Trying not to panic. DH lost job without warning two weeks ago - he’s well qualified in his field and will find something else, but it’s going to take time.

meanwhile, I am freelance in an industry that a) is on a downturn and b)work is erratic. I just need to bring money in, and quickly. My background is media/publishing - I’ve been looking around proofreading/copyediting roles but they seem few and far between. What can I do, ideally from home, that will be the most lucrative? Any ideas?!

Market research interviewing? Or he could?

@PaulAnkaTheDoggo - thank you for the suggestion. I'm not sure that's quite right for me....I'm wondering about about roles that involve writing/editing skills that might not be immediately obvious to me - I know about freelance work within publishing/journalism/TV etc - but there's a lot of competition and the pay is often not the best!

I'm wondering about legal or educational transcribing, for example? Does anyone have any other ideas? Thanks so much.
