@DustinB3403 is a professional. Also an asshole.
Some feel that I am the same as I'll tell you to fucking shut up and stop being fucking stupid if I think you are doing that.

Upwork isn't a terrible idea for him. He doesn't need a website out of the gate, even. Although it definitely wouldn't hurt.
I'd really work on making some really nice looking proposals more than I'd work on the website. Build yourself some nice watermarked templates like you'd see an MSP do in person. Obviously you want spend the same amount of time making these proposals, but even plugging into decent templates will give you an advantage. Not many freelancers are willing to go thy far. In reality, if you have templates pre made, it isn't much more effort than writing up a text proposal.

Have you considered starting your own business of some sort, fresh? $500 isn't a lot, but it's a good start on doing something of your own.

$500 is not enough to legally start a business in most US states. Canada is typically seen as even more expensive.

I agree with @Reid-Cooper -- You could do it for $500, but it ain't a lot at all. That will get you to the "Be a Business" level, but you'd have to operate out of your house and such.

But anything he was considering is also from a home, right?

You could technically start a business fairly cheaply in Canada. If you operate under your own name and only do a limited amount of gross, you don't even need to register anything in some provinces. However, I believe Manitoba isn't quite as lax. Also, if you're physically performing service in an area, typically you need to get municipal permits in each area.
And most likely, doing work as a contractor through Upwork would technically mean you are operating some kind of business.

If you don't don't want to limit liability, you can start up for free in the US. But I'd not advise it.
Texas to start up is around $650. I think maybe Nevada is cheaper?

I put about $3000/year through my business and I still have to collect provincial sales tax

Revenue has nothing to do with limiting you personal liability by using a proper LLC (US term) or such.

Right, just sharing

$500 extra?
Lower my taxes now:
- 401K are you matching the match?
- HSA max it out
- Max out pre-tax 401k contributions.
Lower my taxes later
4. Max Roth IRA, or do a backdoor conversion if you've hit the cutoff. It's prior to april so you can still have the $500 count towards 2018
5. In plan Megabackdoor Roth (if your 401K plan supports this).Otherwise buy SPY etc.

Invest in TSX symbol WEED when it drops next and wait... ?
Up a little over $21k myself this year with very little invested initially.WEED: 30 million USD in Revenue. Zero profit, market cap of 21.55B.
I'd have to ask "are you high?"
While Weed will be a big market I don't see it honestly being that hugely profitable for growers in the long run. Retail stores can stock whatever they want, competitors can use delivery to get around your capital investment in stores, strains are not being patented, growing technology does't have enough IP to differentiate, and given the shelf life to oils/waxes/concentrates over lose leaf, I don't see how even having a "fresh" supply chain that's consistent is even that much of an advantage. It's a product that anyone can produce their own supply reasonably easy (This isn't like making industrial amounts of beer/scotch that require lots of storage space, or huge amounts of capital).
Their primary expansion is on the retail side, and they are trading up because retail prices went up (7 to $8a gram). Their valuation is tied to expansion opportunities, and I just don't think they will be able to establish a dominate heavy weight position in EMEA or the US. Their medical business is down on shipments quite a bit.
They are a growth company but nothing excites me about their balance sheet other than having lots of cash to do stupid things with (and drag down the stock price).

@StorageNinja : I don't care about the company, I care about the stock. Having bought a bunch at $12 , I've seen highs as much as $72 with an average of about $62 making for a decently performing stock. This value drops to 40-50 every month-or-so so it's an easy way to make some cash. One can likely make $10+ per share within a few week period. It won't make you rich but it's not a bad payout for no work.
Most researchers forecast a cap somewhere around $100 this year. Currently, growers cannot keep up with the demand here in Canada and many shops are suffering so there's definitely a "need" for their product.
