Something I've been doing these past few months is freelance article writing. I've been working with a website owner I hooked up with via GetAFreelancer.com, getting about $4 an article. Which, for the time I'm able to devote to it, adds up to about $100 a week.
The upside is that I can do this side work from home, and can be pretty flexible in my schedule. The downside is that it is still work, and takes time from things I'd rather be doing. Such as editing novelage, or just plain writing, or spending time with significant others.
Anyway, GetAFreelancer.com is what I wanted to point you towards. The bulk of it is set up to cater to programmer types, which is what I initially thought I'd be doing. But it turned out that most of the programming jobs I could theoretically do required more skills than I had, or would have required mega-hours for micro-pay. But they also have proofreading and copyediting sections, which is where I found the freelance article writing work.
Fortunately, I'm now in a position where I think I can step away from freelance article writing. The money came in handy, but the work was kind of crappy. But, bucks is bucks.
