We all need to earn additional income. Who would not want additional cash on their wallet? In this day and age, people from all walks of life need additional income, even those who have acquired their degree. What are the possible ways to earn for any profession?
Freelance Article Writer
The internet's full of it. Thank you for Google's update, a website should always have fresh content to make it relevant. A person who practices their profession is an expert on their own. Who would better describe teaching methods than a teacher? Who can better explain illness and expected treatments than a nurse or a doctor? Who can better identify problems in behavior than a psychologist? Information is a commodity that the internet is selling like pies. A professional can write a dichotomy of a variety of subjects. There is always a need for someone to explain an aspect of the profession and in terms that the layman can understand. This is one channel a professional can learn additional income.
Teaching
How do students become teachers, doctors or nurses? They were guided and taught by people who gained knowledge and skills from the same profession. A nurse can study and gain the needed certification to provide classroom teaching. The nurse does not need to stop being a nurse in a hospital or a clinic. The nurse can simply come in for the classroom lecture or supervise students in the clinical area.
Consultancy Services
The knowledge and skills that a professional acquires through years of experience in their field can be used to guide other professionals. For instance, a professional with a doctorate can provide consultancy services for a specified amount of fee to professionals that are completing their thesis or dissertations. They can also provide solutions for an individual or a company wanting to address conflicts in their organization.
Write a book
For someone who has a lot of time in their hands, writing a book can be an avenue for additional earnings. While this may take time for some, when the book gets published and the target audience starts subscribing or buying the book, the income will continue for years, until a new one is published.
An individual is limited only by their set of values. Additional income is always welcome, but it does not have to be a new job with better pay. A professional can always give advice and provide knowledge for a specified amount of fee without leaving the security of their current job.

Are You Thinking Ahead to Post-Corona Life?
Many of you focus on how to survive the next few months.
I'm not knocking it - this is a crazy time, so it pays to have a strategy.
Having said that...
Are you thinking about what comes next?
For when the world returns to more-or-less normal?
Because it will return. With every crisis, folk said it would change everything forever. But let's not exaggerate it. 9/11 changed the world... and even so, things mostly returned to normal. Same again with 2008 and (for some Americans) Trump's election and a dozen other catastrophes.
The 'new normal' is always closer to the old normal than it might seem.
This pandemic is no different. It will break because pandemics always do. The first-hit countries are already bouncing back - the rest of us have to wait it out. I doubt the coronavirus will ever disappear, but it won't dominate forever. It can't.
I'm sure the smart entrepreneurs and executives are thinking ahead to when crowds become a thing again.
How about you?
When I say things will return to normal, I'm talking on average. For some folk, this experience will break them. They'll get used to isolation and keep up that habit, long into the future.
Why go out to restaurants, when junk food can arrive at your door?
What's the point of playing board games, after a few months of bingeing on video games?
Who cares about cinemas when the internet is right here?
Some folk will spend the rest of their lives exercising less, getting less fresh air and sun, and refusing physical contact at all costs.
The rest of you?
You're thinking of all the things you took for granted - even something as small as going to a restaurant with friends.
You're going to travel more and explore more.
Social distancing can't end soon enough, and when it does you're going to shake every hand. Maybe even hug more. Why not?
You're going to get out into nature, exercise more, have healthier hobbies and embrace every moment.
Maybe you'll even quit that job you hate (because look what getting locked in a box with recycled air got you?) or at least use this to work more flexibly.
I'm lucky enough to have money coming in still, so I'm saving money for some training and travel. You better believe I'm watching the number of active cases in each country, looking forward to the day we're all free again.
That day will come slower if you languish.
If you atrophy on the couch.
If you invest in yourself, though?
In your mind, your body, your emotions and your finances?
You'll be out the door and in the sunshine while everyone else is rubbing the sleep from their eyes.

The Rich Look like Beggars, and the Beggars Look like Kings
By: Jon Morrow
If you saw my father on a normal day, you'd feel sorry for him. His clothes are worn and coated with a mosaic of dirt, paint, and other unidentifiables. His boots are solid blocks of mud. His head is covered with a worn-out baseball cap, usually soaked in sweat.
You'd think he was a beggar. But he's not. He's one of the wealthiest and fastest growing landowners in northern Mississippi.
Movies and television have created a stereotype of the millionaire, and like most stereotypes, it's completely false. Rich people don't drive fancy cars, live in mansions, or cart around entourages of sexy playthings.
They know better. As one of my most successful mentors told me, "Getting rich is not about how much money spend, but about how much money you keep."
To illustrate, here are some comments from my investors:
A car payment? Why, I can't remember the last time I made one.
About a year ago, my father invited all of our investors to a private conference in his home near Memphis, TN. You've never seen so many rich people. If you tallied up the net worth of everyone in the room, I'm sure you'd go well over $100 million.
When I drove up to the house though, all I could do was laugh. Looking at all of the cars in the driveway, you'd think you were at a retirement home. The newest car in the driveway was from 1998. The majority of them were models from the 80s... and older. None of them were freshly detailed or flashy. You would have never guessed that all of them were owned by millionaires.
Talking to the investors about them was also interesting. I didn't ask everyone about their car, but the few I talked with told me they'd paid for the car in full a long time ago. They were also focused on regularly maintaining the car. Performance was just as important as price.
Buy a mansion? God no. Who needs all that space?
Knowing how to leverage their money and tax benefits, you'd think millionaire real estate investors would live in huge houses. But you'd be fooled, once again. Most of the millionaires I know live in modest houses in good neighborhoods. The average value is probably around $300,000.
They also own the houses debt free. Usually, they bought their house years ago for a steal in a good area, and then they lived there while it appreciated. To properly leverage their equity, they keep credit lines open, so they can take advantage of short-term opportunities.
Wear a suit? No, I prefer to work in my underwear
Through a series of coincidences over the years, I've learned that nearly all of my investors work in their underwear or pajamas. When they're forced to leave the house, they usually wear sweats or khakis. During the past five years, I've never seen one of them wearing a suit.
They have three reasons:
Cost. Dry cleaning is expensive. You save money by dressing down.
Practicality. Investors deal with a wide range of less fortunate people that distrust people in suits.
Comfort. Suits are uncomfortable, so unless you have to impress your banker, stay comfortable.
The Moral of the Story: Live like a Millionaire and You'll Become One
Not surprisingly, the most successful real estate investors I know are the most frugal people I know. I'm not talking about being miserly either. They live exceptionally well, but they do it with less money and more attention to practicality than pizzazz. If you want to get rich, act like them. Start living below your means and you'll see your wealth grow much faster.
Also, I've learned to be suspicious of people driving fancy cars and living in huge houses. While some are genuinely wealthy, most are in debt up to their eyeballs. They're usually insecure people, trying desperately to convince everyone they're rich. To use a metaphor:
You can judge a book by it's cover, but remember, the classics are rarely new and shiny. Their faded covers are evidence of their survival and their tattered pages were created by the hands of countless loving fans.

Financial Freedom! Is It For You?
By: Yvonne Finn
Financial Freedom!
What does financial freedom mean to you?
Does it mean buying anything you want regardless of how much it cost?
Does it mean spending your days in ways that enrich and empower you instead of being at the beck and call of an employer?
Is there anyone in the world who wouldn't agree that the dream to be financially free is a universally desired goal?
But how does one create and maintain this sought after state of financial freedom.
Surely, it is not by working hard at a job. We've all heard the grim statistics of people working hard, only to end up old and very poor.
Having a job is not a secure method to achieve your desire to be financially free!
Many employees, from clerks to CEO's have found themselves unceremoniously dumped from jobs they thought were secure.
Even employees who are lucky enough or maybe foolish to hang on into retirement, working for someone else, are finding that the pension that they counted on is insufficient to cover their hoped for and deserved life of ease.
Taking an informed, involved and hands on role in your finances is the only way to be financially free.
No one else can be as passionate about your financial goals, dreams and desires as you are.
Others may or may not share your commitment to achieve your financial independence, however, that does not reduce your responsibility to make every attempt to achieve it.
Very often, when I talk about money and how freeing it is to have enough to live a self-directed life, there is always one person who will say," money is not that important" or "money can't buy happiness".
Of course it's true that money cannot buy happiness, nothing can, for happiness is a state of mind that you choose for yourself, regardless of circumstances or the attitudes of others.
And money IS important for the things that money CAN do, such as good schools for your children, spending your time how you choose, supporting charities and so much more.
So, how do you achieve financial freedom?
Acknowledge and accept that whatever financial state you are in presently is a result of the actions you have taken up to that point in your life.
Then decide that you want to create a brighter, more secure financial future for yourself and those who depend on you.
Do an in-depth financial analysis beginning with your credit rating.
If your rating is not a good one or you don't yet have a credit history, begin the process of restoring or establish one.
Excellent or even just good credit will be your solid foundation on which you will build your financial freedom.
After addressing your credit score the next step will be to learn about wealth creation tools and strategies.
Get help with this step by leveraging the knowledge of a trusted team of financial planners.
Enjoying a life of financial freedom need not remain just a distant dream.
Get passionate about your desire to build wealth, make a new plan and take well-advised actions.
Create a new plan and achieve your goals.
You provide the dreams and the desire and we will provide the sound, customized advice and planning that will help you build wealth and achieve financial independence.

Maintaining Momentum During a Global Slowdown
You have spent countless weekends positioning your business, tweaking your product, perfecting your offer. Tirelessly sacrificing your free time, investing all your efforts into your passion, your dream, your wonderfully spectacular goal. You have built it and you're ready to reap the fruitful rewards when…
With little warning, literally overnight, the world suddenly changes. The rules were frantically rewritten, the access to your clients became extremely limited, and ‘business as usual’ abruptly and quickly held to a new definition.
So we are now faced with a new dilemma, on this precipice of the unknown; how do we maintain momentum during this global slowdown?
3 Key Activities for Your Business
As the dawn of the new norm brings the instability of fear and panic, the loss of predictable income, and limitation to your business, that are far outside of your contingency plans, you are left with two choices; sink or swim.
Your natural instinct is to survive, to thrive in the face of adversity and to shine in the glory of triumph.
That is the outlook needed to become a market leader in this new and uncharted climate.
As I amp'd up my activities, I knew there were 3 key activities that would prove to be the most effective and rewarding for my business. If done correctly, you will bring to fruition more than you’ve planned or desired, soon realizing there is hope and benefit to a global slowdown, for you and your clients too.
Action Item One - Stay Active on Social Media.
This is not the time to retreat, to panic or lower your voice. This is the time to be present, to lead, to inspire and draw attention to what you offer. But you can no longer do it in the pre-slowdown way. You will need to be creative in how you share your messaging.
Joint ventures- - cross promoting, hosting online meetups, offering free content of value, and being your true authentic self.
Remember, people are looking for a break from the perils they’re facing. Your business may offer the distraction they need and if done correctly, may just lift their spirits, turning them into a referral client, just because you stayed present in a time of crisis.
The Second Action Item - Podcasts
This is a strategy I began, with laser focus and determined intent, to be a champion of for 2020. My mission, be a guest- - on multiple podcasts shows each month of the year for the entire year.
This is not a simple task. It will take some planning, online networking, and campaigning to draw the opportunities to you. But now more than ever, people will turn to the power of the podcast to help them through these frightening times. People are looking for inspiration, motivation and solutions that will bring them hope.
Learning is suddenly a valuable currency and will be a game changing asset in this untrodden future.
Your Last Action Item - Blog What You Know
If the global slowdown gave me one gift, it was the gift of time. Time for my kids, time for my wife and time to write. There are many ways to share your writing. Many places to connect with your clients and help people with the solution you share.
With time comes curiosity, inquisitiveness, exploration; this is how they will find you. They will look for answers to questions they never had time to answer, until now. Your blog may be the golden nugget they were seeking, but didn’t realize where to find it.
This will drive people back to your website, Amazon page- -Amazon page, social media hub, or anywhere you direct them.
When you marry all three strategies together, in unison, you develop a magnetizing voice that will empower and inspire your audience to follow you and become a client.
This is how you maintain momentum during a global slowdown.
