    Great post here by u/negativepitch who was looking for ways to generate extra income:

I never thought it'd be possible, but I figured if people had ideas on how $10,000/yr might be possible, then earning a quarter of that, or even a third might be realistic. Among the many helpful posts, someone recommended looking into online freelance job sites and recommended a particular one for web development. I created an account and spent 3 hours setting up my profile because I decided that if I was going to do this I 'm going to do it all the way and give it everything I've got. Fast-forward 1 month and I've earned $964 after fees with more on the way! It has absolutely transformed my life. I've been able to convert what was utterly unproductive time (9:00PM - midnight) into real earnings and learn a ton along the way.

    I'm not posting this to give myself a pat on the back, and I know $964 isn't turning many heads on PF, but I've seen countless posts where people are really struggling to make ends meet and I just want to say, it's possible! The site I work through (I don't want to name it due to the promotion rules here) has all kinds of jobs they are looking to fill: web dev, Excel, Outlook, etc. Chances are, you are good at something that somebody somewhere needs. I highly recommend to those who are looking for ways to earn extra income, get online and take a look at what's out there. I am far from an expert on anything, but due to the amount of work out there, I've managed to find places I do fit in. Good luck to you guys!

    EDIT: I've been told I can post the site. It's upwork.com.

    EDIT: I've been blown away by all your responses and PMs. I'd like to reply to all of you but I will be away from my computer for the next few hours. I'll try to respond later tonight. Thank you again for the support and questions. "
