In addition to my day job, I'm in the Air National Guard, do photography, sell life insurance, and soon will be selling mutual funds, which I'm very excited about. If you were closer, I could very much help you get on track to all/any of these. But remotely, I can only help a little.

Besides that, there's a lot of concerns to consider when using Uber, Lyft, or any other ridesharing service, either as a money-making tool or as a taxi service.

I tried to do my profession (autobody) on the side and it has always ended up in me getting fucked. Freinds want deals that leave me tired and working pretty much for free.

I however, used to do digital art, logo design and a ton of anime illustrations for people online in my evenings back when I was in school. After doing work for a guy he shared it and I somehow got popular on a forum called DA and my mailbox exploded with requests... most seemed like juvinille kids wanting cartoons... and some really wanted to shell out cash for them. After working with companies doing logo/business card design... this shit was easy. They would send me an email that said please draw X character from tv/game/cartoon. Draw her sitting on a desk with a book in her hand. I'd draw it and usually they'd send me something like. "Needs more cleavage/butt showing." I'd fix it, email them the art and never hear from them again. They would always paypal me before doing the work too. Rarely I'd have problems. Eventually I get one crazy weird shit I'd have to decline and block the guys email afterwards or the guy that wanted me to keep redrawing pictures because he changed his mind on what he wanted. But, this was a breeze compared to companies that I had to play email tag with over 2 months for a simple $50 logo...

At my best I could draw and pinup for roughly $600 and roughly spend 3 evenings (3-4 hours each) drawing on my tablet while watching netflix. Always paid upfront and tax free. The only downside was some weeks there would be no jobs to do. :/ The most I've ever made was I did a 3-page web-comic of a guys own character for $1100. Though I ended up spending almost 2 weeks of late nights on it because he was picky.

I stopped doing it when I got a big-boy job. I've been thinking about going back to it as it sound much better than getting a second job.

I don't have one. It was shared by one the people I did work for. I want to say it was a picture of a character from Tekken or maybe Soul Calibur back in 2009ish~ People had asked after he posted it on his site and he shared my old email. My mail box blew up with 30-40 emails a month after that. I had to get rid of that email. It didn't occure to me back then to use a seperate email than the one I use for everything else.

Side jobs?

Or just a main chick

Or any chick

Or anyone
