If it's earned income, then it is going to have to be treated as self-employment income for the most part.
Can you tell us a little bit more about why you feel it shouldn't be self-employment income, yet it also shouldn't be unearned? Generally, if not treated as self-employment income, it has to be "unearned". It can't really be both earned income and excluded from self-employment tax, usually. If it's earned income, then it's subject to SE tax with limited exceptions.
