Do you want to know the 4 types of digital skills that you can start an online service business with? read on…

Acquiring a skill is the bedrock of starting a service-based business online. There are not many businesses that you can start easily like a service-based or skill-based business.

Why is this so?

Because you do not need any equipment, you do not need any inventory, all you need is your skill and a place to display your service offerings, your marketing ability and you are good to go.

I love skill-based businesses because they give you the opportunity to express yourself and make money from the comfort of your home.

So, in this post, I will share with you 4 types of digital skills you can start a home business with.

This is not the digital skill that takes you months on end to learn, no. These are skills that you can learn within a month.

You can start setting up your business while you learn and as you apply what you learn you will start getting your clients.

You can say that your business will hit the ground running before you know it.

So what are these skills ?

Before we get into all that, I will like you to know the factors you need to consider when choosing skills to learn.

Factors to consider before learning different types of digital skills

1. Market trends 

This means that you are able to read the times and know what skill is in hot demand.

If you learn the skills that are in hot demand, you will have more jobs or gigs to do than you can manage.

For example, when I started my blogging business, I did not know what my income streams should be nor how to monetize my blog. 

With time, I learned that most bloggers offered freelance writing services.

When I started freelance writing, I started making money.

I was not watching the trends in my industry so I was not able to cash in on the opportunities in front of me.

2. Things that do not change but requires new ways of doing it

This means that while times change, there are certain demands that will not change.

For example, marketing products is a constant demand for businesses, the only thing that changes is how it is done. 

Therefore if you love marketing, you can learn a skill like email marketing, this will help you to offer your services to those who will be struggling with such services. 

Another example for as long there is commerce, there will be a need for shops to sell goods. 

Today selling has moved from a physical shop to online shops.

So instead of running around trying to be a wannabe real estate agent, you can build online shops for your customers.

3.Skills that require no 3rd party dependency

When deciding on the skills you want to learn, it is important to learn a skill that you can easily turn into a business. 

This means that you do not have to depend on someone to employ you before you start making money from it. 

For example, if you learn a skill that requires an organization to hire you before deploying it, you keep yourself at the mercy of rejection of applications. 

But if your skill can be packaged into a business proposal, you can put it together and market it to someone that will pay you for it.

Now that you know the factors to consider before learning different types of digital skills.

I will introduce to you 4 types of digital skills that fits these factors

1.Web design 

Web designing is helping individuals create an online platform where they can showcase their online presence.

Web designing is a skill that is in hot demand right now because the COVID19 has forced a lot of businesses that did not have an online presence to begin to seek to have one now. 

We now have a lot of those businesses looking for someone who can quickly design a simple website that will help them connect with their customers online. 

Even those who had websites before are also redesigning their websites so that they can set up a portal for selling to their customers online.

This means that if you have skills for creating and designing a website you will not find it hard to monetize that skill. 

Web designing skills have also become a skill you can learn within 1 week if you are committed to learning it. 

You can now design websites without touching any form of code. This means that with skill in website design you will always have work to do.

The good thing about website design is that you can extend your services to website management.

This means that your customers can pay you a retainer fee to help them maintain and manage the website.

Web designers charge upward of 500 dollars for creating a simple website.

2.Ecommerce 

Ecommerce is now the new way of selling online, a lot of people that cannot open their physical shops are now selling online. 

If you have a passion for selling goods, this is the time to turn your passion into an online business where you get to sell your products online. 

The most common platform for selling online is Shopify. About 1.2 million people now use the Shopify platform to sell online.

3. Copywriting 

Copywriting is the art of using your writing skills to sell a product.

It is one of the 4 types of digital skills that require an understanding of the psychology of selling for you to master it.

A lot of businesses online require the services of a copywriter who can help them to create sales pages targeted at getting their customers to buy.

Copywriters also write web copies that convert website visitors to customers.

 A good copywriter can charge up to 3000 dollars to write a great sales page.

4.Email marketing 

Emai marketing is a skill that involves using emails to sell a product or a service. It is a crucial skill that the 21st-century person needs.

Why is this so? because almost 2.65 billion email users exist in the world and nearly everyone you meet on the road has an email.

Access to that email means that you can sell to them anytime that you want.

Email marketing also helps small businesses to keep close contact with their customers

Small businesses can build their business to a big business just by using the power of email marketing.

This means that there is a requirement for small business people to hire people who have mastered the art of creating marketing campaigns that convert website visitors to customers.
