Today is #FreelanceIsntFree day. I’m lucky. I usually get paid for
my freelancing work. I do get most of the work through freelancing
sites which generally assure you get paid. I also find jobs outside of
those sites and once I spent over a year chasing down $30 from a
client. I managed to collect in about 15 months, which totally
surprised me. My first foray into collecting payment for my voice over
work paid off.
Voice over is a different way to get paid. There
are many weirder ways. I searched on “funny ways to make money” and
“funny ways to get paid” on Google. Selling your bits, like your hair
or plasma, will net you baubles at Wal-Mart. Unless you have extremely
soft, luxurious, virgin locks and those will net you an entire designer
outfit.
There are smart phone apps which pay you for shopping. I
fail to see the advantages of this, unless you’re being rewarded for
buying cheap stuff. You can tell I’m not a shopping addict, can’t you?
Other apps pay you for gathering marketing or inventory information.
Still seems like spending money to make money to me.
You can
RentAFriend.com. I’m not kidding; there is a site where you sell your
companionship. Its legit, platonic purposes only and there are
pictures of your possible friends. If your renter has some bucks, and
lots of time, those designer shoes are looking possible.
The
winner, in my book, of the most unusual way to make money is sending
text messages. Yes, as a ChaCha guide with a hankering for knowing how
to remove cats from dryer hoses and fast fingers, you can cover your
grocery bill for a week.
