Log of side hustles, 2nd jobs and what they paid.

I like to think of myself of a side job ninja. I manage to fill my time if I want to with all manner of roles to supplement my full time employment, pay off some debt and increase my income. I thought it might be interesting to post a diary of what the role or hustle was and what I ended up being paid in any given month. If others want to jump in and post about their exploits then it might have the added benefit of informing others whether to pursue something like this or even avoid and give people ideas or show the wealth of opportunity to make a few extra pennies there are out there.
I'm hoping this is a log of monthly activity rather than any in depth detail about the role or where you found the opportunity. You have to search for these roles and opportunities and they are often location, time or person specific so it's not the same for everyone, Sometimes I do the role just because it has potential to be interesting or might benefit my career, so no judgement if you have roles that don't pay well or you make very little at. It's all valid. I'm hoping this will be an interesting, no judgement and useful resource for others. You get the idea.
