I will check out The Penny Hoarder. I have been watching YouTube videos that suggest side gig jobs but lots of those websites require you to pay a joiner's fee. No thanks. I have to penny pinch. If I can't join the website for free to do gig work, then I feel like that website is just like a recruiter -- taking a commission from the job seeker without the promise of connecting the job seeker to a job.

Yeah, the part that's helpful about the Penny hoarder is their section on remote work. It has a bunch of ideas. I hope it helps. Of course not all of them apply to everyone but such is the case with job searches.
I would prefer a job that would not involve a recruiter. I mean perhaps recruiters are fine, but just don't pay them a fee to get a potential job for you. That's at least what I would think. The employment search should be entirely free, in my opinion.
