Right now, we\u2019re living in unprecedented times, where some of us are even losing our jobs<\/a>.<\/p>\n Whether you just want to secure your financial future or have recently been laid off because of the coronavirus pandemic, there are things you can do both from home and out of the house that will make you money.<\/p>\n In this post, I\u2019ll cover more than 100 places to find work during the coronavirus lockdown.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s where to find work during the shelter in place:<\/p>\n If you want to limit your exposure to the outside world, then you may want to consider working online.<\/p>\n There are lots of jobs you can do from home during the coronavirus lockdown.<\/p>\n Here are some to consider.<\/p>\n Anyone can get started with freelance writing since most positions don\u2019t require a degree.<\/p>\n All you need is a few samples that show you can write.<\/p>\n Websites and clients hire writers to create everything from blog posts to books.<\/p>\n The best part is many writing gigs are freelance-based. So you can take on as much or as little work as you want to and work when it suits your schedule as well.<\/p>\n Pay can be per word, per hour, or per project.<\/p>\n Pay per word can range from $0.001 per word, to $0.06 or more per word.<\/p>\n Hourly pay for freelance writers<\/a> can vary from $10 to $55 an hour but is $23 an hour on average.<\/p>\n Pay per project can vary a lot. You could earn $5 for an article or $500 for an article. It depends on the type of work you do and the client or website you work with.<\/p>\n Here are a few places where you can find work:<\/strong><\/p>\n You could make money as a proofreader if you\u2019re good at finding typos, grammatical mistakes, and spelling errors.<\/p>\n Proofreaders are paid to read things like articles, books, blog posts, and product descriptions to check for and correct any errors that they find.<\/p>\n Proofreaders earn $20 an hour on average. But pay can range from $12 to $50 an hour.<\/p>\n Here are a few places to find proofreading work:<\/strong><\/p>\n You could work as a translator if you know more than one language. Translators translate documents from one language to another.<\/p>\n Translators can make $20 an hour on average. Pay can range though from $12 to $40 an hour.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s where you can find work as a translator: <\/strong><\/p>\n Online tutoring has been popular in recent years anyway. But with the lockdown, it\u2019s likely that more parents are turning to it while their children are home from school.<\/p>\n To be a tutor you generally need some qualifications, like a degree or teaching experience. But this isn\u2019t always the case. Just check with the particular platform you plan to tutor with for more details.<\/p>\n The average reported pay for tutors is $19 an hour. Pay can range from $15 to $20 an hour though.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s where you can find work as an online tutor:<\/strong><\/p>\n Social media managers manage social media profiles for companies and individuals.<\/p>\n As a social media manager, you could be responsible for everything from responding to comments to posting on social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter.<\/p>\n Average pay is $15 an hour. You could earn from $10 to $27 an hour though.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s where you can find work as a social media manager: <\/strong><\/p>\n Again with the lockdown measures in place, it\u2019s likely that more and more people will turn to online learning.<\/p>\n Teaching English as a second language (ESL) online has been common anyway, but there\u2019s the potential for demand to go up.<\/p>\n You could make $20 an hour teaching English to students online. That\u2019s the average hourly pay. Pay can range though from $12 to $39 an hour.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s where you can find work as an ESL teacher: <\/strong><\/p>\n Assistant work can also be done online. Virtual assistants do all the tasks a regular assistant in a traditional a brick-and-mortar setting would do \u2013 the only difference is they work online!<\/p>\n Pay can range from $10 to $29 an hour. The average pay is $15 an hour.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s where you can find virtual assistant work: <\/strong><\/p>\n Transcriptions listen to audio and type, or \u201ctranscribe\u201d what they hear.<\/p>\n Working as a transcriptionist can be a good way to make money if you are a proficient typist.<\/p>\n You could earn $16 an hour. Many places pay you per audio hour.<\/p>\n Here are some places to find work as a transcriptionist: <\/strong><\/p>\n Search engine evaluators are paid to improve search engines like Google and Bing.<\/p>\n This could be the work at home gig for you during the COVID-19 lockdown.<\/p>\n Basically you make sure that the correct results are generated by a search engine\u2019s algorithm for a particular keyword.<\/p>\n You could earn from $13 to $16 an hour.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s where you can find work as a search engine evaluator: <\/strong><\/p>\n Data entry clerks get paid to enter data into data management systems, like documents and spreadsheets.<\/p>\n Average pay for data entry clerks is $13 an hour. But pay can range from $9 to $17 an hour.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s where you can find work: <\/strong><\/p>\n Anyone can make money from home by taking surveys. Sure, it\u2019s not going to make you a full-time income like translating or freelance writing can. However, it\u2019s an easy way to put some extra cash in your bank account \u2013 and we could all do with more of that!<\/p>\n What\u2019s great about surveys is that they require no special skills. And if you use legit sites, you never have to pay to join survey sites either!<\/p>\n You could earn from $1 to $25 or more per survey!<\/p>\n And these can easily be done while you\u2019re watching TV!<\/p>\n I\u2019d recommend joining multiple survey sites because this increases the amount of surveys you qualify for and therefore gives you more opportunities to make money.<\/p>\n Here are a few places to find paid surveys: <\/strong><\/p>\n Rewards websites give you points (or money from the outset) for doing simple tasks, like:<\/p>\n You can exchange your points for money to your PayPal account, a check, or money through direct bank transfer. Or you can get the cash on a Visa or MasterCard.<\/p>\n You can also exchange your points for gift cards to retailers, like:<\/p>\n Sure, rewards websites won\u2019t make you a full-time income. But they do give you an easy way to make money from home. Plus the tasks are pretty fun and can easily be done while you\u2019re watching TV.<\/p>\n Join a few rewards sites and complete tasks on all of them to boost your income.<\/p>\n You could make anywhere from $30 to more than $125 a month from reward websites.<\/p>\n Here are some rewards sites you should join: <\/strong><\/p>\n In this section, I\u2019ll cover companies who hire people to deliver things, as well as companies who\u2019ve announced they\u2019re taking on extra workers in response to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n Since many of us are now confined to our homes, more and more of us are opting to get food delivered to us.<\/p>\n It\u2019s safer, especially for the vulnerable, elderly and at-risk groups.<\/p>\n This means that there\u2019s more demand than ever for food delivery people.<\/p>\n Whether it\u2019s groceries or meals from a fast food chain, there are plenty of food delivery gigs available.<\/p>\n You just pick up food and deliver it to the customer. You can pick up delivery gigs when you want to, making this a flexible job. Not all places require you to have a car either. Some companies will allow you to make deliveries using other vehicles, like a bike, scooter, van, or motorcycle.<\/p>\n Delivering food could earn you from $10 to $25 an hour.<\/p>\n Here are some companies that\u2019ll pay you to deliver groceries and food from local restaurants, cafes and stores: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n
