Location: Missouri | I know this has been discussed before, but. Those of you who earn some mad money or your fun money from home, in your free time, what do you do?
I'll say right off the bat that direct sales/network marketing is NOT for me. Been there, tried that, hated it.
Anyway, I'd really like to fund a few barrel races per month this spring/summer without dipping into our budget, and I'm trying to figure out what I can do to meet that goal. What's worked for you? TIA! |

| Try MTURK. You will want to get some scripts that filter out bad hits. My husband can average about $8.00 an hour. I am not as quick as he is. |

Thanks ! How often and how do you get paid? I'm assuming paypal....
What do you mean by 'scripts?' And by bad hits....do you mean scammers that won't actually pay you, or.....? |

You get paid whenever you want. You can have the money transfered into your account. It's through Amazon. You can also use the money to buy off of amazon or get a card.
Hits can be a survey, transcription, editing, and doing business cards. I know there are other types of hits but can't think of them.
It can be boring but there is no human interaction so it's good for introverts like me lol.
There are probably youtube video tutorials on how to get it set up.
Hit Scraper is a type of script that you can install once you get your account set up.
Remember to return hits you decide not to finish otherwise it will mess up your rating. |

| It can be interesting too. I have had some very interesting surveys and my husband actually contacted one place after doing a survey about adoption. Then they ended up paying him for more surveys.
They do slow down in the summer and pick back up in the fall and winter. |

I actually really like surveys! Good to know about the lull in nicer weather. |

| There is a local woman who does meal prep's for her husbands co-workers as a side job, and holy smokes she's doing well! Just a meat and a vegi, in a little container that they come pick up weekly, or whenever they want it. They return their containers so they're re-used, and her food is really pretty good! |

There's only one person in our county, that I know of, who does this and she is turning business away she is so overwhelmed with orders. |
