When factoring the impact of rising consumer costs, average hourly earnings declined by as much as three percent in September, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

For seniors, Social Security benefits are set to undergo the fourth-largest cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) rise in January 2023, since automatic inflation increases were introduced nearly 50 years ago. The 8.7 percent boost will increase checks by an average of $146.

While no one knows how long this financial crunch will last, there are steps you can take to supplement your income and give you and your family more financial flexibility. 

Supplement your income with flexible gig work

If you’re looking for ways to supplement your income, you can use your conversational skills and tech-savvy knowledge to provide remote customer service on the Arise® Platform.

Once you register, you’ll be a few weeks away from earning money from the convenience of your own home, choosing your own hours and working when it best suits you and your current schedule. You can use the platform to make money year-round. At the same time, you’ll enjoy supplemental income for as long as you decide to work. 

Work and earn as much as you want

When you work in a conventional role, you can be limited by how much you can earn. In times of inflation, that can create a tricky situation. You’re working the same amount, but your pay hasn’t gone up, and your dollars don’t go as far. That’s not an issue when you use the Arise® Platform.

There are so many exciting client programs on the platform right now, so you’ll never have to worry about running out of work. Even better, the range of opportunities ensures you’ll always have a say in when and how you want to work. If one client program’s schedule doesn’t work for you, sign up for a different one that does. 

Plus, if you have the ability to work more, then you’ll be able to earn more, too!

Be the boss of your future

Many experts agree that inflation rates will likely stick around for the next few years. While no one has a crystal ball to predict the end of this inflationary season, it’s safe to assume prices will remain high for a while.

Take the future into your own hands by getting started on the Arise® Platform. It’s a convenient and flexible way to earn money on your own terms, allowing you to supplement your income when you see fit.

Naturally, you’re excited to enjoy time with your loved ones. Maybe you have a trip planned or a few parties penciled in on your calendar. But it’s hard not to feel anxious, too. 

Avoid seasonal stress

It’s normal to experience financial stress during the holidays. You may be concerned with paying all your monthly bills while budgeting for gifts, seasonal activities, and other one-off expenses, like travel and winter preparedness. Then add inflation, which is at an all-time high, and you may feel like the greeting cards are stacked against you!

Take comfort in knowing you’re not alone: According to a study by the American Psychological Association, 65 percent of respondents said money is a “significant source of stress.” That’s why one in eight workers is actively seeking seasonal work opportunities to help manage surging costs and expenses. 

If you’re among those looking to supplement for the season, consider the Arise® Platform, where you can make extra money on your own terms. No need to spend time away from your loved ones to work in retail or drive for rideshare companies. 

Make extra money during the holidays and beyond with seasonal remote work

Your dream scenario for seasonal work may look something like this: 

• Work from home 
• Flexible, work on your own time
• Freedom to choose who you work with
• Ability to design your own schedule, from working in the morning, during the day, or late in the evening

With more opportunities than ever, now is the perfect time to sign up to use the Arise® Platform to earn extra income for the holidays. 

What’s more, there is a selection of seasonal client opportunities available during the holiday season, including with the nation’s largest sporting goods retailer, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and cruise line industry leader, Carnival Cruise Lines. Both of these opportunities allow you to work with freedom and flexibility as you offer your services in remote customer service. Servicing hours are available 7 days a week, from morning to midnight, with a quick certification class. In other words, you can start earning in as little as 3 weeks!

Once the holidays are over, the Arise® Platform makes a great side gig. When the Dick’s Sporting Goods program ends, you can immediately sign up for a new program with a different client opportunity. 

And the greatest gift of all? You’re in control of when and how much you want to work — all from the comfort of your home. Whether you want to provide customer service daily or choose to service a client a few days a week, the choice is yours. The more you work, the more you’ll earn!  

Sit by the fire, throw on some holiday tunes, and get to work! Check out our newest client opportunities and start earning extra money now.
