Those Side Hustles
Can you make money while looking for a job? Most of us who are unemployed are looking for ways to earn some extra money to pay bills. I thought it would be an idea to at least suggest to people who are in the IT field where they can go to possibly earn money while you’re either looking for new a job or pivot to do something else. Either way is up to you but this is something that can be quite useful even if you need extra money for one reason or another. This is something that can make your even more money or find you a new job that you have been looking for.
Blogging / Vlogging — Both of these do the same exact thing. You either write or start creating videos on YouTube and other video platforms to bring in entertainment, Educational, or provide a unique view to something that most others may not see. I am not saying this will bring in a lot of money but if you have been doing this for a while, you could simply ramp up and help you bring in some revenue. You’ll have to decide what you are good at and explore those possibilities.
Taking Surveys — There are several different surveys sites out that will either give you amazon cards, or other ways to pay you. I’ve been using Survey Junkie for the past few months and it is nice because you can take survey’s whenever you have a chance and get paid for them. However you will not get a lot from them but if you do enough survey’s you could bring in some extra revenue that way. No more than maybe 100$ if you really just do as many survey’s as possible each month.
Find Freelancer Jobs — If you are good at computers then you should check out upwork and look into finding some freelance jobs that will pay you to do, either temporary or a rolling bases. Each job can bring in some money per month and keep you from drowning in debt. However you should consider how you approach the perspective jobs and make sure you show them that you have what they are looking for. Depending on the jobs it could be just a few hours or a monthly type of part time jobs.
Ask friends and Family — Another way to make some money on the side while you are either working or looking for a job is tell your friends and family what you might be able to do for them and let them know you are available. This won’t bring in much but depending on your skill set and what you are willing to do, it might help bring in that income you are probably needing for bills.
The Unusual Circumstances
As you can see I’ve talked about why the unemployment rate is no correct. I’ve talked to several different friends on Facebook an some other places and we all agreed we are probably already in a recession and you should consider ways to bring in money while we weather the storm, as I would say. I couldn’t fully attest to this idea but I hope to keep myself a float and bring in money to keep from having to worry about where I will live in the future. I am sure the stress that people are experiencing is quite real among us around the world. There are some good ways for your to make even more money, so I will link to Dave Ramsey’s website on other ways you could make money in case you are really interested in this type of side hustle or other ways to make money while you are unemployed.
