Random money making technology.... Do you ?
Chatting to a mate and he does random stuff from monitoring the pollution to things like this weather station.

they're basically data gathering for countless little reasons and if you hook up to 1 box you get a certain income, hook up to more, well you get more.
There's miners for gathering car information regarding wear and tear..
It all sounds crazy, he's doing stuff like sticking up a 4m pole on his roof to increase coverage....
However, he's getting a chunk of change in the bank for it.... So doesn't seem quite as daft as you'd think.

Re: Random money making technology.... Do you ?
How much money is he making, how much has he invested and how much work is required?

I'd say all in he's about £1300 and making £250-350 a month for not a lot of outlay. A chunk of the outlay was ages ago and has more than paid for itself.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 3:25 pm How much money is he making, how much has he invested and how much work is required?

That sounds pretty good, pay for a track day a month after 5 months.weeksy wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 3:26 pmI'd say all in he's about £1300 and making £250-350 a month for not a lot of outlay.

Re: Random money making technology.... Do you ?
with this new one, i think he'll be up to £600 a month soon. The only downside is having a massive tower hanging off the side of his house.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 3:43 pmThat sounds pretty good, pay for a track day a month after 5 months.weeksy wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 3:26 pmI'd say all in he's about £1300 and making £250-350 a month for not a lot of outlay.

Re: Random money making technology.... Do you ?
There are plenty of options (with renumeration from entry into prize draws, through vouchers, to cash money) for taking part in surveys, customer panels and research.
Not usually a big earner, but just needs spare time.

Re: Random money making technology.... Do you ?
I'm well boring.
300pcm would mean you're over the 1k a year threshold for a "tax free side gig", which then means I'd be paying 40% tax on it (assuming its taxed is income) which makes it much less attractive.
I could just not declare it...but, well, I'm not gonna do that.

Always a good start to a post
Some of the options that I listed are not taxable.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 6:59 pm

Also expenses to be offset.
And also a good dose of being @rsed (or inspired / motivated).

Re: Random money making technology.... Do you ?
I quite like the idea of fairly interesting, relatively self sufficient and lazy ways of making money like this as a means of weaning me off regular work and into full time shed tinkering.

Re: Random money making technology.... Do you ?
It could well involve a different type of regular shed-based tinking!
