Wanna make some extra cash?

Here are three unusual ways to make money:

Create a newsletter.  If you have some valuable insight people would be willing to pay for whether it’s about jobs, crypto, fitness or something else, you can start a newsletter with Substack and easily sell subscriptions.

Sell your beats.  Ready to become a hip-hop producer?  You can now sell beats online!  There’s a thriving, multimillion-dollar industry of people creating beats on their computer and selling them over email or through beat marketplaces.

Transcribing audio.  There are many services that will pay you to listen to audio recordings and transcribe them.  If you’re a fast, accurate typist, you may be able to hit $15 to $20 per hour with these services.  GMR Transcription gets good reviews.
