There are a number of businesses you can start post-pandemic and earn heftily from. A friend who just started her academic writing business when asked me if she can take my course and in return, I will have to give her a review, I was amazed. I was surprised how she found such an amazing way to earn passive money alongside her studies and a full-time job. Now I am planning to find an opportunity too to earn some money and save them for my trip to the Maldives. If you have such plans too, here is a list of some ideas that you can pursue.
Print-on-demand Goods
It is a business that is witnessing a surge all over the world. If you know the art of printing and can do it on your own, that is amazing. However, if you cannot, outsourcing is an option too. Many people worldwide are doing dropshipping business when it comes to print-on-demand work. Most of these people have no inventory. In this business, what you do is find a brand, market their products on your business page and once you land an order, place your order with the same brand. This is how you save the cost of shipping. The main brand that you will place the order to will deliver the good directly to your client and receive their share of the sale.
Over the last few years, many people have jumped into this business but we can see outstanding sales in print-on-demand groups. New trends, tik-toks, and Facebook have all become a marketplace and you can choose wherever most of the target audience is from.
Freelance Content Writing
Content writing is an amazing career for English natives. Without putting in extra effort, they can earn passively through creative writing. If you are planning to go with this work, you can either offer your services to any marketing company or work freelance. Since we are talking about business, I’ll be very clear that you can earn at least 5x more in freelancing. The companies you will offer your services to will definitely take their share as well and we know companies only pay 30-40% of the rates, the rest they save. If you think you have a knack for creative writing and you can draw your audience’s attention to your content, don’t give it a second thought. Not everyone has this talent, and if you have it start planning on how to monetize it.
Learn a few technicalities online and begin your career. There are platforms where you can build your profile and target leads. However, they will need optimization. Some common creative writing orders that freelancers receive are:
- Blog posts
- Press releases
- Website content
- Affiliated articles
- eBooks
E-Commerce Business
Similar to dropshipping, E-commerce is also witnessing a massive surge. During the covid times when brick-and-mortar businesses had to see a complete shutdown, E-commerce helped them sail. It is just an online store for your physical store where you can add your items and show your products to the world without traveling to different places. Some common examples infront of you are Amazon, eBay, Walmart, etc. What are they doing? They are platforms helping people improve their sales through online work. This online work is e-commerce. Where you can connect with your potential clients without them coming to your store.
Offer Pet-Care Services
I wanted to write child care services here but I have seen many people already offering this. The elderly women who retire from their job are more into this business, so the competition is tough. Therefore, let’s try pet-care services because why not. If you have your own pet who loves socializing and is happy to welcome new pets to your home, you can definitely consider this business. Many people today are considering planning a trip abroad but are concerned about their little doggos. For such people, you are no less than a lifesaver. A few people are already into this business but their services are not too good. Also, the market is not saturated, so if you are offering notable and reliable service, you can definitely earn your name and make it your own industry.
Sell Your Arts And Craft
No matter what decade and what year, arts and crafts are always appreciated. If you have some talent like pottery making, stitching beautiful clothes, sketching, sculpturing, try selling them. I have a friend who had just started making mandala paintings and got crazy orders. She actually earned such a good amount of money that she bought some professional tools that are very expensive in just a few weeks. I had a discussion with her and she legit told me that she was not expecting this response. This story is of the early pandemic but guess what? Since the pandemic is over now, she is actually working on making her own studio, where she will teach young women the art of mandala painting. Impressive, no?
Home-Based Bakery
Now I won’t lie, this is a business I am interested in. If you can bake amazing cakes and cookies, I swear this is your true call. Though I am a professional digital marketer, I am planning to resign, and pursue my passion. The amazing cakes, bread, buns, cookies, etc. you bake deserve appreciation, and what’s better than earning money and appreciation both at the same time? However, to introduce your taste to people, you will have to keep the price low for some time but it will be worth it!
Invest In A Beauty Parlor
Women who know how to do brows, waxing, and cutting hair can go for this option. Investing in this business will be your best decision. We know a few girls working as beauticians and they are earning a good amount. It is undoubtedly one of the most lucrative business options.
Conclusion
If you are planning to pursue your career as an academic writer, many students will reach out to you and ask to please take my course. Same as this, your prospect audience will reach your business themselves. All these are small businesses, so don’t put a lot of effort into marketing. We hope soon find your true call soon. Best of luck! ☺
