I keep hearing that this is the way to be rich, which would be nice.
I work shifts, 4 on, 4 off. So I have quite a lot of free time, especially if my shifts fall on a Friday-Monday run so I end up with two weeks of four weekdays on my own.
So, I could use my time to make money, right?
But I have no ideas. I’m pretty handy so I could try my hand at making a lot of things, have a better than average knowledge of electrickery and can do more than the average bear on a computer.
What would you do?
Hit me with some ideas, I’ve run out of stuff to flog at a loss on eBay. ____________________ This post is probably not serious and shouldn't be taken literally.

I'd go with a trade that can be picked and dropped as you wish. Wouldn't bother with plumbing/electrics as you generally need to hold certification which has to be renewed, member of a body for notifying works (unless you do it through building control), require a fair amount of expensive tools and equipment etc
I know a few lads who plaster on their days off, £300 cash for a 12x12 room plus ceiling skim.
Do one of those per rotation of your shifts and your laughing!
Dirty job though, and you're gonna want to get some practice in before standing on your head trying to skim a stairwell or whatever! |

I work in a rendering plant, plaster sounds clean! Might be worth looking into though, I’m sure I could pick it up doing some free labour as somebodies mate.

Usually getting addition 300-360 on Saturday for playing games and probably 50-60 a night just helping people remotely.
Depends on your skills bro. |
Not sure how well I’d do as remote support and I’d mostly be wanting to do things during the day anyway, since I don’t get a lot of weekends the evenings are really the only time I get to spend with my Mrs.
Video game recoveries though? I did a quick google and it just comes up with addiction recovery? Although if I could make money playing games I could be very happy! ____________________ This post is probably not serious and shouldn't be taken literally.

I play destiny 2, get people through end game stuff, trials, raids, PvP, quests etc.
I'd say I'm pretty good at that |

Pretty varied, good at most physical things. I can weld, machine, plumb, have a pretty decent grasp of industrial electricals although I’ve not done much domestically past installing some sockets and lighting. I wouldn’t class myself as a mechanic, but I’d be pretty confident at having a go at most things if I have the tools.
Not too sure about IT stuff, I can build a PC from scratch but I’m pretty sure everybody can these days. Never actually done any IT work so I have no database exposure.
I’m pretty good at writing, but all the sites I’ve seen massively flooded and people will only pay for your work after a large amount of submissions and nobody wants to sift through the free work.

Are there specific games that people pay for services in? And how do you get to the point where you can charge?
Not to brag but I have over 400 hours wasted clocked on Warhammer 40k Dawn of War Soulstorm and that’s just steam numbers. ____________________ This post is probably not serious and shouldn't be taken literally.

Yeah, but it doesn't cost you anything. Throw stuff out there and see if it goes. Do an advert with a different picture to everyone elses and make it a little more expensive so it looks like you actually have the item.
I should add, drop-shippers on ebay grip my fucking shitter. Especially when it takes them like 3 days to notice they can't get the [INSERT OBJECT HERE] they were advertising because they're sold out, then they blame it on the courier for having lost it (newsflash dickheads, couriers don't report parcels as "lost" because by definition, if they've lost it, there is no parcel to notice).
However, there must be money in it. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |

When a mate of mine was unemployed he bought stuff from the pound shop and shop it on ebay, he made reasonable money out of it. The story he always told was how he sold a pushbike cover for £13 and got neutral feedback saying "it looks like it came out of the pound shop" ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.
