Please be ULTRA vigilant

  • If you have a TEFL/TESOL certificate (and they're legendarily easy to come by and earn on short notice), becoming an online English (as a Second/Foreign Language) teacher is a pretty common one that gets mentioned here, as well as a transferrable skill. Heads up that as a lot of the companies are based in China they may not exactly have the same labor standards or professional ethics you're used to, but it's a reliable and honest source of income.
  • Look into becoming an e-Notary in your state, province, or country. There's usually a startup cost as you have to file through a bonding company that requires a fee (typically < 100 USD), but U.S. states and provinces in other countries are increasingly creating policies that allow notaries to perform their services online rather than in-person at a physical location.
  • If you have any marketable creative skills or hobbies (e.g. graphic design, web design, art, music production) that you're competent at and that you can do as a contractor or on commission, now is the time to take advantage of that to your benefit.
