Bloggers
When you start writing a blog, you might not immediately consider it a way in which you can earn money. However, you’d be surprised about the various ways in which you can make and save money by running a blog. In fact, many blogs have seen a huge increase in traffic over 2020, as people have more time to source, read, and share content they enjoy with others.
Retail Workers
The past year has also seen a rise in the demand for those who work within the retail, especially in relation to grocery stores. As a result, you may notice there have been more callouts for cashiers and managers in this field. Even better, the demand is likely to grow as we move into winter and they search for staff to help them meet the increase in sales that occur during the run-up to Christmas.
