Sometimes all you need is a little extra padding in your bank account, and fast, to help you make it in these uncertain times. Due to high rates of unemployment and furlough, many of us are in a position of supplementing our incomes in unexpected ways. These quick-paying entry level gigs can help you pull in a little extra cash to help make bills, pay for groceries, and provide for your family’s needs.

Whether you’re looking for something where you can work from home on your computer, or a gig where you can be (safely) working outside your home, there are options available for you. Take a look at some of the opportunities I’ve collected and see if they sound like they’d fit well with your needs and lifestyle.

Be sure to do your research when you look through these. Not every gig will be right for you, your expertise or your goals, so practice due diligence!
