Ask HN: How can I make money when I am bored?

I am bored now. I am looking for work to do. I already have a full-time job but sometimes I want to do something different and make money. I don't want a regular part-time job. I don't want to waste my time by searching for freelance jobs. Is there a way?

One option - learn a trade. When I get really bored I take on painting and decorating jobs. I have a friend who is a mechanical engineer who does plumbing on the side.

Do you have any hobbies? If so you might be able to spin up some spare coin from those.

One idea: Start a mailing list about a topic that you know and that other people want to learn. Write to them once a week with a valuable piece of information. Once you hit 200 subscribers write an ebook that summarizes everything you say in your letters in one place.

Futures as well, however, it's not so easy.
