Farming MMO gold is easy, all you need is free time and the will to game on! (Operative costs not considered, including price of game and/or subscriptions, additional copies for multiboxing or for when you eventually get banned for RMTing, time spent trying to prove yourself as a legit gold seller, alcohol and/or other drugs to palliate the depression of forcing yourself to play all day and still not having earned a cent while large gold farm operations and botters leave you in the mud)

That Little Demon posted:Hi, new to the forum here but this thread caught my eye as I am interested in making money. What I have been doing for the last 8 months is converting a gas mask I had laying around to be able to huff household chemicals like Scotchgard and other things found under the kitchen sink. Then I made a twitter to post some content and make upwards of 18 dollars a month doing that. huffing your own farts on manyvids/etc would probably earn 10x that on the reg, as content alternative

If mmo gold farming isn't your thing you can just become the sole proprietor/employee of an in home sweatshop and compete with third world labor costs that way

me: to be a leftist you need to at least understand in concrete terms the pressures faced by the working class. you should know what minimum wage is, what rent is, how much groceries cost, how likely people are to have access to the Internet, how much childcare costs, cspam: to be a leftist you need to take this ball peen hammer and bludgeon yourself at a point slightly above your right ear until you realize that my lived experience of botting runescape for beer money trumps your food service worker privilege

Not sure why it hasn't come up yet, but if you have even a modicum of art skill (or maybe even just a voice you're willing to attach to erotica)... Furry Porn. People are 300% willing to commission you, it's just a matter of making sure you charge what your labor is worth, and don't accept more slots than you can handle.

The point about furries is well made. One can even earn money by being a furry, and extending certain, ah, favours to those who appreciate such things. Better yet, it will remain a sellers market for at least a while longer...

Eugene V. Dubstep posted:has anyone brought up the real harm done by the op advising people under financial stress to become day traders since it is "possible to begin with a very small investment and trade your way up to a fortune" I turned $50 into $100 playing cautiously with weed stonks back when those were hot, then chickened out and ran with the $50 I stole from the market before I foolishly lost it It's definitely a gamble, but your odds are way higher than winning the lotto ffs. And if you stick with calls, you are also realizing your potential losses upfront But yes, obviously, if you are unlucky, or don't know what you're doing, all of the money you gamble could easily vanish in an instant, and that's really not good when you're already poor

empty whippet box posted:playing path of exile I could easily generate $50 a day in in-game currency if I focused on it, only reason I don't is because my wife and I already have ways to generate money and I don't know a real money trader to link up with. If I did I'd probably already be doing it.

I'm fond of online poker, since we're apparently on the subject of gambling. It has much to recommend it, and can even be played in quite convincing VR, if you miss the camaraderie of the table.
