ACADEMIC/RESEARCH PEOPLE: I need advice and resources around how to make a living / career as an independent researcher without a PhD. What are models or ways you've heard of folks having an actual income but not being established with a PhD?

I have been struggling to complete my PhD (a pandemic and transition right in the middle didn't help), and need to explore career options. Any perspective is wanted!
