seriously, you could even get free stuff on Craigslist then turn around and sell it for a little here and there... but you need somewhere to put that money that you can't easily spend it
Google it but I've seen people buy stuff for cheap at Walmart and turn around and sell it online for a profit
dude, I would get a cardboard sign and rat myself up and sit by the highway (if such panhandling is legal.. look into that... usually all the cops will do is ask you to move along especially if you're in a spot that isn't the safest spot to hang out in, usually the excuse they have to give) before I would beg off my social media platform... do a good job and no one will recognize you, you're more likely to keep your dignity intact that way ffs
social media begging just seems like the laziest form of begging ever... at least with the cardboard sign you're putting in the effort to be bored and stuck outside like a lot of jobs, if you're going to beg at least go old school classy
just be careful some of the best spange-ing (street slang for "spare change-ing") spots are "claimed" by people you might not want to mess with
another way to do it is to dress nice and hang out by a payphone and just keep asking for quarters to make a call home, I know people who have been homeless before that have made $5 an hour doing it, people are more willing to help you out this way than other varieties of street begging
standards aren't as high at your local strip club as you might think, the fact it's your first night can make you a looooot of money, don't worry if you got the clothes or the moves, you might want a wig though to hide your identity
in one night you can make $500 and be at least halfway to many of those medical licenses
