We are both disabled older adults who earn money in a variety of ways from home. Over time, this website and blog will explore the various ways we bring in supplemental income from home. It will include insights into what works best for us, as well as the things we’ve learned to avoid or approach with caution.
Two of the platforms we use most frequently are Prolific and CloudResearch (formerly Cloud Connect). As a starting point, this is what we have each earned so far:




We will update these figures over time and share details about other income sources, ranging from project work and surveys to play-to-earn games and Zazzle stores. Our experience has taught us that being freelance Online Gig Workers is more successful when we have multiple streams of income to fall back on. As we grow our website, future blog posts will include links to relevant sections of our site, making it easier for readers to access more in-depth information on the topics discussed here.
We also plan to add videos to our YouTube channel and cross-reference them with posts on this website, making it easier for you to explore our journey in multiple formats.
Our ultimate goal is to create a supportive community for older adults and individuals with health challenges who are looking to bring in supplemental income.
Together, we can exchange advice, offer encouragement, and share what has worked well and what might be best avoided.
We invite you to join us on this journey, share your experiences, and explore new opportunities together.

together we can do so much”
