An interior designer is someone who plans, researches, coordinates, and manages such enhancement projects. I am pretty sure you have noticed several people making a decent profit from this profession. In an online viewpoint a customer may send you a 360 degree picture of their interior environment , or even several pictures showing the different interior faces of the environment. You after use Photoshop to edit the environment to their liking and later managing the process of evaluating the completion of the project.

4.Online Electronics repair services


Electronics repair technicians can troubleshoot a piece of malfunctioning equipment and repair it. They can also test and maintain equipment to keep it from breaking down at all. Now for the online version of this. You can create a website that acts as your market. This would entail you just getting a website which every business already needs. Customers would then go through a process of listing the issues with their malfunctioning electronic/s, and sending them to you via a courier , you fix it and send it back. Simple as that. This would come with issues such as people being sceptical however you can push through this by providing a quality service.

5.Social media consultancy


The growth of social media has resulted in it becoming a part of our daily lives. One way or another you are using it or effected by it. Seemingly everyone has an account and people have always wanted to be popular. This has resulted in an industry that revolves around growing the social following of corporate brands and personal brands. A social media consultant is an individual who specialises in social media strategy and planning. This business is already mainly online and does not require any online workarounds. 


6.Online Tutoring services


A tutor is a private teacher, typically who teaches a single pupil or a very small group. Thanks to the internet this can easily be done online with platforms like Microsoft teams, Skype , Google Classroom and others. This can be especially profitable with teenagers who need different methods of learning. 

7.Grocery delivery services


A service like this is getting profitable mainly because people are lazy to go to the store. The human brain also prefers convenience , which you would be providing for them. You can do this via apps whereby you pay a commission. 

8.Gardening and lawn care


One of the oldest professions on this list. Ever wish you could get your garden or lawn taken care of easily online, with the click of a button. Well why not make a business out of it. Simply by allowing potential customers to make and organise purchases online. It might result in you out competing your competition.

9.Developing chatbots


Ever noticed that you are busy texting and their answers sound automated. That is all the bot's doing the automated responses are programmed to have specific answer to a particular response or variations in that response. They are extremely difficult and allow for businesses to respond to multiple potential customers.

10.Online Marketing services


The last one on this list of opportunities is a marketer. Online marketer to be exact. This would be a person or company that advertises or promotes something. You would be working from home and working on business marketing strategies to increase profit. This is especially profitable if you know of other small businesses who cannot afford the large scale marketing big corporations have. However still want a proportional effect similar to them. This would be where you come in.
