COVID-19 – At Home/No Work

Hey you! I hope you are staying safe in these tough times. If there were ever a time where we all needed to work together as a team, it’s now. Speaking of work, I started getting a sore throat almost two weeks ago now (13 days ago to be precise). I was told by my health authority where I live that I should self-isolate just until my symptom goes away (as a sore throat isn’t one of the major symptoms of COVID-19). So, I’ve been at home since then; no work, no income.

So, I’m on day 13 and my sore throat is still present. I’ve done all that I can to try and get rid of it, talked to 3 different doctors, had testing done, been on 2 different prescriptions, and followed suggestions from the doctors on different things to try. Nothing has worked so far.

So, in my time at home, twiddling my thumbs, I have had no income coming in, as I mentioned. I have applied for unemployment funds from my government, but of course that will take time for me to actually receive.

I decided to make at least a bit of income, at the advice of my boyfriend, and do what he does in his spare time just for a bit of extra coin in the pocket. Surveys for money.

Surveys will by no means make you rich, or even replace your full-time income, but if you’re stuck at home by yourself, with no income at the moment, you might as well do something to make some extra money.

So, I joined 3 survey websites. Then I joined 5 more. I’ve been working on these for the time being. I have decided to start logging my progress on them as of a couple days ago so I can share with you the best ones out of those.
