REINVENT YOURSELF: FINDING NEW WAYS TO MAKE MONEY
Techlife News|Techlife News #478 *Special Edition
Though millions of professionals are relying on technology to adapt to working from home, others do not have that luxury, with their jobs on the line due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
REINVENT YOURSELF: FINDING NEW WAYS TO MAKE MONEY

With no end in sight, making the best of your circumstances and utilizing your talents during quarantine could help you to unlock a revenue stream and turn a side hustle into a career.

CHANGING EVERY PART OF OUR LIVES

As the coronavirus spreads to all four corners of the globe, businesses and individuals are beginning to feel the pinch. The airline industry has, quite literally, fallen from the sky, bars and restaurants have been forced to close in many countries, and actors, barbers, beauty therapists, and personal trainers are just some of the entrepreneurs who are suffering the most. Entering these new uncertain times isn’t easy for anyone, but if your income derives from meeting other people or working in the city, you’d be putting yourself at unnecessary risk to leave the house and continue your operations - and the chances are, you’d have no customers anyway. With an increasing number of citizens finding themselves at home with no work, a record 10 million have applied for unemployment benefits in the United States, and it is a similar picture in other markets like the United Kingdom, where governments are stepping in to allow businesses to furlough employees to reduce the number of potential job losses.
