Why the Healthcare Industry Could Be Your Inspiration to Start a Business

by

The health and wellness industry is a lucrative one to be in; one just has to look at the many health fads, health products, and exercise regimes that currently exist to get a feel for what people are looking for. Moreover, there are plenty of opportunities to choose from, as being healthy means something different for everyone. So if you have ever considered starting a business in this thriving sector of the economy, the Namafit.com blog shares how to get started.

Discover your niche

While the healthcare industry is certainly varied and there are many options to choose from, it’s important to choose something that you’re interested in and that there is a real demand for. Again, your choice doesn’t have to be complicated and might actually be simpler than you think if you were to just look closer to home in terms of what you, your family, or friends are looking for health-wise. Similarly, you can get ideas from watching TV or searching online too. Selling online is an excellent option if your dream is to open an e-commerce health store. Alternatively, you could choose to run a business from home such as becoming a personal trainer or yoga instructor, for example. Then there is always the option of opening up a health store from a traditional brick-and-mortar building. 

Concentrating on marketing

Marketing for a health-based business is probably going to require a consistent effort to build relationships with customers. Furthermore, because products and services in the health and wellness industry might not be so readily known, this can make persuading the customer to choose your product or service particularly challenging. For example, it may help to have referrals or testimonials from professionals in the sector to support the credibility of what you are offering.

Also, it’s about choosing the right marketing strategy to reach out to your target audience. From a professional perspective, a website usually works best to create a credible presence for your business online, regardless of whether your business is online or not. Then you don’t want to miss out on using social media as there is a big potential for getting your business noticed here too. 

Get the necessary paperwork in place

Once you’ve decided on your niche business idea, and have done the necessary research to establish that there is a demand for your offering, you then need to focus on registering your business accordingly. An LLC is an excellent option if you don’t have much time to waste, and you need to get a move on with your business quickly. It’s simple to set up and has other benefits that make it a top contender among health and wellness entrepreneurs including certain tax benefits that are worth taking advantage of, less paperwork to complete at the beginning, and it has limited liability which means your personal assets are going to be protected at all times. 

Just remember that if you are setting up your health-based business in a different state that different regulations may apply, in which case using a formation service may be quicker and more cost-effective than going the lawyer route. All you need to do is select a registered agent online to handle this process for you if you are planning on opening a business somewhere new. 

Finding the necessary funding

Finding the necessary funding to launch your business is also going to require serious consideration, especially if you don’t have much to put up front in the beginning. Should this be the case, and you don’t have a lot of start-up capital, to begin with, there are other options such as obtaining finance through investors, a bank loan, or venture capital, for example, to help get your business up and running. 

Getting the equipment and software you need

Of course, you also need the requisite equipment and software to get your business going so that you can start to realize profits sooner rather than later. Apart from having the necessary inventory software to help you manage your inventory levels better, you will probably also need to have the right accounting software to ensure you have an adequate grasp of your financial standing at all times. So be sure to choose software that not only organizes and stores receipts properly but also enables you to be tax compliant while reaping tax advantages too. It should also be able to provide you with a clear indication of what your cash flow situation is looking like at all times. 

Indeed, starting a business in a health-based industry is highly recommended if you have a passion for helping people live their best lives, and you want to earn a decent living at the same time.

Side Hustles to Help You Earn Money During the Coronavirus Shutdown

by

The coronavirus pandemic continues to take a financial toll on households across the country. People everywhere are facing layoffs, decreased hours, and pay cuts due to restrictions and social distancing orders, and many are struggling to make ends meet as a result. While this situation is just temporary, it’s still very stressful.

If you’re one of the millions of Americans affected by these changes, consider starting a side hustle to earn some income while you search for your next full-time position. You might be surprised by all the ways you can profit from your existing skills and hobbies. Check out the following flexible gigs for ideas!

Online Freelancing

Whether you’re skilled at writing, marketing, web development, or social media engagement, freelancing can be a great way to make money from home. For example, digital marketing is huge right now, so if you’re needing to fill in a gap and that’s your bag, do some freelancing! Online marketing experts are one of many who can offer their services via job boards, which could lead to a permanent position, improved portfolio, and perhaps even your own full-time agency someday—or it could just get you by until you’re ready for the next role. There truly are freelancers for just about everything these days, from legal services to graphic design, so whatever your field is, consider exploring your freelancing options.

Dog Sitting

If you love animals, pet sitting is a fun way to earn some extra cash. Dog sitting in your own home through pet daycare or overnight boarding can be great for people working from home. Either way, you’ll enjoy having a furry friend around to keep you company if you find yourself sticking closer to home. Just make sure your home is prepared for this job. Get rid of toxic house plants, check for choking hazards, hide or cover power cords, and secure trash can lids.

Insurance

Have you ever considered plugging into the insurance industry? It’s a solid career choice, or it can be just something to get you by. There is something for everyone in the field, from analysis and computations for introverts to sales and outreach for extroverts. Make sure you connect with a reputable company that you’ll enjoy working with, though, and check out employee reviews through sites like Indeed or GlassDoor

Tutoring

According to Education Week, the coronavirus outbreak forced the closure of over 124,000 schools in the United States, impacting at least 55.1 million students. As a result, online tutors are in high demand. Tutors can teach a wide variety of subjects without any specific qualifications—all you need is a reliable internet connection and strong communication skills. If this is up your alley, connect with students on tutoring platforms and job boards, and don’t forget to advertise your services on social media.

Selling Stuff Online

The e-commerce world is another opportunity to make money from home. Whether you want to get crafty and create your own products or dropship items straight from the supplier, selling stuff online can be an exciting and rewarding venture. You could even sell stuff from around your home! Sort through your belongings and look for things you no longer want or use, then post these on marketplaces like eBay to find your buyers. Decluttering your home can also help you stay sane when you’re spending more time at home. 

Part-Time Jobs

COVID-19 has caused a huge demand for workers in certain industries. CNN reports that several grocery stores, pharmacies, take-out restaurants, and delivery companies are hiring new employees right now, so this can be an excellent opportunity for part-time work. While these jobs may not match the salary of your full-time position, they can help you pay the bills for now. Just make sure you stay safe out there! Wash your hands frequently, carry hand sanitizer, and practice social distancing. 

Whether you’re between jobs, need to take time off to watch the kids at home, or working reduced hours to care for someone who is sick, a side hustle can help you get by. Even if you’re one of the lucky few still working your full-time job, a side gig may be a good idea to help you build up that emergency fund during these uncertain times. One of these hustles might just turn into your new full-time career!
