This went on for a few weeks with more people coming out of the woodwork until I got up to 14 people I was bothering on a weekly basis.Īngela kept ribbing me to set up a Patreon for my Accountability Beast ways, saying that people could then pledge money and that would give them extra incentives to reach their goals. Tread Lightly, Retire Early June 7, 2019Īfter all this public bothering, people started taking notice of my efficient (*cough* annoying *cough*) methods and asked to be berated into completing their goals as well. I ALREADY FINISHED my slow down guest post for /75oA1VJSlB I lovingly call myself “The Accountability Beast.” I started bothering Angela every Wednesday until she completed her Transparency post! After that she mentioned another blog goal she had – which I also bothered her about until she completed it. I offered my services as a highly organized and persistent (or some might say annoying…) person who likes to bother people until they achieve their goals. The Ridiculous Backstory: A few months ago Angela from Tread Lightly, Retire Early mentioned on Twitter that she should work on a Transparency post for her blog.

#GIGECONOMY FUCK YEAH CODE#
Promo: If you’re interested you can sign up with the code l3575 to get $10 after your first two rides here. Freebird apparently also gives you cash back if you eat at certain restaurants near where you are dropped off in the ride share, but I haven’t accidentally eaten in any of them yet. I forced myself to do so by replacing my Uber app on my phone’s front screen with the Freebird app so I never forget. You just need to remember to book Ubers or Lyfts through the Freebird app. FREEBIRDĮffort Involved: Essentially none.
#GIGECONOMY FUCK YEAH DOWNLOAD#
If you’re interested in trying it out you can download the “Job Spotter” app from the app store of your choosing. Money, fun and helping people all in one – it doesn’t get better than that 🙂. Job Spotter is owned by and the pictures we take are uploaded to their website so people can find jobs, specifically more obscure ones that don’t have the money to advertise online. Job Spotting also has the added benefit of helping people. I never went out specifically to job spot or went out of the way to do so – I just kept my eyes open while walking where I was going. Also I might just be a weirdo, but I find job spotting to be really fun – it basically turns your city into a giant scavenger hunt, which helps me pay attention and see new things even on streets I’ve walked a million times. This is the amount of money I received for doing 19 of them – many of which were during the same walk. I’ll be using mine to pay for my next purple hair dye purchase ( Manic Panic Ultraviolet Amplified is my dye of choice if you’re curious).Įffort Involved: Job spotting takes maybe 2 seconds per job.
Payout Type: This app pays you in Amazon Gift Cards. Here are details of the apps and sites that I used to make a little money on the side without sacrificing the lazy lifestyle I love: JOB SPOTTER I downloaded all the apps she recommended (using her referral codes – I hope that helped Michelle!) and got to ‘work.’ Michelle had infected me with her enthusiasm and I’m happy to report I LOOOOVE this low effort app life. But watching Michelle’s phone ping throughout the weekend with the cash back she was receiving while we were chilling by Puget Sound or eating at my favorite sushi spot got the wheels in my head turning.Īfter she left and I had some time to reflect, I basically said “fuck it” and dove in. I had tried previously to download a few cash back apps that friends on Twitter recommended and found them annoying and unwieldy to even sign up for so I had deleted them.
So the document I created detailing possible side gigs faded from my memory UNTIL Michelle from Frugality & Freedom came to visit Seattle and excitedly talked about how she was making extra money with little to no effort (my favorite way to make dough 😉 ).Īt first I was hesitant to join her.
