Did you lose your job because of COVID19?

The world is a scary place right now and if you're like me, and most of the world right now, you are stuck at home due to the COVID-19 outbreak. All your local restaurants, gyms, movie theatres, local shopping malls, and 90% of the stores around you might be closed right now, but that doesnt mean youll need to live off your savings during the current quarantine.

There are plenty of ways you can earn some money online from home and supplement your income during these uncertain times, that is, if you're motivated enough.

Today I wanted to show you a few different ways you can earn some money at home while still practicing safe social distancing.

1. Sell old items around your house.

Chances are you have a box stuffed full of DVDs that you don't want anymore or an old iPhone you no longer use. Selling your old electronics doesn't just offer you a way to make money from home, it also helps you free up space and de-clutter your house.

2. Drive for Uber (or any other ride sharing and delivery apps)

If your area isn’t on a full lock down order, you can earn money by signing up for a ride sharing app like Uber or Lyft. Hospital staff, restaurant workers and public safety officers still need rides to work, even during a quarantine.

During a pandemic, it’s especially important to keep your vehicle sanitized when offering rides. Use these tips to keep yourself and your passengers safe while you drive.

To help local restaurants survive this they are also allowing home no contact home deliveries keeping your community fed and money in your pocket.

3. Freelance

It’s never been easier to pick up extra work outside of your standard 9-to-5 in the on-demand gig economy. Gig websites like Upwork, Freelancer and Guru are always buzzing with simple tasks you can complete from home to earn extra money.

Some in-demand skills clients are often looking for include:

1. Tutoring: Schools across the country have closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and parents will pay to keep their children’s skills sharp with virtual tutoring. All you need to get started is a webcam and a passion for a particular subject! Some companies require you to have an education degree — check the requirements before you get excited about this idea.
2. Copy-writing: Have a flair for the written word? Many marketing companies and websites are now turning to freelancers to create content on their behalf.
3. Video editing: If you have experience editing sound or video, you may be able to find work piecing together video footage for everyone from YouTubers to marketing agencies.
4. Coding: As more and more employees work from home, more companies than ever need freelance coders to create websites and redesign existing pages.
5. Social media management: If you have experience growing a company or professional’s platform over a specific social media channel, you can earn money managing and regularly posting to a brand account.

If you're like me and love spending your free time writing, why not try writing a book and selling it on Amazon? Or even signing up to write on Vocal to earn money per reads on your stories and articles.

In saying this, there are many other ways you can make money online if you just creative. You can take surveys on websites such as Swagbucks, which I personally have used for years and love it. It is a good way to kill boredom, but it does take a long time to accumulate points to actually earn good money.

You could live stream games, or anything really or create a youtube channel. The world is yours to do with it whatever you please so the main thing to remember is to just have fun.
