Posting this in sheitels because this is about a sheitel! I thought all night about posting this and I decided to go for it.

About a year and a half ago I posted about my change from 10 years in tichels back to sheitels and the lack of extra cash to get something to wear. BH I was able to buy a cheap fall which I wear a lot, but it's so painful and I can't wear it every day. Someone else told me about a gemach who was able to send me a beautiful sheitel for free, which is so nice, but it's a "Frankenwig", meaning a lot of work and cutting of the cap, etc. was done to it before it became mine, and the hair line sits so far above my own, people stare at me in public and I've been asked why I don't have a wig that fits. I took it to be fixed and this is the best the pro can do. It's fine, but it's super uncomfortable physically and emotionally to wear.

SO. Now it's been about 1.5 years back in sheitels and I'm so glad I made the change! Many of you gave me chizzuk and it really helped me so much. I feel so much better about myself now! I am at work now in my 11 year old sheitel and even this feels better than what I was doing before.

I found a sheitel that will meet my needs, and I have $500 saved up for it (thank you SO MUCH to the amother who posted on here about online surveys, I made it all from there!).

My actual question, and I am posting this under my screenname to give this post authenticity. Does anyone have any leads for a remote data entry job that can be done in the evening? I have a full time job and a part time job, and I just need something to make a "quick" $1500. The surveys earn about $150 a month which is AMAZING and a total gift from HKBH, and I know I can keep plugging away at it and I will. BUT if someone had a lead to a temp job to earn the rest of the money I need in the next few weeks, I would really appreciate any and all leads and ideas!

Maybe you can offer a service to do something for purim.
Prep MM
Cook foods

( I would like to know about the surveys thing. I can use quick cash too)

A full time job AND a part time job and a part time work too? How many hours do you make each week?

Great suggestion! But where I live, MM are all super simple and this is not a service that would be useful here - think: bag of chips and wafer.

(Survey site is cloudresearch)

What color are you? I have a 4 year old lace top that I don’t wear anymore. It’s not perfect but it’s not bad

Interesting, AI training! I will google that! (ETA - you need certifications apparently, or experience in specific fields, which I don't have sadly!)

Surveys - cloudresearch.

https://www.dataannotation.tech/ does not require any certifications. You have to take entry exams to try getting accepted and it’s very hard to pass but I do think it would be up your alley if you got in. Sadly I didn’t get in.

They pay 20+ an hour 1099.

Have you ever tried getting accepted to Prolific? I take surveys on prolific and earn about $200 a month. It’s another good option. I doubt you have time for it though!

Somebody once posted about a platform where you tutor Asian kids in English. No prep or anything required, they provide everything and you just dona zoom session with the kids
Due to the time difference you can do it in the evenings

Anyone remember the name of the platform?

It's VIPKid.com, which I looked into but the hours I can do don't work for them from the last time I looked.
(ETA - I looked on there again and created a profile because it seems you can create your own hours now since the last time I looked. We'll see where this goes, but it's still $7/lesson and it's not enough for my need at this time, but I'll give it a go!)

Keep the ideas coming please!
