  Yeah, I know that already. What I’m asking is, how do people make extra money WITHOUT gig apps.

    We don’t do gig jobs. Simple as that. If I want extra money, I would go to a pizza shop to do delivery driving vs uber eats or door dash and make cash that way. A phone isn’t required for that, and my car has navi, if needed.

    My “side jobs” include IT consulting and small side jobs that don’t conflict with my main work. Because a lot of installs need to be done after-hours anyway, it’s convenient, and paid cash. Though, harder to find work that pays well enough, usually small businesses are happy to pay cash if you’re cheap enough. I have to be less expensive than the other companies that compete for contracts, but still be worth doing myself in a reasonable amount of time.

    I use to do IT for friends and family but that’s either free/cheap or constant phone calls like I’m their personal pro bono IT guy.
