^ Yeah, to be an Uber driver requires more commitment than you might imagine: an expensive car, a clean appearance and a polite manner. Because they have this star-grading system you can find yourself bumped from Uber if you're not taking enough rides or failed to polish your hubcaps before setting out: happened to a relative of mine.
A sidegig for OH could be teaching English online. Though I've never tried it myself I think the pay per hour is pretty good when you've established yourself. You offer your services on a forum and if someone takes the bait and likes their class, they'll give you a good rating. Thus your forum profile looks better and you can crank up your fees.
You can probably start with less outlay than for Uber: i'm guessing:-
- webcam plus mike
- book of grammar
- haircut
- backcloth to hide the disaster zone that is your living quarters
