Places To Look For Random Little Part-Time/Freelance Jobs Other Than Craigslist

[Hal Phillips]

You know-- informal kinda stuff, not like temp agency office-job kinda stuff. "I'll pay you $50 to transcribe my handwritten notes" kinda stuff.

Any go-tos?

For media and production, Mandy.com. Idealist.org is also good for random non-profit stuff, writing, etc.

To be honest, I've heard it's mostly a hobby for people. Can't really make a huge amount. But peeps do get paid. It's def legit, just not all that profitable.

I made 7 bucks doing that last summer (just to kill time). Most of the jobs pay very little, so you won't make much money, while others are ridiculously strenuous for the 2 bucks they offer. However, sometime you find something good and make 75 cents or a dollar while you're watching tv.
