For millions of Americans, the additional $600 in unemployment benefits that was provided under the $2.2 trillion CARES Act is long gone. Federal payments ended July 25th, 2020, and many people are left with a new money reality.
Although the extra unemployment benefits are depleted, there are still bills that need to be paid and monthly expenses that need to be managed. So, what should you do to avoid a financial meltdown? Keep your head up, mind your mental game and start creating income opportunities.
Here are three ways to increase your income while improving your health:
Teach Virtual Dance Classes
People are stressed, exhausted and worried about the future. You can relieve these unwanted feelings through virtual dance classes.
Dance is a powerful art form, and form of fitness that boosts one’s physical and mental health. When you dance, your body releases endorphins that transport you to a state of happiness. It’s easy to forget about the pain around you when you’re allowing your body to flow freely to some of your favorite beats and harmonies.
If you’re able to create a fun, motivational environment that allows people to see a new reality, your virtual dance classes will be a hit! You’ll also get a good workout in that will help you burn some calories and tap into your happy hormones.
Do your research, share your aspirations on social media and prepare yourself to get started within the next 30 days. If developing choreography is not your cup of tea, don’t worry. You can sign up for certifications in various dance formats such as WERQ Fitness and Zumba to give you access to routines that you can teach to others. Make sure you acquire the necessary training, and have participants sign a waiver so you’re not liable for any injuries.
Create Healthy Food Demonstrations from Your Kitchen
No matter how much you exercise, you won’t be your healthiest self unless you are focused on your nutrition too. That’s why helping people create healthy meals can be a profitable venture. While you’re in your kitchen testing creative food choices for you or your family, you can share what you are doing with the world and help others develop better food options as well.
Turn your recipes into a book, and you’ve created another source of passive income that you can share with the public during your healthy food demonstrations!
Become A Fitness Coach
Many people are working remotely now and have seen their to-do lists grow rapidly. Sitting in front of a computer screen daily on back-to-back Zoom meetings has become the norm. Unfortunately, fitness has taken a back-seat as people learn to adapt to the other changes taking place in their lives. People are begging for someone to save the day, and bring a sense of sanity to their lives. That’s why the services of a fitness coach are invaluable.
As a fitness coach, you have the opportunity to hold others accountable for achieving their goals. Work with people to create a realistic plan of action and help them track their progress. Being the accountability partner that people need during this time of uncertainty can quickly increase your income.
Research other fitness coaches to learn best practices. Get the necessary certifications to help you achieve the best results for your clients. Also, share your fitness routines via social media. Your best advertisement for your services is always you! If people see you consistently focused on your fitness objectives and achieving results, they’ll be lined up in your inbox trying to work with you. You may also attract sponsors who’ll want to compensate you for promoting their fitness apparel and products!
