Hi OZB community
I am after some ideas to earn some extra income each week. I am only thinking $100 per week and would ideally like something that is flexible as I have 2 children under 3.
I have thought about doing some bar work on weekends but I would prefer something more flexible that I could do throughout the week.
I look forward to hearing your suggestions
Cheers

have you applied loans while doing churning credit cards? any impacts?
Home loan churning for cashback and lower rates/better deals.
Utilities churning for better rates.
If possible with your skills, work as a freelancer on the side.
you can learn matched betting - should make anywhere from 10-30k tax free in about a year. its all maths but you wont need to learn much about it, just understand how to do it will take you about a few tries. once you make the money you can learn EV / middles / arbitrage which still uses maths and fast speed. should make 5-20k extra. But everyones got different learning speeds and commitment levels. message me if you need help :)
Intetested but cant DM you it seems
all good should be fixed.
Bookies will ban you fast, what is your work around for this?
depends on certain books, betting amount, promo ratios, frequency.. etc little tactics here and there but always comes down to good rules. Eventually you will get ban you cant avoid that. take your winnings and use/save/invest it wisely
True, also noting that some smaller bookies will make life difficult and prevent you from withdrawing your winnings.
I did it for 2 years. Made probably 10k but that was pre covid. Got banned from most major bookies and everytime it got more annoying to withdraw, some required proof of account or you no longer can book majority of events. Now it’s even less rewarding with government crack down on bonus offers and everyone cutting back on promos.
So not worth it anymore?
Thanks for the suggestion, I gave it a shot and profited $250 in the first week. Was a piece of piss and no-risk (well, hardly any risk). I can 100% see how they'll ban you, it's literally the easiest money I've ever made. I'm going to stop doing it now and perhaps come back to it in a few months.
Which guide did you use to start?
Interested in this, how can I learn more??

I reckon creating a blog and using Google Adsense to generate revenue. It is a long term commitment but if you continure eventually you will have some return. For example recipetineats.com has about 20M+ monthly traffic. The average CPM for Google Display Ads is $3.12 which means that recipetineats.com could possibly make $62,400 per month just from Google Adsense.
I created several websites a few years ago and now they have monthly traffic about 32k users. Now I get $500 to $900 per month from Google Adsense. I am pretty happy with the extra income.
how often do you update content
Around once per month on average, less than an hour per month.
What type of content if you don't mind me asking?
Property related.
Not the biggest Side hussle, but I do survey's through pure profile.com and Octopus Group.
Just curious on how common side hustles are nowadays. With cost of living and wotnot do it does seem more common in recent years and more so out of necessity rather than a fun hobby.
Mine has been building and flipping PCs initially cos it was just a fun hobby but nowadays it’s becoming bit of a regular part time second job. It doesn’t give me much so the question of is it now worth it comes into play.
What do you guys do? Uber, Doordash, Air tasker, freelance services like photography, makeup etc. and how does it compare to regular income. Do you find it worthwhile doing?
Sportsbet.
Not sure if you’re being sarcastic but from what I’ve seen it can be done if you’re willing to put in the time for arbitrage opportunities.
Yep, arbitrage pay out and cost of pay-off. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/tennis/how-a-suspicious-bookie-…
better off doing matched betting on the horses.

Just rent out your trailer.
Oh yeah, I’ve seen a few FB marketplace ads for trailer hire.
The trick is to get an investment home, sign up to Airbnb, rent out every room, the garage, a caravan in the driveway and some trailer swags out the back. Worked pretty well 10 years ago when the rules were less strict.
I don’t all my spare time is dedicated to the endless and compelling pursuit of bargains

I work my side hustle during my full time hours
Same.
My boss: why do you have a ring light under your desk pointed at your feet?
In my experience if you're willing to dip them in mash and gravy you'll get significantly more money.
@Clear: I have heard similar things.
Wish I could also get paid good money like those content creators to rub sara lee choc Bavarian cake all over myself and eat it too…
@Jimothy Wongingtons: I'm googling this now. Possibly a fetish I didn't know I had.
Edit: I'm back after a 3 minute break. Cheers

@MS Paint: I’m pretty open minded and will try most things at least once , and did look into the subreddit , idk it doesn’t really do anything for me - but I can see the appeal I guess? I do love me some sara lee Bavarian cake though.

Nah it takes like at least 3 min to find the perfect video sometimes I reckon
I was a tech journalist for many sites years ago. Some would pay per article, some would split affiliate income if it was a sponsored post, while others would give you a set fee per month.
There was one Chinese owned tech news website posting Gearbest/Banggood "reviews" that were actually just a summary of the product page filled with ads and affiliate links who offered me US$1 per post. They expected me to spend 30 minutes per post. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
These days they focus more on TikTok and reels for pedalling the affiliate links than news articles.
. They expected me to spend 30 minutes per post.

If AI was that good 10 years ago I would have done it. Easy work for a dollar.

Manage families offset accounts; earn 1% on everyone's deposits. Easy 1 hour work per month. Earn slightly more than I used to building computers back in the day.
Out of interest, what does it mean to 'manage' an offset account?
I too would like to know what does it mean to "manage" offset accounts?
Yep. I do. I do exam marking/teaching/content dev as a contractor for a business that operates globally. I can pretty much work when I want and tend to put in about 10-15 hours a week. I generally make about $1000 per fortnight.
I also have a FT job that's a 9-5. But this money is extra gravy and basically just goes into the offset.
how to get into exam marking/teaching/content dev as a contractor for a business that operates globally …
I'm quite experienced in the field/industry they operate in. An initial scope of work has lead to more and more opportunities. I've been doing it with them for about 4-5 years now.

I know we're in Australia, and you're going to need to get a loan for the vending machine, but have you tried this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burusera
Oh, and the consumerables, … exs maybe.
It would be degenerate and immoral to encourage this. Please do not bring this to Australia.

Made an easy $250 after a month, taking it very slow/conservative
Have seen some made in the few thousands
Do you also churn OZB usernames, [Deactivated]?
