Ask HN: What are some side jobs/gigs to make some extra money?

5 points| 15charslong | 4 years ago

Hey everyone, I'm kinda between a rock and a hard place. Without elaborating too much, I kind of need to make some extra money within the next couple months. Not looking for a get rich scheme, but something that could help bring in extra money to help around.

Thanks for taking the time to read, and respond. I'm very grateful for your help.

EDIT: Also sorry I forgot to include I'm not in the US.

I am in a small country there are 6 sport betting sites. I made a bot with selenium which got the betting dáta and found betting arbitrage opportunities regularly. Made some money before i got banned.

You can try handyman work. I just had to hire someone to do some work in the house, they charged me by project but my estimate is their hourly rate was close $100.

I don't have any handyman experience, but it something I think I could probably look into, for small stuff at least.
