Online resale: it’s an oldie but a goodie, there are so many platforms now, like eBay, Poshmark, Etsy, ThredUp... everyone will be at home and shopping out of boredom. Good time to sell!

There are many remote jobs that focus on SEO, but for the large search engines such as Google. The positions pay $12-15 an hour last I recall. It requires lots of learning to properly rate queries and ads, but if you have lots of extra time to fill in, you pay for what you work and it's remote.

I used to be a webmaster and was extremely good at SEO. SE alogorithms are something that are constantly changing, and you have to keep up with them. SEO is harder than it used to be, meaning it requires more time, but I'm sure I could school myself to get up to date very quickly if it were my only job.@Tarantado wrote:

Discovering the world of mystery shopping immediately BECAME my safety net when health forced me out of my job a dozen years ago. I believe that there will always be something I can do even if it is not my first choice.@Sandy Shopper wrote:
To me, this whole thing just further confirms that we all need multiple income streams in order to assure a safety net should something go haywire somewhere along the financial way. Can't mystery shop due to virus outbreak? Sell on ebay or etsy. They tanked? Sell drop ship products online. Don't like drop ship? Teach a skill on youtube. Don't like youtube? Teach an adult ed class on how to become a successful mystery shopper!

Well it was a good run. I shopped for 21 years. I’d say 95% of my shops are gone for now.
eBay is picking up. Luckily, I’m an essential employee. I’ve got full time regular work no matter what.

That's awesome!
Oil and gas has taken a huge hit, so unfortunately, sometimes, no matter how valuable and essential you can be to your work, it's not guaranteed to stay. I'm definitely nervous to things over the horizon with my main project closing out.....

It’s like a 24 hour a day garage sale with no shoplifters.
