I am from Greece where military service is mandatory for 12 months, meaning no income for a year, and it kills me as I’ve always been a workaholic.
So I have turned to online and passive income ideas to have something going for the rest of my service, but I’m lost with no mentor and not a whole lot of time (approximately 6 hours of free time).
Is there anything I can do that fits within my criteria? Not looking for big bucks or anything, just something like a side hustle.
I do Market Research online. It’s not much, but it’s $500+ a month from the comfort of my home. I product test websites/apps/video games/product changes/advertisements, etc., that fit my demographic.
I wrote a write-up here: https://www.reddit.com/r/OnlineIncomeHustle/comments/1ewda9j/market_research_strategy_explained/
r/onlineincomehustle is a subreddit focused on online hustles, from exploring small business ideas to making $15+ a day online. Success stories are often posted, along with WFH positions!
There are definitely options! You could try freelancing, starting a YouTube channel, or affiliate marketing. It’s all about finding something flexible that fits around your schedule. Stay consistent, and it’ll grow over time! 
Ride the trend in the DePIN sector, and I’m sure you’ll get what you want. Not all projects may take off, but try exploring the Peaqosystem, and you’ll find some decent options there.
Have you tried arbitrage trading bots? I’ve been running one for 2 months.

What’s that?

Is this profitable? What are the risks involved? Although I earn passively through DePIN, I have a couple of them I’m into within the Peaq ecosystem that are basically free to set up, and the incentives are quite decent.

I started with just 1 ETH and now I’m running with 8.1 ETH. Still no issues with the bot. We just need to start it and let it run.
DM me; I have an opportunity for you.
Learn something like affiliate marketing that has the potential to earn passive income in the long run.
You could start a blog and write about your experiences and interests. Then, monetize it through ads and affiliate marketing.
Another option is to start a channel on YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram.
I know of a cool passive income app that mines Bitcoin off your phone. It won’t make you rich, but it did put an extra $100 in my pocket this year. No deposit or purchase needed to start. Just DM me if you’re interested, and I can tell you the name and send you a referral code.
You can blog about the beautiful things regarding the military that don’t compromise national security; this could be a way to make money, especially if you’re monetizing your content.
