3 Ways to Earn Extra Cash During the Coronavirus Pandemic

Globally, we're in lockdown. Across the world, there are a number of countries in lockdown as healthcare professionals fight to Covid-19 outbreak. Flights are largely grounded. Events are not happening. Bars, restaurants, and other businesses have been forced to close. Normal people are being laid off from work or finding themselves unable to make the money they were making.

But entrepreneurial citizens are looking for ways to make the money up. And here are 3 ways you might just be able to do it.

Fast Food Delivery

Demand for food delivery services is up. In the UK and parts of the USA, for example, restaurants have had to close but they can continue to operate takeaway and delivery services. That's the cue for a surge in sign-ups to Deliveroo and Uber Eats food delivery services. Providing you meet the age requirement, have the right sort of vehicle, and appropriate food delivery insurance, you can sign up to deliver fast food through these providers quickly and easily.

Teach Online

What skills have you got that people want? Now might be the time to create that course and start selling online (easily done through a platform like Teachable or Coursera). Those who are unable to work during the pandemic are, in many cases, looking to upskill. And if you can teach something you may well just be able to make a little money out of it.

Get a Part-Time Gig

If you've been laid off as the result of Covid-19, don't panic. While many businesses have been negatively impacted by the pandemic, others have been experiencing a sales boom and have been looking for staff quickly.

Supermarkets and other food outlets are looking for staff. Couriers and delivery services need drivers. There are lots of boom businesses that are hiring and they're hiring fast.

Good Luck

It's a scary time out there. But don't let money be another added worry. There are options out there for you. Good luck.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
