I need to get my mind to focus! I have to brainstorm ways to make more money.
Hmmm....
Is there a job in finding pictures? Those comedy news shows always have loads of relevant pictures for each segment, so maybe it's a legitimate job?

I've heard that people pay for some pretty funny things, for instance pro cuddlers, so would people pay to have sarcastic remarks directed towards them? I'm pretty good at those.

This is tricky when most of your skills aren't useful.

I knew a woman I used to work with. She started making jewelry from beads etc, that she bought of eBay. She eventually became so successful, she gave up her job and took it up full time.

You hang it on a flagpole.

I paint things and sell them online.

Someone I know bakes slices and biscuits and sells them to cafes.

What's Airtasker?

I considered having an Etsy store, but the difficulty is that most of the profitable shops on those kinds of sites, do well because they're good with advertising and increasing brand awareness though social media and blogging.

Are you able to make good money doing that?

I need to make double my current income to be able to move out.

Airtasker is a site where people put up jobs they want done.
It could be ironing shirts, or anything.
You make a bid on it - say: "I'll iron your shirts for $20".

Airtasker will show you the jobs available in your area.
There are all kinds of jobs.
Check it out.

I wouldn't make enough to live on because I don't turn out enough paintings.
It's more of a hobby.

I also thrift shop and sell on ebay.
Gosh, this is embarrassing :oops:
I look for brand name clothing, etc.
For example: I bought a brand-name denim jacket for $4 and sold it for $25 + postage.

I also fix jewellery.

And I make bags.

I'm always doing something.

Those are great! I've always thought about reselling some of the neat stuff I find at thrift/discount stores, but have never followed through.
