I need to make an extra couple hundred a month to get by and smoke as much as i do (which i will cut by half if i must). So there are sites like iwriter where you can make $2-$7 on average for a 500-1000 word article. Has anyone done this?
If not are there any side hustles you do to make some money ontop of disability?
I was spending the equivalent of $300 a month on cigarettes. Now that I vape I spend about $30 a month !
Nice! I vaped for a few months and only bought a pack once every few weeks. I need to try it again -you’re words have inspired me as always @everhopeful 
Will try to fix my vape…!
I thought about repairing hoovers or being a guitar tech for a little while when I was thinking the same thing. Never did it though. Get creative!
Those are cool ideas for making some extra moneys! Creativity i definitely lack though, only thing i can come up with is pc repair. Creative version: pc repair with a free birthday cake with every repair…! (Yes i will think on it some more).
Those cheap writer sites are awful. Before I began pitching to magazines and self publishing I used all the old writer mills. They expect a lot of work for a pittance. They take advantage of people. I wouldn’t send an enemy to them. Maybe.
Thank you for the heads up! Ill look into other options. Ive only written a few articles for them, so no loss i guess. Off topic, but do you have any advise for coming up with articles that sell? I have good writing skills when i try but I seriously think i may lack the creative mind to come up with ideas, so idk if im cut out for the trade of writing.
There’s always freelancer.com and fiver.com
Thanks for telling me about iwriter.com I would like to try my hand at writing.
@Moonwalker, thanks for telling me about freelancer.com and fiver.com I would like to try my hand at writing.
I bank an extra couple hundred every month because I don’t smoke so that’s my side hustle. And I don’t drink so that’s prob another 300 dollar side hustle. And I don’t smoke pot so that’s prob another 200 dollar side hustle.
The side hustles continue… 
Make sure to tailor your idea to the outlet. There’s a way to slant almost anything. Read and research the stuff each site or magazine publishes. I used to go to this forum called Absolute Write Water Cooler, but I think it closed.
Waitit is still there! I learned so much there starting out in the early 00s.

Look for the freelance writing area. The people used to be great. I am still friends 15 years after meeting people there!
I have a friend on disability who has 3 cash jobs: childcare, landscaping, and cleaning houses. I don’t think she needs disability but that’s what she does for extra money
I pull in a nice extra income every month from my rental property.
Good for you @anon31257746!
Same here! 
I’ll help my dad clean cabins here and there. Not much else.
im thinking maybe I can learn to construct guitars and mandolins for sale. there are a couple schools im considering. mostly it would be nice to have a way to make money when Im older and can no longer work demanding jobs. haven’t started yet, just something im thinking about.
