https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_job Have ever held a micro-job? if yes what was the task and how much money you'd made from it per day/week/month? was the work easy? you may had heard of micro-job from the 'amazon mechanical turk' held by amazon.
honestly, If you find a good one its 100x better than being a wageslave and dealing with people.
keep in mind that its not easy to fin a reliable one and the paymend is above average. still, its better than leaving home and dealing with stupid people
I did for some time. First take into consideration that I'm in the Third World, so just the fact that the payment was in dollar made a huge difference. About the job itself, it may get good but it's not completely reliable. There are times when tasks become available that may give you a total of 50 dollars or even more a day without barely taking time, but they won't last for much more than one week so, and the best ones you can consistently get are less than 1 or 2 dollars an hour of completely filled "work", which is easy but boring and repetitive. You also can't have much attachment to your personal data, I did some tasks that required me to give my personal phone number and then wait for calls where I would record some audio. I know a lot of people wouldn't really want to give personal information to some maybe sketch Russian contractor, but I just didn't care. Amazon Mechanical Turk specifically is not active in my country (I did try to sign in), Toloka and Premise were the ones I used, though Premise involved a lot of outside tasks (going to markets, taking photos of places, etc).
>>220897 Recording audio, watching youtube videos and tagging "inappropriate content", clicking pictures of animals and objects, visiting sites and noting what was asked (such as is there a discount coupon, how much is it for, etc), this type of things. Supposedly I was training AI. There were also some not worth it like transcribing audio, it's harder and takes longer than you'd imagine.
>>220901 It was possible to make something like 200 or 300 dollars a month with 4 hours of work a day. I did quit and move to UX/UI testing. Honestly, out of all the no-qualification self-employed jobs out there, it seemed like testing is the only and best one that might allow for an actual reliable living, though it has a slow start. But I ended up quitting there as well because I got some money from other sources in real life that allowed me to become NEET.
>>218184 I used to go on Mturk while waiting for my neetbux application to be approved. It's basically slave labor. You will never make enough money to survive. The most I ever made on that platform in one month was like $600.
It's probably more sustainable if you're in a third world country where cost of living is super low.
It REALLY depends on who I am working with. I would say the average is around 20-60$ per drawing. Commissions have ran up dry last year, most of my "commissions" being some sort of scam or "sorry, can't comission you rn but I will keep you in mind when I get the spare cash".
Had many more commissions when my art was worse for some reason. From what I heard we are going though some sort of economic remission and artists are experiencing some sort of stripper index situation. Could also be the raise of AI.
>>221013 ok thank you. yeah maybe a.i will kill artists lmao. what kind of graphics tablet d o you use? I want to start drawing on a tablet. something cheap
>>221014 XP pen Artist pro 16 (Gen 2). (I got it on an XP pen aniversary discount) Upgraded from Wacom One (the older 2016 model)
Neither are exactly cheap options. Doupt you will find many cheap options that have a screen or atleast that aren't complete dogshit. Personally researched different tablet models in the price range like 3 days before making the decision to buy it. GAOMON PD1161 or some other GAOMON product seems to be the economic option but I cannot vouch for it quality to price wise as I never had one of those. Also if you have any plans to make a living off art comissions, with that time and dedication just become a doctor or a nurse or something and I am 80% serious. Also most are looking for rendered pieces not sketches so learn how to do that early.
Also is 2D porn/nudity ok here? I know no 3D porn but nothing is said about the 2D vareity. Most of my art has usually some ammount of nudity.
>>221039 >Lizard-person you mean a reptilian? i heard reptilians rule over the jews, and the jews have control over the weather can you tell her to tell the jews to turn the heat up a bit? it's awfully cold this time of the year
I'm on SSI so I'm paranoid about making money, I'm worried they'll take away my neetbux if I make too much money. I think there are rules that I can't have more than $2,000 at any time.
In my state there's no point because it's all locked down by regulations. Pretty much all you can do is shit like hanging stuff on walls or setting up ikea furniture. Everything else needs to go to licensed contractors.
tbh i like the idea of the small "quests" that you can do whenever you want, and with a lot more variety than doing the same thing for years and having to show up at cruelly early hours
>>222978 he was right even before he posted this though. look how many creative industries got shafted by generative AI. the jobs arent there any more.
>>222978 Yeah and it's funny because the only thing that's changed between now and ~6-12 months ago is that people have grown a stronger dislike for AI slop
