It's been more than one year since the pandemic started and as of now we still not having any idea when will this pandemic end. A lot of people lost thier jobs because the company or employer are near on bankruptcy and the only way to survive is to close the company temporarily. Some employees were blessed because from being an employee working to office they became work from home but some were not lucky enough to have a job.
Pandemic causes a lot of changes to us. Many people find ways to earn money for survival. My husband is one of the employees who lost the job and had no choice but to went back here in province. He was jobless for almost eight months and good thing we have our savings that time but we not depend on that only. My husband find a different job even if it's not regular while me also searching jobs online and one of them is here and this platform really help us last year. My virtual friends knew our struggles last year and it's also the reason why I didn't hodl my earnings here as we need to use it for our daily living.
When the pandemic started online selling became popular in all places since people find it as a safe way to buy goods. Until now online selling is still in as I always a lot of my friends selling something online and I understand them why they do that. We all want to survive this pandemic and we will do all the things that we can to have money in a legal way.
There's also a few ways in earnings money online aside from online selling that became the source of income and sideline of our fellowmen. I myself witnessed it as I saw on my timeline and even personally.
Blogging
Celebrities and entertainers were the common people who did this thing because they also lost thier job during pandemic but I saw a few people who lost thier job and switch into blogging. I also saw some people here in our place who entered the world of blogging to the hope that thier channel will be monetized. As we all know famous YouTuber gaining a lot of money because of blogging like Jamill. Sadly just recently I read that they deleted thier channel for real. They are from Nueva Ecija too and I am a fan because I lot hearing the accent of Camille. Very Nueva Ecijana.
I am also planning to create a youtube channel in the future and create a videos about my daily recipes but I don't have the courage to do that now but I am looking forward to it in the future. For now I will share my recipes in noise.cash if I have a chance.
Online Cock Fight.
This is very famous here in the Philippines to the point that they created a meme on Miss Philippines costume on last Miss Universe. There's a famous line here " Sa meron , sa wala. Talpakan na ". Because of the online cock fight many people became an agent and also a few people here in our place build a business in which they offer cash in cash out in gcash because the player of online cocktail buy the load via gcash. Though online cock fight helped agents to generate income , online cockfight has also a bad effect too because people who loves gambling find an easy way to do thier vises.
Like the article that I made about my brother who got addicted to online cock fight. And as for me I don't want to enter this kind of job as I am not comfortable seeing people lost thier money by playing.
NFT Blockchain game.
A few months ago , NFT games became on trend because of the game axie infinity. The social media made this NFT game on hype resulting that the people here in the Philippines got an interest to entered the game , taking the risk on the money they have invested in hope that they can earn two times from it. Last week axie infinity became a segment in one of the tv shows here in the Philippines resulting that this NFT games became a subject for a tax because the government knew that a lot of player from this game earned a lot of money.
My cousins and my few friends are playing axie Infinity and from the very first month they already return the money they have invested and they are gaining a good amount on it. I also want to try NFT games but I am not confident because I am not knowledgeable on how to play games and I am afraid to invest because of the DYOR.
There's also a lot of way to make money online especially the jobs that the other countries offer like in Upwork and Fiverr and you can gain a good income but ofcourse you need to invest time , effort and knowledge to be able to be successful in that field.
Sobrang dami ko talagang nadiscover this quarantine ate. And dami ring realizations ngayon. Solid din yung taon kahit papaano eh, para sa akin.
