PEARL, Miss. — As COVID-19 puts a pause on retail and service jobs, adult boutique owner Tami Rose is recommending those affected to take up a side hustle.
With millions in isolation under 'stay-at-home' orders, Rose says that now is the time for people to be learning valuable new skills, improving their future career options and finding ways to make extra money while their regular jobs are in limbo.
Comparing Romantic Adventures’ day-to-day with her side hustle as a freelance writer, Rose said that “when I hit the door of my business, I never know which way the day is going to go: employee drama, supply chain complications and sales tax deadlines all have to be juggled — but in the quiet morning hours, the writing feels very pure and Zen.”
As she rides out the store’s momentary deceleration, Rose is focusing on her online shop. She has “improved the SEO in a completely ‘white hat,’ Google-approved way, cultivating web revenue and traffic. The adult space is very competitive, so it's nice that I have found a way through the clutter that I really enjoy doing.”
When making positive life changes, Rose adds, “there is no better time than now.”
“We are going to have quite a bit of time off in the coming weeks, and we’ve got the internet,” she said, “learning new things, pursuing long-held interests and forging a new direction, a new part-time job or possible future career has never been easier. Go get your hustle on!”
