My disabled friend just needs to make like $20 a day to afford what she needs.
I know there are a ton of like “fill out surveys to ear money” “play games to earn money” “Do this little task” but all the ones I’ve found give like… $1 an hour.
I know fiverr is an option, but I dunno if that is consistent enough when she needs to get moving.
Any websites that would let her sidegig when she feels up to it and isn’t trash pay?
If she is fluent in English then there are some legit options (as in, will comply with minimum wage laws).
There are tech “consulting”/talent agencies which offer gig work where you help assess AI, i.e. rate and correct LLM responses, correct road signs etc.
There are also some foreign news stations which run English programs, but pay gig workers to rate/correct their pronunciation.
The LLM training gigs exist but they are way unreliable; you’re a contractor with 0 guarantee of work, and when there is work it’s a lump of tasks that get assigned on a first come, first serve basis. You weren’t awake and monitoring your email at 3pm? Well you might have just lost your chance to work that week because it will be taken by other by the time you wake up.
Do it for extra income, but be aware many are being exploited to train those models.
