EDIT: Translation - ‘quid’ means £1 … British slang.

Not saying I have the time to host it right now, but there’s a lot of ‘free’ money to be made in referral links to various offers. Most of these offers truly only take about 5 minutes.

Some are a bit more elaborate but still easy - and technically better paying than many of our jobs per hour, I bet. Don’t expect it to cover your rent of course, but an extra 30 quid here and there really racks up. I’ve seen lots of people make an extra 1500 yearly by essentially doing nothing.

Anyway, with these referral links, not only might we all end up a little better off and less stressed, but I think it opens up much more ‘mutual-aid’ ability - I certainly feel more generous when it’s ‘free money’ that I’m giving away.

Currently, I’m using referral links from total randoms on Reddit, meaning half of the referral money is going to some Reddit bloke, when actually it could be going to one of us, or even towards hexbears maintenance fees. If a hexbear admin had a referral link to all of these offers, they could end up with 200 quid in their account from just one post…

I get there’s probably privacy issues with it, but to me it seems like a good idea.

Like an octopus with extra legs. Brits use the legs as currency, but cause of how they talk it sounds like quid.
