Because my small business income doesn’t fully support myself, I find other ways to make money. Below are referral links to two job apps, Instawork and Wonolo.
I have only used Wonolo so far. Most of their listings have disappeared in my area, so it may not be a great option. Some of the jobs I did pick up were fairly decent. One was delivering prescription medications from the pharmacy to individuals. It paid a flat rate of $80.00 and would only take about two hours. The other jobs I did involved physical labor.
It’s sad but one was cleaning tables and sweeping the floor and that caused my shoulders to hurt so I have not been able to pick up any new jobs that involve physical labor or repetitive movements. That is one reason I need my small business to work or find income from other sources. It’s also probably a cause for some of my depression, my main skills in life were physical labor so now I feel pretty useless. It’s probably some my own fault, I have always felt I had something to prove to the world and I pushed myself physically even while in pain, now it’s caught up with me.
The good thing about the below options is you sign up for jobs for one shift at a time. If you have an extra 4 - 8 hours you can fit in somewhere then you can pick up work on short notice and without any commitment beyond that. I also like having a variety of jobs, I get bored easily so it keeps things interesting to work for a different company each week (when I was working).
Even if I can’t work most jobs now, I hope someone out there uses my referral links, it helps me and hopefully it will help you as well if you are looking for work!

Blog post #3
Yesterday I managed to to several hours of work. I filled my car up with junk to take from the store to home. Today I have failed again so far. I got caught up looking at the stock market and Reddit. Somehow most of the day is gone and all I did was price a few things. I probably have an addiction to the Internet. If I get to work now then at least I will have three hours to be productive. So far my personal accountability attempts are not working out so great. I hope by writing this out it will show how pathetic I am, if I say I spend the entire day on Reddit then you would say that’s pathetic, stop being lazy. Can’t run a business if you don’t try.
