Happy Cinco de Mayo! Welcome to week 48999 of Quarantine

Welcome to week 48999 of Quarantine, and level 5 of Jumanji. Raise your hand if you have lost your job. Raise your hand if you either haven’t received your stimulus or you’ve already spent it on bills and other necessities. Raise your hand if you are waiting for payment from unemployment. Keep your hand up if you have been applying for jobs but haven’t landed one yet.

The truth of the matter is, several of you have your hands up; including me.

I was laid off prior to Corona- on February 5th. For these last few months I have been grinding hard on my small businesses to generate income.

A quick shout out to all my customers. You have helped me to pay some bills, eat, and just survive overall. I truly appreciate you. Cheers to you!

If you don’t have a small business/side hustle just yet- here are some very feasible means of getting some extra coins during Quarantine.

Sell some shit! - Since you are at home you have time to clean, and once you clean and declutter you will find slightly used things you no longer need or want.

You can sell items on Offer Up, Let Go, Ebay, Poshmark. If you sell it on any of these platforms follow my homie Jason at www.mymoneychronicles.com he provides step by step guidance to maximize your selling and offers other ways to make side money.

Get paid for online surveys- I like Swag Bucks and Survey Junkie.

Find a remote part time job- there are plenty of customer service and other remote roles available. Here are a few employers that are hiring.

· Amazon

· American Express

· Apple

· BCD Travel

· Concentrix

· UHaul

· Transcom

Just remember you are not alone.

Keep your head up. Keep trying to reach your local DOL office. Call, email, Tweet! Do what you have to do to get someone on the phone. Use your social media to post things you want to sell! Let your friends know that you are looking for work!
