Become A Photographer
Thanks to technology and new business models, photography has evolved and is not tied to event photography only.
Event photography such as wedding photography or corporate photography will definitely require a level of professionalism. But if you are not at that level and you can only handle a phone’s camera (iPhone 11 or 11 Pro) you’re good to go for what I will share with you.
Like I said a few lines before, because there are nowadays new business models, there a new demands in the world of photography.
For example, today there are web designers, bloggers and graphic designers that need good quality photos to use in their day-to-day work.
When designing a new website, web designers need high-quality photos to insert in their projects for them to showcase in their portfolio. Let’s say a web designer is working on a new site for a coffee shop. He/she will need coffee related photos to place into his design so that his work is displayed professionally, either on his/her portfolio or to the client.
That’s where stock photos come into play. Websites like Shutterstock, Depositphotos, Bigstockphoto are all stock photo websites that allow photographers to upload their high-quality photos.
They are huge marketplaces where people turn to for the purchase of their stock photos for their projects.
Take Cake or Food Orders
If you know how to cook or prepare delicious food, you can start this small venture from home and make money easily.
You must have either a Facebook or Instagram account to just showcase what you have to offer.
Start small and try to offer snacks in the first place. Take orders from family and friends first and see how you handle it.
If you have experience in baking, you can also start a little bakery at home and take a few cake orders for birthday parties or other events you feel confident enough to work with.
Create Hand-Made Items
Designing and bringing to life hand made products is also among the most profitable creative home-based business ideas you can use to generate money online from home.
There are tons of handmade items in this world you can choose from.
People nowadays are drawn to personalized handmade items.
Open an Esty Shop
Have you ever thought how Etsy has become so popular in a little span of time. Etsy is the dominating platform for independent sellers from around the world, creating and selling their own stuff.
Etsy is known for handmade and customized products.
A few weeks ago, I made this amazing discovery of how lucrative a sticker business is on Etsy.
I asked myself, how in the world some sellers are making a six figure business selling stickers, planners or cartoonish items. Well, if that is what’s working, you better give it a try!
Start A Blog
Blogging is probably one of the most profitable and creative home-based business you can start in 2020.
