I was recently asked by a friend to give her some online gigs for extra income. She has recently being laid off since her company could not sustain their current workforce with the coronavirus wrecking havoc on the usual economic wheel. Finding a job takes time and in the meantime, she has to eat! Unemployment money only goes so far and that process takes some time to approve as well.
This situation of suddenly finding oneself without a job is not unique to her. In the past, I have been in a similar boat, though not due to the coronavirus, and hence I figure I can put together a list of online gigs that I have examined or partook in.
In general, here are a few links to help you get started:
