Regardless of whether you have a full time income or relying on part-time gigs, it might be worth to invest your time in creating a online source of income.

If you like doing small tasks such as surveys, then you can also join a platform called ClixSense or YSense to earn some extra dollars on the side. I have made some money on YSense so I can safely recommend it without thinking twice.

After working full-time for more than 12 years, I switched to working for myself and trying to earn a living online.

If you are interested in the whole concept of making money online, you can check out some of my other posts including 10 Easy Ways to Earn Money Online without Investment, How to Earn Money from YouTube, how to earn money from Facebook and how to start a blog and make money.

I have also written a detailed post on How to Start an Online Business That Changes Your Life, How to Live a Simple Life And Be Happy–you can read it if you are interested.

I recently helped a client of mine generate $1000 in income from his YouTube channel that was not making any money and even you can do the same.

Earlier, I had co-founded a video company and raised $2 million in funding and then got fired from the company I started. I had done lot of testing and research on how to monetize YouTube and now I use the same skills to help other YouTubers.

What is AISH ?

Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH) is a financial assistance program that is available to residents of Alberta who are severely handicapped and hence unable to earn a substantial income and make a living for themselves.

AISH members get monthly allowances on the basis of their needs and existing assets. 

The AISH program came into place in 1979 and offers both medical and financial aid to permanently handicapped Albetans. AISH takes into account both physical and mental disabilities. 

AISH also provides additional benefits to members who have children dependent on them for survival.

A living allowance of $1,685 is provided every month to recipients who rent or own a house, according to their eligibility. 

AISH also includes health benefits like prescribed medication, visits to the hospital, ambulance services, dental and optical services and various supply kits. 

Recipients are also provided with an AISH Health Benefits card that they can use while making medical purchases and accessing medical benefits.
