Become a driving instructor
I know this sounds totally left field, but I’ve had quite a few friends that tell me how fulfilling this can be! A place like CDL school is one of many institutions that prides itself on creating great driving instructors who can go on to teach future generations of drivers. Learning to drive is always a nerve-racking experience and if you’ve always enjoyed driving and being on the road yourself, then becoming a driver instructor offers the best of both worlds.
Not only do you get the fulfillment of teaching students to drive but you also get to take a business out on the road, rather than it typically operating in an office environment.
Freelance writing
For creatively led individuals, a great business to start online is through freelance writing. Many often start with a blog where they can begin creating content that acts as a portfolio to showcase to those who might be hiring writers for their projects.
There are plenty of freelancers in the world and the industry is growing at an impressive rate, especially since COVID-19.
It’s a tough industry to tap into when you’re only just starting but if you’ve got a talent for writing then publishing or writing up a few example pieces might be just enough to get noticed and secure your first writing job as a freelance writing business.
Sell your wares
Starting a business could be achieved by selling things you’ve made yourself. Whether that’s a physical product or a digital service online, there are lots of opportunities online nowadays that can help with selling your products or services to the masses.
With the potential to go global, the opportunities are endless and there are plenty of platforms to promote your business, whatever it is that you intend to sell.
Teach online
For those who have a specific talent or expert knowledge in a particular field, you could always consider starting a business of teaching others online. Perhaps you’ve become a digital marketing expert and you want to start a consultation or mentoring business that shares your expert knowledge with businesses online and offline.
It could be that you’ve got a degree in English or History perhaps and instead of teaching in a classroom or school, you take your knowledge online and teach it online instead.

Starting a business, whether it starts with just you or with someone else is exciting. There are many opportunities nowadays to explore a career change and to plunge into the unknown by starting a business of your own.
