The Laziest Way To Make Money I've Found So Far

Bounty is the easiest way I've found to make money online. Companies pay you to make short videos about their product. You don't pitch anyone, you don't compete for briefs. You pick a company, they have a whole tab of content that's already viral, and you recreate it your way. Post it on TikTok or Instagram, link it back, and you get paid based on a flat rate plus views.

What they pay right now:

  • Talking head: $25 flat + $3.50 per 1k views
  • Skit: $15 flat + $2.50 per 1k views
  • Edit: $1.00 per 1k views 11
  • Slideshow: $1.00 per 1k views

Minimum 2,000 views to cash out. There's always content to make.

One video a day can get you to $1,000-2,000/month depending on views. Full access is a 30 second video of yourself talking. If your English is clear you're in.

I'm hiring people to film for me now. I pay them $10-15 per video, post on my accounts, collect the $25 + CPM myself. 10 people at 1 video a day and the math works out pretty well.

🔥 Hot ▲ 156 r/getdisciplined+3 crossposts

I've been using ChatGPT daily for two years. These are the only prompts I actually go back to every single week.

Not the most impressive ones. The ones that actually stuck.

When my brain is full and I can't think straight:

Here's everything in my head: [dump it]

Separate urgent from just-feels-urgent.
Tell me what I'm avoiding.
Give me three things to do first.
Nothing else.

When I have to write something I've been putting off:

I need to write [describe it] and 
I keep avoiding it.

Ask me three questions that will make 
this easier to write once I answer them.
Wait for my answers before writing anything.

When something isn't working and I can't see why:

Here's what I'm doing: [describe]
Here's the result I keep getting: [describe]
Here's what I've tried: [list]

Don't give me solutions yet.
Tell me what I'm probably assuming 
that might be wrong.
Then ask me one question.

When I need to make a decision I keep avoiding:

I keep going back and forth on this: [describe]

Tell me which option I've already chosen 
emotionally based on how I described it.
Tell me the assumption I haven't tested.
Tell me what I'm actually afraid of.

Don't tell me what to do.
Just make me see it clearly.

When I need to reply to something difficult:

I need to reply to this: [paste message]
What I want to happen: [outcome]
What I'm worried about: [concern]

Three versions:
Direct and short.
Warm and detailed.
A question instead of a statement.

Five prompts. Use at least three of them every single week.

Ive got ten other automations I run every week without thinking. The others cover client emails, meeting notes, messy inboxes, weekly resets, proposals, and a few others that have saved me more time than I expected. I’m happy to share them all to the group of them if anyone wants it. It’s here, but totally optional

how i'd build a micro UGC agency from $0 using bounty

Been on bounty for a bit now. here's the rate card after their latest update:

  • talking head: $25 base + $3.50 per 1k views
  • skit: $15 base + $2.50 per 1k views
  • edit: $1.00 per 1k views
  • slideshow: $1.00 per 1k views

2k view minimum to cash out. you pick a company, browse their viral inspiration, recreate the content, post on tiktok/ig, link it back. cash out whenever.

the math solo:

1 talking head a day averaging 5k views = ($25 + $17.50) x 30 = $1,275/month

1 talking head a day averaging 20k views = ($25 + $70) x 30 = $2,850/month

even at the bare minimum 2k views = ($25 + $7) x 30 = $960/month

the math with a team:

this is where it gets interesting. i got 3 friends on the platform doing talking heads. bounty pays them directly so i'm not fronting anything. i just told them which companies get the most views and which formats actually perform because i already spent 2 weeks figuring that out.

5 people doing 1 video a day at 5k avg views = $6,375/month total output. take a 20% cut for running the operation = $1,275/month on top of your own videos. your team still makes more than they would grinding $8 canvas ugc elsewhere.

the real arbitrage:

after a couple weeks you know which companies on the platform get views and which don't. you know which hooks work. everyone else is guessing. you're pointing your team at the exact stuff that pays out. that information gap is the whole edge.

how i'd do it if i started today:

  1. start limited. do a few edits and slideshows to learn how the platform works
  2. get full access (it's just a 30 second talking video, if your english is clear you're in)
  3. do 10-15 videos yourself. track what gets views
  4. bring in 3-5 people who can talk to a camera. share what you learned
  5. everyone makes more because nobody's guessing anymore

zero dollars in. the platform handles all the payments. you're just the person who figured out what works first.

anyone else running a setup like this on any platform? curious how it compares.

I've been running Claude like a business for six months. These are the only five things I actually set up that made a real difference.
🔥 Hot ▲ 131 r/passive_income

I've been running Claude like a business for six months. These are the only five things I actually set up that made a real difference.

Teaching it how I write — once, permanently:

Read these three examples of my writing 
and don't write anything yet.

Example 1: [paste]
Example 2: [paste]
Example 3: [paste]

Tell me my tone in three words, what I 
do consistently that most writers don't, 
and words I never use.

Now write: [task]

If anything doesn't sound like me 
flag it before including it.

Turning call notes into proposals:

Turn these notes into a formatted proposal 
ready to paste into Word and send today.

Notes: [dump everything as-is]
Client: [name]
Price: [amount]

Executive summary, problem, solution, 
scope, timeline, next steps.
Formatted. Sounds human.

Building a permanent Skill for any repeated task:

I want to train you on this task so I 
never explain it again.

What goes in and what comes out: [describe]
What I always want: [your rules]
What I never want: [your rules]
Perfect output example: [show it]

Build me a complete Skill file ready 
to paste into Claude settings.

Turning rough notes into a client report:

Turn these notes into a client report 
I can send today.

Notes: [dump everything]
Client: [name]
Period: [month]

Executive summary, what we did, results 
as a table, what's next.
Formatted. Ready to paste into Word.

End of week reset:

Here's what happened this week: [paste notes]

What moved forward.
What stalled and why.
What I'm overcomplicating.
One thing to drop.
One thing to double down on.

None of these are complicated. All of them are things I use every single week without thinking about it.

Ive got a document of the best ones i use here if anyone wants to swipe it

Is there anything I can do as a SAHM without using AI?

I officially started my small houseplant business last month, but I’d love something passive to help with household bills. Right now my plants are only bringing in an extra $100-200 monthly. I’m a stay at home mom to two under 5 so I don’t have a ton of extra time or energy. Also, doing a home daycare wouldn’t work until our yard is cleared up more.

Everyone here seems to promote AI and I hate that. Until we learn how to make the AI centers so they aren’t killing the planet, I’m against using it.

What’s a financial 'rule of thumb' that you think is actually terrible advice in the current economy?

We’ve all heard the classics: "Don't spend more than 30% of your income on housing," or "Always put 20% down on a home to avoid PMI." But with the way the world looks in 2026—between the current housing market, the cost of groceries, and how much "entry-level" everything has increased—a lot of that old-school advice feels like it was written for a different planet.

For me, it’s the "Emergency funds should only be 3-6 months of expenses" rule. With how volatile the job market has been lately and how long it takes to actually land a new role, 6 months feels like the absolute bare minimum, not the goal. Staying at 3 months feels like playing with fire.

Passive income opportunity!

Hey. I've built a very powerful tool for local small businesses to understand how visible they are online. Most small businesses, beauty salons, party planners, tradesmen, local shops, etc, think that a facebook page and a wix website is them set and done. They need not wonder any more.

These 30 checks together provide a full, end‑to‑end assessment of a local business’s online visibility, showing how well it performs across search, reviews, website quality, social presence, directory coverage, and AI discovery, and then turning that analysis into a clear score, a projected improvement path, and a personalised action plan.

I have done my due diligence and tested it on 10+ local businesses to me, with 5* reviews on both google and facebook business pages. There is a free report available, with a paid for report available for copy-paste fixes + the rest of the report.

This has been a well thought out project, its certainly not chatGPT with a cloak on. It uses multiple APIs, as well as calls into multiple different AI LLMs to get the results from all checks performed. All completed for any business in under 2 minutes by utilising 14 different agents, most working in parallel.

If this feels like something you would be interested in marketing and earning 50% commission. Hit me up and i'll create a ref code for you!

Ideas for passive income that don’t suck

I want to start earning money while I sleep . Not rich yet, just looking for small stuff that actually works. Tried some apps, watched YouTube… feels like 50/50 if it’s legit.

Anyone here making passive income for real? Stocks, crypto, online stuff, whatever.

I thought I would give some affiliates a go!

I thought I would give some affiliates a go!

ok so ive been reading this sub for ages and always thought affiliate marketing was kind of a scam or at least overhyped. but i finally tried it and im kinda shocked at the results so far

bit of background - i do social media management as a side thing and theres this smm panel i use for my clients. they have an affiliate program where you get commission when people you refer place orders. figured id give it a go since i already use the thing anyway

heres basically what i did:

  • made a landing page on carrd (took like 20 mins lol)
  • wrote a couple guest posts for marketing blogs, just "tools i use" type stuff nothing groundbreaking
  • spent about $120 on reddit ads targeting marketing/entrepreneur subs
  • answered some quora questions and linked back to my page

so 3 weeks in and im at $780ish in commission. screenshot in post.

like what?? i genuinely thought id make maybe $50 and give up lmao

the reddit ads actually worked way better than i thought they would. about 5% of people who click end up signing up which seemed high to me but idk maybe the targeting was just good. and then once theyre signed up you earn on everything they buy going forward so it kinda compounds

the guest posts are doing the heavy lifting now tbh. theyre just sat there bringing in traffic and i dont have to do anything. wish id started doing that sooner

not trying to say this is some get rich quick thing, $780 in 3 weeks isnt gonna change my life but for like 15 hours of actual work and $120 in ads thats pretty decent right?? and its mostly passive now which is the wild part

anyone else doing affiliate stuff for saas/tools? curious what other peoples experience has been. also happy to talk about the guest posting thing if anyones interested cos that was probably the best move i made

Struggling after job loss in Dubai — any quick side hustles to survive?”

Hey guys,

I hope you’re all doing well. I wanted to reach out because I’m currently in a really tough situation and could use some advice.

I’m based in Dubai, and due to the recent situation in the Middle East, I was laid off from my job. Right now, I’m in urgent need of money just to cover basic things like food and groceries.

I’ve been trying to find small gigs or side hustles online, but most opportunities seem to be limited to the US, UK, or EU, which makes it really difficult for someone in my position. On top of that, I don’t have any money to invest into starting something.

If anyone has suggestions for global-friendly side hustles, quick gigs, or any way to make even a small amount of money online or locally without upfront costs, I would truly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance for any help.
