Tbh I’ll need more details:

* where are you in the world? * what do you need $2000/m for? * how much are you earning now? * do you have savings? * do you have friends? * do you have family? * whats your education level? * what is your background? * what are you interested in doing?

If it's a one time thing, be part of a medical study. I think giving some random body fluids/part also will also get you paid.

QA testing is a pretty low barrier to entry gig. It's not exactly exciting work but it'll pay 50k+ per year and is a full time job usually (so benefits). The job will vary depending on where you go though. Some places will just need people to click around an app, other places will require some scripting/basic programming skills. It's just about finding the right company

This may or may not be a viable option for you, but I'd definitely recommend promotional work (handing out flyers, sign flipping). Can't speak for the US, but in very hard times I've done it in the UK, and it's been a great cash injection.

2000 on top of your current income or instead of it?

If you're in a western country, I'd get into washing windows and cleaning Venetian blinds.
