No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Is it $20 before or after tax? Can she afford to put some money in it to start with? Is she good at something unique or special?
If she has the energy, she could pick up streaming or YouTube video.. There seems to be some interest at how people with disabilities live and manage everyday hurdles but also their thoughts on life in general!
Many people with disabilities also can make some money selling art or other services that they might be good at.
Just consider that making money may in some countries substract from the financial support already offered by whatever country you may be in
Please note that every day thousands of people try to start with streaming/YouTube/TikTok etc. and almost all of them fail. It's not impossible to make money, but it super hard and most people never make anything. I would never recommend anybody do it with the intent or expectation to make any money. Just do it for the fun of it and if you happen to make some money, great!
I think that if you have the personality for it and something unique to talk about, i dont think that its that unlikelly. Especially if the target is $20 a day.
Viewers are very curious and id guess that a steamer with a vissible dissability could attract a fair bit of users. I know its all about exhibiting ones personal side but i've seen suggestions here for making porn so it is maybe not that extreme
There is a survivor bias to big YouTubers. All of the ones who make it to 10,000 subscribers are already beating one in a million odds. It's a total longshot. That's why you need to go into it not caring about money. Because it's super unlikely, like winning the lottery unlikely, that you will make any money at all.
Yup. I went to school with somebody who was big into youtubing, he had professional Sony software for editing snd everything. The guy only had at most 20 subscribers and he'd been doing it for a while.
I dont know. Personally i am pretty boring. Made it to 2 x $50 on twitch though before i chose to delete my account. I know that this is nothing t really but still its cool cash for gaming. I did put in an effort but to be fair i wouldn't watch myself. I dont even watch others steam!
If you've got it in you and kind of have a feeling for what people want (best to look at what you prefers and give them that) then I'd say the odds are a lot better than winning the lottery
It is possible, but not likely. And even if you can succeed, it usually takes months or often years to build up to $20/day.
Until you build a youtube channel up to 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time, you are not even eligible to apply to be in the youtube payment program.
Will she get taxed for such a low income?
$20 a day is $7200 a year; probably not.
But if she's on disability pay, it might get cut by that amount.
All income is required to be reported and taxed.
If you are below a certain threshold annually you will get that tax refunded.
I believe you typically get the money withheld, and if when you file are determined not to have any tax liability, you get a refund between what you paid and what you owe. That's just like anyone else, but that second number happens to be zero. I swear there's an option in a W4 that you had/expect to have your tax liability be zero as well, but of course if you turn out to be wrong you're in for a world of hurt
