So I was just brainstorming a bit thinking of ways to earn a little extra without the responsibilities of actual employment, meaning you can do it when there’s time and put it on hold if you have to. Personally I like crafting so I could imagine having something like a little etsy store. I could carve beads from wood, antler or bone and turn them into jewelry. Something like that. That wouldn’t just be a way to make money but also sounds like a nice hobby. Not sure how financially feasible it would be though, maybe someone here already has some experience? But yeah I’d love to hear about your ideas/advice. Anything that’s legal and not exploitative, be it entirely independent or also freelancing stuff that doesn’t require special training.
Yep. $500/mo if you donate twice per week. For your first 5 donations you usually make like double that amount.
When I used to drive Uber I would start my driving day with a donation and that would be my gas money for my shift. I would turn that $500 into like $3500
If you like scarred veins, bone density problems, and assuming the financial risk of any infections this is a great idea.
They never really seem to mention that in the materials for some reason. There’s a reason Grifols is based in Spain but has to get most of their blood from Americans instead of Europe and it’s not because American health regulations care about poor people.
On the other hand, if it’s that or being homeless some decisions are easy.
Idk. I donated for years without any negative side effects ever. You lay in a bed and scroll on your phone. It’s really not a big deal. The phlebotomists are skilled at what they do and I’ve never seen anything that could be described as poor standards and practices.
Believe whatever article you read. Ive donated hundreds of times.
“I’ve smoked for years without any negative side effects ever”
Sure, you might be fine. Statistically there is a difference, though.
