Topic: How do I turn my spare time into money (In The USA) (Read 331 times)

Mind sharing what you come out mate?

did you find some profiteering for your free time?

or have you followed about the Dog Job?

Use your spare time to make videos about your hobbies, if your hobby is playing games, please make a video about the games that are currently
popular in the USA. After that you can upload your video on the YouTube platform, if a lot of people like your video, then you can make money.
I have a friend make videos about how to cook cakes, she makes videos 2-3 times a week, in one year she has managed to make a lot of money
from her hobby.

You don't say!

I do get a little bit from crypto but I don't touch it as to not incur a tax penalty. Long Term Capital gains tax in the US is pretty cool and that's what I'm aiming for.

Cryptocurrency is a good option

Yeah.... That's not how any of this works.

That's just what's called wishful thinking. If that was true every kid would be harry potter and every homeless person a king.


I know there used to be (still is?) a book called the secret that was trying to sell this nonsense to people for a premium. Now that's a way to turn your spare time into money, but I'm not a  scammer so that's not for me.

I think first you need to ask yourself - Who am I? What am I here for? Where am I aiming? And then you know what you really need to do. And if money is needed for this, then it will appear with you by itself, as if you were using magic. And these are not just words, it always works for everyone. Personally, I would do it this way.

10k USD income monthly as Amateur? or that is 10,000 in your own fiat?

That's too High just for a manuscript and essay writer .

Think about what activities you would like to do and make money
after all, there are many examples.
and the opportunities to make money online are still limitless and it doesn't matter which country you live in
talk to friends, maybe create a project together

I can share my example. Covid and lockdown changed the rules and almost everything has moved to the internet. We started thinking with friends about employment opportunities in our free time. We launched several blogs on crypto topic because we are interested in it and work on it when we have free time. We are completely new in crypto, but over the years we have learned a lot not only about crypto, but also about SEO and Google.
I will give you a few examples of our leisure activities:

https://cryptodecks.co - Best crypto
https://iopcommunity.com - The Internet of things (IoT)
https://oilcoin.io - Oilcoin
https://oschain.io - Blockchain technology
https://exponenta.io - Artificial Intelligence

Congratulations, great choice for you!

I suggest you try platform steem.com - there you can monetize your content and get paid for good content !

Mystery shopper!!  I cant give you any leads (sorry no links) but you could make money by posing as a shopper and writing reports on your experience.

I am learning some new courses which can be helpful and is in demand. This just give and added  leverage to provide my services to help others and can do as a freelancing worldwide by posting on freelancing sites. This just opens my wings and also makes me more learned as having new skills just build your profile in future life. So learn something which interest you and later on you can help others.

if you have free time to turn into money you could try some internet activities such as dropshipping with bay / amazon or do paid surveys or affiliate / paid per click programs with your own blog / website

Do you have specific skills? If yes, you can try to offer services on part-time websites or search for a job that can help you earn money. If you can have more income sources, you will have the money without touch your crypto portfolio. Maybe you can browse on the internet to find what jobs you want, so you can start to work or learn about them.

Very well said, in this season as well, people are looking to clear out their space or garage, you can also offer your help for a token especially to the elderly. Time spent with the elderly is never a waste.

Also, since you already mentioned that you have a specialized job, I am thinking, if it is a high end skill job that you think some people will be interested to learn, you can quickly start planning a basic class sort of to get people started on the skill and monetize it, maybe a token. If you are lucky, you will have good turn out with good publicity, and you can make something good for yourself, Apart from the money, you will also derive a level of satisfaction in sharing your knowledge.

Do you like to take photos? Do you already have 100's if not 1000's of photos on your hard drive?
If the quality of your existing photos are decent and are at least 4 megapixels, you could upload them to a stock photography website like Shutterstock or Depositphotos and potentially earn passive income from them without any actual work other than uploading them to the site  

If you have a decent smartphone camera, there are plenty Android and iPhone apps that will allow you to take pictures with your phone and upload them directly to sites where you can sell them.

It will probably take some time before you see any sales but it's the type of passive income that doesn't require any maintenance, once you upload your photos, they are available to buy indefinitely, the same photos can sell over and over again for years    
The more photos you upload the higher the probability that some will sell.
Good luck!

Does Planting Plants now are trending ? i mean here in my country since the pandemic turns people into Jobless , Many of them use their time in gardening , Planting different species of plants and then selling them in good price.

They are also Being creative about the Pots so this add value to the Selling price.

if you have more spare time and skills? why not try having that? Goodluck Mate .

I'm already fluent in two languages. (Greek and English) and I could quickly become fluent in Spanish, I also have an interest in Chinese and Japanese.


But how is that going to get me money?

It's spring time and a lot people start working in their garden. Maybe you can offer your services to people in your neighbourhood and help them clean up their gardens. If you just walk around in your city and look for houses where the garden is not in a good shape there should be plenty of work. Especially older people will be grateful and pay money for your help.

learn languages and you'll have a lot of money

I think there are more opportunities that you can take if you're from US. With those websites that are looking for online workers like being a transcriptionist or any other sort of work like that which you're free to work with flexible time.

I forgot this website that offers those tasks and they're only accepting US residents. But that website is like upwork and fiverr but exclusive only for US residents.

OP here

For the record, I do have a job and I'm not desperate for cash, but I'm looking at all the cool stocks I can buy in the stock market so that I can be rich in the future. Eventually I wanna live off dividends.

Even a little money now, means that I could potentially be financially free. And money now is worth a lot more than money later when you put it in the stock market.

Money + Wise Investing+ Time = Growth


So extra spare time when I don't make more money to invest is time wasted. I wanna get to that point that I'm financially free so that I am the sole master of my destiny. I don't wanna have a boss and I don't want to have my friends give me stuff because I'm not gonna buy them for myself because I don't want to spend the money because I don't have the money to spend.

Get me?

In the US I could even become a human cow if I was desperate enough (it's legal), you're "donating" plasma, and drug companies make a fortune off of you while you get pennies on the dollar on the cost of your own proteins.


For the record dog-walking if I can somehow fit it into my schedule where it doesn't affect me going to the places I love would be okay. Say I have an awkward half hour before work that I can walk a dog and make some money that would be great.

I wish there were job offers like that, like work at construction but only for 1 hour and get some sort of pay, that would be awesome but it's probably difficult for it to work efficiently.

I think I might just look for a day-job that pays more, or maybe I can get another job at night that I can just earn some extra money and pour it all into investing.

Dog Walking ?  Is that a Offered Job in US? sorry I'm kinda Noob but just now that i read about this?

Edit: Have Checked in now and Yes this is Really offering Good amount for 25k salary annually .




Looks Like I need to offer this Here in My country as well lol

If you are good at designing ps, then you can take orders on the Internet to do it, you can have a circle of friends through the introduction of friends to accumulate step by step, or you can pick up work that suits you on Zhubajie.com. Or publish more articles of your professional knowledge on some writing output platforms, so as to expose yourself to a greater extent, let more people know you, and you will naturally have more opportunities.

 Just turn it into and NFT and DeFi it.  Sure-fire winner!

For the person who has regular spare time, on a weekly basis...

Nowadays, you can get rather inexpensive solar that works in almost any climate. Get a part-time job, save up a little money, buy some solar for your roof, and buy and run an Antminer.

No, Dropshipping doesn't mean delivering the product. You are just going to order a product from a website where is cheaper and send it directly to the end customer for premium price which is normally executed from Alibaba to Amazon.

It is very popular here in my place people has been offering their time to deliver or buy what other needs all you need is your own motor cycle and your good to go.
But the only problem they are facing is when there are prankster who would place order and cancel it when they are already at the place or they already bought the order.

How about doing drop shipping from Amazon and other eCommerce sites which is really a profitable business to do with your spare time and it costs you nothing, you are going to act like a middle man.

Rightly said, any new skill will add up to the demand, just we need to see what we are good at and based on our interest need to learn which has a good demand in market or required the skilled users. This will just have an additional benefit to us in terms of our own personal enhancement as well as good opportunity in the world to be a service provider.

Are we talking japanese or underwater welding?

I already have a job and I do it well and it's specialized but underappreciated.

I like your advice more than anything else. I'm really not desperate for cash so learning a new skill is definitely better.
There would be bonus points in learning a new skill while getting paid for it. Maybe if I can get money for fishing or something.

About a year from now I might sell my soul to the government (join the military) just for how valuable the training can be. Plus if I stick around for 20 years I can retire with forever money (although not much and I might not end up needing it to begin with so 20 years of my life is hardly worth it)

I got some extra spare time next week and I wouldn't mind having some extra spare funds since I don't wanna touch my crypto portfolio before it completely moons.

I've thought about dog walking. Any other ideas?
