These 71 best business ideas for 2023<\/strong> will deliver the inspiration you need to start making money online<\/a>.<\/p>\n The best part?<\/p>\n I’ve included plenty of examples of people like you who are killing it with a location-independent online business.<\/p>\n Starting a profitable business is no longer just a dream lived by the few. Every day, more and more people are working to get started and turning their ideas into profitable businesses.<\/p>\n For guidance on getting started and executing your idea, check out our Online Business Checklist<\/a>.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s get started…<\/p>\n Contrary to what you might think, blogging is still one of the best online business ideas.<\/p>\n Because so many online businesses now have a blog, it\u2019s easy to forget how many businesses started as a blog<\/em>. Blogging can help you establish authority in your subject while earning money in a variety of ways.<\/p>\n If you are ready to start blogging, we’ve created an epic guide to show you how to start a blog and make money<\/a>.<\/p>\n Here are some of my favorite examples from the HTE podcast of people who turned their blogs into profitable businesses:<\/p>\n Steve Kamb of Nerd Fitness<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Michelle Green of Business of Baking<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Heather Armstrong of Dooce<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n With a well-read blog, you can create a business through advertising, affiliate marketing, or selling products.<\/p>\n When it comes to internet business ideas, a virtual assistant<\/a> business is easily scalable and always in demand.<\/p>\n Businesses always need help with administrative tasks like data entry, managing emails, and scheduling appointments. Many choose to hire VA services instead of in-house receptionists and executive assistants.<\/p>\n You can freelance through Upwork and Fiverr to get started. You can go here to sign up with Fiverr and start offering services<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can also find VA work on FlexJobs, a job aggregator site cataloging thousands of remote work opportunities.<\/p>\n FlexJobs does require you to sign up and pay a small monthly fee. However, it’s well worth the money.<\/p>\n All of the jobs are vetted and hand-selected, so you don’t have to worry about the kinds of scams you sometimes see on Upwork.<\/p>\n Plus, unlike platforms like Upwork and Fiverr, Flexjobs doesn’t take a percentage of the money you make. Everything your client pays, you get to keep.<\/p>\n You can sign up for FlexJobs here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Help people find job opportunities, write resumes, and prepare for interviews.<\/p>\n This idea will be more successful if you focus on an area of expertise or an industry where you have experience hiring (or being hired). In return, you\u2019ll get plenty of referrals and happy customers while living your remote work dream.<\/p>\n Crafters, makers, and inventors can make money by starting an online store. Thankfully, there are options that make it easy to set ecommerce business up, even if you are lacking in tech skills.<\/p>\n If you want to sell artisanal products, Etsy is a great platform<\/strong>. For everything else, there\u2019s Nexcess Store Builder.<\/p>\n You can go here to get started with your own store today.<\/a><\/p>\n Just about anything can become a successful online store.<\/p>\n Focusing on providing monthly subscription boxes for a particular niche can be very lucrative.<\/p>\n With big players like Dollar Shave Club and Bark Box, this business model has obvious potential.<\/p>\n Examples of just how niche you can get with this idea:<\/p>\n Mantry, a monthly gourmet foods subscription tailored to men<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n MistoBox, a curated and personalized coffee subscription<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Writers can create an internet business that provides copywriting and content writing services.<\/p>\n You can become a freelancer<\/a>, and find writing gigs through platforms like Upwork and Fiverr, or by networking and reaching out to potential clients.<\/p>\n You can go here to sign up with Fiverr and start writing<\/a>.<\/p>\n Selling your books on Amazon is a great way to monetize your blog, podcast, or social media channel<\/strong>. It has never been easier to self-publish a book, using Kindle Direct Publishing<\/a>.<\/p>\n You could also help other authors get published by starting an online publishing agency, like Angela Lauria at Author Incubator<\/a>.<\/p>\n When it comes to self publishing, stick to what you know well and work on becoming the authority on your subject.<\/p>\n Of all the home business ideas included in this list, editing and proofreading are great ways to get started. With so much content being published daily, there is plenty of demand.<\/p>\n You can turn it into a full-time income in a few different ways:<\/p>\n Use platforms like Upwork and Fiverr<\/a> to find clients.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Partner with a marketing or content creation agency.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Set up a website and offer a monthly service.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n If you\u2019re an accountant, you\u2019re the real superhero. Especially during tax season. You don\u2019t even need advanced software. Quickbooks works just fine in most cases, so you\u2019re cutting your startup costs significantly.<\/p>\n Depending on your credentials and experience, consider these small online business ideas:<\/p>\n A service to help small businesses transition to cloud accounting software (We use Xero)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Monthly bookkeeping services<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Individual tax return preparation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Tax consulting for individuals or business<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n If you\u2019re good with people, customer support calls, or online community engagement, this is the business idea for you.<\/p>\n With customer support consulting, you can make money with these skills while maintaining control of your own hours \u2014 and working from anywhere. <\/p>\n And with the explosion of remote work over the past few years, getting started with a customer support role is a great way to free up your time. <\/p>\n The old saying goes, “The more languages you speak, the more of a person you are.” Using Zoom, you can privately tutor people who want to learn English (or another language you know) from anywhere. You can even create passive income by teaching languages through online courses like Go Natural English.<\/p>\n Translation can be very lucrative if you are fluent in multiple languages.<\/p>\n You can help companies translate their content into different languages, reach a wider audience, or work with individuals.<\/p>\n Your first work can come from freelance sites, but once you have a few regular clients, referrals will help your business grow.<\/p>\n More and more people are turning to healthy cuisine and lifestyle, which is why the huge fitness and nutrition industry is a solid and profitable idea.<\/p>\n Here are a few ways you can make money online while helping people get healthy:<\/p>\n Sell custom meal plans (paleo, weight-loss, plant-based).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Create and sell digital products, like workout plans, e-books, or online courses.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Remote personal training service.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Health Coaching.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n To get inspired, check out this interview with Mike Matthews of Muscle for Life<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n If you want to start from home and have skills in demand, why not create and teach classes<\/strong>?<\/p>\n If you’re worried about the technical side of selling online courses<\/a>, don’t be. There are services that make it easy. For example, Podia enables us to create, upload, and sell online courses all in one platform.<\/p>\n What do you know how to do well?<\/p>\n Anything from hobbies like baking bread, teaching students how to pass the GMAT<\/a>, and professional skills like marketing can become a successful online course.<\/p>\n Give Podia a Test Run for 14 Days (for FREE)<\/p>\n Start Your Course<\/a><\/p>\n Starting a YouTube channel is the best online business to start<\/strong> when you want to build an audience, even while still working full-time.<\/p>\n Of course, with enough people watching your videos, you\u2019ll make money from advertisements on your channel. Just look at Reza Izad and Studio71<\/a>, the agency behind some of the top creators on YouTube.<\/p>\n But you can also use your channel as a launching pad for a full-scale online business. As your audience grows, you can make money through affiliate marketing, sponsorships, branded merch, or selling books and courses.<\/p>\n Listen to the HTE Podcast!<\/p>\n Just like a blog or YouTube channel, a podcast can be a great way to get your voice out there and build a following. All you need is some gear and interesting topics to talk about.<\/p>\n Not sure where to start? Here’s our definitive guide on how to start a podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can make money with sponsorships or build a business around products and services your audience needs.<\/p>\n Podcasting is a competitive and rewarding space if you can find a gap in the marketplace and find your audience. To do that, you need to position your podcast to succeed.<\/p>\n A podcast\u2019s positioning is the place a show occupies in the minds of your target audience. It\u2019s all about how your podcast differs from others within your niche.<\/p>\n Positioning can involve almost every element of your show, including the name, format, music, and language style. It also affects every decision you make about the content surrounding and supporting the show, like your website and artwork.<\/p>\n Here’s the exact process to nail your podcast positioning …<\/p>\n Help others succeed while you start your small business ideas\u2014 consulting as an expert in your field.<\/p>\n To get started, you can charge for services like on-demand consulting calls<\/a>, while you work towards recurring revenue with long-term consulting clients.<\/p>\n Check out our SEO consulting<\/a> page.<\/p>\n People are always looking for fresh resources, and many are willing to pay for premium access.<\/p>\n If you like producing content and have the knowledge to share, a great online business model<\/a> can be to start a membership site. Your site can contain a library of valuable content, and a forum for members to learn from you and each other.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t need to hire developers or learn how to code. In fact, you don\u2019t even need a website. Showrunner Community uses Podia to process memberships, share content, and host a robust members forum.<\/p>\n You can get started with Podia here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The best part of this business model is monthly recurring revenue, that grows with every new member.<\/p>\n Dropshipping is a form of e-commerce in which you don\u2019t have to deal with any physical products. That\u2019s right \u2014 no manufacturing, storing inventory, packaging, or shipping.<\/p>\n To start a dropshipping business, partner with a manufacturer or wholesaler of products in your niche. You make sales through your online store and pass orders on to the manufacturer for fulfillment.<\/p>\n All you have to do is set up an online shop and work on attracting customers.<\/p>\n Does dropshipping sound intriguing?<\/strong> Check out this fantastic guide to dropshipping<\/a> by my friends at Dropship Breakthru.<\/p>\n Affiliate marketing is a very simple online business idea: someone needs their products advertised, and you\u2019ll do it \u2013 for a cut of the profits.<\/p>\n If you already have an audience through a blog, podcast, or social media channel, affiliate marketing is an easy monetization strategy to try. Remember to pitch products you trust so you can feel good about recommending them.<\/p>\n If you can learn how to write a product review<\/a> that converts, the earning potential can be sky-high.<\/p>\n Amazon\u2019s affiliate marketing program<\/a> is one of the biggest for physical products, and ShareASale for digital products. (You can sign up with ShareASale here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Check out this guide to learn more about affiliate marketing<\/a>.<\/p>\n Speaking of good businesses, Amazon FBA<\/a> lets you sell customized products without having to take care of storage or shipping.<\/p>\n FBA means \u201cFulfilled by Amazon\u201d because Amazon handles fulfillment. But unlike a dropshipping business, you have to invest in inventory upfront.<\/p>\n Manufacturers will customize and package a product with your private label branding. The inventory is then shipped to an Amazon warehouse for storage and order processing.<\/p>\n You can learn more about selling on Amazon<\/a> from Greg Mercer of Jungle Scout.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re creative, what better way to show it than by starting an online business selling your artwork on merch like t-shirts and tote bags?<\/p>\n If you want to keep it simple and just stick to design, there are many options. You can use Merch by Amazon,<\/a> Teespring<\/a>, and Society6<\/a> to name a few. They do all the printing and order processing, and you get paid when someone orders one of your designs.<\/p>\n A productized service can earn monthly recurring revenue or flat-rate packages instead of continually chasing after clients. If you can provide a service online, you can productize it.<\/p>\n Pro tip: there is a huge demand for effective lead magnets<\/a>. This is a great opportunity for someone with some hustle to start a productized business, creating lead magnets for bloggers and businesses.<\/p>\n This online business model is scalable because you can hire out some of your workloads as you grow the business.

If you\u2019re skilled at advertising and know your way around bids and CPA, your business idea is in demand.<\/p>\n To get your first clients, start with local businesses that want to test the online marketing waters.<\/p>\n You can also learn from these marketing experts who have found success helping small business owners with ad campaigns and sales funnels:<\/p>\n Filling Your Funnel with Facebook | Tamara Baranova<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Action Before Clarity | Kamila Gornia<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n There\u2019s no content marketing without social media marketing. If you\u2019re good at creating content and engaging with audiences in social media, you have a perfect online business idea.<\/p>\n Social media marketing is a perfect business for scaling. You can use CoSchedule to handle multiple<\/a> social media manager accounts<\/a> for multiple clients and campaigns as you grow your online business.<\/p>\n And tools like Combin can help you grow Instagram audiences faster for your clients.<\/p>\n Digital marketing is a catch-all term for everything about creating a presence and making sales online. It could include creating websites, email marketing<\/a>, SEO, and copywriting.<\/p>\n Of course, it\u2019s very much in demand. If you already do this work for your employer, you could run your own online business.<\/p>\n This is exactly what we do over at Digital Commerce Partners<\/a>.<\/p>\n Stock photography is used all over the internet and in print, as an affordable way for publishers to find high-quality images.<\/p>\n If you love taking photos \u2013 you may have just found your business idea. There are a few stock photography services you can try. For example, you can submit work to Adobe Stock<\/a>, and earn a commission from each sale (or get paid per picture).<\/p>\n Admittedly, you have to leave your computer to take photos. But this business can work from anywhere in the world, on your own schedule.<\/p>\n If you write music and you\u2019ve been told, \u201cHey, I think I heard that on the radio,\u201d why not take it seriously and start a business?<\/p>\n Writing for film and tv can be a perfect online business for musicians \u2014 and it\u2019s easier than ever to get your music out there. For example, TuneCore helps songwriters sell rights to their music for use in advertising, film, and tv.<\/p>\n TuneCore also helps songwriters get published and distributed<\/a> without a record deal. And they take care of collecting and distributing royalties. That means you\u2019ll get paid every time someone streams or purchases one of your songs through a digital platform like Spotify or Apple Music.<\/p>\n Videos are marketing engagement boosters, so there is a huge demand for that aspect of content creation. Online video production is also great if you\u2019re combining it with social media management.<\/p>\n Stanley Meytin, founder of True Film Productions<\/a>, can tell you more about his experience producing videos for businesses and brands all over the world.<\/p>\n If you know your way around editing software, monetize it and start an online business that\u2019ll help everyone\u2019s music or videos shine.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll find gigs for editing podcasts, audio tracks for video, mixing and mastering music, and more on freelance sites. Your first jobs will help you build up a portfolio and land regular clients.<\/p>\n Graphic design is always in demand if you\u2019ve got an eye for details. By displaying an awesome portfolio, you can easily start your graphic and web design side business with freelancer platforms like Upwork, Fiverr or PeoplePerHour.<\/p>\n First, you need to get your work in front of potential clients, and Instagram is a great place to get started. <\/p>\n Why not create motivational quotes or easily shareable images and land your first client this weekend?<\/p>\n If you want to invest in other online business ideas, that are already profitable, why not buy one? You can build it up and flip it when you\u2019ve increased its value.<\/p>\n Check out this interview with Empire Flippers founder, Justin Cooke<\/a>, to learn just how lucrative this can be.<\/p>\n Similarly to buying and flipping websites, you can turn a profit by buying and flipping domains.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a simple trade: acquire a domain at a lower cost and sell it to someone who becomes interested for a profit.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a reason why cryptocurrency is so popular as of late \u2013 there\u2019s a lot of money to be made. If you\u2019re a risk-taker and have a starting capital, try your hand at cryptocurrency trading.<\/p>\n Since it\u2019s such a volatile market, you can make money day trading as long as you can handle the risks.<\/p>\n Starting an online business focused on cryptocurrency mining or just setting up mining rigs can be very lucrative. If you know your basic mining from cloud mining, you may just have a great online business idea!<\/p>\n If you\u2019re an app developer, look no further. There is an almost unlimited market for new mobile applications.<\/p>\n There are a few ways to approach starting an ecommerce site using online business building apps:<\/p>\n Build and market your own app ideas.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Partner with people who can bring ideas and marketing skills.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Developing apps on a contract basis for other businesses.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n A good website goes a long way, and so do the people that create them.<\/p>\n If you know how to create a website from scratch and customize it clients\u2019 requirements, you\u2019re all set! And you have no excuse not to have your own killer website to market your services.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re wondering what business business to start<\/a>, take a look at WordPress plugins. They\u2019re absolutely essential for WordPress websites, so if you know how to create them, you\u2019ve got your business idea.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a scalable business model since the software can be licensed to many WordPress users.<\/p>\n If you have an idea that would make using WordPress easier, or add a cool functionality, get to work building it or partner with a developer.<\/p>\n WordPress uses themes to set the design and style of the website. Every WordPress site needs a theme, and it\u2019s the most popular CMS out there. So you can see the potential in this online business idea.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re a developer, you can create passive income building custom themes. For example, Thrive Themes sells themes specifically designed for conversion<\/a>.<\/p>\n In addition to the app development side, website maintenance is a big factor in running an online business. Most people have no idea how to handle backups, security, server issues, or necessary updates on their websites.<\/p>\n For those with experience keeping websites working properly, website maintenance is a logical idea for an online business.<\/p>\n This service works really well as a productized service to generate recurring monthly income.<\/p>\n SaaS (Software as a Service) is a very popular option, for good reason. It generates monthly recurring revenue as opposed to a one-time license fee.<\/p>\n If the market needs your software idea, get to work building it \u2014 or partner with a developer who can. Use a subscription model to turn it into a scalable business.<\/p>\n Listen to these interviews with SaaS founders to get inspired:<\/p>\n Aytekin Tank of JotForm<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Syed Balkhi<\/a>, creator of List25, OptinMonster, SoliloquyWP, ThemeLab, and more. (You can get OptinMonster here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n There\u2019s a big market for peer-to-peer lending, but it requires initial capital and risk tolerance. For example, Lending Club is a marketplace that connects borrowers with individual investors hoping to make competitive returns.<\/p>\n This can be a good way to earn on an interest rate if you are looking for diverse investment ideas for your online business.<\/p>\n If you want to make an investment your business\u2019 main area of work, real estate can be an attractive niche. But owning real estate is not exactly a hands-off business idea.<\/p>\n Real estate crowdfunding enables you to invest in real estate through online platforms, without the responsibility of directly owning property.<\/p>\n Every software, website, and tech product needs to be tested for faults or bugs. This is where your business can come in: test other\u2019s software, find bugs, report on usability, and get paid.<\/p>\n There are crowd-testing platforms where you can apply to be a tester, including uTest<\/a> and Testbirds<\/a>. There\u2019s also potential in creating your own platform or service business to perform quality control and testing.<\/p>\n Many customer support teams are fully virtual since it can often be done by email and chat. If you work in tech support or customer service, why not go freelance and start a tech support business?<\/p>\n This is a very scalable online business idea. You can add to your team as the workload increases and you get more clients.<\/p>\n A lot of companies want to automate their processes, but they don\u2019t know how.<\/p>\n For example, if you know how to integrate CRM software like HubSpot, you can help small businesses transition their contacts online.<\/p>\n (You can sign up with Hubpot here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n This business idea is perfect as a productized service model. You can create fixed-price packages to migrate small businesses to cloud-based platforms for their accounting, sales, or contact management systems.<\/p>\n Niche websites target a very specific topic. They\u2019re a great way of earning revenue because the traffic they attract is so targeted. You can monetize by selling information products, e-commerce, or affiliate marketing.<\/p>\n You can make it your online business\u2019 main field of work by building and selling niche sites once they generate high monthly traffic.<\/p>\n Transcription is an easy way to start a remote business. Plenty of gigs on freelance sites help you gain experience and reviews.<\/p>\n All you need is a computer and decent English language skills. With the rise of video-to-text content, you\u2019ll have plenty of clients to get you started.<\/p>\n Eventually, you can scale this business by hiring other transcriptionists so you can focus on getting clients.<\/p>\n There are no sales without leads. Bringing people in the door (or into the online sales process) is essential to any business.<\/p>\n Any effective lead-generation marketing strategy could be turned into a successful venture. If you\u2019ve been successful with LinkedIn, Facebook, or Google ads, you could easily find clients to work with.<\/p>\n Direct selling is a lost art and one that can bring companies a lot of extra revenue.<\/p>\n Many companies no longer employ in-house sales teams. Instead, they put interesting leads in contact with commission-based salespeople to close deals.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re skilled at sales, start there. You could also take your expertise into a consulting profitable venture, like Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion<\/a>.<\/p>\n Advertising creatives are always in demand \u2014 everyone hopes their ads will go viral and get attention.<\/p>\n With a creative mind and some marketing chops, you can create a profitable digital agency. Whether your expertise is digital, print, podcast, or video a digital ad agency gives you the ability to work from anywhere.<\/p>\n It\u2019s easier than ever for artists to make money online. Advertisers, content creators, and all sorts of publishers look to the internet to find the original artwork they need.<\/p>\n To get started, you can find commissioned work on freelance sites. As you build up a portfolio, you can create a full-fledged web development business by showcasing your work on your own website.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got experience in HR, online recruiting can be the best business idea for you.<\/p>\n Helping businesses find and hire stellar employees is a valuable service. Specialize in industries where you have previously worked to leverage your network.<\/p>\n Maybe you have ideas about how the hiring process in your industry could be improved, like Perry Oostdam. He created Recruitee as a platform to help businesses collaborate on hiring and onboarding<\/a> new team members.<\/p>\n There\u2019s never been more content online, and it takes an expert to research it successfully. Some people will complain about the glut of content online, but someone with an entrepreneurial mindset<\/a> will see this as an opportunity — where there are problems, there are opportunities.<\/p>\n Depending on your interest and knowledge, here are some online research business ideas to consider:<\/p>\n Market research, specializing in your industry.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Private Investigator Research<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Academic research for writers and publishers<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Research for digital content creators<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n If you\u2019re the kind of person whose intellectual algorithms work better than Skyscanner\u2019s, start a travel consultancy business.<\/p>\n This one works well if you specialize in a particular niche. That way, you can establish your authority as an expert in a certain region, or a specific type of travel.<\/p>\n For example, Boutique Japan specializes in creating personalized itineraries<\/a> for those who want a unique trip.<\/p>\n Crowdfunding has become a very popular means of financing projects. But with so many ideas fighting for attention on platforms like Indiegogo and Kickstarter, success is far from guaranteed.<\/p>\n Startups need advice on how to launch a successful crowdfunding campaign. This is where you come in — as a digital consultant<\/a> specializing in crowdfunding campaigns.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve been instrumental in crowdfunding projects in the past, you can leverage your knowledge with a consultancy business. In fact, Indiegogo has a list of recommended advisors<\/a>, so you can be sure there is a demand for this service.<\/p>\n Sometimes we all need just a bit more help. Who do we turn to? Life coaches.<\/p>\n If you can help with happiness, career fulfillment, relationships, or financial success, you will never run out of people who need your help.<\/p>\n You can expand your reach beyond your immediate area by using life coaching as an online business model<\/a>. Instead of working only with local clients, you can work from anywhere, help more people, and increase your earning potential.<\/p>\n Check out this interview with Stephynie Malik, who helps high-achieving executives unlock their full potential with her coaching business, ChiqueSpeak<\/a>.<\/p>\n Similarly to life coaching, business coaching means working with business owners to help them achieve growth and success.<\/p>\n This can be a very lucrative online business idea. In fact, I\u2019ve lost count of how many entrepreneurs I\u2019ve interviewed who are currently working full-time with a business coach.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re a good communicator with past successes in your industry, consider offering your services as a business coach.<\/p>\n We all just want a chance at true love, which sometimes means work. People who are too busy or don\u2019t know where to start turn to dating coaches for help.<\/p>\n Dating coaches help people put their best foot forward, find a match, and work through the ups and downs of dating. You can make money online as a dating coach in a few different ways:<\/p>\n Coaching services<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Creating effective profiles for dating sites<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Blogging<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Writing books<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Creating online courses<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Can you really make money playing video games? If you\u2019re a high-level player and you can put some time into marketing your own business side, then yes.<\/p>\n This article on Gamefly is a good primer on how advanced players can monetize their gaming skills<\/a> through streaming, educational videos, or selling items within a gaming platform.<\/p>\n The personal finance industry is changing with the availability of online investment tools like Wealthsimple.<\/p>\n People still need advice on saving for retirement and making big financial decisions. But financial advisors don\u2019t need to work for big investment firms to create a financial planning business.<\/p>\n For a fee, qualified individuals can provide this needed advice, as independent financial advisors \u2014 and can work remotely much of the time.<\/p>\n Diana Dyer founded Triumph Capital<\/a> to help millennials with their financial planning and investment needs.<\/p>\n Every video needs a voiceover, and so do ads. Between independent production companies, ad agencies, and YouTubers, you can find a huge variety of voice-acting gigs on freelance sites.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a distinctive voice, start providing voiceover services.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t need a fancy recording studio. With a decent microphone and basic sound editing skills, you can produce high-quality recordings.<\/p>\n Interior designers can start a fully virtual business using photographs and simulation tools.
