    With the little you wrote, you seem to be a good typist. Are there high schools and colleges near you? Students often need term papers typed. At universities, grad students need theses and dissertations typed. If you do any editing, your fee goes up accordingly.

    When I was home raising two sons, I did medical typing and typing for area students. Back then, I had to drive to the schools or medical offices to pick up work, but now with computers, nearly everything can be done electronically.

    I also wrote for publication and got paid for it. Your public library has writers' guides available (and they are also online) to tell you editors' names, publication needs, fee paid.

    Would any of this interest you?

    I sell on eBay. Each listing takes many minutes to take pictures, load them, describe the item, weigh it, make sure I have boxes and padding and tape, and handle the sale. All for a SMALL profit IF all goes well. Many stay at home parents do the same. It's very competitive and you must study and be attentive as you would for any career. There's nothing easy about it, and a lot can go wrong. But it helps get rid of stuff around the house, and end of season sales saved for the next year, or after a holiday.

    There are opportunities for answering phones, there are tutoring students both in US / Canada but using skype world wide. We tutor US students in subjects from China,
    There are surveys ( many are scams) but some do pay, now it may only be 30 dollars a week, but every dollar adds up.

    Many people buy and sell on eBay.

    So much depends on your skills
