How to Make Money Online During the Lockdown

If you want to limit your exposure to the outside world, then you may want to consider working online.

There are lots of jobs you can do from home during the coronavirus lockdown.

Here are some to consider.

Freelance writing:

Anyone can get started with freelance writing since most positions don’t require a degree.

All you need is a few samples that show you can write.

Websites and clients hire writers to create everything from blog posts to books.

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.

Pay can be per word, per hour, or per project.

Pay per word can range from $0.001 per word, to $0.06 or more per word.

Hourly pay for freelance writers can vary from $10 to $55 an hour but is $23 an hour on average.

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.

Here are a few places where you can find work:

Proofreading

You could make money as a proofreader if you’re good at finding typos, grammatical mistakes, and spelling errors.

Proofreaders are paid to read things like articles, books, blog posts, and product descriptions to check for and correct any errors that they find.

Proofreaders earn $20 an hour on average. But pay can range from $12 to $50 an hour.

Here are a few places to find proofreading work:

Translator

You could work as a translator if you know more than one language. Translators translate documents from one language to another.

Translators can make $20 an hour on average. Pay can range though from $12 to $40 an hour.

Online tutoring

Online tutoring has been popular in recent years anyway. But with the lockdown, it’s likely that more parents are turning to it while their children are home from school.

To be a tutor you generally need some qualifications, like a degree or teaching experience. But this isn’t always the case. Just check with the particular platform you plan to tutor with for more details.

The average reported pay for tutors is $19 an hour. Pay can range from $15 to $20 an hour though.

Again with the lockdown measures in place, it’s likely that more and more people will turn to online learning.

Teaching English as a second language (ESL) online has been common anyway, but there’s the potential for demand to go up.

You could make $20 an hour teaching English to students online. That’s the average hourly pay. Pay can range though from $12 to $39 an hour.

Here’s where you can find work as an ESL teacher:

Assistant work can also be done online. Virtual assistants do all the tasks a regular assistant in a traditional brick-and-mortar setting would do – the only difference is they work online!

Pay can range from $10 to $29 an hour. The average pay is $15 an hour.

Here’s where you can find virtual assistant work:

Working as a transcriptionist can be a good way to make money if you are a proficient typist.

You could earn $16 an hour. Many places pay you per audio hour.

Here are some places to find work as a transcriptionist:

Search engine evaluator

Search engine evaluators are paid to improve search engines like Google and Bing.

This could be the work at home gig for you during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Basically you make sure that the correct results are generated by a search engine’s algorithm for a particular keyword.

Data entry clerks get paid to enter data into data management systems, like documents and spreadsheets.

Average pay for data entry clerks is $13 an hour. But pay can range from $9 to $17 an hour.

Take surveys

Anyone can make money from home by taking surveys. Sure, it’s not going to make you a full-time income like translating or freelance writing can. However, it’s an easy way to put some extra cash in your bank account – and we could all do with more of that!

What’s 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!

You could earn from $1 to $25 or more per survey!

And these can easily be done while you’re watching TV!

I’d recommend joining multiple survey sites because this increases the amount of surveys you qualify for and therefore gives you more opportunities to make money.

Here are a few places to find paid surveys:

Sign up for rewards websites

Rewards websites give you points (or money from the outset) for doing simple tasks, like:

Taking quizzes.
Searching the internet
Shopping online
Watching videos
Playing games
Completing offers

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.

You can also exchange your points for gift cards to retailers, like:

Amazon
Walmart
Starbucks
Steam
Target

Sure, rewards websites won’t 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’re watching TV.

Join a few rewards sites and complete tasks on all of them to boost your income.

You could make anywhere from $30 to more than $125 a month from reward websites.

Here are some rewards sites you should join:

Ways to Make Money Offline During the Pandemic

In this section, I’ll cover companies who hire people to deliver things, as well as companies who’ve announced they’re taking on extra workers in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Deliver food

Since many of us are now confined to our homes, more and more of us are opting to get food delivered to us.

It’s safer, especially for the vulnerable, elderly and at-risk groups.

This means that there’s more demand than ever for food delivery people.

Whether it’s groceries or meals from a fast food chain, there are plenty of food delivery gigs available.

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.

Delivering food could earn you from $10 to $25 an hour.

Here are some companies that’ll pay you to deliver groceries and food from local restaurants, cafes and stores:

Deliver packages

You could make money delivering packages. Again, since the lockdown people are getting more stuff delivered. So this can be a good industry to get into.

You can earn anywhere from $8 to $71 an hour delivering packages.

Here’s where you can find work:

Companies Hiring During the COVID-19 Lockdown

COVID-19 has caused many things, among them panic buying and droves of online orders.

In response to the coronavirus, many companies are adding thousands or even hundreds of thousands to their workforce.
