I ran into the same problem — everything “remote” I found was full-time or stuck in 9–5 hours. What helped me bridge the gap was app/game testing in the evenings. No resume, no fixed schedule, and I was consistently making $100–$150 a week just using my laptop after the kids went to bed.

I tried using them in the past, but a few issues came up, so I decided not to continue. However, I’ve heard that many people make a steady income with Arise, as they offer customer service, sales, and tech support roles depending on what companies need seasonally. Arise essentially acts as a middleman, connecting companies with job seekers. While I might give them another try someday, my current focus is on building my skills in bookkeeping and finding a role that pays around $15 an hour. I’m saving for a move from Texas to Oregon in the next three years, so right now, I’m prioritizing my bookkeeping work and completing some additional certification programs.
