Ideas to make money during a pandemic

1.Virtual Project Management

With the present workplace relocated to the home, a lot of companies need to keep in touch with members of their team through virtual teams.

Most companies will need to help to manage virtual teams in different remote locations. If you have skills in how to manage projects remotely you are in business.

Having skills that have to do with various online project management tools like Asana, Trello, Zoho, Zoom, Jira, etc will be something you can monetize during this season.

While the lockdown and pandemic lasts this skill will continue to be in demand.

Even at the end of the pandemic, companies will need training and knowledge impartation on how to manage virtual teams.

The COVID-19 has proven that as a business you cannot afford not to have an online business strategy.

2. Ecommerce

I have written a lot on how to start an online shop, If you are a follower of my blog you should know by now that I have a partial bias for ecommerce shops.

I have often said that the best and easiest way for you to explore your passion for buying and selling is via an ecommerce shop.

Today I have been proven right.

A lot of ecommerce shops that sell essential goods will be sold out right now as the online business world booms.

There are many places you can sell online, you can either sell on standalone ecommerce shops like

Shopify

Wix

Bigcommerce

Or you can sell on online market places like Amazon, Bonanza, and Etsy. There are major differences between the two options.

If you are ready to start your ecommerce shop today, sign up with Shopify, the most popular and customer friendly online shop platform there is.

For just 29 dollars a month, you can have your online shop set up and ready to go.

If you don’t have the patience to learn to set it up, I can set it for you.

There are two ways to make money when it comes to ecommerce, you can run an ecommerce shop yourself or you can set it up and manage it for someone else.

The first option allows you to own your business, while the second option allows you to offer ecommerce services to an online shop owner.

Either way you do it, making money from ecommerce is a sure way to beat the lockdown and the economic downturn that follows it.

It is also one of those ideas to make money that will continue to boom for a long time to come.

3.Web Design and Management

Web design and management is a skill that will be in high demand right now.

How do I know it is one of those ideas to make money?

Because a lot of companies will be rebranding and repositioning their websites in order to attract customers online.

For some that had websites that were not interactive, this COVID-19 will push them to make serious changes to how they connect with their customers.

I was once shopping for something online, each time I got to where I wanted to make a purchase, I would be asked to drop my email and wait for a quote.

I said these people are not ready to do business. Before they finish preparing their quote and sending it, I have made a choice or moved on

So many online websites are like that, they are not designed to get the customer to make a purchase, hence they lose out on all their customers

I later purchased what I was shopping for from someone who was ready to let me pay immediately.

So many businesses that were not prepared to do business online will now be looking to re-strategize their online presence to make money.

You can guess they will be seeking for someone to help them redesign their website.

This is where anyone who has such skills will be contacted to help out, this skill represents a serious moneymaker for the times we are in now.

If you know how to design a website using WordPress, you will be in demand as a lot of people trust the WordPress content management system. WordPress skills are in hot demand now.

Seeing the dire need for these skills, I have created a course that teaches you how to start an online business building websites for small businesses.

This course consists of a 4-in-1 course that teaches you how to build websites using WordPress and Wix, and how to build ecommerce shops.

It wraps it up by teaching you how to attract your customers using email marketing techniques that work.

6.Printables Creation.

This year when I was praying for my business, I was impressed in my heart that this will be the year for printables.

I did not understand what the Lord meant, but one thing I knew was that God gave me a seed to help me understand what he was saying.

I was reading Lena Gotts’s (of whatmommydoes) email yesterday and she was saying her printables products were flying off the shelves, she was making enough from her printables sales to pay down her mortgage.

This is because a lot of people who are home now are turning to printables products to help them get through the day.

If you have not started your printables business I wonder what you are waiting for.

It was because of you that I launched the Newbie Printables Business course earlier in January.

God knew what was to come and impressed on me to get it out the door.

The Newbie Printables Business Course is now the number one on Google’s first page when you type the word printables course

This is to show you how Google values the information I have to offer.

Here is a screen shot of my course page.

If you ask me how this was possible, I will only tell you it is by direction of the Holy Spirit.

When I nearly gave up on this course, the Lord encouraged me. Today we are on the first page of Google.

This is so awesome because it means that out of all the courses on Printables out there, my course is considered the best course with the most information on making and selling Printables.
