Happy Thursday!

Wishing everyone tons of health and success during this time.

The entertainment industry has been strongly impacted by COVID-19 with nearly all studios and networks going dark for the time being.

Actors are out of work across the globe making it difficult for many to sustain comfortably in an already expensive market.

With the recent events, now is the time to keep your hustle strong. Your mind and resilience are your single most effective tools in overcoming struggle. You have the power of creating income right in your hands.

Below are a few ideas to help spark your creativity and embrace your independence from home:

1. Start an online blog or website with Google Adsense revenue.
Like many websites online, my website is powered with ads though Google Adsense. In exchange for free knowledge, Google sends me a check each month after calculating my clicks and viewership each month. Are you an expert in a particular field? Share it with the world and get paid by signing up through Google Adsense today.

2. Embark on a journey of voice-overs.
Voiceovers are still being rolled out despite most commercial and television productions being on halt. Turn the TV off, sit in your living room, and record various sound clips if you have an attractive voice. Scripts can be found online, or through a reputable talent agency such as DDO , KMR, or DPN.

3. Bring your expertise to videos.
Share a strong opinion on the current landscape of our world? Have a thought on breaking news, or how our entertainment industry is currently handling COVID-19? Hit the record button and share your thoughts. Spread viral awareness which can lead to sponsorship, or even national attention. Consistent content generates results.

4. Freelance websites if you’re looking for the extra cash.
Websites, such as fiverr or upwork, offer services for you to do quickly for money. Maybe someone needs a resume drafted, or a script translated and edited? Charge by the hour and watch the dollars rack up.

5. Create pay-per-view viewership. Become the movie theaters.
Have an interesting short film idea that involves your roommates, or family? If it’s intriguing enough, you may be able to rent it for 2.99 online. Content sites such as Vimeo offer rental services for you to turn your concept into dollars. Distribute independently, or share it online for the mass. Again, consistent content generates revenue.

6. Speak and write in multiple languages? Utilize your services for translation.
Many businesses (especially small) are seeking writers to translate press releases for them in handling COVID-19. Online listings on sites such as up-work can help you find these opportunities.

These are limited ideas but if you truly sit down and analyze all of your skillsets, you can easily turn it into money. Need help or guidance? Drop in the comments below and I will answer.
