AI stuff has dried up for me, anyone know a way I could make a little over a grand online by month end? I've got plenty of time to throw at whatever is out there.

With that timeframe you might be better off watching nextdoor, craigslist, and Facebook for local gigs like yardwork and moving boxes and the like. Or posting yourself maybe. Had a friend making an extra few hundred a week helping people after work and on weekends with their lawns and housekeeping and whatnot.

Online stuff:

Prolific.com surveys can be decent. Not good hourly rate but can fill in some cracks, maybe couple hundred bucks. Pays quickly to PayPal upon request.

Usertesting is a site I've never done but seen people potentially make a lot in their first couple months

Swagbucks is usually pennies but depending on offers you might be able to make a couple hundred bucks.

I'd keep checking dataannotation for approval, that'd be the highest hourly and instant payouts.

Mturk and clickworker (uhrs primarily) were my main sources of income at different times, but I haven't used them in a while. May take a while to approve and payout.

3playmedia seems to be hiring voice writers, not sure what the work entails but the company is legit. Used to be my main source of income for years doing regular captioning.

Other names I'm seeing in online work discussions: intellizoom, verbit, respondent, cloud connect, proxypics, alignerr, outlier.

Also various online CS jobs that don't pay great. Phone or chat. Depending on your certs some might pay better.

Focus groups can pay 200+ if you can find them.
