Need help making money!

Instead of selling my body… I’m looking to make some money online. At the moment I’m using Qmee (survey site). It’s not bad but it’s pennies for what seems like hours of time.

I’m in the UK, I don’t drive… and life is just being a pain at the moment. I’m in a bit of debt after years of abusing myself.

I’m now on the straight and narrow and looking after myself and really want to get my life back on track.

My mental health has taken quite a dip the last couple of years and I’ve lost a lot of my confidence and self-worth!

So I’m rebuilding myself; I’m really struggling with bills and it’s weighing me down.

I’ll just mention I have no capital or savings.

With no capital and no savings, finding PASSIVE income may be a bit of a challenge. You could start with active income though in the meantime.

An idea… an online poster business. You can print and ship a print - or a PDF download.

You don’t buy any physical stock until you sell one online.

This is a good idea.

Do you mean you create a poster? Or do you offer to make people posters? Or are you making an art poster that has nothing to do with an event? Nothing that would be dated? Would you sell that through Canva or Etsy?

Create poster design… sell it… ship real poster… Etsy - overcrowded. Try your own site.

Great idea but oversaturated niche now unfortunately.

It’s not passive but you could start an Etsy shop and sell customizable digital downloads/printables for kids’ birthdays and/or holidays. You could design original printables using Canva. YouTube has some great how-to videos.

Make customizable items such as invitations, flag banners, cake toppers, cupcake toppers/wrappers, water bottle labels, chocolate bar labels, table tents, welcome signs, thank you bag tags, etc. Themes are endless. Don’t use copyrighted images. Create the invitations so they can be texted, emailed, or printed while all other items are strictly printable. Video invitations sell for even more.

Make the names and ages customizable. Parents can use a free Canva account to edit the name/age after purchasing and prior to printing.

“Host” the digital downloads on Canva. Parents get the Canva link by purchasing on Etsy.

Use free mockup images to create high-quality realistic listing images for your Etsy shop. Follow YouTube videos about Etsy listing images and optimizing keywords/descriptions.

There are many different types of practicable printables you can make. Not just birthday/holiday. You can also offer an additional service to edit the name/age for a fee for non-techy parents and after you edit, you just send them the Canva link via Etsy.

Hi, I DM’d you regarding some sites etc. that can be helpful.

Well, I applaud you. The first sentence got me. I’m so glad to hear that.

I’m in the same boat as the first person asking about legitimate ways to make money off the Internet. I’m in disabled senior living in a care facility and so I’m limited as to what I can do but some of the suggestions sound interesting. I’d like to know specifically where to go for the information and how to get started and the cost if any. Thanks.

I know this is an old-fashioned idea and just for a limited time. But companies used to send out Christmas cards and had the envelopes hand-lettered. Now that’s something I could do and I have terrific handwriting. Does anyone know of a company that would want to have this done?

Hi! I work online while I’m at university! It’s called beermoney, as I can’t get a stable job because of the amount of time my studies require, I do online assignments when I have free time. The best websites are Prolific and PaidViewpoint but if you want to know more I have grouped all the websites/apps in a linktree. Good luck!

It takes not too long. All channels are monetized. Can sell them for extra income.

Robbing a bank with a good plan isn’t that bad; they have insurance so you’re not really stealing money from someone.

I reliably make a few hundred off of market research websites. You get paid to product test/app testing/market feedback/advertisements… etc.

Here is a good write-up about the topic if you want to learn more:

Happy to answer any questions!

There are a lot of methods for making passive income. Now have one project in which you need to leave only your computer working and share your unnecessary internet and earn points that you will exchange for tokens that you can sell on the crypto markets. Now the price of 1 token is $2.6. Easily for one month you can earn more than $200 without the need to do something. If you want more information feel free to message me!

Take a look at what I did and try one of those side hustles.
