Unemployment can be a huge problem, especially when you own your property and have a family to maintain. But if you just think about it, you might have a lot more to offer than you think, even when you don t have a college degree. You can take your business or service to the World Wide Web and start working online. To get you started, we have provided some examples of things that you can do online without having to spend a lot of money to get your own company started.

Advertise A service

Everyone has at least something they are good at. It might be a real talent such as voice recording but also just some skills that you are better in than most other people. On Fiverr, you can advertise just about any service. There must be something you can do. Maybe you are good with a computer of photo editing program and you can offer photo editing services for people who don t have the time or talent to do it themselves. Web designing, bookkeeping, and software developing are all things that you can do from the comfort of your own home. All you need is a computer or laptop and perhaps a separate study. You can also think of offering translations, writing resumes, doing research or transcribing audio files. As long as the service requires little more than a computer, you will be able to work online.

Opening a Webshop

Another job that you can do via a computer is opening a webshop. Many shops started out as a small home-based webshop and some of them never even moved on to owning a physical shop. Having only a webshop has quite a few benefits. You can work from home. You will need to send your parcels, but often that requires just one or two trips to the post office a day. All the other aspects of a webshop – administration, trading, inventory checks, customer service, can all be done online. In case of your inventory, there are software programs that can keep track of your inventory for you so you don t have to do that yourself. If your webshop runs smoothly, you can think about buying a property and move your business there, but you might be perfectly content selling items from home.

Computer Programming

Computer programming is another job that can be done from home. It s not something for everyone because it will require an in-depth knowledge of computers, hardware and software, but if that s already in your pocket you can offer these services online. Software development and other computer services will become even more important in the future (even children are taught some basic computer programming skills in primary school) so focussing on this branch might not be such a bad idea after all.

So even when you don t have a job, there are things that you can do to make money. You can expand your business later on or move on to something else entirely whenever you get the opportunity.
