15 NEW "Pandemic-Created" Business Ideas in 15 Minutes

26 million Americans are without a job right now, and that's just in the U.S. alone. It's a terrible situation, one that I'm all too familiar with myself having gotten laid off during the recession in 2008. These are tough times, but there are opportunities within them, too. I was able to build a business back in 2008 as a result of getting laid off, and I imagine that those who focus on the future, and the ability to create something new now, are the ones who are going to come out of this dire situation best.
In this video, I'm excited to share 15 new business idea and niche opportunities that have arisen for action-takers during this time. It's not about taking advantage of people's fear though (PLEASE don't do that). It's about using this time to see the new opportunities available - the new problems that have shown up out of no where, and how we can come in and create solutions to help people during this time. Serve first, and you will be rewarded - and a lot of people need help right now.
15 new business ideas in 15 minutes - which one speaks the most to you? Which one do you feel has the biggest opportunity ahead?

I'm a +6 years investor in stocks and bonds and honestly trading kept me sane over the lockdown. Giving my time and focus to growing my account and it yielded fruits for me I'm already into six figures profit now. Kudos Noud

[@EButz]

I know how lucrative the market is my day trading neighbour just moved out with his stocks profit. Lately I've been trying it but it's feels like high school economics all over again. I'd really love to record some profit to I tried swing trading but I managed to burn up 50% of my capital trying. How have you been doing this?

[@_Spencer]

The trade market is indeed lucrative, as a full time investor I can boldly say it's where I profit and survive from.

[@vincentjoker4280]

I find people get surprised when I share how easily I manage my stock portfolio and accounts, they think tirelessly at it. Truth is I leave the numbers and all my trade affairs to Licensed pro analyst Mr Noud mika, 4 years ago in 2017 when I started investing in stock&bond I partnered with a Financial advisor/Portfolio manager Mr Noud mika, he suggested I bought some stocks that he knew would yield valuable profits and he also forecasted that these companies will triple their net-worth in a space of 4 years.I did not regret taking he's advice because I've made over $860 in raw profits over the years.I started with $80k back then. Since then his been handling all my trades for me

[@OhhHellNoYouWont]

You make it sound easy. I've been trading for a while and coming across licensed pros from a good source like this isn't easy you know. Most rich folks don't recommend their broker to others. I won't pass up this opportunity, If you could be so kind to share his contact, I'd love to have me trades placed by a pro.

Thanks Pat. Interesting about your first idea. In our family we have 2 girls and 4 boys. We have homeschooled from K through 12. Our oldest is studying to be a respiratory therapist and second oldest has been accepted at Benedictine College in Atchison, KS. What seems second nature to us is probably causing others to panic.

Compared with many other business start-up ideas, a vending machine business is relatively inexpensive to start. Vending industry like massage chair is an attractive option for new business because of low startupcosts, low involvement, low risk and flexibility. With no office or retail space to rent and low stock levels, a vending machine business can be an inexpensive way to fund and run your own business.

Here's my idea for life after this: Link local businesses' websites together so the customer can do the checkout at one time. Any order in by 3 pm will have delivery by 10 pm. Do this in 300 US cities and bust Amazon. The delivery driver can get a small delivery fee added to the order. We need to bring our shopping back to Main St. America was built on the small business and people can bring it back and bust these big giants who are exploiting all of us.

[@mrnabeel345]

Thought about it in India. The margins for local businesses are very low. Add drivers commission and you'll probably not be making any profits. P.S. - I'm only talking about groceries and raw meat.
