The way we live after covid might be different from before specially for people among to the lower class. Some company here closed their business or laid off due to the effect of the virus, losing profit for months and not able to recover. But there's always a way to survive, online selling and home based job like an english tutor for asian kids are indemand nowadays so its not a problem to those who have such skills.

Small businesses are doomed. If they're not closed, they're being broken into. Wealth is being funnelled towards monopolies in a world economy that is anything but free. (If you want to work for a monopolistic organization, have fun selling your soul.)

If there is any hope of individual entrepreneurs making an honest living in this new era, they need:

1. TO SELL THEIR GOODS AND SERVICES ONLINE

2. Easy to use Decentralized platforms that let everyone with an internet exchange goods and services for any currency (such as the Virie Market-https://www.virieproject.com/) without centralized intervention. Basically an international, decentralized Craigslist with a built-in payment system that lets you use crypto, fiat or goods and services as payment (no bank accounts necessary-still billions of unbanked)

3. Inform themselves of the needs of people in other countries. Beggars are not choosers and this is great for business. You have something valuable that people elsewhere don't have.


Any other suggestions?


 

A lot in my country are into online selling, specially food, gadgets, clothes and etc. Freelancers online (VA, Content Creator, Writers) are also booming because most of the work are already online. One way to also earn for others are delivery services like motors, bikes, and even a jeep for those jeepney drivers who can't go to work. So companies like grab, lalamove, food pands really need a lot of workers as almost all of the people are into delivery since they can't risk going out.

After the COVID people will just go back or find work according to his expertise, businesses will open up again and will attract new customers it will be back to normal for everybody after this pandemic after all this COVID is our only problem, it restricts every human being in the planet to do things.

...but only if you take your injections and implants.

I don't want to piss on your Cheerios, but things are NEVER going back.  This thing has been a long time in the planning, and it is only the opening salvo.  Most of those who make it through will be chosen based on a criteria, and in most cases that criteria will be that they are pliable.  'Low risk, easy to keep.'  From the above text I would say that you have a chance.  Maybe a 5% chance given the anticipated cull rate.  But that's about 99.9% better than for those who have the potential to wake up and smell the coffee.

Invest in cryptocurrency, of course.
For good, these preparations had to be done before the crisis. One must always be prepared for all sorts of troubles. Therefore, I transfer 10% of the salary to a gekkoin deposit. This pillow helped me quarantine

But don't invest in crypto that has adjustable miners fees (like Bitcoin). Why not? You'll never get your money out if they raise their fees, which they just might do when people want to get their money out in big bunches. Imagine paying half your Bitcoin earnings to the miners in miners' fees, just so you can get half of it for living expenses you have.

And people here in our country are actually doing this, they are selling online to those who lived in their area via facebook group or page and they offer free delivery because not all people can go out to transact because of the quarantine, so far I have seen a lot of success story by online entrepreneur it's a win win situation between sellers and those who are in quarantine.
I don't know what your country is, mate, but that's also the case in our country (I'm from Philippines, btw).

A lot of people I know became businessmen during this time of pandemic. They made use of the social media, Facebook primarily, to conduct their businesses. From food to clothing to cosmetics to other essential needs, to services like digital art, all were sold and offered online.

Another trend right now is the "barter"— the trading of goods. Like for example, I have a bag that I'm not using anymore, I could trade it for vegetables. Something like that, depending on the deal of the traders.

With this, I must say that people will do anything to survive. And this pandemic allowed us to showcase our talents and skills that can help others and also ourselves.

Random coins :)
As bad as covid is, I would like to think people will invest more in online stuff like opening up online stores unlike brick and mortar stores which some people are used to and the education sector too will see schooling online become more popular as people will try to avoid in-person tutoring, honestly things will just never go back to normal!

We're still coping and haven't really adjusted yet to the so-called "new normal." But at some point, we have to face the facts and reality that we somehow must find a way to adapt and change in order to survive not only the Pandemic, but the economic effects, including the jobs that it has affected or eradicated now as well.

Take note, a lot of people and businesses are currently still either fighting against COVID-19's direct and indirect effects towards their lively hood. And worst of all, we haven't found a proven cure and/or a vaccine yet against the COVID-19 Pandemic.


I know of lots of people who have proven to themselves that their cure works. It worked on them.

After the virus if you open everything the work won't be the maximum amount as before the number of jobs is going to be reduced in many places during which case the workers could also be laid off. But tons of individuals are going to be hired when everything goes on again Although the amount of employees decreases it'll gradually increase.

I don't know about other countries, but in Russia, especially in state institutions, the efficiency of employees tends to zero. I'm not saying that they don't work completely, but they have about 20-40% free time. The pandemic will make employers pay attention to this and organize the work of their staff more competently.

Many companies adopted the work from home since their employees can't go to work because of the lockdown and even the lockdown have been lifted in their area some companies still do this. Some people do their job online like teaching through online classes and do online selling. I knew people that already launched an app in order to have a job for the people that don't have any job yet. We still struggling to this crisis but day by day people adopt what is the new normal.

When a door closes, a window opens. Sadly indeed, this pandemic has closed a lot of business already and it started an unprecedented surge in unemployment instead.

If you're a business owner, you must evolve and see what market you can thrive and compete.

If you're an employee, you must upskill or reskill yourself towards the job opportunities that will be more in demand towards the new normal that the whole world is facing at the momentl.

No one knows exactly when COVID-19 will end but it'll not last very long Many countries have come in check and are ready to affect the virus. Hopefully the planet is going to be as beautiful as before. After COVID-19 the urge to form a legal document increases If everything is opened the demand for work will increase tremendously The country's economy has plummeted thanks to the virus which can increase the workload.

It is possible that the demand for work will increase, but it is unlikely to return to the same level. Many companies have had to send some employees to work remotely. I think the Coronavirus story has given these companies an experience they will use when this whole muddy story is over. Well, if they don't have to organize work in the office, some positions will just be cut.

I think after coronavirus people will continue to try to survive as before.  If we want to make our life beautiful and successful, we have to use time. Survivors who have illuminated life with bright light are the best people.  Let's dream and try our best to build that dream. One day this Covid-19 will surely end InshaAllah.

I agree with this especially to the first suggestion. We really had to utilize the use of different social media platforms as it is the most convenient and safe way of selling goods now. I just to add to the possible job that people could do is that people could enter the delivery services since a lot of people uses this services because they dont want to go outside due to possible risk of acquiring the virus.
