The coronavirus spawned a military of diary keepers, sourdough seekers, bakers, cooks, weavers, painters, gardeners and bird watchers. For many, such hobbies have been a strategy to relieve boredom and stress to provide informal days of type. Ms. Eisler is one of the professionals who turn her pandemic pastime into an income-generating company.
According to a recent poll by LendingTree, the net mortgage market, six in ten of 1,000 respondents began to care as the pandemic progressed; practically half of them made money and turned it into a multi-faceted business.
For some, it’s a reasonably respectable determination. Ms. Eisler, who named her company Just by Jeanie (a tip of the hat for her plush rabbit), mentioned that she has made $ 20,000 so far from a line of products ranging from sweatshirts to sweatpants, socks, kids’ blankets and onesies (shorts and Long sleeve fashion).
Meanwhile, Lan Ngo, a pharmacist, pays $ 3,000 to $ 4,000 a month on the gross sales of the dollhouse furniture she makes in the guest room of her apartment in Clovis, California. And Jeff Neal, a project appraiser for an industrial company, pocketed $ 2,000 a month to grow crickets, cockroaches, and various so-called food bugs, which he sells to amphibian and reptile homeowners, mostly through his website, The Critter Depot.
