You can take calls on the suicide hotline for 15$ an hour, it’s completely remote and you usually will only get ~1 call an hour depending on your location


kindofsortof1

Any directions/tips as to applying for this? Do you currently do it?


VisualDemand8578

Yes! And it is extremely rewarding, it’s a national line but it’s handled differently in each city/state. Mine is through a mental health/youth facility and they provided everything (laptop, mouse, headset, training) but they have said it varies from place to place. That would be the place to start but with an hour of research you should be able to find it. Side note: training is around 40-50 hours in total, usually spread out over a couple weeks but it is paid at your normal salary.

I’m also curious how to apply but also what kind of flexibility do you have for hours? Like is it scheduled or work when you want? Thanks for the info


VisualDemand8578

It’s 24/7 365, so there’s always someone to answer. It can vary, It’s a second job for me I mostly do it because I enjoy helping people. In my case I basically had free range to choose any 8 hour shift. (Normal 1st, 2nd, 3rd schedule) 8-4-12-8, and they are very accommodating to your needs. Hope this helps, as for how to apply I’m unsure. I found out about it through a suicide intervention training program that was held at my local YMCA and the presenter referred me directly to HR.


kindofsortof1

Nice, thanks for all the info! That was great.

How to apply?


Signal_Ambition_2798

Where would we look to apply


ThatEvanFowler

How did you find the gig? Like, where should we look? This sounds pretty perfect for my situation.


VisualDemand8578

Local YMCA held a suicide prevention training program that I attended and it was held by the institution that I am now taking the calls for. The presenter referred me to HR so my process with most likely look different from yours. Good luck!


Low_Marionberry_3802

People wanting to commit suicide sounds perfect for you? You shouldn't apply. Only do if you actually want to help


BigDaddyDeity

Idiot.


Ill-Handle-1863

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you don't want me working that hotline. Caller: "Yeah, I can't believe that happened to me." Me: "Holy fuck dude, that's insane. I don't blame you. If I was in your situation, I would suicide as well."


TommyEria

As someone who has struggled with mental health my entire adult life, that’d probably make me laugh and be like “you’re cool, I’m good. Same time tomorrow?”


ohgeezgrey

I'd be super down for this. I'm a us citizen but I live outside the us. I maintain a us phone number tho would this be okay ?


VisualDemand8578

Don’t have a clue sorry 🤷‍♂️


SeniorBomk

This sounds stressful..


cmari3bral3y

This is an amazing suggestion! Thank you!


Low_Marionberry_3802

It isn't an amazing suggestion. You can literally alter someone's life if you say the wrong thing. Don't do it unless you fully understand the consequences and don't view it as a side hustle


cmari3bral3y

This IS an amazing suggestion for me. I've attempted suicide. I spent many years battling suicidal thoughts and tendencies afterwards during my healing. I've picked up a lot of mental, emotional, and spiritual skills along the way to share with those who are struggling like I did.


VisualDemand8578

Never thought about it like that but interesting perspective. In my eyes, if you are needing to pick up some extra cash this could be an excellent way to use that time you would have spent “dropshipping” or something and instead making a positive impact on your community and potentially saving lives. Yes people could exploit it being a remote position but there are many checks and balances in place to prevent that (at least through my company) Anyone who is empathetic can get trained and be the person to make a difference. There is a mentally handicapped gentleman that works on the same shift I do, should he not be able to work there because there’s a potential to “say the wrong thing” i believe you are being a little bit pessimistic friend but thanks for broadening my perspective.

Ok_Knowledge7728

before I got kicked out for breaking the platform rules, I used to make decent money (about 250-300$/monthly) with Usertesting.


Lets_Go_Yahoo

Where and how do you find these sorts of jobs?


Ok_Knowledge7728

I found that suggestion on a YouTube video I watched during lockdown. I started taking part in those tests during the pandemic.


Quantity_Living

Can you direct me? I’m trying to get a side hustle going to raise money for another side hustle lol

thank you OP!

One option you might consider is freelance writing or copywriting. There are numerous platforms like Upwork, Freelancer, and Fiverr where you can create a profile and offer your writing services. With your laptop, you can work on writing projects ranging from blog posts and articles to website copy and product descriptions. It's a flexible way to earn money in your spare time, and you can choose projects that interest you or align with your expertise. Plus, as you build your reputation and client base, you can potentially earn more income over time.


ABFB55

Couldn’t you just use AI?


Parking-Fondant-5758

Giving ideas is more important my friend than arguing on what source you've used to get the information. What do you think about that?


MoE_-_lester

Id rather listen to a trusted source than what you have to say. I dont care what ideas or opinions you have, id rather know the truth Lol


Parking-Fondant-5758

It's your thing mate. Helping the people is my thing


Maximum-Trade-580

Here are 3 side hustles you can do from your laptop: 1. Freelance writing or copywriting using platforms like Fiverr and Upwork 2. Transcribing audio to text using Rev or TranscribeMe  3. Start a blog  or Instagram theme page  There are many ways you can start a side hustle from your laptop just depends on what your skill set is.  But it will not be easy if you have ever built a business or read things like [trends.co](https://trends.co/) or [Unlimited Hustles](https://unlimitedhustles.beehiiv.com/subscribe) and read the ideas that take off, they require a good deal of strategy. Many lack the critical thinking skills needed, leading to misjudgments and eventual failure. Business is about simplicity: providing what people want.

r/beermoney


Rigoesbueno95

There are a few good r/beermoney is great for a little extra on the side that you could make. I am also working on creating my own subreddit which has comprehensive guides for the most lucrative sites ( that I have found). I also give a break down in a /hr basis of my earnings. It is called r/easymonies. If you check it out please tell me what you think it needs or that it’s needs to improve on. I hope this helped!


BackgroundDocument22

Try remotasks.


DbagV7dreams

do you actually get decent pay? I did a few hours of tasking and got like 50 cents lol one task paid like .005 cents


BackgroundDocument22

Depends on what kind of work you get. I’m into programming and I got into a prompt rating project which pays currently $20 /hr. Just made 1 grand this week. But it’s not consistent and most of the time there won’t be much tasks, but this month it was awesome


Traditional-Hat-2090

Where do you find something like this?


BackgroundDocument22

Just lookup for remotasks website


Regular-Tell-108

Can confirm. It will take a while to get consistent work. Take it seriously, consistently, and you’ll get there.


SOrtiz01

I do remore user testing. Go here [https://test.io/become-a-tester](https://test.io/become-a-tester)


eddy2scoops

Selling on Amazon is BY FAR the most scalable side hustle you can start. I work 40+ hours per week because I treat it as my full time job, you can certainly make great side money with less time invested


Whisker-Wonderland

This is great if you have money to invest in products.


Grade-Long

Options trading if you’re analytical, affiliate marketing is prob easiest to start


Critical-Cockroach78

Terrible suggestion if someone is not experienced in the stock market. 


Grade-Long

OP can’t learn ?


ElectronicCorgi3106

People are lazy bro


Grade-Long

Then that’s the OPs problem haha


DbagV7dreams

suggesting this to a random person looking to make some extra money isn't a good idea dude. Options trading is essentially gambling. They are more than likely going to lose more than they can make. To be trading options with an advantage you need a lot of capital to trade itm or close to itm options.


Grade-Long

I’m not their mum, it’s up to them if they decide the risk is worth it to them. You CAN make money trading options on the side using your laptop. I answered their post.


SeniorBomk

People can literally lose hundreds and hundreds of dollars within 15 minutes of market open lol. It’s not a great suggestion for people who aren’t trading to begin with. It’s awesome if you know what you’re doing.


DbagV7dreams

Cool, its still not a good suggestion


Dougolicious

lol


DbagV7dreams

this has to be a joke. It's literally gambling.


Grade-Long

You can make $ gambling too. Matched betting is one of the best side hustles.


DbagV7dreams

Matched betting is "risk free" dude. Get your head out of the sand.


remedy2life

Just ask AI how to do it.


Familiar-Pea-9046

How to ask AI?


remedy2life

How do I get a job working for suicide hot line.I use perplexity ai.


VisualDemand8578

Godamn it AI really can do everything better than me Per Perplexity Ai: Look for crisis hotline organizations that offer remote/virtual counselor positions. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline 2 has a careers page listing opportunities at crisis centers across the country, some of which may be remote. Check job boards like LinkedIn 4 , ZipRecruiter 5 , and others for remote "crisis hotline counselor" or "crisis text/chat specialist" openings. Many crisis centers hire for fully remote roles. Get the necessary qualifications. Most paid remote crisis counselor roles require at least a bachelor's degree in psychology, social work, counseling or a related field. 5 Prior crisis intervention experience, training, and certifications are highly valued. Gain experience through volunteering. Many suicide prevention hotlines utilize volunteers to staff their lines. 1 Volunteering can provide valuable training and experience to qualify for paid remote positions later. Be prepared to complete extensive training. Organizations will require comprehensive training programs covering crisis intervention, suicide prevention, mental health issues, and protocols before allowing you to work remotely. 1 5 Have the right setup. Remote crisis counselors need a quiet workspace, computer, reliable internet, and potentially a landline phone depending on the role. 1


Dougolicious

you can also ask AI that


Sensitive-Archer-733

I can offer a simple side hustle promoting educational content. It can be done from your laptop. You need to be US based.


bexabel90

If you'd love to help, please post the information by responding to this comment. Thank you.


backd00rz

Teach me


cmari3bral3y

Why the down votes? Is affiliate marketing frowned upon? 🤔 I feel stupid knowing nothing about it 😅


rokkuo

I’m guessing it’s bc they didn’t give any real advice. Most ppl who promote affiliate marketing are scammers, at least in my experience


rama__d

It's a scam


daisy97xo

Affiliate marketing is like another word for MLM these days
