How can a lazy person make money?
Being lazy is something that we all fall victim to for many reasons, and one of the reasons why individuals prefer to slack off at work has to do with working conditions.
Stressful coworkers, a lack of motivation, and other issues
Especially now during this pandemic.
Working from home can also be a factor. It is not for everyone, and it tends to make others less productive.
So making money needs not be too hard. Anyone can start making extra cash or even start a new career at their own pace.
Below are just some of the many ways a work-shy person can try to be able to make money and may even start their own passive income.
Product/Service Testing Jobs
There are numerous companies that will let you try their products and keep them. While some pay for your product reviews. Some companies do not.
Some will just let you use the products, review them and that’s about it. I’ll mention a few of them later.
But first, let’s begin with those that will let you try or test products and services and you’ll get paid. This is awesome especially if the products or services are the ones you like.
I have to say I can work as a chocolate taster myself.
Chocolate Taster
Speaking of which. Yes, this is legitimate employment. I had to start with a chocolate tasting job because I recently spotted a job posting for a chocolate taster.
It needs no experience nor degree but it won’t hurt if you do. Companies will provide training if you have no experience.
This work may appear to be ideal for someone looking for simple and delicious employment.
However, it appears that this position is seasonal and not constantly available.
There is also a professional chocolate tasting job. If you want to take this career path
Working as a chocolate taster is a tasting profession, not an eating job, thus I don’t think it will make you fat.
If you want to check about this job I suggest checking local listings.
Or jobs near you. You might get lucky as some chocolate taster jobs are from both popular brands and from startup chocolate businesses.

you can also explore businesses and locally created products that could benefit from some marketing help.

And so much more. There are now legit companies that help businesses and even individuals whenever they need a crowd.
These companies look for people for movie extras as well as actors for backgrounds.
People for flash mobs, movie events, dancers, models, and so much more.

Cuddle
The first time I heard about this job was from an online Japanese magazine.
And that was way back in 2012. At that time I thought,
Why would people pay someone for hugs? And I mean just someone to cuddle them. I didn’t realize all the health-related benefits this can give to people.
And Japanese guys are noted for their dedication to their work.
So how can they feel better if they are single, orphaned, or have no one to cuddle with for any reason?
However, because of the epidemic, I would not recommend this profession right now. This could be a side hustle to try once things improve.
How to become a cuddler?
It’s pretty easy to become a cuddler. It doesn’t need any special skill but just the willingness to cuddle.
Just create an account from any of the legit sites that hire cuddlers.
You should check out the sites that cater to people who need cuddles even in your neighborhood.

In today’s fast-paced world, People will pay to be among the first to purchase the next iPhone, game consoles, DMV, and even the town’s newest food trend.

Perform
You could, in fact, be a complete show-stopper. Singing, dancing, cooking, and so forth are examples of activities. However, if you’re too lazy to complete all of these tasks,
Then strive to focus on one activity you enjoy doing that you believe will attract the audience’s attention.
Nowadays, there are a plethora of apps that allow users to live-stream themselves performing things such as singing, dancing, cooking, and other activities (legally, of course).
Although most people would automatically think of Tiktok. It’s not TikTok. These are many
video streaming apps that make money.
The more audience/followers, the more money you can make.
Just a heads up. This type of work may not be suitable for everyone.
I understand that many people are not made for performing live, and would only want privacy.
So who is this job for? For people who wanted to make extra money and have the talent and guts to perform for a live audience.
Many people earn up to $5000 a month doing this.

Believe it or not, there are people who are so busy that they have no time to gather all the people in one place.
Or relatives who can’t make it. Or just about any reason that needed a groomsman on their wedding day.
Plus this is usually location-based, So you can easily find one booking in your neighborhood.

You just need to be there to talk with, accompany with, coach, teach, listen to, share to, etc.
Pretty easy right? But how does this job really work?
This job is clearly not for everyone. But if you are choosing this kind of job, my advice is to set boundaries and know your limits.

Mourn
Although I have no experience with a mourning job, I do have experience watching a mourner.
Way back when I was around 12. My aunt brought me to Chinatown near our city to buy some fabric.
I went outside and saw some people crying like there’s no tomorrow.
I, later on, realized that a wake has just finished. My aunt told me that they are paid to cry. I was surprised.
I wasn’t expecting that as a kid. All I thought was they were in great pain because the acting was so believable I even felt bad for them.
My aunt even told me that the louder, the more tears, the better.
This is still a profession up to now. Mourners can get paid really well.
How to get paid to mourn?
This might be an odd kind of job. But if you are an actor and you won’t mind spending minutes to an hour crying,
Then this can be your job. This job can be found in Envisage.
But I’m sure there are at least one or two mourning jobs in your area.
This isn’t your average day job. Unless you want to become a professional mourner.
Stream online
An online streamer is another sort of video streaming kind of job just like the apps I mentioned for performers.
This on the other hand is a way to make money while playing games live. While a video game tester needs to apply for specific companies.
A streamer can make money playing his favorite/popular game to an audience.
This job may take some time to earn some cash.
But once set up and done right you can actually earn more than a typical 9-5 job and become a successful online streamer.

Many companies need sleepers for various reasons. A company hires sleepers to try their products such as

- Hotel Rooms
While some Institutes and Universities hire people for sleep-related experiments, projects, as well as sleeping pill trials.
Some travel bloggers get paid to test hotel bedrooms.
This job like most on this list is not an ordinary job that you can find easily.
And imagine the number of people trying to get these kinds of jobs.
In order to land such a dream job for many.
One must constantly check bed/ mattress companies. Just make sure you don’t leave your regular 9-5 job yet.

Because the pressure doesn’t hit me until the last hour.
When I have an urgent need to complete a task quickly, my creative juices begin to flow.
And those projects and homework received excellent grades. With flying colors, I completed my degree.
Final thoughts on Epic jobs for lazy people:
While working on this post and gathering jobs for lazy people.
I learned and realized that I was writing jobs that aren’t really for lazy people.
Because in general, People aren’t born lazy.
We just tend to slack off, get lazy, and unmotivated at work because of many various reasons.
Aside from what I already mentioned above like, stressful working environments, bossy bosses, Narcissist colleagues.
It’s because most of us get unmotivated because we don’t like what we do.
If you’ll notice that most of the jobs here really do require you to move, set up, and apply.
But for anyone who wants to work where they like and with less pressure and a happy environment.
Making anyone productive and not actually slacking at work.
I wish you all the best to work your way to your dream job.
