I've been looking for online remote side hustles, and mixing and mastering work but it's been a slog. I'm based in the united states, and been told to reach out to local artists in order to build up credits before using sites like soundbetter or engineears.

Is there any other side hustles, be that for music or outside of music, to help with income in todays economy that you guys know about, either online or off?

Friends say doordash.. uber... uber eats, etc. but the amount of wear and tear and gas expenses doesn't seem quite good at all... especially today.

 

My passive income derives from 3 pensions.
I'm old but at least I won't starve making my crazy non-commercial music

 

Bug bounty here, bug bounty there

 

people pay me taxes for the royals! but seriously

 

Not unless they move to Jersey, 20% income tax heaven

 

I sell my body in my free time
I guess you could call me a pragmatic
EDITED: who's the funnyass that voted "agree"?

good one my pal

I have a secondary job as a mastering engineer. I put 80% of what I make (from mastering) into crypto. So far so good.

 

I have sex with old rich octogenarian dames for big bucks. Sure, they smell like a cross between wet dish rags and old books but I'm almost ready to retire on the money I've made in the last five years. These ladies love it when I say...open wide, here comes the jello!

 

I sell pictures of my ass.

 

As a beginner, I'm proud to say I just got my first gig in the music business! A songwriter hired me to write and record arrangements for his first record. I am very excited!

 

WHAT!? they pay you?! usually I'm the one paying them!

 

I have a day job. I work hard and make reasonable money. I don't expect to make money by doing stuff that isnt great.

 

Oops, I better delete this comment

I work as a freelancer with mixing and composing gigs.

 

I'm one of the last 'fluffers' in a certain multi-billion dollar enterprise. I've been a backstage 'grip' for over 20yr and over 3500 films. I'm still waiting for an IMDB page...

 

besides the obvious this is like asking a angler for his best spots .....

and been told to reach out to local artists in order to build up credits before using sites like soundbetter or engineears.
but you must know if its worth it to aquire (my english sucks sry)

but when you look at the big picture egonomy wise in the so called west and you dont be in pharma, finances ,chemlobby ,advertising,shit apps , ai etc etc
explore tik tok...lol...no shit....but i couldnt do that i would shot myself

 

My main pension came from a government job with benefits, health care and decent wages.
I paid 49% for it and the taxpayer 51%.
Couldn't afford it otherwise.
Now I can make music without doing Stevie Wonder tribute gigs to support me

 

Government job is reliable and has a good future.
But suppose a person can organize a music concert like this, in this case, how much money he/she earn overnight ...

Having an artistic life is the dream of every artist, which, of course, requires a lot of work and effort, but if luck is one's friend and he/she can move forward with all the difficulties of the path with intelligence, a very good future awaits him/her.

 

I direct my minions to give me their money.
It's good to be the king!
