2022 is the third year of the pandemic. Under the impact of the pandemic, job hunting has become even more difficult. Plus, online stores have low costs and high efficiency, quickly becoming a major shopping trend in recent years. Many people want to try starting their own business as a boss. Online business has become diverse, and even online store tutorials can become an online business. What business ideas can help you stand out during the pandemic?
Business Idea 1. Online Teaching
Many Hong Kong or foreign students are accustomed to using online tutoring platforms. There are many online tutoring courses, and class times and locations have no geographical boundaries, allowing students to choose courses based on their learning needs from the comfort of their homes. Driven by the pandemic, the types of online teaching have also become increasingly diverse, such as: yoga teaching, cooking teaching, online store teaching, etc.
You can use your own talents as a business idea, and open classes in an online store with an event booking system. Provide self-introductions, past student cases, fees, and other information to attract customers and build a professional image. Currently, various online learning platforms offer online courses, conducted through pre-recorded or video formats using Skype or Zoom. Write blogs, Facebook, Instagram posts, and other articles providing useful learning tips and tricks.
Business Idea 2. Selling Photos
If you love photography, then selling photos would be a great business idea. Currently, popular photo platforms include Shutterstock, iStockPhoto, Unsplash, etc. You can submit and sell your captured images. Whenever a user downloads your image, you can earn money based on the number of downloads, achieving easy online entrepreneurship.
Additionally, you can also publish photos on your own online store and create various photo purchase packages. You can even provide photography services for customers to pay on your website, so income doesn't need to be split with photo platforms - it goes directly into your pocket.
Business Idea 3. KOL (Key Opinion Leader)
A KOL (Key Opinion Leader) usually focuses on one category (parenting, beauty, fashion, cooking, etc.) and is active on social platforms like Instagram, YouTube, Facebook. More followers means greater influence, making it easier to get business opportunities. Each post can earn HK$500 to HK$1000 or more, depending on your number of followers. Of course, it also needs to match the brand's characteristics and the KOL's traits! In addition, many KOLs will establish their own online business after becoming famous, using their fame for promotion - which is also a great online entrepreneurship path!
