How to make money while you're between jobs
Nothing beats the ability to work from home. You get to work on your own terms, set your own hours, and design the perfect workspace to accommodate your personal workflow. If you're between jobs right now, this is a fantastic opportunity to get your remote career up and running. But where do you start? There are so many avenues you could take when it comes to earning money online.
Start a business
Try Freelancing
Where to Find Work Opportunities
Finding work online isn't as difficult as most people think. Once you know what you want to do, get out there and start hunting down potential customers or clients! If you want to try freelancing, online freelancing job boards are a great place to start. Looking for a remote employment role? The Tech Republic recommends checking out Work-from-Home Companies, like Amazon, Slack, and Zillow. Gig-based apps are especially approachable for people who are new to working online, so give one of these a go if you're looking for something flexible and low commitment.
Don't neglect the details
Try not to get so caught up in all the excitement of earning money online that you forget to do your due diligence. If you're starting a freelance business, remember to write up a contract for your clients. Your contract will serve as a safety net just in case something goes wrong. CreativeLive recommends including several thorough details in your contract, including your scope of work, payment rates, project timeline, and a termination clause.
Another important housekeeping item to consider is taxes. Freelancers and business owners have to track and pay their own taxes, so make sure you keep solid records of your income and expenses. If your taxes become too complicated to do yourself, you may want to hire an accountant.
If you were one of the millions of Americans who lost a job to the coronavirus pandemic, this is a great time to pursue your true passion and look for work online. You could start a small business, sell your services as a freelancer, join the local gig economy - whatever you like! As long as you take the time to do it properly, your remote career is bound to be a success!
