You’ve seen me write about being a Mom on a Crypto Mission and getting my kids on crypto using $DRIP, but I haven’t talked about my side hustles. My husband and I make a pretty good team and are getting paid for little or no investment on all kinds of projects. He works for a large company as a Business Relationship Manager in the East Bay Area. The cost of living here is crazy high, so everything extra we can make will help. Having ADHD and 37 tabs open on my browser, I do a lot of things because I can’t just sit in an office all day long.

I do gig driving for HopSkipDrive and make about ~$100/day during school days. I also created a niche babysitting service, where the focus is on rescuing the parents, and it’s keeping me busy. And I’m about to start a YouTube channel (I’ll post the link when it’s up and running).

My husband has a raspberry pi that he got to play around with and discovered he could use it to sell our unused bandwidth. What??? Yes! I didn’t know that was a thing either. You can earn some extra cash with EarnApp. Don’t have a raspberry pi? You can also install it on your Android devices and your PC. We’ve got it installed on three devices, and they are each making money.

I have been looking for focus groups to join and earn money for my opinions. The last group I was a part of paid me $295 for 7 hours. Respondent, L&E, and User Interviews are all paid research studies websites. All the focus group companies work about the same. Beware of the screeners which ask too many questions because, most likely, they are just gathering free information and not really going to have a focus group or pay you anything.

I made some money with WeBull too. I got 5 free stocks! You can sign up and get 2 free stocks (valued at $3–300), and if you invest any amount, even as little as $1 (I invested $20), you’ll get another 3 free stocks (valued at $7–3,000). My portfolio is worth almost $50! When you use my link, I get another 10 free stocks. They’ve got a fantastic app, you can trade stocks, EFTs, and options with 0 commissions, and your account is safe and secure.

I am sure I will be adding to this list as I find more ways to earn. Maybe my YouTube Channel? Perhaps something on Gumroad? We will see! Oh yeah, and I got to start claiming my $DRIP. I’m so excited to be making money!!! Did you know that $DRIP has been around for a year? That’s an eternity in the cryptoverse. That is some incredible staying power.

TL;DR 5 Ways?

  1. HopSkipDrive
  2. EarnApp
  3. Focus groups like Respondent, L&E, and User Interviews
  4. Webull
  5. $DRIP <- This link will take you to my article that shows you how to set up an account of your very own.

Bonus: Almost all of the links I’ve provided are affiliate links that get me extra money or perks. When you sign up, you will also get affiliate links to share and make your own extras. Easy peasy!
