I am looking for a source of additional income. Need a job (freelance) with a low threshold of entry.
I am already considering the profession of a tester, a copywriter.
But in order to master testing, on average, you need at least a month + internship + trial period. This is a total of 1.5 - 2 months. So this option is out for now. I consider this (testing) not as freelance, but as a full-time job in the company. It offers training, internships and further work. It's just that 2 months is a long time for me considering my plans.
1) What other options are there? Please write ALL possible options, both with the prospect of further growth, and without it.
2) And where is the best place to look for such a job?

Focus on experience and interest. You will grow up quickly and clients will throw tasks

To become a Hindu one must live in India and be able to survive on $100 a month. In Russia, this is not possible.

I have bad news for you, it takes much more time to master testing (at a level sufficient to make money freelancing).
Low-skilled testers are not needed in freelancing. They can be easily found in the office, in India, in China, or simply by connecting to a decoy testing service.
That was bad news number 1.
Bad news number 2 is that professions with low barriers to entry have a crowded market and pay pennies.
As Mr. Puma already correctly noted, you will not be able to compete with the Indians.

On various forums, you can find work for 2-3 hours. If you take several orders every day, then it is possible to have a decent profit.

A set of texts - the minimum entry threshold and typing speed will hone. No development, eyes will quickly get tired.
If you are interested in testing, then dig towards Selenium. You can use it to write bots to order (you can find many such clients). The work is not difficult and the skill in writing tests will improve.

Well, for example:
Filling online stores.
Maintaining social media groups.

I agree with Anton - choose what you like, then success will come.
As a matter of fact: from well (relatively) paid jobs with a low (relatively) threshold of entry, I can recommend dealing with several popular cms. Keywords: Opencart, Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal , Openserver, cms, etc...
To develop a full-fledged (relatively :) ) website, you do not need any special knowledge of programming languages. It is desirable to get a minimum knowledge of HTML (I recommend the resource http://htmlbook.ru).
Where to look for work: anywhere, from freelance exchanges to newspaper ads. Go over your acquaintances - maybe someone needs an inexpensive site?
IMHO, without knowledge and experience, you can’t think of anything better.
And in general - to study, study and study again!

The lower the entry threshold, the less the dough and the more competition, which, in turn, makes even less income.
Look for jobs at the peak of your skill.

Not worth it. In the low entry threshold of performers like dirt.
This is not an exaggeration.
