subreddit … something like “hits worth turking for” or something like that??
“worth turking for” was part of its name, iirc…
There might be other communities identifying higher-paying items, perhaps a Lemmy devoted to that?
Perplexity may be able to find something of the sort…
just hoping that their right-answer finds them, is all!

Ironically there will be people on OnlyFans likely willing to pay her money daily to see her.
It’s definitely not for everyone, but I’ve met a small number of disabled people who do exactly this, for similar reasons.
Wouldn’t offer it as a suggestion though, kinda feel like people have to come to that decision on their own.
This was posted on the site which will not be named quite some time ago, but I figured it might be helpful here. https://remotists.com/
Seems like it might fit the situation. Best of luck to your friend!
Ikea is hiring people for it’s Robolox branch. But generally Chat moderation(aka being a fake chat partner in the more,well, infamous partner seeking platforms) is an option, same goes for normal phone support/callcenter work.
Fiverr is an idea, there are similar jobs as well.

10 people will be hired for Ikea grand total from the entire world fyi
There are a few good freelance transcription gigs online. I did rev.com in high-school and it was really easy. You basically just listen to an audio clip and type out what it’s saying. More difficult clips pay more but I think I was able to get something like 12-14 an hour doing it.
If she’s native or fluent in English, Cambly is a good choice for teaching online. The pay isn’t that good but it’s something, $10.20 an hour of talk time, or $12 for group classes (which are actually easier). Seems like they’ve had a lot of applicants recently but they are still accepting people, it may just take a while.
My referral link: https://www.cambly.com/invite/ADAM3261?st=060524&sc=4 Generic link: https://www.cambly.com/tutor/signup?lang=en
She can reach out to me if she wants some help with getting started teaching online, I’ve been doing it for years.
Search job sites for “search quality rater.” Should be a number of postings for fully remote, part-time, ~$15/hr work. Takes a few weeks to go through the qualifying process, but it’s mostly common sense stuff. Just requires the time commitment - projects will probably want 10-20 hours a week.
I’d say apply some of their specific skills instead of competing at unskilled (and low-pay) labor. Maybe draw illustrations or pictures. Computer programming. Cut videos for some Youtuber…
Sell feet pics
Where though
sidegig when you want and isn’t trash pay
If such a thing existed, everyone would be doing it already.
I’d tell her to research some passive income side hustles on YouTube and do a few of them at once. It’s hard to get started, but once you get the ball rolling it can add up to be a few bucks.
It all depends on how much time / effort she can spend on them. You get out what you put in.
best option is some sort of support agent work which allows remote, but you need steady hours.
if she really can’t hold steady hours for whatever reason then fiverr is the next best option. or look up things like gaming where you can sell in-game currency or resources for money
Any links for the agent work? Does it matter where you’re from?
What are her qualifications?
If she has a degree in computer science, DataAnnotation will pay $30-40 an hour to train their coding AI.
Maybe it’s just me, but they have only ever had a couple of jobs available to actually work, and they are temporary.
I have no clue exactly, and forgive me if this is inappropriate, but I could imagine porn would work maybe?
Only the top 10% earns top cash.
It was about 20$ per day, not top cash
Maybe just feet pics.
If she can draw, she can maybe do comissions.
And if she can’t yet draw, then please get her to invest in:
- “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, the 4th Definitive Edition”, by Betty Edwards
- all the tools recommended in that book
- a charcoals assortment ( I’ve no idea why Betty Edwards doesn’t understand how much easier it makes it to learn?! )
- “The Simple Secret To Better Painting”
- “Mastering Composition”
and then dig-in.
The 1st book many know-about.
The 2nd, much-fewer do, so the advantage that someone has, when they’ve earned the meanings of both, becomes noticeable…
The 3rd? That’s University-level better.
Nobody who’s earned the meanings of all-3 is likely to remain at the bottom-of-the-heap in artwork…
The 1st 2 books, however, are required for competing well.
