Hi there,

Alongside my full-time job as an Account Executive, I am currently generating side income on Clarity by utilizing my years of experience as an AE to help individuals with sales advice, or job search consultations.

As you can see, the path of least resistance to generate side income, especially on a site like Clarity, is to play to your current strengths and provide your current expertise for a given rate. Do you have experience in front-end web development? Do you have real estate experience? Are you an awesome cook? Do you have a way with tutoring? Do you know how to structure a great workout regimen? Have you passed any difficult exams before? If you have a skill that you can market, you can definitely generate side income with enough grit and hustle.

Without understanding your core competencies and strengths, it is incredibly difficult to come up with ideas to generate side income.

I would be happy to book a call with you to explain how I received my first call on Clarity within 3 weeks of establishing my profile and in parallel, help you outline a framework to get started.

Best,
Kevin

The power of the internet has plenty of opportunities to provide even in this critical time of coronavirus. I am going to list some of these that I've researched and tried out myself under.

1. Freelance sites:
I know loads of successful marketers who have inflexible prejudice in opposition to such websites. They have got an opinion that sites like Upwork, Fiverr, freelancer, flex jobs, writer hub, and Truelancer, and so forth. Do no longer pay freelancers their worth. This is actual. You earn manner less starting out. But you'll steadily expand credibility. As you figure, you'll start to have tremendous quantities of money. You can do almost any kind of work you are precise at or like doing. These websites are something to search for while beginning out. Some different web sites that do pay but are lesser recognized are:
1] clickworker and 2] writer

2. Personal internet site:
This takes a touch little bit of investment while getting personalized web hosting and domain, however, in case you are constantly sufficient, you can't best earn at the website a passive income however quickly you'll be capable of making a full-time income from it.
You can write blogs, provide diverse kinds of offerings, and rate as in step with your requirements and the market charge of the route. However, you need the right marketing strategies and understanding of parameters including search engine optimization, sem, social media advertising, and the significance of keywords.
There are guides accessible which could teach you this and free of charge! My advice might be to head for the publications on ‘google virtual unlocked’.

3. Affiliate marketing:
This will be my top recommendation. It is a remarkable supply of passive earnings. There are numerous groups you can sign in with as a way to join their affiliate applications. A number of companies which might be quite top are:
1] amazon friends
2] Clickbank
3] MaxBounty
4] Google Adsense
However, you do want deep information about affiliate advertising, positioning, posturing, sales funnels, and so on.
But do not worry, there are platforms in which this schooling can be achieved. So do your studies earlier than you sign in with any of these. And take into account to promote the handiest merchandise that you stand behind.

4. Surveys:
There are lots of opportunities on the net in which you can locate web sites so that it will pay you to absorb surveys.
The system of getting involved with surveys is extraordinarily easy and will earn you a few greater greenbacks.
5. Typing jobs:
Do you kind very rapidly? You have got located golden possibilities waiting for you.
This might sound bizarre but yes there are groups accessible that need you to do obligations like facts entry and google research and might use your typing abilities.
Some typing jobs pay as much as $one hundred an afternoon relying upon the quantity of work that you installed.
So long as you are regular, you'll discover something or the alternative waiting for you that is going to help you make some more money each month.

The world is really confused and frightened by the pandemic that seems endless. Covid-19 infections are on the rise across the world, even in countries that once thought they had contained the virus. It is certain that we are now headed into a major global depression-a period of economic misery that few living people have experienced. There is no V-shaped economic recovery. Economists are worried that the tepid recovery in the job markets in the developed world could run out of steam this fall should coronavirus cases surge again just as government stimulus money runs out. The world’s top developed economies are all officially in recession. Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States -the G7-have all reported that their economies shrank dramatically in the first half of 2020 due to pandemic. Therefore, income shortages are common. Paying house rents and other essential bills have become quite a challenge.
In India too, many people are suffering from the same challenges. India is among the worst hit countries in the world and with a huge population of more than 130 billion and it is a daunting task to earn a living. As an HR, it was painful for me to see so many people being laid off. Nearly 1.9 billion Indians had lost their jobs in India since April, according to data released by private think-tank Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE).
I have advised several of them about side incomes in this new Covid-19 world. These are as follows:
1. Social Media Moderators: If you have basic social media skills and good people skills, this is an easy gig and usually comes with flexible hours. Available wherever you are in the world.

a. The Social Element
b. Crisp Thinking

2. Focus Groups: Focus groups are different from surveys in that they are much more in-depth, often require in-person or at least phone/webcam participation and as a result, also pay much better. Here is a list of some reputable market research companies with active focus groups:
a. FocusGroup.com
b. 20/20 Research
c. Respondent.io

3. Microtasking: Microtask platforms connect companies who need small tasks completed so-called” Short Task”-with remote freelance workers who can perform them whenever they have some free time.
