Ask HN: What tasks would you outsource to a 'non-developer' for $100/m?

Hi HN,

I currently work full-time, but needing/wanting to supplement my income by an extra $1k USD/m.

What kind of potentially recurring tasks are high-value, non-technical (at least require no programming skills) that you would consider outsourcing to a freelancer?

Clearly a very broad question, but open to different responses.

I have some design skills, a lot of sales experience, and a lot of training/learning experience.

    Maintaining a research web crawler/spider. Every few days it is launched from a command line, after few basic checks are done to the previous batch.

    Can you please edit your question. Are you offering to work for a month for $100 or for a minute for $100?

    If you were willing to be paid commission I would think your sales experience could easily earn that.

    I could outsource content writing, data validation n sanitization, some primary research etc.
