SURVIVING & THRIVING AFTER CORONA:

20 Ways To Manifest An Extra $500 Or More Per Month

How can we survive and thrive after the worst of this global pandemic is over?

There’s a lot of fear and talk about economic recession and it can be very easy to get swept up into negative thinking and panic instead of finding the positive aspects of this worldwide crisis.

Now, more than ever people

are craving community and

trying to make the most out

of this new unpredictable and

changing reality. Instead of

being scared and concerned

for the future, let’s choose

to adapt and go with the

flow. Now is a great time to

get some creative ideas for

thriving in the uncertain times

that lie ahead.

The following is a list of ideas

to kick start your imagination

and help you to go beyond

your “normal” thinking to

discover new ideas for making

money or creating a fun side-

hustle when the world returns

to what may well be a new

version of reality.

Swap fear for fun and get your imaginative juices

flowing as you dream up savvy new ways of making

money by realizing the value of what you have to offer

and turning that into a viable income stream.

With every crisis, comes change. And with that change,

there are always opportunities to thrive when we can

quickly adapt to it.

There are countless new companies that always emerge

as household names from economic downturns.

Companies like GE, HP, Disney, and Microsoft were all

start-ups during a great recession.

You too can take this “opportunity mindset” and apply

it on a smaller scale to set yourself up for success.

Here are 20 simple ideas designed to earn you $500 or more per month to get you started:

BECOME A PART-TIME MOVER

BUILDING HOME GARDENS

Got the muscle and stamina to move furniture?

Or know somebody who does? A lot of moving

companies allow you to join them for a small fee,

you can then list your services, rates and hours

available and get hired for jobs temporarily. Browse

this list of moving jobs to get a better idea of how

things work.

Do you have a natural talent for growing things?

Creative ideas for creating vegetable gardens in

people’s homes? There’s likely to be an emphasis

business sharing your expertise and

helping others to start small scale

gardening?

BUILDING WEBSITES

FARMER’S MARKET

Many offline businesses do not have good

websites. If you know how to create an attractive,

user-friendly website, why not offer your services

and create a lucrative sideline helping businesses

get back on their feet after the pandemic. It’s also

a relatively easy skill you can learn in a short period

of time.

Local farmer’s markets provide opportunities to

sell your products on a small-scale. This is perfect

for those just starting with growing as a hobby, or

perhaps you are known for your legendary pies,

fudge, cookies, cakes, honey or jams? Farmer’s

Markets also sell homemade soaps, creams,

candles, beeswax and craft items like needlework,

aprons, hand-made doll clothes, baby clothes,

jewelry boxes, hand-carved spoons, etc. Find out

where your nearest market is and what’s required to

set up a booth. You might also consider partnering

with a vendor who’s already active by letting them

sell your product in exchange for a commission.

DOG-WALKING

DELIVERY SERVICES

If you live in a neighborhood

with lots of dogs, print off a few

flyers on your computer and slip them

into mailboxes. Pitch your price and sell

yourself as a great dog-walker, wait to build

up a steady stream of clients and grow your

service.

Get involved with your community and offer

grocery delivery services to those who are either

unable to shop or the elderly and unwell. You can

build up a good, reliable reputation over time and

increase your customers.
