I just graduated in media studies and I have yet to find a job. Is there any way to start freelancing during this COVID-19 period to earn a bit of cash? How should I begin?

I never planned to freelance but since it is so difficult to find a job during this period, I thought maybe I could try freelancing out.

Hey Anon! First of all congrats for graduating, it's been a tough year so far. Perhaps what I can suggest you to do is to start some personal project. What kind of media studies are you in? Maybe you can try to run a social media campaign? Write an article? Publish them and get some reviews or feedbacks.

From here on, you can try to reach out to smaller business (by small, I mean those 1 owner company), offer them help to publicise their business or write for them. You can begin with a super low value and gradually increase it.

The thing about freelance is that you've to prove that your skills are good and the results are good. TLDR; build on your portfolio and work your way up.

Would it be wise to be a freelancer in the media industry since it is so difficult to find a job? The job market is getting insanely competitive, would freelancing make a better option (temporarily)?

Am currently still studying but want to earn a bit more. How to start investing? I want to start investing (small capital) can anyone recommend me which is a good start?

I am an ITE graduate from the class of 2020. Will it be difficult for me to find a decent-paying (at least $2.5k) job during this period since even university graduates are struggling?

I’m a 24 year old graduate. Should I quit my job as a private tutor (home-based, 40 students), earns me 6k and can develop into tuition ctr or find job that pays 3.5k? Money VS social life (since I work on nights and weekends, and I’m home-based)?

I resigned from my full-time job 3 months ago to work as a freelancer but this was before Covid-19 got worse. Does anyone know if the government has measures to help freelancers like me tide over?
