Unfortunately, from a position (geographical and financial), I am forced to take sporadic additional jobs, sometimes in crypto, sometimes outside of it, but there is always something going around. And it's not because I want to, it's just the way it is. But, crypto made it easier to get some additional income. But, who knows how long that will last.

You are responding like the type that has no passion for cryptocurrency, like it was chance and hard times that pushed in for it. Actually most traders find it that way like you but have moved more inside of it to embrace it by learning more of it. If you don't have passion for trading, you will run up for copy trading.

My country do not even have age range that unemployment is affected, the unemployment is affecting every one. Covid19 pandemic now make the whole situation worst. For now crypto work and youtubing is the easiest way to earn a living for the youth in my country in which Bitcointalk.org is the major reliable crypto platform most of us are earning a living.  I am ready to take additional work.

A few of my friends are struggling to get a job. They are in their mid-lives and the country they live in is particularly difficult to find a job at a certain age. Also, when some recovery was being noticed after the 2008 - 2012 crisis, COVID struck hard on an economy with a strong tourism sector. Meanwhile, I made some choices that landed me an stable and reasonably paid job that also leaves enough time to do other stuff that generates income or reduces my costs if I wish to do so.

What is the situation in your country and for yourself? Would you be able to land additional work for example working with crypto, selling stuff on-line, youtubing or something else?
Due to the pandemic, having a regular job has become a blessing and not a burden for many. Some would consider theirselves as fortunate since they still have a job that helps the suffice their family's needs while some are struggling to find one as their past job's company closes down due to bankruptcy. Nowadays, it is all about finding any possible means to earn money and having an additional work will also give you some advantage. In my case, I have a regular job yet I still pursue investing in crypto and some other jobs that is profitable because no one knows what the future holds, I want to secure it as much as possible.

I believe that the situation in the world is more or less similar in terms of work and making money. In larger countries, the situation may be a little better, but in general, many people, especially young people, need a good job, or at least additional work. Personally, I previously worked in different jobs and eventually switched to remote work. To some extent, this is better than I had before, but as before, there is no stability. In simple words, if you want to make money all the time, you need to work hard. In general, nothing has changed, but new opportunities have appeared for me and I am now using them.

Those side hustles that you've mentioned can be done almost by anyone that has enough money and time, I think the answer for most is unanimously yes, they will take extra work if required. No point being squeamish over the side hustle if you know that you're going to make more money. Careful choosing a side job though, make sure that it's worth your time.

My preferred kind of side works/jobs are those that won't prevent me from doing what I've been called to do by my CREATOR. I actually prefer to be self employed, doing things I'm most passionate about. So the love for the work comes first before income, and I prefer to focus more on those I'm talented in.

* I should be able to do the works anywhere considering that I may not be staying one place for too long. Once a work meets the criteria, I'd probably do it.

Not really. I have got a job and I think I could say I have two side hustles by playing poker and by writing here for signature campains. Apart from that I have to live.

To get a second job would mean to have absolutely no time for me and/or have to give up side hustles, which I would only do if I was very well paid because poker and writing here do not pay me as if it were a second full-time job but I do those activities comfortably from my computer, and with freedom of schedule. I can write/play poker more or less depending on how I am feeling, if I have a more busy social life that week etc.

Oh hell yeah! I am already focused on making mutliple income sources and that is actaully needed. Considering the covid situation the world's changing very very fast and you never know when your employer will dump you in life point. Though I am in life science field, and have less fear of loosing the job then also I consider myself scared and keep doing multiple things.

I am working on my pencil artwork all the time, I am also working blog site which I am willing to launch real soon. Just focusing on adwords for now and signature campaign is the life saver too. So yeah, I am given more job then yes, I am ready to do it. Thats indeed needed!

I can say that I'm a workaholic, or I simply dont know how to spend free time and I'm living a boring life. If I someone asks me to do something extra at work, I would love to do it. Maybe this is a result that my work tasks are quite routine, or I've been working in same company on same position for years.

While at home, I even caught myself thinking about what should I do next or what should I do now to get some extra money. I'm must say that I'm not living on an edge from salary to salary; I can afford lots of things. I just often think about what should I do now, that will in future help me to get some passive income or that will help me to do things easier and quicker. Instead or while watching movie or tv-series, I do parallel tasks like from Micro Earnings or easy get paid for completing micro tasks (yandex toloka for example).

I would love to do extra work, but I have some limits. I will do tasks if I can do them comfort conditions. I would not go work night shifts as a parking guard for example.

I have been working full-time for the majority of my life, but I have made time for additional work to fund my Crypto activities and these activities have funded Crypto profits of more than 800% of my initial investment.

People do not understand the impact that a small investment (Say $10 to $30 per week) into Crypto currencies, can have over time. Those small investments that are funded from "additional" work, can yield massive returns in the future. (It can also drop to zero, but you have to manage that risk, by taking profits to cover your initial investment ...when the opportunity are there to do it)  Wink

I don't take loans, ask for sig if I ever do.
Not sure if I'd last but I'd start with developing my art skills and if possible, together with some video editing and blender stuff. Those have been my passion and I've started developing in them slowly, just that it's taking so much time to learn, especially since I'm trying to learn what, 2-3 types. I'm currently trying my hand out on various beer money jobs that I got from reddit plus some NFT games, but honestly, if my skills were actually a LOT better, I'd be willing to take commissions and stuff since it helps me both in developing and learning as well as earning money.

Hard to find a job than getting fired. As much as possible having 2-3 jobs today is fine. I know some of them right now, a friend Eddie works as a janitor in the nearby hospital also works as a trash collector in the building where I live as a trash collector for 3days a week.  I talk to him from time to time whenever he comes, we chat sometimes and just smoke a cigarette outside. He is fine with what he earns as it pays the bills.

YouTube career is taking the next step especially after the covid even truck drivers started vlogging and travel vlogs, cooking or doing stupid scripted pranks, etc so the opportunity is vast and we need that courage to step into it by overcoming all our fear.

I live in a country where most working people are looking for a source of income outside their regular salaries. This is because regular salaries for ordinary workers cannot support a decent family life, especially if only one of the spouses are employed and they have children.

They have no choice if they want to improve their quality of life but to find alternative sources of income. Selling stuff, whether online or offline, is one way to augment income. Others are also freelancing. Some others are doing extra short jobs when they get home from work.

Personally, I'm doing well with my limited income because I have yet to build a family. But I know that once I have a family, I, too would be compelled to look for more ways to earn.

What is the situation in your country and for yourself? Would you be able to land additional work for example working with crypto, selling stuff on-line, youtubing or something else?

In my country, it is not advisable to completely depend on earnings from one job because there are price control body here or the one we have is no longer functioning, so you can see the prices of commodities in the market or the price of services changing very quickly and abnormally.

So if you don't seek out ways to diversify and increase your income, you might soon find out that your income is not enough to support your ever increasing expenditure, and the government here is not helping issues.

You can take additional work, or start a side hustle, whichever one it is, you just have to ensure that it doesn't take up completely your free time and disrupt your peace.

Yes. As long as you still can manage to take a mother job, it wouldn't be a problem. The pandemic is really putting us all in a bad position, I was just thinking of moving out of the city and live in a campaign site near the beach where I can actually cash a fishing line myself to save some money and at the same time work online.

My offline job however isn't something I can negotiate with. All I can do is just follow the rules, wear a mask to continue while there's few option.

Personally, I'm okay with taking on some side hustles but definitely not any further major commitments at this point.

I think that COVID has really diveded us into two categories that form quite the dichotomy. One is the hospitality/tourism industry that is struggling big time due to lockdowns, and the other is the overworked population that are WFH.

I've heard horror stories of WFH from my friends working in financial services - they seem to be stretched beyond imagination already.

Due to pandemic I have stop working since the company temporarily close for operation. I do online selling now and doing trading. There are many online jobs that we can apply with but these doesn't guarantee in long term so having back ups or side hustle will help to survive and paid our bills. We’re still lucky that we know crypto that we can trade or have jobs related in it.

Agreed, I'm working two jobs and two side hustles right now, and it makes me wonder how long these jobs will last because I'm pretty sure I'll be doing them until I'm fired or they go down, but my family's future is also in jeopardy because I don't know what I'll do if these jobs disappear. I had also lost my job prior to applying for this job, and it has been extremely difficult since the pandemic. I hope everything is going well for  you and that get accepted in your dream jobs.

I'm always looking for something else to complement my income, but it's not that easy. The problematic countries like mine are the majority and at same time they are the most populated ones, so of course there won't be enough jobs' spots for everyone. I'm constantly thinking about new ideas on what to search online to find opportunities, however without much success, because there are many people on the same situation.

There are plenty of youtubers teaching others to earn money online, but besides views they just want referrals for their personal accounts and the shared methods offer scarce spots, making most of their content useless. Outside the internet there isn't much to do, because the local economy is broken and it would be a big risk to start a business these days. Also, the local society already has its mafias who help their own members only. If you are an independent person who doesn't belong to groups, opportunities just won't be disponible in your area.

On the other hand I think I can't complain at all, because at least I've found a precious opportunity on this forum and in bitcoin. I'm really thankful for this.
