Best way to make side money 500 euros per month


How can a generalist make side money no less than 500 euros per month?

Can anyone recommend anything? I would like to test this as a PoC, if plausible.

- Investing $137k into bonds would generate about $500 per month - Selling your time is the most straight forward way

Consider cutting expenses, you can save 500 euros per month without any side activity.

You can also sell your time and buy bonds until the desired amount is reached.

Will that work?

You can trivially make €500/mo as a beggar, but it's extremely time inefficient.

In other words, how much time you have per week?

I guess I should have added `technologist` along with generalist; my bad, it was not clear at all.

My problem is the lack of specialization in one stack of technology.

Others deal with web development exclusively, others with AI and its sub-categories, others deal with gaming development, and so forth.

I'm just trying to find a way to make 500 euros per month, no less than that so I can stand on my feet again...I won't go in details about my personal life here, I hope you understand why I'm going after the minimum amount of income.

I used to teach ms office and stupid stuff like that for about $20 an hour at night classes. That was maybe 15 years ago. You have 10 hours a week, so if your schedule allows, maybe do some teaching?

If ethical issue is not your main concern, you can always do other people’s programming homework. Charge whatever you think it’s appropriate.

Another possibility is data entry. Here in the US is between $20-$25 an hour.
