Medical courier service
Healthcare industry is expanding, because due to the pandemic people started to be more responsible about their health.

Your job will be transporting medicines, equipment, and lab specimens. Healthcare industry isn’t endangered so it is pretty stable. You can start on your own as a solo entrepreneur, and if your business thrive, you will hire more drivers.
Transcription service
This business is great if you can start slowly, and don’t have money for the start. All you need to have is a computer, software for transcriptions, and messaging service.

If you have a day job, you can scale how many transcription jobs you can manage. If you want to earn more, you can think about getting a certificate.
Online casino owner
People sit at home for a year, gamblers can’t go to the live casino, because they are closed or have limited operation abilities. To fill this gap they will sit in front of the computer and join their favourite games in an online casino. To start this one you may need to have a little bit more money for the start. First costs are web development, domain renting, security and payment system. Then you need to buy a license for particular games. When you launch your casino, you need to provide your prospecting customers with a casino bonus because this will lure them to your website, not competition’s.
Virtual Assistant
Many companies operate in remote work environments and bosses need to manage their time. To fit this new reality, there is a job of virtual assistant. If you have talent for time management, and great interpersonal skills, you can assist entrepreneurs. You will need a computer, some time management tool, and good communication software. It is beneficial for bosses too since they don’t pay a full time in-site assistant, but they can scale your service to their needs.
Pet sitting
If you work remotely, love pets, and need additional income, pet sitting can be just for you. Your responsibilities would be to feed the animal, give it water, play with it, keep it away from things it may break, or if it is a dog, go with it for a walk. In free time you can do your remote work. Pet sitting can be in your customer’s house or in yours, if clients agree with it.
Elderly care service
Our seniors always need our help, but sometimes family lives away, and there is no one around to help pensioners. If you are patient, empathetic and have good interpersonal skills, you can offer your service to take care of the seniors. It can be a hard job, that is for sure, since elderly people can be stubborn and don’t want to cooperate with you sometimes. You can start small, then can do some certificates, or even turn this into the company, and hire more employees.
Home catering

This is your target. You can cook delicious meals, cakes, and sweets in your home and deliver them to customers. Moreover, you can tailor your cuisine for diabetics, allergics, and gluten or lactose intolerant people. That will make it more attractive for people struggling with these illnesses. Starts can be simple. Just you, your kitchen, and a car to deliver food. If the business grows, you may want to hire a driver.
