15 WAYS TO MAKE MONEY DURING QUARANTINE
During the period The quarantine (caused by the outbreak of COVID-19) concerns many people with the question: how to pay bills if there is no way to go to work? We want to share with you a list of ideas for different ways to work part time during quarantine. Choose the best option for you and do not be afraid. What is there to sin? We are all nervous now. Interviewing friends, I came to the conclusion that the panic about the virus is not as great as the fear of being left without money. You can sit out the epidemic even at home - since the Internet allows you to earn extra money remotely. So, what can you do to not sit with a hole in your pocket?
Ideas of Temporary Part-time Jobs on Quarantine
1. Writing articles, copy-writing, rewriting
Well, since I myself am the author of the magazine, I will start with a method that has long turned from a temporary job into a permanent job for me. The vacancy database is teeming with all kinds of offers of remote work as article authors. My advice: choose those options where they guarantee payment immediately upon completion of work.
2. Editing and proofreading of texts
If you are an expert in your native language, do not confuse “th” and “th”, put on, rather than put on a hat, you can also earn extra money on text editing. You can also hire as a proofreader in foreign companies, checking their translated texts on a paid basis.
3. Writing reviews and reviews
Do you adore books, movies or TV shows? Then combine business with pleasure and find vacancies with payment offers for writing reviews. Of course, no one can read many books quickly and watch tons of films. Do not despair, our sections of the magazine will help you in writing reviews.
4. Translations into foreign or native languages
Do you speak English well? Then you can earn extra money, for example, by translating films and series. From experience, I’ll say that it’s easiest to work with official studios that have copyright: a) no one will make a complaint to you, b) the airtime charge there is higher than in amateur studios, c) you will be given the prescribed scripts, so you don’t have to to understand foreign speech by ear. Also, a good way to earn extra money will be translations in studios that create online games. Work there is easier than in the field of cinema, and the pay is often even higher.
5. Tutoring Many tutors have long switched to remote work
communicating with students through video conferencing. This is very convenient: no one needs to spend time and money on the road. In the context of quarantine, the benefits of distance learning are even higher, because everyone can stay at home without contacting outsiders.
6. Voice Acting, Dubbing
Another option for those who are eager to work in the field of cinema or advertising. Of course, here you need to have a high-quality microphone and headphones. You can muffle sounds from neighbors' apartments by carpeting the walls of the room.
7. Design, Programming
Programmers are a dime a dozen and their work is quite suitable for remote earnings. If you have good equipment at home, then you can safely sit in quarantine, making good money.
8. Monetization of YouTube videos
Do you know how to do something that others do not? Then record a training video. You can upload funny videos with cats - the trend of the network. Another option is to read aloud books. Many modern book lovers prefer to listen to their favorite works before bedtime or during household chores. Kill two birds with one stone in one fell swoop: you’ll read the book yourself and earn money on the video by recording.
By the way, I noticed that audio books with children's works have a pretty impressive number of views. You can earn money, while delighting young parents and their babies by writing books for children to read before going to bed. It doesn’t matter if you already have such an audiobook on YouTube. Show creativity, read in different voices, add accompanying sounds, as they do in radio performances.
9. The game on the currency exchange Personally,
I have a tight relationship with mathematics and economics, but if you are ingenious financiers and are good at navigating in the current situation, then you can earn extra money too. Just do not invest all the savings.
10. Online casinos I personally
know many people for whom poker, for example, has become a regular income. It is important to understand how strong you are in this area. Do not play at high stakes tables. Put small amounts and do not play for too long. Let there be a medium-sized but reliable income.
11. Advertising on social networks.
Until recently, many people left social networks, but in recent days, traffic to various Internet platforms has increased. Do you have a group with a large number of subscribers? Then offer advertisers the option with a paid advertising post. If there is no group, then you can quickly create it by inviting more friends and acquaintances. You do not need bots, but live, active people. You can quickly gain subscribers if the group is dedicated to some actual trend. For example, you can create groups for fans of new TV shows in the spring of 2020.
Ways to make money as a last resort
I brought in four ideas here that I personally don’t really like. However, life circumstances can develop in such a way that a person is simply forced to choose such methods. Please do not resort to quarantine without urgent need. And if you decide on them, then follow all the prescribed sanitary standards. But we will start with a side job of a remote nature.
1. Phone sex
Oh, I don’t have to roll my eyes here. We are all adults. If life circumstances do not require any earnings from you, then gloriously. And for some, the option may be suitable. However, I urge you to check with the constitutional code of your country and make sure that this income is not illegal in your region. The plus of the idea is that it allows you to remain in quarantine without contacting outsiders in real life.
If the law is not opposed, moral values do not torment, and finances are desperately needed, then why not? In the end, this is not German porn, no one will even see the face, and now, for sure, such an industry will survive a new peak of popularity. However, it is important to limit yourself from unwanted calls: do not use a personal phone number, purchase a separate SIM card, turn it off at the end of work. And again: follow the laws of your country!
2. Taxi
Taxi transportation has become more relevant due to aggravated problems with public transport. It is just fine if your car has a transparent partition that separates the driver from the rear passenger seats. It is popular in taxis abroad, but in the CIS, unfortunately, it is rarely seen. This situation is likely to change radically. The partition not only minimizes the spread of infection by car, but also protects the driver from contact with inadequate passengers.
3. Selling things online Honestly
I don’t like this one for obvious reasons: there is contact with completely strangers who will come to pick up your sold items. In addition, there is a rather low chance that many will now want to go somewhere and pick up other people's things. However, there are all kinds of situations in life. Perhaps money is needed right away. However, in this case, remember about self-defense. Apologize to the buyer, but do not invite him to the house. Pass the thing on the doorstep by wearing a mask and gloves. Then use an antiseptic.
4. Delivery of orders
Another item that I add only as a last resort, if there is absolutely, absolutely no money and you have to leave the house during quarantine. You can offer your services to people, delivering food or other essentials for payment. Again, remember about hygiene: wear a mask and gloves, use an antiseptic, do not touch people.
