Suggestions to get some extra $
May 20th, 2017 at 9:30pm
 
I'm still in high school (17) and I'm not the best when it comes to interacting in real life. Much better online. And recently I've felt a drive to be more productive, for whatever reason. So, anyone have any suggestions of things I can do from my phone to make some extra cash? I'm not expecting like to make a income to live off of or anything, just some extra cash.

Ultimately you have to provide a service or product. Any of the "make extra cash for just 10 min a day" has a catch somewhere. Like the "free ipod" of early internet days.

When I was 17 I didn't have transportation and I couldn't count on my family to get me to a job so I understand where you're coming from, believe me. At the end of the day though, if you want money you have to get a job.

There are all sorts of part time jobs that don't require you to interact with people.

Unpacking and stocking shelves in a store.

Janitor.

Cook in a fast food franchise.

Dishwasher.

Day labor at construction sites.

They are usually going to low paying, low skilled jobs with weird hours.

And they are usually pretty easy to find because they don't pay well and require weird hours.  And there is usually a pretty high turnover, so if you hang in there and work, you'll get a good reputation in that industry.  Which will translate to good referrals later when you start looking for a full time job.

That screams "free ipod for answering these questions" to me *shrug*

I do know people who have done the surveys and gotten some coupons for the hours (and it was hours) they put in. If you calculated the dollars per hour they got it'd be depressing. Again, There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.  I think you'll save yourself time by finding a part time job.

Well, like I said I'm not trying to make a bunch here. I just wanted something I could do on my phone (productive) while doing other things and I've found some I really like.

Maybe you could try to learn a skill if you are looking for something productive to do? It could be something that would make you more employable in the future such as coding.

I don't buy all these free money ads, they almost certainly are not worth your time.

Mow some lawns. You might be surprised how much money you can make doing that even at 17.

Well, problem with that is that lots of kids my age do that, also my neighbor does that as a job so I wpudlenr want to compete with him. But what I was looking for, and found was something to do passively, while I do other things.

Online money Scams generally have a fairly substantial downside that might not be immediately obvious.
I'm with the others, get an actual job Smiley

We know you're not paying any attention to the thread  Tongue

This is a lesson you're going to learn on your own. That's fine. We all have those lessons and think back to the older guys who tried to warn us. Just part of life.
