At a time so dramatically characterised by uncertainty and unpredictability, especially from an employment point of view, finding legal and safe methods of earning extra money is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for each of us, giving us the chance to put up with the unpredictable blows of fate, such as losing one's job or having to move to another city, for reasons of force majeure, more lightly, starting from the beginning and building a completely different life.
The possibilities for extra income are within everyone's reach, but to fully grasp all the opportunities linked to money-making methods, in a way, also requires a sort of mental leap, a cognitive leap that allows people to mentally embrace all the limitless possibilities available to them to increase their income, overcoming with a single leap all the prejudices and mental superstructures that prevented you from seeing reality for what it is.
One of the first obstacles to overcome, from this point of view, is the natural association between work and money. Who said that in order to legally earn money, one must necessarily go in search of a traditional job, with precise and superior hours to be respected?
We are no longer in the 1970s, the world has changed radically. Thanks to the Internet, digitalisation and social media, everyone can become their own entrepreneur and start an online business, patiently building their brand within one of the many virtual spaces provided by the Net.
Different modes
The ways to earn extra money are virtually endless. Not all of them necessarily include an activity to be started online, or through the countless virtual spaces of social media and the net. If you need to earn small amounts of money immediately, for example, you could start by making an inventory of all the items you have at home, especially those forgotten in the attic, the basement or the last of the cupboards, and then try to determine which ones you could sell.
If you don't want to sell them on Ebay, you could always take them to one of the many city shops that sell second-hand material, and then pay the original owner a part of the proceeds from the sale (almost always half).
This form of earning, however, is extremely temporary, and is limited in time. When you have sold all the items you no longer need, you are back to square one. The most valuable opportunities to earn extra money nowadays can be found online, and are within everyone's reach.
Each of us can open a YouTube channel, an Instagram account or even a blog, starting to professionally cover a topic on which you are knowledgeable and then selling courses, hand-written manuals, and also trying to monetise the views you get from your content. In addition to these spaces, the opening of a LinkedIn channel, regardless of the nature of your profession, will also be of fundamental utility.
This will help you get in touch with other professionals in your sector and especially with new stakeholders, or people interested in your services. Some of the best business opportunities can be found in the meanderings of social media such as LinkedIn, where every professional has the opportunity to join certain communities and demonstrate their authority in a specific field.
When you then start selling your courses or manuals to a certain number of people, earnings will pour into your pockets without you even realising it.
The role of fun
Thanks to digitisation, earning money while having fun has never been easier. The activities one engages in on social media are not only potentially lucrative, but also fundamentally fun, giving everyone the chance to relax and have fun while earning money from their content.
The possible sources of online entertainment nowadays are virtually endless. An industry such as online gambling has, in the space of a few years, been able to transfer much of its business online, giving rise to exclusive portals offering entertainment experiences for all tastes, and in large quantities.
These sites are in fact able to offer a wide choice of online entertainment experiences, allowing each user to find the most suitable portal in which to place their online sports bets, in total safety. The fact that each site is carefully selected by extremely competent professionals, all experts in the field of online entertainment, will make any bet an even more enjoyable and entertaining experience.
Everyone can come up with a way to earn extra money, even without work. The important thing is to open your eyes and start having fun.
