Ideas for how I can make money
I had a great idea yesterday evening, during a livestream on Twitch. The broadcaster is raising money for charity, and I am live with them on voice chat. The written chat gave me a fantastic idea: Selling audio files of me talking about something. Maybe even a rant about a certain subject. That gave me an idea on how to make money: Invest in a good microphone, and then create a profile on Fiverr. Then sell audio files for £1, where I ramble on about something. Maybe a bigger amount, depending on the content. One of the guys in chat wanted to pay 50 euro for me reading the entirety of The Hobbit.. I am not sure if he was serious, but still.. 50 euro is a lot of money.Or maybe I should just look for more stable employment somewhere in Europe. Due to the pandemic, most of the jobs are work from home anyway, so I am not going to move to a different country. Yet.

He made a very good living being the different voices of a large variety of cartoon characters, including Bugs Bunny, Barney Rubble, Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig. At his death he was worth $25 Million and that would be worth a lot more now. He started in radio.
There is money to be made with voice overs now. But, usually its with a voice that is recognizable to the public.
For instance, Ellen (DeGeneres) does voice overs. There's other stars that read books for drivers to listen to.
Perhaps you could host a podcast for gamers ? Have top scorers come in and talk about their tricks for success. But, I would not give up a day job until the income from that exceeds your day job.
Focus on a stable income first and with some of the earnings invest in equipment to pull off your dream business, whatever that is.
