It’s a great year for starting an online business. Launching your own online business allows entrepreneurial individuals such as yourself to work anywhere in the world, provided you have a laptop and internet connection.
Here are six business ideas that you may consider while you’re on the road. Here’s to making your dream of being self-employed a reality.
1. Start an eCommerce store
eCommerce websites have seen a huge jump in popularity in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Australians who are unable or unwilling to travel now shop online more than ever.
A website that is attractive and user-friendly is crucial for making your new eCommerce store a success. Today anyone can quickly launch an online store using templated and cost-effective website designs.
2. Become a virtual assistant
If you are highly organised, good at multitasking, and can pay attention to details, one of the more popular small business ideas is becoming an online virtual assistant (VA). VAs are usually responsible for administrative tasks such as data entry, customer service, and research. Some specialise in areas such as graphic design or social media management.
3. Start a bookkeeping business
You will be responsible for maintaining the financial records of clients, including creating invoices, cash flow monitoring, and financial statements. Cloud-based accounting software makes it possible for businesses to share financial information with bookkeepers from anywhere in the world.
4. Develop an online course
Consider creating an online course if you are an expert in your field. Online learning is becoming increasingly popular, and people are open to learning via different models.
Some require students to pay for a one-time download and then work at their own pace, while others allow students to learn by watching video tutorials to track their progress. You can also opt to have a scheduled online syllabus that is followed up with regular video calls.
5. Online consulting services
Online consulting is a great way to share your knowledge, skills, and experience. You can choose to specialise in one area, such as marketing or financial consulting. Or you could opt for a more specific niche, such as social media marketing or search engine optimisation (SEO).
6. Become a copywriter
A lucrative online career as a copywriter is possible if you have the required writing skills and impeccable grammar. Copywriters write content for everything, from websites and brochures to blogs, product packaging, and even products themselves. You may choose to specialise by industry, such as health or financial services. Or you might focus on one channel, such as websites, blogs, or print advertisements.
