Are you fed up of quarantine? So am I.

After spending time on Netflix, gaming and counting all the
stars in the sky, I have finally decided to try something new. I
started listening podcast and came across some facts that shocked me to the core.

According to Podcast, Unemployment wave is about the hit most of US states due to lock down. It is estimated that by June over 14 million people will lose their job and the situation is about to get worsen than 2008 recession. P.S: I am not jobless (so far).Since then, I started thinking about the worst-case scenario – what if I had no job, and nowhere to go due to COVID-19. So, I gave myself a challenge to figure out multiple ways to make money when you have following things:1 – A Laptop2 – An internet connection 3 – Plenty of time Fortunately, I am associated to online-selling industry so I did not have to think for too long to figure out ways to make money from home.So, here are the five genuine ways that I found out that can help you to make money in quarantine.

1. Become Transcriber

If you are good in understanding different English accents like me than you can easily make some good money by working for few hours in a day. You just need to hear an audio and convert it into text form.But, you need some smart working because if you do the whole process manually then it would take you multiple hours to transcribe a 10 minutes video. That’s where  comes to the rescue. Its free plan (600 minutes/month) would help you transcribe a video easily. You just need to upload audio and it will transcribe it, however it is auto generated so you need to listen the audio and read the text carefully and correct text that has been wrongly transcribed.This practice would save a lot of time while transcribing. Trust me I am telling it from personal experience.Here are some website where you can get Transcribing jobs,




Register yourself on these websites for free and select the
transcribing jobs from list.

2. Teach Online

Here I am not talking about preparing a full-fledged course for Udemy or Skillshare. You can teach even if you do not have any college degree.
