Pandemic-proof your life and income if you are non-essential, quarantined at home, or working from home. We are living in uncertain times and should be prioritizing:

• Being safe and healthy
• Saving money
• Mitigating risk
• Having pandemic-proof income

Pandemic-proof referrals

I love Fiverr

Start using Fiverr with this referral. What is that? Fiverr is a network of online freelancers who can help you get your work done, like designing a book cover for the book you should totally write in your infinite free time right now.

I use Fiverr. It works, it’s great.

Fiverr’s message if you use the referral above: Discover the easiest way to hire online freelancers and get 20% off your first order. From marketing to tech, complete all your projects on Fiverr. On budget. On time. Sounds too good to be true? See for yourself!

You are like Oindree, why are you giving us random codes and referrals? These suggestions are anything but random. I am trying to focus your attention on the things that are working, on the things that are pandemic-proof. 

Uber Eats is pandemic-proof. Restaurants that don’t adapt to carry-out and delivery are going to shut down because nobody is eating at sit-down restaurants anymore. You have to do the same. You have to adapt as well.

Adapt, or crumble.

Fiverr is pandemic-proof because it was always an online network of freelancers anyway. You could use their services for your online business or you could even become one of them! If you lost your job but have a huge social media following or an understanding of what works on social media, you could become a social media marketing manager for businesses. Like this. You could help me. I will need someone who can help to market my next book, for example. Let’s all help each other! We are in it together, right? 

I mean, let’s just take a moment to be grateful for the Internet. It has already set us up for huge success by providing a way to get through this pandemic, to even thrive during this pandemic. We just have to figure out what ways excite us the most in generating an income using the Internet. 

Get online! It’s pandemic-proof. 

Get online not to watch Netflix, but to figure out ways in which you can produce income by simply doing work while using an Internet connection. The Internet is like water right now as far as an essential utility. It is the commodity that you can utilize to produce income. Therefore, here is advice on lowering your Internet bill. Whether you follow these strategies or not, the Internet and proper use of it is a must right now. Stop wasting time and start making money online.

Let’s start living the life we have always wanted to because there is no excuse not to do that anymore. Change is not only coming, but it is also upon us, and Nature is forcing us to follow our dreams. 

Accept It  

Before you do anything great, you need to accept that change is not only coming, it is here. Life is simply different now. You are quarantined or in a lockdown. You can’t get together with your family for Easter. I don’t know if you can get together with your family for Easter even next year. First things first, accept that. 

That’s right, we don’t know. 

Lockdowns and quarantines are helping to “flatten the curve,” but the question everyone is asking is “When will life get back to normal?” 

What if, “Never” is the answer? It could be that the normal we knew and loved, or the normal we knew and hated will never come back.

Forget the past. We have to open our minds to what is possible.  

“Never” calls for pandemic-proofing

Think about it.

“Never” is far more likely than “June” as far as life going back to normal. I mean, until they have a vaccine for the COVID-19, can we start socializing like we used to? Probably not. Vaccines take time to develop and we are looking at something like 12-18 months. That’s not a couple of weeks. That’s pretty long term.

Expecting everything to be normal and waiting for us to rejoin is naive. The change will continue to happen, the world will become a different place, and you have to move with it. 

What have you always wanted to do?

It is time to realize your true calling and execute it in a pandemic-proof manner. Some things will be harder to pandemic-proof than others, but you need to focus your energy on figuring out how to do that rather than hoping that things will be better soon.

By the way…

If you are looking for STEM resources for kids interested in science, below is an article I wrote a while ago with a number of pandemic-proof suggestions. I will be sharing more resources to help with homeschooling kids on this website.
