How can you make quick cash and keep your business afloat in this difficult period of lockdown? It’s a question on millions of minds across the world right now. 

Fortunately, Catherine is here today to give you ten instant and practical ways to unlock opportunities for making money in a time when you need it the most. With a gallery of ideas, and the online resources to back you up, this is an incredibly timely, and invaluable episode for everyone.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Each method will have its own pros and cons, but these will depend upon you and your personal circumstances. Some require investment, and some require a complete pivot in terms of outlook, but all hold value and are worth considering.
• E-commerce - Specifically the “private labelling” strategy, involving taking a product and re-packaging it for your brand. This strategy requires education and research, but can be a hugely effective way of generating income.
• Arbitrage - A different form of e-commerce, which takes two forms: online and retail. Arbitrage is the simple act of sourcing a product and selling it on at a profit. It’s important to remember that no-one should attempt to be profiteering during this period.
• E-commerce drop-shipping - This strategy means that you don’t have to invest in buying the stock before you re-sell it. Essentially you act as a third-party between the manufacturer and the customer as a storefront. The manufacturer ships directly to the customer once an order is placed.
• Handcrafting and selling -Are you creating a product at home? Would there be a market for it on sites such as Etsy, Not On The High Street, Facebook Sales or eBay? Now might be the time to start selling your handcrafted items online!
• Online courses - Do you have a specialist skill that you could teach to others? People are determined to keep developing and growing during isolation. This may be a wonderful opportunity to pass your skills on to a waiting world.
• Facebook/YouTube Live streams - Physical exercise classes, educational lessons, musical tuition and many other skills can be taught easily through Facebook Live and YouTube broadcasts to people hungry for instruction.
• Podcasting/YouTube - Now is the time to start your podcast! Podcasting can generate income in lots of ways, plus it’s a fabulous means of spending your creativity. It’s easy to start, and audiences are craving content right now. The best part is that you can repurpose in all kinds of ways: scripts into blog posts, and even YouTube videos into audio downloads.
• Delivery - Logistics is booming right now as most people are having goods and products delivered rather than going out for them. Perhaps you can become a driver for one of the many services out there?
• Trading - A strategy not for the faint-hearted, and certainly requires a degree of education, and the correct mental capacity and nerve. But trading in stocks and shares is something you can do from home, and there are opportunities to be had in the volatile financial world.
• Consultancy - Can you offer your knowledge in a consultancy capacity? You may have a wealth of knowledge that has suddenly become highly sought-after. Places such as LinkedIn are marvellous ways of letting the world know that you’re skilled, and that you’re available.
