0:42
own freelance writing business. With the power of LinkedIn and freelance websites like Upwork and Fiverr, you can easily set
0:49
up a profile and start taking orders today. 2. Food Services If you have great culinary skills, a good way of earning an income is by making and
0:58
selling food. Whether it's a food truck, a cake baking business or a daily food service, there are
1:03
plenty of gaps in the market that you can fill. While competition is stiff, if you have a good product, you'll still have an opportunity
1:10
to stand out. 3. Online Teaching Since the pandemic, the demand for online teaching has increased
1:18
If you're knowledgeable in a particular field, then you could teach that subject online
1:23
But if not, there are still opportunities for you. There are plenty of overseas students who want to learn English from a native speaker
1:29
or even practice their conversational skills online. 4. Reselling of Goods If you're passionate about clothes and know where to find a bargain, then you can set

up a reselling business. You basically purchase items at a discounted price and sell them on for a profit

With this small business, you have the luxury of flexibility so that you can easily transition

2:10
All you need is a good internet service and a laptop. 6

Professional Organising Professional organising is a service that has been on the rise in recent years, but
2:20
something that few have the talent for. If you're a fan of the Home Edit and can organise as well as Clea and Joanna, then

you're in for the big bucks. You'll need to work hard to build a reputation, but once you've established yourself, the
2:32
world is your oyster. 7. Professional Cleaning If you like cleaning, then you can easily turn it into a business
2:41
With a few employees, some cleaning products and transportation, you can charge between

$25 and $50 an hour for basic cleaning of personal homes, offices or commercial properties

All you need is a bit of marketing to get your name out there. 8

Translation Services If you're fluent in two or more languages, you could consider becoming a translator and

taking on freelance projects for a handful of different businesses. Like transcription services, you can select your own hours and be as flexible as you need
3:12
to build your client base. 9. Home Care Services Many seniors need a helping hand
3:18
As a home care assistant, you can run basic errands like pharmacy and grocery shopping
3:23
or arrange repairs around the house. If you enjoy helping others, then working with senior citizens will be right up your alley. 10
