The Coli Side Hustle / Business Thread

[Eza]

I make an extra $450 a week evaluating ads and landing pages for Google through an agency called Zerochaos

send your resume to tempjobs@zerochaos.com and put "Ad Quality Rater" in the title... if they have any openings then a recruiter will hit you back

Got a question for you though bruh. Taxes....I've read up on on this shyt since your post and I see that you have to take your own taxes out of each check since you're an independent contractor. How much do you usually withhold from your shyt every week?

@Grizzly and anyone else that does that ad rater thing, what kind of experience or knowledge is needed for something like that? Should I get any certs or take any courses first? I'm already bilingual but don't have a degree. Don't know how much they'll require. If not, what do you guys recommend for entry level stuff? Even if it's just paying $100 a week instead of $450 but something I can do online on the side that'll get me experience and added income.

I've been hearing commercials on the radio for an app called TAKL. It's apparently supposed to be like Uber except for everyday tasks. You can sign up to do anything on it. They have everything from home cleaning to computer services to sports lessons, etc.

I signed up and I'll see how good this thing is when it launches here in Atlanta next month.

TAKL is weak...not enough buyers too many providers....you will rarely or ever get someone to accept a task.

My main work is music right now (yes, this is actually profitable for me) and the side stuff is software/games development. I do have a couple of free products and educational materials out, but this year I'm hoping I can swap the music to side-game status and have the game development become my main focus.

I'm not exactly a one person team, but I'm still the only programmer at my disposal (fancy that) and creating all the other content is a pain in the ass. There is still the potential to collect a few stacks teaching, though

What type of music services do you offer? How much do you charge? What type of work do you do in game dev?

 

[Mr Uncle Leroy]

R&B, Orchestral, etc. Basically whatever the client wants (I compose for videogames and some special entertainment projects)

I also sell albums of the finished soundtracks sometimes—EN's was pretty popular for what it was.

Where do you find clients? How much do you sell the soundtracks for?
