Girlfriend got laid-off, ideas for her to make money?

So my girlfriend just got laid off and needs a way to make money for the next couple months while she tries to find a new job (no one is thinking about hiring right before Christmas/New Year). Any ideas for what she could do? Some type of small business idea? Something in the vein of dog walking/sitting, I dono. Anything she could pass out flyers for and try to get some extra cash. Any ideas? Thanks

SECfinanceHonestly, sites like Amazon MTurk.
dont those only pay like $5/hr on average? most of those jobs done in India/Philippines/China etc I would imagine

If you put in legit time on them and use sites like Reddit's HitsWorthTurkingFor they payout better. I never said it was the best way to make money, but if she's not going to get a real job then stuff like this and babysitting is the way to go.

You could support her over the next 2months as her Christmas present. I know: amazing idea. Thank me later.

We don't care. All we care for his girlfriend's sake is how fat your wallet is. and we don't expect a satisfactory answer.

Things get fat below my belt. Plenty of dough to throw around

 

I saw the title and expected almost every response to be something related to stripping/dancing/escort/etc., but I was wrong.

Good on you, WSO. Good on you.
