HUMOR
Totally Legitimate Side Hustles for the Truly Desperate
I hope you like juice and cookies.
The side hustle listicles crack me up.
“Write on Medium!” (I mean, I’m reading this listicle on Medium, Captain Obvious.)
“Take online surveys!” (Umm, thanks for the nickel, I guess? It only took me four hours to get it.)
“Sell your stuff online!” (Because the world wants your used crap and it will be totally worth the hours you spend at the post office and all the chargebacks when people decide to keep your stuff but not pay for it. This is a huge problem on Amazon.)
“Become (and I am not making this up) a social influencer!”
Oh, Ashley, if only it were that easy.
How about some ideas that are either more realistic or even more ridiculous? Like:
SELL YOUR BLOOD
To the best of my understanding, which is almost zero, you’re not actually selling your blood. You’re selling your plasma, which is the stuff that holds your blood together, maybe? I think of it as your blood’s blood.
Really, I have no idea, but it’s very, very important, and you can earn up to $60 a pop for letting somebody jab a needle in you and then just lying…
