Had to unfortunately quit my job suddenly so I'm now in a financial bind till I find something else. I'm aware of the usual Gig economy stuff like Uber ect. and the welfare grind of Plasma selling. But what else can I do right now that's not gonna cost me anything beyond time that will let me get cash while I'm applying.
Nb4 anyone suggest it, I'm far too ugly to be a hooker so that's off the table.

make nsfw art and sell it, heard you can make up to 3k a month (independent) after 6 months to 2 years.

I have literally 0 artistic skill. I can write and I've tried to see if I could get people to pay me to write NSFW for them but no one has taken me up and I don't have a social media influence big enough to garner real attention.

What does a cat converter do, change cats into a less useless animal?

Man I wish I could become a dealer. I'd actually be making real money then.

That depends on where you are. A lot of drug dealers in cities basically have to work regular ass shifts under a larger chain of command where they show up to a corner and work for a preset period of time, and they don't make that much more money than you would working at a walmart.

Basically the opportunities to survive economically without sucking corporate cock are getting slimmer and slimmer because nobody speaks to each other anymore in order to trade goods/services and everything has become completely centralized, so if you figure something out let everyone know.

Sell your childhood toys on Ebay, do surveys, sign up for focus groups, mechanical turk, write shitty SEO articles., transcription, there's literally so much you can do from home with minimal effort.

Real answer, contact a temporary job agency like Express Pro, there is probably an office somewhat near you. It's kinda dependent on having some transportation, but as long as you can piss clean you can do little day labor bullshit with some flexibility. I got a couple long term gigs at a factory and doing some bitch work for home construction in the area I live, steady work for 4+ months. But you are basically just selling your body, but for labor instead of sex. If you live in a somewhat urban area, you can pretty reliably find day long or week long gigs unloading a truck or doing some stupid shit like that. Most people also doing it are the dregs of society so you can stand out and look like a good worker just by showing up ON FUCKING TIME and actually trying to stay on task and do the work.

Yeah I've worked for temp agencies before. They do work that I can agree with. I even got sent on an out if town trip by one where I earned a couple grand.
But I really just can't do the physical labor like I used to, and I know any office temp stuff is much harder to come by through experience.

Sell your gamer skills on ePal or join Fiver and complete small tasks for people around the world.

ePal is a website that used to be called "eGirl" but male users were acting bitchy and now the site has to be inclusive of men. It's basically the longtime joke of "hiring someone to play video games with" made real. You set your game, rates, and your hours.

I did it for a while in which I sold my services for Final Fantasy XIV as an extra for raids or ferrying newbies through the game with short queue times (which is no longer needed due to recent additions of AI parties).

I sometimes like to make money by repairing small electronics like Nintendo 3DS and phones. Nothing complicated like reballing chips, just little things like replacing screens or other components.

It isn't the best solution but I keep seeing hiring signs at fast food places all over. Might be worth just doing it part time to have some cash coming in while you find something better.

Just because a place has a "now hiring" sign doesnt mean they're actually actively hiring. It's fucked, I know. Retail places just don't remove the hiring signs because of high turnover rate, so maybe they really need someone. Best just checking their job listings online or asking a manager inside.

Best time to get hired for retail is right during back to school due to the holidays and increased instore or online orders. Seasonals dont often get hired fulltime, but it's good resume filler. Never put your weekends as unavailable if you want to get hired on seasonal positions because those are the busiest days they need help.

With the ePal thing, only downside i see is having to have a subscription to whatever game it is or like PS+ beforehand.
