Getting an alternative source of income is becoming pertinent as more and more people are getting plunged into unemployment due to the pandemic. Even if you are currently employed and would want to earn extra cash or you do not have an active job, there is always a way for you to generate income from the comfort of your home. Read through on ways you can earn extra cash in this period:

Sell old items and collectables on listing platforms

A cool way to earn extra cash is by putting up used gadgets or collectables that are in good condition and you no longer have use for, up for sale on listing platforms like Jiji or OLX. It is easy to get buyers for these items because there are people searching for these cool deals daily. You can always create a secure escrow transaction with Vesicash to ensure  payment for your items every time and avoid being scammed as conducting business on listing platforms can be risky.

Develop and sell software

If you happen to have experience working as a software developer, now is as good a time as any to build software products that can solve the newfound problems people are currently experiencing and also earn you extra income in the process. It could be something as simple as a language teaching software for beginners or a music software. You can either develop independently or offer your services to entrepreneurs who have innovative ideas but don’t have the technical nous to build their vision.

Since you will be collaborating remotely with your client,  Vesicash Escrow service will ensure that when it comes to payment for your services, you will get paid as long as you deliver within the agreed time.

 Engage in freelancing

Freelancing is another good way to generate extra income and there are a myriad of ways that you can engage in freelance – writing and editing jobs are common but there are others like translation, online tutoring, virtual assistant services, graphics design and animations or online teaching service. 

As an up-and-coming freelancer, a strong web presence showcasing a portfolio of your previous work will go a long way to increase your reach and potential client base as a freelancer:

As always, Vesicash Escrow comes in handy for payment of your services as a freelancer – our Milestone payment feature gives you the option of receiving payment for each accomplished task or milestone, so you don’t have to wait until the end of the project before receiving payment.

Create and sell on ecommerce sites or Instagram

The good thing about ecommerce sites is that there will always be a need for people to buy things online. To be the one who provides the solution, you have to think about goods that can be easily produced by you and ordered online – these can be hand-made sanitizers or face masks if you are a fashion designer. You can also bake and cook for people who will need your services.

Once you have decided on the type of goods that you want to sell, you can then proceed to creating an ecommerce site – you can do this on your own or hire a professional to help out.

If you do not have the expertise or resources to handle an ecommerce site, there is the option of creating an Instagram account to sell your products since it is easy to use and maintain.

For payment, you have no worries at all as our WordPress plugin can be integrated into your Woocommerce website in just a few clicks. For Instagram, you can market Trizact to them because it is a unique payment link that can be shared with your customers to make payments – this gives the buyer the confidence that their payment is safe and also provides you with the assurance that you’re dealing with serious customers since they have already pre-authorized the payment by paying into escrow.

Conclusion

Earning extra income can be life changing, especially with the uncertainty hanging in the future of paid employment. If you pay attention and devote your time to trying out the options above, you might be on your way to becoming your own boss. 

You do not have to worry about the payment part because Vesicash is always here to ensure that you handle your transactions with total confidence.
