Over the last year or so, the world of business has received a colossal shake-up. It’s spelled the end for many models of business, but it’s made others viable just as quickly. This has created plenty of opportunity for forward-thinking entrepreneurs to establish themselves – provided that they have the right ideas, and the expertise and drive to make those ideas a reality.

Let’s take a look at a few of the ideas that might be worth going for in 2021.

Gardening

Lockdown prompted a boom in home gardening. With nowhere else to go to, Brits began to appreciate their own little patches of green space more than ever before. And it’s entirely possible that some of this appreciation will persist long into the future. A professional gardener is able to do things that amateurs can’t, and thus their services will always be required by time-poor professionals who want a green space they can relax in. You’ll need experience, equipment, and to be in good shape physically. Gardeners need a reliable garden strimmer, as well as a few other tools. It might be that you already own them!

Online Teaching

Under lockdown conditions, many of us have looked into self-improvement. With the help of online video instruction and tuition via videoconferencing software, online teaching is a more viable source of income than it ever has been. Whether you’re an expert in guitar, oil painting, or stock trading, there’s an opportunity for you to earn money by teaching it.

Courier

Online shopping, much like gardening, has experienced a spectacular upsurge that’s unlikely to go anywhere anytime soon. Thus, restaurants and small businesses around the country will need a means of getting their products to the front doors of their customers. You might elect to transport goods with the help of services like Deliveroo and Just Eat, or you might devise your own, better solution.

Cleaning and Tidying

Over the course of multiple lockdowns, homeowners across the country have become better acquainted with their homes than ever before. Some of them might lack the inspiration and skills to actually get the place into respectable order. If you’re a naturally organised person who takes satisfaction in creating order from chaos, then life as a professional tidier might well beckon.

Freelance Writer

With more and more text being read digitally than ever before, demand for high-quality writers is unprecedented. If you’ve got a particular field of expertise, then you might elect to start your own blog on a given subject. To get the best from this occupation, you’ll need to not only be able to write, but to understand how search engines work – but you don’t need any particular qualifications to get started.
