Have you checked out Facebook’s Marketplace recently? This new feature allows you to buy and sell new and used items through Facebook Marketplace.

You should go ahead with the idea right away because every minute that you delay this decision is a loss in terms of money. Homestay is catching up fast and people prefer to stay at somebody’s home for the love and care that it brings instead of a hotel where services are increasingly becoming impersonal and profit-oriented.

You will surely find a way to make money here.

If you have some saleable skills like web development, writing, editing, or something else, trying selling it on Fiverr or Upwork.

When there is no work, use the time to make money elsewhere.
