Side Hustle: Making Money During a Quarantine

Why not make some extra cash while you’re stuck at home? This is a great way, to keep yourself occupied, and take your thoughts and creativity to a whole new level.

Here are a couple ideas to get you started, so you can start making money:

  1. Sell your unused items on apps like Letgo, Facebook Marketplace and Ebay. You could also create things to sell on here such as some woodwork, a hand-made bag, paintings, etc.
  2. Walk dogs for cash using Wag. You can earn anywhere between 9$-$20 for a 20-30 min walk! This is great for those who need some extra cash in their bank account, or those who prefer to deal with animals rather than humans.

These are just a few, but the opportunities are endless!!
