Unfortunately, the coronavirus still seems to have a long way to go. It is true that the advance of vaccines offers a glimmer of hope for the longer-term future. However, there are still difficult times ahead. All the signs are that there are still difficult economic times ahead. At least until mid-2021.

During this time, many people have lost their temporary jobs and even some permanent contracts. On the other hand, we must remain calm.

Some are fortunate enough to continue to work from home, but others cannot count on this opportunity.

However, there are some options to generate extra income by telecommuting. The internet offers a variety of business opportunities that can be done without leaving home.

You can earn money in many ways and there are many jobs that, nowadays, need more staff than ever.

Couriers and delivery drivers

Delivery work is one of the jobs that requires and will need the most staff during and after the pandemic passes. Confinement has meant that a large segment of the population that was still reluctant to use the Internet for shopping has learned and has already become accustomed to the convenience.

In addition, home food delivery has created jobs. It is a job in which practically anyone with a driver’s license can work, since the requirements that are usually asked are not very complicated to achieve.

Online classes

If you have a computer and internet connection then it is the time to give online classes. Students can pay you by PayPal or bank transfer. These days many people are taking up a second language. All you have to do is register on one of the platforms that serve as a link between students and teachers, such as Duolingo or Busuu.
