Funnily enough it was from Amazon too

What are your particular talents? You'd have to figure out what you're capable of doing before you start looking for gigs. I'd hit Upwork and see if there's anything there that matches your skillset. On a side note, if you were laid off, you should be able to collect unemployment. Is this just to supplement the difference?

This is to supplement. No one can live off of the unemployment my state currently offers.

Are you looking for quick easy money? Or something that you can build passive income? (That comes with time and consistency)

Have you tired working on Fiverr and Upwork?

Yeah and nothing but scams coming through on those but I appreciate the suggestion!

Open your business on something you know the most

I'd normally suggest Upwork too but this happened to me two jobs ago– I turned to my circle of friends for delegated work at first, playing secretary, if you will. Started networking for future referrals.
