Comment on What are ways to independently make a few bucks on the side?
BotsRuinedEverything@lemmy.world 2 days agoYep. $500/mo if you donate twice per week. For your first 5 donations you usually make like double that amount.
When I used to drive Uber I would start my driving day with a donation and that would be my gas money for my shift. I would turn that $500 into like $3500

If you like scarred veins, bone density problems, and assuming the financial risk of any infections this is a great idea.
They never really seem to mention that in the materials for some reason.
On the other hand, if it’s that or being homeless some decisions are easy.

Idk. I donated for years without any negative side effects ever. You lay in a bed and scroll on your phone. It’s really not a big deal. The phlebotomists are skilled at what they do and I’ve never seen anything that could be described as poor standards and practices.
Believe whatever article you read. Ive donated hundreds of times.

Sure, you might be fine. Statistically there is a difference, though.
