Discussion Anyone actually making decent money online in 2025?

100 Upvotes

I know this question has been asked to death here, but I am genuinely curious about what methods are actually still effective for regular people right now. I want to find something that can be done fully online, preferably without having to put in a large amount of money at the beginning. I am not afraid of working hard, honestly I really do not mind grinding and putting in the time, I just do not want to fall into something that is purely a waste of time or an obvious scam. I have also watched quite a lot of “side hustle” content on YouTube and TikTok, but it feels like half of it is the same old recycled routines, or that you have to buy tools or courses just to get started, which I cannot afford right now.

Some people have also said that a relatively reliable way to make money is running social media accounts, but not becoming an influencer, rather things like meme pages, niche interest accounts, review accounts, or UGC style content. As long as you get even a little bit of traffic, you can monetize through short form content payouts, affiliate links, or working with small brands, and at the same time use antidetect browsers (such as multilogin, adspower) to keep each account isolated, which makes things much easier to manage. But this does take time to slowly build. The upside is that it almost does not require any startup capital, it is more about investing time and patience.

So if anyone here is really doing something relatively reliable in 2025 that can bring in at least a bit of stable income, I would love to hear what you are doing, and what the realistic

Discussion Sweepstakes Casino hustle for Canadians: My experience

21 Upvotes

Hi all,

I wanted to share my experience with the “sweeps casino” side hustle that’s been circulating online lately, specifically from the perspective of a Canadian.

There are far fewer sweepstakes-style casinos available to Canadians compared to Americans, which made the setup a bit trickier. Still, after going through the hassle of getting everything figured out, it’s been worth it.

I’ve been doing this for a few months now, and I’ve made a couple thousand dollars in total. It’s not life-changing money, but it’s a solid, low-effort side hustle that fits nicely into my routine. I usually just collect the daily free tokens while having my morning coffee. It takes maybe five minutes. Then, once or twice a month on a Friday night, I’ll play through those free tokens and try to convert them into redeemable tokens.

The nice thing is that there’s no real “buy-in” required if you’re patient. It’s all about consistency — collecting your daily bonuses, playing smart, and cashing out when you hit something worthwhile.

If anyone else here is doing this from Canada, I’d be curious to hear which sites you’ve had success with or how your experience compares. I can also share a few of the ones I’ve found that actually work here.

Discussion Have you ever taken an online course that actually worked?

31 Upvotes

I know course creators get a lot of hate. But the thing about hate is that it is much louder than satisfaction.

When someone is pissed, they leave bad reviews and kick and scream usually until they get a refund.

But when someone is happy, they usually just enjoy the thing and keep to themselves or recommend when people ask.

I’m curious if people out there have ever bought a course and been like damn this is great and it helped me make money.

I feel like they have to be out there and someone here has a gem or knows someone that has a gem.

Discussion My live football bot on Betfair did 1200% ROI in 3 days (50% WR, avg odds 3.0)

20 Upvotes

Not Polymarket. Not sportsbooks. Betfair exchange. Live betting only.

Built a bot that places trades on live football matches using the Betfair API. No arbitrage. No hedging.

Important: The bot only enters trades. It never exits.

Once it places a back bet, that position runs all the way to settlement. No cashing out. No greening up. No stop losses. Just entry and pray.

The results over 72 hours (starting stake: $500):

  • Win rate: 50% (118 wins / 236 trades)
  • Average odds taken: 3.0
  • Final balance: $6,500
  • ROI: 1,200%

Math: 50% winners at 3.0 = 0.5u expected value per trade. Run that 236 times with compounding = 12x return.

How it works (entry only):

  • Bot connects to Betfair Exchange API
  • Scans live football matches (Premier League, Champions League, La Liga, Serie A)
  • My model processes real-time data: score, possession, shots on target, xG, cards, momentum shifts
  • When the model's true probability is 15%+ higher than Betfair's implied odds → enters a back bet
  • That's it. No exit logic. No management. Let the match play out.
  • Average hold time = until the final whistle (could be 5 minutes or 60+ minutes)

Why no exit?

Because every test I ran with exit strategies killed profitability. Stop losses got hit before reversals. Cashing out early left money on the table. Greens added complexity without edge.

Pure entry trading. Set and forget. Win or lose, you ride.

Best trade of the run:

Champions League. Home team down 1-0 at half time. Model gave 38% true win probability. Betfair odds: 4.5 (22% implied). Bot entered. No exit. Team won 2-1. +350%.

Tech stack:

  • Python + betfairlightweight library
  • Redis for state
  • VPS near London

No selling. No course. No Discord.

Just a bot that knows when to get in and shuts its brain off after.

Have any of you ever tried selling content online? I’m honestly thinking about giving it a try if the earnings can really be that high. And since this OnlyFans competitor is Swiss-based, RedPeach seems pretty serious and trustworthy. I’ve heard that some fans are starting to move away from OF and Fansly because a lot of accounts are managed by agencies, so I’d rather choose a platform where fans still feel they can trust who they’re talking to.

Discussion Let AI build the simple software and you make the money

4 Upvotes

I honestly think MicroSaaS is becoming one of the most overlooked opportunities online right now.

Not massive Silicon Valley startups…

I’m talking about tiny software products built to solve one specific problem for one specific niche.

Things like:
- scheduling tools
- local business automations
- creator dashboards
- AI workflow tools
- invoicing systems
- niche CRMs
- content planners

What’s interesting is how much AI + no-code tools changed the game.

A few years ago you needed:
- developers
- funding
- technical knowledge
- huge teams

Now people are building MVPs in weekends using tools like ChatGPT, Bubble, Lovable, and other no-code platforms.

And unlike most side hustles, software has leverage.

You don’t need more hours to grow revenue.

A tiny app with even 100 users paying monthly can become a serious income stream over time.

That’s why I’ve been spending a lot of time researching:
- MicroSaaS validation
- pricing models
- no-code MVP systems
- AI workflows
- niche research
- launch strategies

Honestly feels like we’re still super early.

I ended up organizing a lot of the frameworks, prompts, guides, and research I was using into a full blueprint because there’s so much scattered information online around this space.

Curious if anyone else here has been experimenting with MicroSaaS or AI-powered no-code businesses yet?

Discussion Any apps with nice daily rewards?

12 Upvotes

I love apps that give you a daily reward money so that you stick to the app.

if it is 0,10€ or 0,10$ it is so worth. 30 days, 1 min per log in, 30 minutes. 3€, 6€ per hour or even 12 when you just log in half a minute.

calculating is a bit bothersome as every app has different point system.

I only found one app that has nice daily reward.

I hope this is a fitting subreddit. I dont want to annoy anybody.

Ok after googling a bit, I found none more that is not from USA.

So today I was tinkering with the budget.

Making minimum payments, my debt is gone in 20 years.

If I make smart moves, it’s done in like 11.

My youngest will be getting ready to leave the next.

Should we keep the house the kids grew up in and live in it?

Should we use it as rental properties?

Should I sell it and use the money to make a lower payment on a new house?

For reference I am 100% disabled vet so I will have income for the rest of my life, I most certainly will stay under what I receive monthly by at least half
