Need Quick Side Hustle - Seeking Advice

After almost 2 years of being laid off, I finally started my new job. Before this, I struggled to get by with my consulting business helping small businesses with their operations. My business credit card is nearly maxed out, so I need a side job to improve my cash flow until I receive a few paychecks.

I’m wondering if there are legitimate companies that pay for surveys or product reviews. I’ve been receiving random job opportunity texts that seem like scams. If I can find something that fits with my work schedule, I’m willing to try it. I need to catch up financially!

I sell digital products. It’s been a great side hustle for me while I’m a stay-at-home homeschooling mom.

There are legitimate companies like GLG and Dialectica that offer selective surveys and phone consultations, mainly for investment bankers. Surveys can pay between $30 to $100 for around 15 minutes of work, and my rate for live consultations can go up to $300 per hour.

The challenge is getting enough volume since they screen heavily and it’s invite-only. However, I make an extra $2k to $3k a year with relatively little work, and because they don’t withhold taxes, it’s all profit.

You need to possess deep expertise in an area that others want insight on.

Thanks! Do you think there’s demand for consulting on business law or IP-related matters? I’m not very familiar with this.

Absolutely! There’s a lot of activity in IP, so your knowledge could be valuable.

Thank you for the information. Are those platforms similar to Upwork? I found Upwork to be a waste of time.

No, these are true professional platforms. Not everyone can take the surveys or do the calls, as there’s rigorous screening.

Cool! What’s the onboarding process like and how long does it typically take?

Start here: https://glginsights.com. Create a profile and follow the instructions. It’s been a while, but I remember going through a lot of compliance training. Eventually, you’ll be invited to apply for projects or surveys.

As you successfully complete jobs, you’ll likely get more opportunities, but it can be inconsistent. I might go a month without anything and then make around $900 in just a few days (for about three hours of work).

VG CUBE: AI-Powered Computing. I just started this today; it uses A.I. to generate passive income every day. It’s scalable, so you can start small and reinvest for larger returns. You need a referral code to join, so that link contains mine. Good luck!

I have a Raketun referral code and earned $400 last week for 10 new referrals. Raketun has a referral program giving $40 off to new users, and for every friend referred, you’ll also receive $40 that can be sent to PayPal. You can use this to do a Walmart (or any other store on their app) pickup order for $42 and only pay $2 after the rebate.

Here’s how it works:
:one: Click my referral link: Rakuten: Shop. Get Cash Back. Repeat.
:two: Sign up for free.
:three: The $40 off is a one-time offer, but they have great cash back on other transactions too.
