What are the jobs that you guys have?

How are you making money these days? Do you have a job? If you are not working, what other ways are you making money or who/what is helping you out?

Places things in spoilers, if you rather not reveal too much.

Thoughts and feelings?

I’m currently unemployed, and only make money from selling my books and leeching off my parents. ¯\_(ﭢ)_/¯

Cool.

Do you write fiction as a hobby or not really?

Just a hobby. Never really thought about publishing or anything cuz I just kinda write stuff for myself ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I mean my books on Amazon. They don’t bring in much, but it’s a little pocket change every month. ¯\_(ﭢ)_/¯

That’s why I say the rest of you should seriously consider self-publishing if you’re not already. I’d definitely recommend publishing a series rather than standalones like mine, though.

Ah, I see. Yeah, that makes sense.

Wow, thanks for letting me know. I plan on going with the series route anyway.
Thanks once again.

Broke grad school student still living with parents, occasionally work DoorDash for some extra bucks

Ah, I see.

Does DoorDash pay well or does it depend sometimes?

2 Likes

It’s ok for some extra cash, but it depends on what time of day you work, whether DoorDash is doing any bonuses at that time, and of course, tips

I wouldn’t rely on it to support myself with how much the pay varies, though its been good for when I want to buy something nice

I have multiple jobs that I work from home because disability wooooo. I wouldn’t really call them “making money” because it immediately goes down the drain in medical expenses ;-;

But yeah I’m a full time author and editor with casual jobs in education and archiving currently
