Side Hustles That Require Minimal Effort

Call Center Representative - Remote - Indeed.com

This is the link he referred me to. It’s out of Delaware. But they might have a way to workaround that since it’s a remote position.
Essentially search for remote representative positions. As long as you don’t have to sell anything (which is soul killing to me) and can work from home, it’s worth a try.

I wish I could find a place that offers this after regular business hours because I work regular business hours.

I just started a govt job 2 years ago and I do have a part time job as a server/barback and back up bartender for a high end catering company. I do it a couple Saturdays a month. It used to be more profitable pre COVID because some of the high end white clients tipped well especially at private home events. Now most don't give gratuity or give u a BS tip like $10-$20 (I'm happy with $20 cuz that can go to gas). Back in the day, some would give $40-100 tips per person. But just cuz a person is affluent don't mean they not frugal and tight asf. I talked to someone who works in restaurant industry and they said tips have decreased a lot in this pandemy.

I need to find a more profitable side hustle cuz I'm good at my job and hella experienced and the clients say we do an excellent job but they don't tip. Last week it snowed and my job ubered me to a function with a glass heated tent and that wedding cost a hella lotta money and they still haven't gave us gratuity. Had folks coming out with snow that last night and even had a us senator there and they didn't look out. But they said we did very good with service and food.

Minimal effort?

I do tech support from home and depending on the call volume you are either swamped with calls all day or you get no calls and your company either has almost no employees in your department.. or they'll soon let you go if they have more agents then they need.

I'm looking into going into the vending machine business but even that requires some effort. You still gotta restock your machine multiple times a week.

Clinical trials. Doing one right now at PPD (in Austin TX) that pays $10,500. It's for 30 days though. A bit low paying for what is usually given for a study this long.
