Its very bad of covid19. It has caused people a lot, and affected offline business more often. Its never easy to come up with better saving routine when the sources of income is very low couple with needs becoming more demanding than what we are making as income.
The pandemic really caused us not to save money we earned. I'm happy that the dreaded disease is slowly erasing on earth. Sooner the earth will return back its normal activities, but the measures to combat it will still be put in place to avoid it entirely. I'm happy you got a contract from a company and you've saved from it to start up your own business. I wish you success as you enter into the business line.
That's true, the pandemic also paved a way for people to make money both online and offline. At least you made adjustment to learning a lucrative skills, being a programmer and also a good Tyler and other numerous which i don't know. Gradually you'll return back to the amount you earned offline, or more as the case maybe.
I lost my job during the first wave of the pandemic. However, the pandemic also opened new doors. I started working online. I am not earning as much as I was earning from my job, but I am doing well. A lot of people used pandemic as an opportunities, I know many people who are not making money by selling masks and hand sanitizers.
That's a sad one for people who lost their job during the first wave of the pandemic. Things have changed drastically low since the pandemic emanated. Its just not easy at all, their is steady redundancy in the workplace, either by salary or ousting of employees. Those who engaged in saving money long time for uncertainties like this, aren't all that affected financially with the pandemic.
That's not bad luck, you aren't bad luck, rather its the kind of time we find ourselves. Competition everywhere, maybe one of your competitors application is favoured ahead of your own, based on his or her below asking price for the tasks. That happens to me via freelancer.com site, but i wouldn't be discouraged to keep on applying.
Sometimes it is all about luck. I believe in hard work and I believe in trying harder and pushing your limit, but sometimes no matter what you do, you cannot become successful, you continuously fail. Sometimes I have a bad and all of my job applications are rejected on upwork, however, sometimes I get responses from all employees.
The positive about you now working independently, is that no one detects for you what to do and when not to do it. At least you're the boss of your own, doing things at your own normal will. Even if you're earnings aren't matching your offline gig back then. But consistency in your online gig will take you past your previous earnings in the future.
Very nice that you're generating full-time income online since you lost you full-time job offline. I see the waves you've made through your engagement. On PTP sites, and your programming skill which you told me about, that earns you reasonable amount of money via upwork. I just trying to improve on my own, add some skills to earn full-time online and offline, through my indoor business.
I'm happy you've made what is enough for you at the moment to make yourself comfortable during this unprecedented hard time posed by the global pandemic and the economic hardship in our country. We aren't suffering covid19 anymore in Nigeria, just economic hardship is just tormenting us cos of bad govt allowing prices of food stuff to rise and lowering the means of making money in the country legitimately.
