MAKING MONEY DURING CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
The Covid-19 pandemic has caused many companies to close their doors and send employees home, individuals affected by the restrictions put in place to combat the Coronavirus outbreak are finding new and creative ways to virtually make money these days, for example, fitness instructors are streaming their classes online for donations, beauticians are offering video consultations and writers are selling personalized pieces of work.

So if you lost your job due to Coronavirus or just want to make extra money while you are in quarantine and social distancing at home, here are ways to start new opportunities.
One of the easiest ways to make money from home is by taking online surveys, of course, spending a few minutes a day on surveys won't make you rich but every little bit helps especially in a crisis, so many brands, research groups and even political organizations are looking for help on the latest trends and what people think, in exchange for your opinion you will get paid for the time you put into answering a few questions. Most surveys take anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes and you will get paid a few dollars for your time. However, there are sometimes surveys that can pay 50$, 100$ or more, these usually require a little more involvement such as being part of an online focus group or testing out a new product and give feedback or opinions about a subject and many other ways, so instead of twiddling your thumbs or staying glued to the TV watching events unfold, take a few minutes out of your day to improve your finances with online surveys.
In large scale Coronavirus shutdown both locally and nationally, for schools, offices and restaurants, two places will continue to remain open pharmacies and grocery stores, the closures are putting tremendous stress on the supply chain, causing food, toiletries, cleaning supplies and medicine to be in demand.

- Will this gig interfere with my day job?
- How flexible is your schedule?
- Will you need additional training?
- Where do you want to work?
- What are you looking for in this job?

John, a blogger described how part time job helped him fund his holiday shopping and avoid debt "I worked a part time job during nights and weekends for six weeks during the holidays and was able to earn over $2 k during that time, yes i worked a lot of hours but the short time sacrifice was well worth it to avoid going into debt"
