Personal Shopper/Errand Runner for Quarantine

There are at-risk people who should not be going to grocery stores. And while
there are some services across the country like Instacart, there’s room to
create a business that has a more personal touch. Less tech-savvy
customers, and even tech-savvy customers, want to talk to a real person, and
go through their shopping list and pharmacy pickup list with specifics about
items they need. Some of the potential target market could also turn into a
long-standing customer, post quarantine. 

Strategic Advisor/Accountant/bookkeeper

Businesses still need to keep their books, even when business is slow. More
than ever, businesses need smart accountants that can also be strategic
advisors. Start your business with a focus on not just getting the books and
taxes done, but helping configure financials and financial reporting so that
your clients run better businesses, survive this crisis, and are ready to thrive.

Virtual Assistant

Everyone working for home, while quarantined, is dealing with A LOT. If they
have school-aged kids, they are trying to work from home while also keeping
kids on track with online schooling, or just flat out trying to homeschool kids.
Offering virtual assistant services in a  cost-effective way to organize and help
the busy executive who just got busier and could give you a business that
grows quickly, and also survives once life has returned to some kind of
normalcy. 

Virtual Tutoring Service

All of a sudden pretty much every kid in America, and across many countries,
is home. Schools are trying their best to teach kids and adjust, but many kids
need more, and some of those kids have parents who will pay for more. You
will have to pull together a stable of tutors that have credibility, as well as a full
virtual game plan.

Do you have a skill you can teach? If you have expertise in a subject matter
now is the time to think about turning that expertise into online courses and or
online coaching. Maybe you are a photoshop wiz or can teach people how to
put together effective PowerPoint presentations, or how to improve their
speaking skills. 

Maybe you understand search engine optimization (SEO) and can teach
businesses how to maximize their online exposure. The key here is to
translate your skills into a packaged or live online course, or online coaching,
and then market them online to your network. Use an online learning
management system (LMS) and create an online course to offer your skills.
