50 Ways to Make Extra Money

[Vanholio]

Saw this Pennhoarder article. Some of the ideas are good for OTR vandwellers. I think urban vandwellers can do just about all.

I signed up for the bestmark mystery shopper thing (#43), I thought it was worth noting that it allows you to do assignments up to 150 miles from address. So if you are in one place but move around the area a lot that could be beneficial. They pay by check in the mail tho so fully mobile option wouldnt probably work. All of the mystery shops i got were for car dealerships, sales (small $$, 14-20) and service (get a free oil change plus 25-35). With the van, I do not feel it will cover my gas for all but the closest. Of course different areas probably pay more.

I've been working mTurk for about 4 months. It's not massive amounts of money, and it requires a good internet connection, but you can "turk" from a computer or your phone/ipad.
I like it because it allows me to work while still being a stay-at-home parent to my toddler.

About how much do you average a month? How many hours do you average?

Great info.  One of the suggestions in that article led me to another great site:

One downside to these types of jobs is that there usually are no benefits; e.g. health insurance, 401k plan, etc.

I work about 6 hours a day and make about $30-$40 a week.
Mostly of the 6 hours is spent waiting for a HIT (what mTurk calls their jobs).
If I wasn't looking after my 3 year old, I'd probably do transcription on CrowdSurf they pay pretty well.
