4 ways To Stop Lamenting And Make Money During The Covid Pandemic by naijacutee(f): 6:20pm On Apr 20, 2020

If you're serious about success, I suggest that as you read this article, you do not rush through and assume that these ideas are for someone else. You are more than capable of taking one idea from this and making more money than you’ve made since January 2020. I discuss many opportunities in this post so if something is not for you, skip it and look out for the opportunity that fits your skills, your experience - and take action immediately.

1. CREATE A CORONAVIRUS TESTING KIT
This is not for everyone, so if you have no scientific background, skip to No. 2. If you do have a scientific/lab testing background, read on. The world is desperate for a portable coronavirus testing kit and the best way to make money is by giving people what they desperately need. There is a global need so great that Bill Gates is heavily invested in funding the development of a coronavirus testing kit. However, this is taking some time. If you in your little scientific bubble have a viable idea on how to get this product ready for the market, this is the time to either develop it or reach out to investors or even the Bill Gates Foundation team.

2. SELL ONLINE
What are people looking for? Can you give it to them in the most pain-free way possible? These are the 2 questions that people pay a lot to go to school to learn.

Before I go into products, let me mention that you need to have a solid strategy that makes you money. Here’s what I suggest:

• Step 1. Find suppliers for the items you want to sell. Yes, they are busy. Be persistent with your research and call them to find out what their minimum order quantities are. If they will send directly to your customers (dropshipping), even better.[/li]
• Step 2. Once you have secured a supplier, get an online presence. This is your shop front when no one is allowed to go out. If your customers are looking for you on Konga, sign up for Konga. If they are looking for you on Jiji, get a Jiji account. You get the idea. This is not about what is convenient for you. If you want to go ahead and set up your own store, you can do this using Shopify for as little as $29.99. They offer a free 14-day trial in which time you could probably figure out whether or not you can make the cost of your subscription. If you don’t want to create a store, you could create a single product funnel using software like Clickfunnels. Clickfunnels helps you create a standard product page with a “Buy” button and the opportunity to position other products as extras or “upsells”. This costs $97/month, but also comes with a 14-day trial.
• Step 3. Market your products. Here’s where the work lies – and we’re so lucky to live in a world where social media connects us to millions of people at the touch of a button. If you can't afford any paid services, use the time you have to market your products online.
• Step 4. Arrange logistics. [/LIST]

Things selling fast in these times include:-
- Food items, delivered to your customers. Both raw food items and cooked food in bulk
- Cold and flu items. You could create 'packs' containing Robb, face masks, hand sanitisers, thermometers etc.
- Immunity supplements. This is the time for network marketers who know their work to shine. Supplements such as Vitamin C and Echinacea will disappear from the market soon.
- Homeworking equipment such as laptops, headphones with mic, webcams etc

3.MAKE MONEY AS AN AFFILIATE
An affiliate is someone who markets other people's goods online in exchange for a commission. As people move to start working online, they will look for new software and tools to help them collaborate better. There is an opportunity for you to recommend these products to them, and take your cut. With the internet, you do not have to target poor people in your country. Target people who can afford these subscriptions - they do not care where you are based as long as you can point them in the right direction.

Affiliate networks like Shareasale and CJ.com are places where you can find companies willing to pay you a commission for your referrals.
You can sign up as an affiliate for - educational resources sites, online collaboration tools, private doctors appointments etc.

4. TEACH WHAT YOU KNOW
With Covid19 shutting down physical classes and meetings there are people looking for, and still paying to learn certain things. If you are an expert in any of these areas, you could help those searching for you
- Antenatal classes
- Teach kids classes
- Create content and printable resources for children
- Fitness classes and exercises

Remeber, it's all about taking action. This is a shortened version, and the full post is available here: https://www.mrpepe.com/feature/how-to-make-money-during-the-coronavirus-outbreak-without-losing-your-ethics/
