Introduction
WE
live in frightening times with this recent coronavirus pandemic affecting every person on this planet, and its even worse if youre one of the millions of people who cant afford to miss a paycheck. If you have some money saved up, that may not last as long as the crisis. The exact economic impact of the pandemic hasnt been evaluated fully yet, but estimates have ranged anywhere from 6% to 20% unemployment.
The uncertainty is a big part of the problem, as the stock market has been fluctuating wildly while the world struggles to respond to the pandemic. While experts believe the markets might rebound after the crisis passes, it may be too late for many investors, along with the workers employed by companies reliant on those investors. The coronavirus may be creating the deepest and fastest economic crisis since before World War II. There is bad news everywhere you turn, but remember that the worst thing you can do is panic. Therefore, what exactly should you do to save yourself from economic ruin?
It may be time to rearrange our thinking about how and where we work. Some bright spots might emerge as a result of this crisis. This book will present quick and effective solutions to the problem of finding work while practicing social distancing.
You can make money quickly while isolated at home, and the following suggestions can ultimately be long-term. Even after restrictions are lifted, it will take a long time for life to return to normal.
Post-coronavirus life may be very different from what were used to today. Those changes represent an enormous opportunity for online businesses and freelance work, which is what this book is about. This book will present information about a variety of online businesses and freelancing opportunities.
Here are a few things we know about the current crisis and online work:
- Online work is one of the fastest growing business opportunities during the current crisis.
- It is likely to remain in very high demand, even after the crisis passes and the economy returns to normal.
- The post-coronavirus world will probably become quite different, since many companies will have likely transformed themselves; they will be far more willing to work with freelancers and startup online businesses.
This presents the best opportunity for those who are willing to engage in a new way of doing business.
If you want to be a winner and not a victim in this crisis, continue reading, as this book will change your life. It will help you explore a new way to work that will allow you more flexibility in your schedule and lifestyle. Its the perfect solution for the current crisis that can give you a competitive advantage, even after the crisis has passed. More than 4.7 million peopleapproximately 3.4% of the populationare currently working remotely, and that successful trend has been steadily growing within the last few years (Upwork, 2019) . This crisis has presented a major opportunity to jump into the remote workforce and refocus our business aspirations.
But, can you get started? Well, that is what this book will be discussing. Ill take you through the various types of opportunities available in online work and show you how to get started. We will be looking at freelance work and entrepreneurial or small business opportunities and discussing the types of work available in these various fields, required qualifications and experience, preferred jobs, trends in online entrepreneurship, and how you can build your brand online. While previous crises have meant the end of many businesses, the current one does present an opportunity for YOU to create a flexible business model and become a leader in the online business world. But why am I the one who can help you do this? Let me tell you a little about myself and my own online transformation.
Prior to going online, I was working for several larger companies. My manager was challenging me to treat my department as if it were my own company. Specifically, he wanted me to save on expenses, bring innovations, improve processes, and, generally, have an entrepreneurial mindset. I agreed with him but found it difficult to make any real changes. Maybe I was too deep in the corporate mindsetthat is, I was too worried about securing my workplace and defending against risks. In any case, it wasnt working out, so I made the leap to create my own business and go remote.
Therefore, I can say that I fully understand your situation; however, you have two advantages that I did not haveone is the current crisis pushing people to stay at home and giving them time to think carefully about important things. The second advantage you have is me, and Ive done what Im about to describe to you. I know what it takes to make the change successfully, and I will take you through the process, highlight what you need to consider, and show you how to get your new lifestyle up and running.
You may think you are too shy and not assertive enough to go through the challenges this will require. I was thinking the same about myself, and it took me over a year to find my way. Another challenge I faced was that I thought I was not creative enough. I wondered what I would do, what value would I give my customers, how could I find them, and how could I make enough earnings to survive? The perspective I needed came from a friend of mine. That friend made me realize that it doesnt matter what your nature isit only matters whether youre willing to take the risk. Its just a matter of time until you start seeing results.
