Working, with no boss or mates
From home

I've been searching a bit but most things are usually, poker, filling polls, things that don't work. In general shit

I don't want big money neither. Just something in which there're no calls, meetings...

You can recommend me whatever you want but if you have experience on it better

I have. I have a site that at its peak was getting around 2.5k views a day, with an audience in a high affinity category for spending money.

I would do better than any other site at answering the search intent of my audience, and would direct people to where they could buy what they were searching for.

I used eBay and Amazon affiliate links to earn a commission whenever people bought things after clicking through my links.

At its height it used to bring in about 7k USD per month in profit. 2.3m in overall credited sales in it's best year.

Sadly, this model is being completely destroyed by ai search engines that intend to redirect all search traffic to their walled garden of paid advertising.
