You can sell stuff on craigslist or ebay, but that requires you to go outside and have or gain knowledge about stuff to find, buy, fix and sell.

I mean, it's kind of the ultimate Millennial/Zoomer question....

 

Technically, Youtubers can fall into this category...but you won't make much at it until you have a following, and that requires production values, creative content, etc.

 

You're really better off working a stable, reliable job (eg. retail) while you invest time/effort/energy into developing skills in something else.  You know....like all the Gen-X'ers did.

[IPD]

Honestly, the best way to "earn money" these days is cold, hard trades skills.  Not internet shiz.  Like deck-building.  Woodworking.  Electrical installation/troubleshooting.  Plumbing.  Hardwood resurfacing.  Carpet installation.  Drywalling.  Stuff that is of actual value--and is usually highly in demand, given the abject dearth of qualified, competent professionals working in these areas.

 

Or you can always try to be a saturation diver, if money is the most important thing--and you're willing to invest the time to perfect the requisite skills.

Ask yourself, who would you pay a lot of money, who doesn't have a lot of expertise?

The answer is: You get money for stress and responsibility.

And if you pay a lot of money, you expect very good work and reliability. So don't think, it's easy.

 

An example for this would be organizing a wedding or a different event.

You dont need to know, how to make a cake, you dont need to know, how to make rings, but you will have to make it work.

So this is not about knowledge, but about diligence. You have to do a lot of research and you have to make plan A, B, C just in case, something goes wrong. You have to stay inside the budget and you have to get it done in time.

You can do most of the work at home, but you should be there in person, when the event takes place.

You could also make money through boring repetitive jobs that are hard to automate... if you're in US, see Amazon's mechanical turk or freelancing websites for jobs that do with AI training (for example you get a batch of pictures and you have to draw circles/rectanges around specific objects in the pictures to help train the AI to detect such objects)  or data collection and extraction (go to a website that has a product catalogue or something  and copy the data into a excel spreadsheet  or get a list of websites and find contact email addresses and phone numbers for those websites )  or you could get some transcribing jobs (you listen to  some voice mail or interview or discussion and you transcribe correctly the contents)

 

There's even some gray-area websites that provide captcha solving solutions - they pay people a few cents for -insert your number here- captchas solved ... their software keeps giving you captcha pictures and you answer them.  Other people have bots or scripts to automatically purchase things and work around captchas using such companies.

 

On fivver (or whatever it's called) there's all kind of small job offers  like "give me 1$ to make you a computer configuration according to your budget"  or "5$ for 30 minutes of computer support , or be online through video chat to help your build/install your PC"

 

You could also make money the legal way ... buy a domain and shared hosting, make a website and have affiliate links or ads on the page ... if you get the niche right and put the effort and make quality content and don't overdo it with ads to put people off ... over time you can get a good revenue.

Become a crypto bro or an NFT artists, both require very little knowledge and skill.

Lol, the one take reaction video channels. They just record for 10-15 minutes, then spend 15 minutes to edit the video, then upload. It is lazy work.

It's also why I have no compunction about blocking ads, fast-forwarding their sponsor bits, etc.  If these "content creators" disappeared overnight--in search of better and more legitimate income sources--I wouldn't even bat an eye.

It's debatable... just because you don't feel like you get some enjoyment or something from those, doesn't mean others don't. 

 

For example, I loved the TV Fringe and I enjoy seeing how other people analyze and guess or interpret what happens in episodes, considering  that I already know what will happen - some happen to get it right, others are completely wrong and get excited in future episodes when they get the twists. 

For me, it's entertainment, I enjoy also re-watching snippets of the episodes, I enjoy seeing people see something for the first time - it's like you playing a game for the first time and get that thrill, but you don't get the same excitement when you play the game a second story... the other people's reaction is somewhere in between.  

 

Some people that react are crappy, as in they just oooh and aaah and make faces, but others actually have 5-15 minutes of critique, comments, some even make predictions on what would happen in future episodes and keep track of their predictions and how often they're wrong etc they actually put the effort to make entertaining videos.

 

Can also say I check out book review videos from time to time as well, let's say I read a book and I want to see how others feel about the book ... like for example "Aurora" by Kim Stanley Robinson where some reviewers didn't like the ending (I did), or the "Written in Red" by Anne Bishop where some reviewers just couldn't get around the parallel universe where humans were not the highest "predator" in the world and lived in cities on land "rented" from native species.

 

The quote above bothers me ... because you could say the same thing about the videos in short circuit for example or other short review videos - you could say I wouldn't bat an eye if the channel was gone next day ... but it does have value to lots of viewers who simply don't have time to watch long length videos or are particularly interested in a niche product that can be seen on short circuit but not take a "slot" on main channel.
