So I've been thinking about looking into alternative forms of income so I can reduce the amount of time I have to go to a regular job and most likely do things that are rootbeer gonna be a physical or mental strain.

I'm also looking into affordable housing programs, medicaid, disability, etc :P

But anyways, back to the main point, has anyone had any experience with any of these? How much revenue can you expect? What are your thoughts on them?

My thoughts so far:

Patreon: Seems like a good option, still a bit confused about how it works.

Deviantart: Almost definitely low-yielding unless I can improve my skill a hell of a lot. But this is probably the platform I'm most familiar with.

Etsy: I have no idea what I'd do here. Hm.

Ebay: I'm a bit familiar with this. Unsure what to do here as well though. We'll see.

But yeah, if anyone else has any bright ideas, feel free to share :P

If you choose to do something along the lines of Ebay, I'd suggest trying Amazon instead. My mom used to buy and resell toys on both to get a little bit of extra money for Christmas and Amazon had a way better system.

Mostly art. I might do some handicrafts, but I'm not as good with that.

With Patreon, it's gonna mainly be for art and Youtube LPing :P I think I'm gonna set it up tonight, actually.

That's the Spirit

What I am looking to do, is once I get my new computer, offer a service on the game I play to essentially ''rank'' people. Low supply and high demand so I can make myself some money.
