In light of the recent wave of #layoffs from Meta, Redfin, and others, I'm noticing a major increase in stress and general anxiety. Even people with stable #employment are wondering about their future.
To stay safe, here are 5 ways you can future-proof your income: 🧵
1. Explore Freelancing.
Platforms like @Upwork can be a great way to generate some additional income at your own pace.
You can find part-time and full-time opportunities depending on your skill set.
In 2022, I managed to generate over $50,000 from freelance projects.
2. Learn new skills.
Platforms like @coursera provide tons of free learning courses with treasure troves of information.
You can learn at your own pace and add valuable high-income skills.
In 2022, I managed to complete over 4 courses on the platform.
3. Join a community
Becoming a part of a learning community can accelerate your learning process.
Communities like Utopia by @wizofecom provide exceptional value and help you connect with likeminded individuals that help you grow.
4. Showcase your skillset.
Even if you're actively working for a company, it can be a great idea to showcase your skills to potential clients.
Platforms like @Behance are ideal for expressions of your skills.
An active portfolio can help you attract new opportunities.
5. Activate your social media profiles.
If you're one of the people that only consume content through social media, you need to step up the effort.
Regularly posting on your socials can help you engage with new audiences and make meaningful connections.
