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?
Is it $20 before or after tax? Can she afford to put some money in it to start with? Is she good at something unique or special?
If she has the energy, she could pick up streaming or YouTube video… There seems to be some interest at how people with disabilities live and manage everyday hurdles but also their thoughts on life in general!
Many people with disabilities also can make some money selling art or other services that they might be good at.
Just consider that making money may in some countries substrate from the financial support already offers by whatever country you may be in
Will she get taxed for such a low income?
All income is required to be reported and taxed.
If you are below a certain threshold annually you will get that tax refunded.
I believe you typically get the money withheld, and if when you file are determined not to have any tax liability, you get a refund between what you paid and what you owe. That’s just like anyone else, but that second number happens to be zero. I swear there’s an option in a W4 that you had/expect to have your tax liability be zero as well, but of course if you turn out to be wrong you’re in for a world of hurt
$20 a day is $7200 a year; probably not.
But if she’s on disability pay, it might get cut by that amount.
Please note that every day thousands of people try to start with streaming/YouTube/TikTok etc. and almost all of them fail. It’s not impossible to make money, but it super hard and most people never make anything. I would never recommend anybody do it with the intent or expectation to make any money. Just do it for the fun of it and if you happen to make some money, great!
I think that if you have the personality for it and something unique to talk about, i dont think that its that unlikelly. Especially if the target is $20 a day.
Viewers are very curious and id guess that a steamer with a vissible dissability could attract a fair bit of users. I know its all about exhibiting ones personal side but i’ve seen suggestions here for making porn so it is maybe not that extreme
It is possible, but not likely. And even if you can succeed, it usually takes months or often years to build up to $20/day.
Until you build a youtube channel up to 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time, you are not even eligible to apply to be in the youtube payment program.
There is a survivor bias to big YouTubers. All of the ones who make it to 10,000 subscribers are already beating one in a million odds. It’s a total longshot. That’s why you need to go into it not caring about money. Because it’s super unlikely, like winning the lottery unlikely, that you will make any money at all.
Yup. I went to school with somebody who was big into youtubing, he had professional Sony software for editing snd everything. The guy only had at most 20 subscribers and he’d been doing it for a while.
I dont know. Personally i am pretty boring. Made it to 2 x $50 on twitch though before i chose to delete my account. I know that this is nothing t really but still its cool cash for gaming. I did put in an effort but to be fair i wouldn’t watch myself. I dont even watch others steam!
If you’ve got it in you and kind of have a feeling for what people want (best to look at what you prefers and give them that) then I’d say the odds are a lot better than winning the lottery
