With proper tools and training, nearly everyone can easily build wealth in real estate. Especially, real estate in Burwood will also allow you to diversify your investment portfolio.

By investing in real estate, you can either flip, manage properties or become a landlord. For most individuals, becoming landlords is the basis of their business model.

  1. Freelance Writing

This is among the easiest businesses you can do online in 2022. An internet connection and a computer are the basic requirements you need.

Contrary to many people's opinions, it is not a must you have a degree in English, literature, or journalism to get you started.

Plus, you don’t have to be a native English speaker in order to break into this business. As long as you have experience or expertise in a certain field, such as crypto trading, you may make a business out of freelance writing.

  1. Cleaning Service

You may easily turn this into a profitable business if you are into cleaning. With a small team, transportation, and some cleaning supplies, you may provide cleaning services to commercial properties, apartment complexes, and homeowners. Many cleaning services charge around $40 per hour. Also, as advised by llcguys.com - don't forget to establish an LLC if you plan to have a team of cleaners.

If you want to differentiate yourself from many other cleaning services, consider adding options, such as exterior power washing or floor waxing, for an extra fee.

  1. Marketing Agency for Social Media

LinkedIn has more than 450 million users, with many employers spending around $500,000 every year for endorsements and LinkedIn profiles.

Most companies also depend on social media marketing agencies so as to maintain, optimize, and create their presence on the most common platforms, such as:

  • Pinterest

  • Twitter

  • Facebook

  1. Dropshipping

This has offered many opportunities for thousands of part-time entrepreneurs in order to create a successful business. You can import and sell many kinds of products as a curated business venture.

The only trick here is to make sure your marketing and branding are on point and targeting a specific group of people.

In addition, be extra careful of dropshipping scams and be aware of low-imported products, which can brand you a bad name in the industry.

  1. Affiliate Marketing

Normally, this business works by recommending a service or product through sharing referral links on email, social media, and blogs, among other platforms.

Many companies are looking for these entrepreneurs to assist them in getting more customers through word-of-mouth marketing. Sites such as Amazon provide affiliate programs, which works well for individuals who want to venture into this business.

While there are also many emerging opportunities, there is stiff competition in almost every industry. To thrive, you will need to be creative and innovative.
