Would you be able to take an additional work if required?

What is the situation in your country and for yourself? Would you be able to land additional work for example working with crypto, selling stuff on-line, youtubing or something else?

It may vary for everyone based on their country and the kind of economy they live in. As for myself, I lost my job during the pandemic spread. It was more of a resign than being kicked from my job though. I was asked to do the same work I was doing earlier at insanely half the salary I used to get earlier. It was quite impossible for me because once you get a set salary you get habitual of spending it in a particular manner.

Thankfully I found another job and gladly enough, they provide me enough time such that I can do some creative things. I now work as a marketing manager for a few small brands locally which also generates decent revenue and all I need to do is guide the guys in the extra time.

As long as that opportunity comes and it's all good to my working ethics and schedule, I would be glad to accept it. But there are those opportunities that have to be declined because it will make you feel that you're out of place and won't make you happy.
If that's the case, if you think that it will make you unhappy better not grab that opportunity and just let someone take it.

In my country, Venezuela, people do anything to survive as the informal economy: They sell food, confectionery, vegetables, fruits, eggs, chicken and meats, everything looks like a mobile market due to the economic crisis we are experiencing and of course the Covid19.

Also people are starting their own business like selling clothes, shoes, handbags, a variety of things. As well as the confectionery, barbershop and hairdresser.
In relation to the tourism sector, it is a source of income that has also been devastated by Covid19 as has happened in other countries.

Tourism is heading towards national parks such as Morrocoy, Los Roques Archipelago, Mochima, Canaima, which are the four great parks visited by tourists.

For my part, I do remote work doing social media marketing for a crypto platform.

i'm lucky to have a fairly stable business and also generate quite a bit of crypto.  Even here the conditions are quite difficult, everyone is struggling to live and trying to find a decent job, but those who are old have difficulty getting a job because many companies prefer fresh graduates.  i think this condition has taught me a lot that investment is very important.

Investments & Savings, I would add.

I have gone through some of the worst times of my life in the last 2 years where I have seen families broken, young people suiciding and even some kids begging on roads for food. It was heart-wrenching and impossible to express in words. It has although made me very strong internally because I feel like I have seen the worst things in life and nothing can really go worst from here.

One must save money whenever and however they can. If you feel you have a safe job and good savings, think about it and save more. Save some more and again do the same. Bad times will take away all those savings like nothing and you won't even realize.

In this world, of course, we can get many opportunities in whatever situation is going on, as long as we are willing to try and keep moving.

The cryptocurrency, is an opportunity that is already feasible and its popularity is increasing, why not? Of course people who are more advanced will come here and some take this as an additional job.

Even though in my country it is not completely legal, but it still allows selling it to local currency, well.. there are still many things that can be done of course with the internet today, and there are many opportunities in cryptocurrencies such as being able to invest, trade, mine, work in campaigns, etc., this can still be done and of course it is still a driver of the financial/income side, even if only at home.

[fullhdpixel]

yes of course i took it.

We can see the current state of the world is uncertain, the economy is falling due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

But for now I do some additional work, such as; Become a freelance writer, photo and video editor and manage social media accounts.

And there should be no shame in doing it and admitting it. I have a few friends who actually do some small jobs and earn money but for some reason they feel so bad about it that they hide it from everyone else apart from the close ones.

I feel no work is small enough to feel ashamed about or bad enough to discard as long as you are comfortable enough to do it.

During the crisis, one thing I seriously learned is that one shall never rely on a single source of income. No matter how much you earn from that source, keep a keen eye on alternatives.

That's my only condition too, long as it doesn't interfere with my free time and I make money that's worth my time spending on that extra work, I would gladly accept, I mean who doesn't want to get paid more, it's actually good that we're going to make more money since this is a capitalist world we live in.

A few of my friends are struggling to get a job. They are in their mid-lives and the country they live in is particularly difficult to find a job at a certain age. Also, when some recovery was being noticed after the 2008 - 2012 crisis, COVID struck hard on an economy with a strong tourism sector. Meanwhile, I made some choices that landed me an stable and reasonably paid job that also leaves enough time to do other stuff that generates income or reduces my costs if I wish to do so.

What is the situation in your country and for yourself? Would you be able to land additional work for example working with crypto, selling stuff on-line, youtubing or something else?

Anyone that has a job should try and get more  things at hand not just depending on a single job, maybe a salary job that could die off if another wave of covid-19 comes into play based on the recent complains we have being seeing and hearing on television on how covid-19 cases is increasing without a go measure to handle the spread.

Covid-19 had really showed us on how to double our quest to do more job hunting or investing in different field to reduce the risk of becoming broke if any pandemic eventually happens again or any factors that can affect our rate of survive during penury resurgence.

[Silberman]

We have to face the real situation that this pandemic makes people become hungry to find a good job that is why some professionals just drop their pride and take any vacant job just for the sake to have income. If we can find an extra job that was a great opportunity for you, many are still hopeless to get one and you have a chance already if that only I can carry it over and perform the task well, I should not hesitate to take it.
We need to be practical this time and we don't need to be chossy otherwise, we live nothing or to live on the sidewalk asking something.

What happens is that the economic recovery is going to be very slow, we are still facing the pandemic as there is a third or even a fourth wave in many countries around the world and people are not spending money as they did before as they do not have as much and they are saving it in the case they need it, this is slowing down the economy even more and people do anything in order to bring money to feed their families, it is sad reality but this is happening all over the world as we speak.

The situation is difficult in all countries and even my country due to the Corona epidemic, which destroyed the economy and made people retire at home without work, but fortunately I am with you here working in this forum as a promoter and I have my YouTube channel and my blog, Working online takes time, and we all have enough time to get started. My advice is to start working on what you are good at.

[pinggoki]

I believe this is the case with the constant risk of diminishing manpower plus the lack of solid observation of employees. Especially in the customer service sector, where most of my friends work at, it has been stated that most of them take in chores and tasks that would otherwise require an administrator or a higher-up to initiate just so they can cut off the middleman to save some time and serve more customers in the process. They still have a boss but they pretty much do the same stuff for I would assume a lower pay rate. And that alone is the reason why I believe I wouldn't enjoy it.

cryptocurrency is but a portion of what can really be done in this pandemic setting, although I would say most of the alternatives is starting to get a little saturated as well. Then again this could very well be the reason why more people are much more accepting of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general during this pandemic setting.

[philipma1957]

I do crypto work .
I do it work.

I can find more work than I can handle.

I will be building some mining rigs and selling them this week.

pick up some $$ doing  it.

I will always take additional work If I'm given an opportunity to work a side hustle.
One of the most on-demand work from home in my country is online tutor. Where you will teach children from countries that doesn't prioritize English lessons in public schools.
I have tried applying a couple of times with 2 different companies, but failed to pass their series of test and interviews. What makes it hard is the number of applicants that makes it a tight competition of who's going to get the job.

Not many people are confident with the use of YT vlogging.
I admire those people who can accept all kinds of bashing, comments or any posts from the viewers.
This venture is not for me, you are right, better cultivate the skills and talents where you are good at.
And not follow the others just for the sake you thought they are earning good money.
Because if it is not for you, you will only fail. So better look for opportunities that suit your skills.

[Kiley33]

If necessary, I will definitely do extra work.
If I can, I don't want to do extra work.
I want to spend more time with my family and children. I prefer to travel and make friends.
Cryptocurrency is now a side business of mine. I have now become a habit of investing in cryptocurrencies. I rarely take one thing as a habit. I am willing to consider cryptocurrency as my habit.

[Xinarae*]

It is impossible to do extra work if you want to but I think if you do more work than you need, it puts a lot of pressure on the brain and the mood becomes irritable. You have to do a certain amount of work and there should be entertainment in between the work this will make the work much easier to work in crypto you have to learn to control your mind. Under pressure business will be at risk that's why you have to learn to work in the midst of entertainment.

In my country until now the government still encourages everyone to work from home, so even though the situation is difficult with the pandemic, but for now I personally can still work to earn an income with online based jobs, one of which is trading in the crypto market and besides my crypto too managing an online store business.

You can do extra work, there are some people are doing 2 8-hour jobs just so they can make more money to make it easy for their responsibility to live and to have a good future and have enough money to do just fine. Also, it's not like all extra work takes a lot of time, some of the extra works that I know only has 2 hours and a decent pay so it's not all that bad.

[ultrloa]

For the current situation of the world? I wouldn't mind to take multiple jobs right now as my current workplace is having skeletal work force due to Covid-19 and while I cannot rely my job to earn decent amount well I will take what opportunity will come to me as long as that one is not illegal. I'm sure other has the same mindset to since its really hard to get a good pay cuts now so we can expect that many people are now doing multiple jobs just to provide food to their family.

Here in our country, the situation is very challenging given the pandemic situation we are in. We still haven't bounced back. In fact, we are still stuck inside our homes. I can't recall how many times our government have imposed lockdowns to "contain the virus", yet they always fail because the number of cases reported and recorded each day don't lie. The covid-19 cases here in our country continues to go higher despite the lockdowns and vaccinations. It's very unfortunate for us that we are being led by bunch of incompetent officials.

Right now, I have cryptocurrency as another source of income.  I am fortunate enough to have enough funds to invest in nft games that have become a trend last year and this year. It serves as another stream of income for me to buy the things I need and the things I want. This also serves as my entertainment during this awful situation we are in. If I want to, I can still find additional work, but I have so much on my plate right now that I have to focus on, so I might not entertain the idea of finding another one. I can say I am privileged enough and I am very thankful for it that's why I'm making the most of it despite having dull days.
