Yeah. It's a hard struggle. I'm in the same boat - love the flexibility. I keep wondering about YouTube faceless channels even though there are a ton of gurus really just promoting their courses it seems possible. I did a joke/meme channel a while back and got a few million views quickly - sadly not eligible for monetisation! I may try again with something serious. Good luck with your ventures!

Not at the moment. I did make a full time income from Search Engine work with the likes of Lionbridge in the past and Appen transcription can pay okay if you have a second language. With regular transcription, I don't think I was ever fast enough to make NMW and when the NMW goes up in April it will be even more difficult as SE online work doesn't seem to increase as much (if at all).
I know a few people who are making a full time salary online who do dropshipping / Amazon fba. They are helping me out at the moment create some content and guides which I will be putting on the blog shortly. Obviously its not a steady income (especially at the start) but from what I've seen as long as you put your research in at the start you can get started with a pretty low investment and start making decent money.
Thanks. I always wondered about Dropshipping. I heard eBay is kinda dead with it. Are there any main sites/people/channels you can recommend? Would you also recommend Shopify for a beginner?
Cheers.

Have you looked into Amazon fba at all? Seems like an easier entry point for this type of thing, saves having to setup your own shop front etc...
For dropshipping shopify sounds like the way to go for sure, makes it much easier to automate from customer checkout to the backend suppliers. I was told when i started my research that shopify themselves have some great resources to get started dropshipping, this really helped me get to know the basics and how to get started - https://www.shopify.com/blog/how-to-start-dropshipping.
I would recommend their intro video here - https://www.shopify.com/courses/dropship/watch
Keep an eye out on the forum too, once I have the guides together ill pop a link on the post. I was also thinking it would be a fun idea to invest some money into a beginner and with the help of the guys who are writing the guides, document the highs and lows of starting a dropshipping / amazon fba business. Again, more details will appear on the forum soon

I do wonder what the future of money-making online will look like. Beyond crypto type things, there doesn't seem to be anything new. Appen and Lionbridge have been quiet. I only really do prolific and crisp now as everything else is just not worth the time.
I am trying to be optimistic though so have my fingers that Crisp might increase their rates and maybe my premium bond will come up

I would recommend freelancing if you find the right thing. Fiverr is free (they take a hefty 20%) but still made some nice earnings from there. A.I kinda excites and scares me at the same time. Already seeing some technology taking jobs. Hope your premium bond comes up - or maybe ask Mystic Meg (Septic Peg) for the lotto numbers!I do wonder what the future of money-making online will look like.

I have a friend who has a full time blog. They work quite flexibly from home and take home a comfortable wage from paid promotion. It started as a hobby alongside their job, but as they've gained more readers they've been able to command more money for promotion, and just over a year ago they went full time with their blog.
Great news! I've always wondered if I'd have enough to say with blogging, and be able to stick at it. Thanks
