Real Estate Marketing & Beyond
We are facing one of the worst economic crises that has forced people out of businesses and into hospitals. The job market seems scarce and so does income. Even if you have miraculously managed to hold on to your job, you’re probably suffering from emotional distress and monotony stemming from coping with work from home guidelines, pay cuts, and lack of income.
It is for these reasons that people are looking for other ways to invest and make money. But what if we told you that you don’t necessarily need a job to make money? What if you could make money by lazing around in your home?
No, we’re not handing out cash, but we sure can tell you who is. We have decided to take opinions of experts from different fields, consulted financial bloggers, and also some business owners such as Lisa and Brad Barros on some of the best ways to earn money during the lockdown. And here is what they had to offer:
1. Get paid for voicing your opinions
The instability and unpredictability in the world may not provide fodder to animals but it certainly can to people who like to rant. We all have that annoying friend who cannot sit peacefully without giving their opinion about everything that is happening around the world, be it recent political elections, environmental issues, the sporting world, or just some nonsensical superstar gossip. What if you could get paid for being this annoying?
There are plenty of organizations, research organizations, and even political parties that conduct surveys to gauge the mindset and behavioral pattern of the public. Such groups are looking for people like you who spend endless hours on Twitter waiting to pick a fight with someone over anything.
Here is how it works. You can get paid in exchange for answering a few questions they pose at you. It can either be in the form of a survey or question set about their product. It is one of the easiest ways to earn money with little to no effort on your part.
So the next time you get restless watching a news channel or enter into a debate over some latest technology, reach out to organizations that will pay you for your thoughts.
2. Sports Betting
Sports Betting - as shady as it sounds, it is one of the most lucrative money-making opportunities in states where it is legal. It is for all those sports enthusiasts who spend hours watching sports like football, tennis, basketball, baseball etc. What if we told you that you can convert your interest into money? Well, this is not as easy as it sounds.
The only two prerequisites are knowledge of the sport and some risk-taking abilities. There are several betting websites available where one can place a bet on any match of any sport and earn money. By doing this, you can multiply your money within no time and build your income to no extent.
Remember, the risks are high but so are the rewards. Invest carefully or else it might backfire!
3. Freelancing
Everyone has some ability, hobby, or a deep interest in something or the other. It can be anything ranging from writing, cooking, playing an instrument, or even speaking. The best part about honing a skill is there is always a way to make money out of it.
Several people have taken up-side hustles such as home deliveries, content writing, teaching, where they earn a decent income just by using their skills.
You can approach small businessmen as they are always looking for people to outsource their work. And that is where freelancers come in.
Conclusion
It does not matter if you have been recently fired or unemployed; we have carved out the best options for you to earn money even during the lockdown. Everyone has some side hustle. It is time for you to start yours. Time to mint some money!
