If you’re like me, you’re currently stuck at home. As the Coronavirus seems to be a mystery that is both destroying our short term economy and shows no signs of slowing, it’s important to make the most of your time inside. Especially with the impact this is having on our labor force. Not everyone is lucky enough to be able to work from home. Those that are can certainly use some extra income to help supplement their family or help support those that have been negatively impacted by this crisis. That’s why I decided to put together a list of the ways I’ve made money right from the safety of my home. All that’s required is an internet connection, some smarts, and a bit of tenacity. Think you’ve got what it takes? 1) Online Trading I know, I know. The economy is in the toilet, the markets are falling apart. While that may be true for now, this also represents a tremendous opportunity to get ahead of the market recovery. Ever notice that savvy traders and the wealthy find ways to profit off of recessions? Why not join them? The problem, of course, is having money to trade with. That’s why I use Try2BFunded. Without risking my own bank account, Try2BFunded lets me use their capital to trade with. I spent about 6 weeks learning the ropes and working to get past their qualifying round. After that, I had access to $100,000 and started taking home 60% of the profits. How far ahead do you think you could get with $100,000 to work with? 2) Data Entry Even as the economy slows, companies need data entry. It’s the backbone of many major corps, including Google. Where you work will depend on how quickly you can type with accuracy, what hours you can commit, but I found this to be a great resource. There are a few cons when it comes to online data entry. Namely, data entry requires an absolutely massive amount of patience. Not to mention focus. If you have strong mental fortitude, endurance and the ability to lay down an impressive amount of data without making too many mistakes, this could be your calling. 3) Online Selling Are you a serious hobbyist? Do you know more than one could imagine possible about a niche subject? Have you spent hours researching, collecting, considering model trains, old books, rare records, or something else? Then you’re way out ahead of everyone else trying to sell online. This takes a bit more finagling than the other options, but I’ve seen people have amazing success by buying goods online and selling them to people that might value them more. Think of it like vintage shopping—your dad’s Miller High Life t-shirt from 1988 might not hold much value to him, but to a Brooklynite it’s as good as gold. The trick is finding an angle. An industry you can research thoroughly and take risks on. My best friend’s son made thousands by buying and selling Magic: The Gathering cards. Who’d have thought? I have a knack for finding rare books and reselling them. The quarantine might mean you have an abundance of free time. Here’s how to make that profitable.
