Money is usually hard to come by, in my experience at least, but every now and then a little job or side hustle comes along that is just a sweet gig.

For me, it was doing some voice-over work for show pilots.

Since I used to work in broadcast journalism (which in itself was probably the best and easiest job I ever had), someone recommended me, and all I had to do was go to a studio and do like 20-30 mins of work, for which I got 500 bucks (the equiv of) in an envelope.

Glorious.

What about you stackers?

I used to lower my grandparents' phone brightness, slow down their iPhones, Computer by installing unnecessary apps, and then take money from them to repair it at the store. Easy money every 2–3 months. (Don't judge me though i stopped doing this years ago.)

Doing what (as specific as you'd like to be)? What do they say in the release they make you sign, in terms of risks, etc?

I worked for a commercial dive company for a while, and we ended up landing a government contract to install a plug in a pool on a military base so that another contracted company could change the pump. Because it was a gov. contract, the gov. dictated our wages. The state wage for commercial diver was $84 an hour and that is what the contract mandated our company to pay us. So after set up, drive, set up, dive, break down, drive, break down we got 6 hours at $84 twice. One for a 5 minute wooden plug install and One for the removal the next day.

edit: There were definitely post work beers those days.

Flipping a house with my brother. Its something he's done a lot but he had an opportunity and needed investors. I made 0 decisions, he did all the work. In and out in 73 days, everything lined up perfectly and came out with a decent amount of sats.

I think there's often a tension between what pays well hourly, versus what is repeatable and consistent.
