Don't be down and out in Corona economy:
Easy steps to not only save but earn money as well.
You can earn and save money even in uncertain times if you put your mind to it. I am going to list ten ways you can start earning extra income today.
I was one of those kids who used to walk door to door when it snowed, asking if people wanted their walkways and driveway shoveled. When I was 18, I was walking door to door with fliers, seeing if people wanted their gutters or windows cleaned, or even their dog walked.
Fast forward 19 years and I still own a successful service business that has employed over 500 people. I understand the nature of starting from nothing, with just a handful of fliers from my printer and nothing else.
No matter what your skills are you can earn, right away. Here are ten ideas that will hopefully help you!
1) Advertise your services online (craigslist.org), as a tutor, a trainer, or a mentor. You probably do not even realize you are an expert at something. There are people who would love to learn what you know and will pay for it. Also post up some fliers around high foot traffic areas where you live, advertising your services.
2) Become a driver for Lyft, Uber, or a food delivery service. You can make cheap business cards on vistaprint.com and advertise your own driver/chauffeur services around town as well.
3) Assemble products for a company. Make some business cards, get a professional email and make a professional voicemail for your cell phone. Go to Walmart, Target, Ikea, Furniture stores, etc., and try to get in front of a manager. Tell them you would like to offer your services to assemble furniture, bikes, display cases, etc. Do some google research to get ideas on how to charge for your services.
4) Start a YouTube Vlog. Make it on something interesting and just be yourself. Are you funny? Do you have a cool hobby? Do you do fun stuff outdoors? People would love to join your adventures. You can start filming with your phone or buy a cheap digital camcorder, or camera that records digital video for $50-$100 on eBay or craigslist. If you get a lot of followers, you can make a lot of money! It might take time to gain followers, but don't give up!
5) Become a micro influencer on social media. Do what your strength is, whether it is being funny, a skill you know, expertise in something. Google how to do this! There is tons of information on the internet how to start doing this. This can coincide with the YouTube Vlogging!
6) Work as an apprentice (get paid hourly) and learn a skilled trade. Maybe you will eventually become an expert and you can freelance that work, or even do it full time.
7) Paint your own art and sell it on eBay, or other art selling websites. Get an artbook from the library and learn how to become an artist. Take courses for cheap at a community college. Find an expert artist and offer to clean their workshop, or help them out in some way, in exchange for art lessons. Maybe they will train you to become an expert.
8) Offer your house painting services. You can watch some YouTube videos and learn how to paint a wall. Practice on a wall in your apartment or home. Start slow and offer touch up work. Put out flier’s door to door and advertise on craigslist.org.
9) Sell unused items around your home. I am sure you have at least 20 items that you don’t use and are collecting dust. Clothes, shoes, watches, books, video games, toys, electronics, jewelry, junk in your closet, tools, collectables, sporting equipment you do not use. Most of the stuff we have we use a few times and that is it!
10) Sell your car and get a bicycle instead. You get money from the sale, do not have to pay for gas, insurance, maintenance, or car payments. You will also become healthier and in shape from biking. Put that monthly savings into a Mutual Fund on TDameritrade.com. Search online (from various sources) for good performing Mutual Funds before you do of course!
