I have disabilities that prevent me from riding a bike or driving. My methods of transportation are walking and the bus.
I’m already a freelancer, and while I used to get tons of work, I’ve been failing to do so this year.
I’ve tried:
DoorDash: they time your deliveries, so while you can sign up without a car, you can’t deliver on foot. My friend who dashes with a car no longer wants to do it, so I can’t team up with her.
Rover: clients wanted me to come by their homes when the buses were no longer running. I had to Uber to and from their homes and broke even.
Fiverr: no clients in 5 years through this platform despite advertising.
Upwork: this is a pay-to-play system.
Instacart: requires a license.
Mechanical Turk: wouldn’t send me my OTP code, so I had to keep requesting it. Now I am locked out of my Amazon account.
Cloud Connect is similar to Prolific. Also check out r/beermoney if you don’t already. Data Annotation, UserTesting, Dscout App, are a few different options too.
Offer a service that older people (who generally have more disposable income than time and tech know-how) don’t want to do. For example:
Scan and organize hard photo albums into easily organized digital albums.
Create a digital library of their favorite analog music from vinyl or cassette.
Photograph & digitize their jewelry, sports gear, electronics, or other expensive items for updating their home insurance or renters insurance policies.
If you think about your skills and problems with easy tech solutions, you may come up with many similar opportunities.
Check out Test IO (we have Reddit, TestIOCommunity). It’s a great work-from-home side gig where they teach you everything for free and pay you to test. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

We work with National Life Group, one of the strongest life insurance companies established over 178 years ago. The way we operate differs from traditional corporate jobs and might get mistaken for “scam.” Yes and no on MLM; we’re a hybrid. Recruiting is optional but not mandatory.

Just going to throw this out there. I made about $1k in a month doing the sweepstakes casino side hustle. Look into it; it’s legit. I know it sounds crazy.
