Given these figures, and taking advantage of the range of opportunities offered by digitization, we must reinvent ourselves and, as things stand, starting from home has become one of the best options.

Many SMEs need someone to advise and advise them. In fact, according to a World Economic Forum Future of Work report, 4 out of 10 companies intend to use outside consultants for specialized work.
And, in this sense, the meetings could be held via video call, for example.
2. Web design
To work from home as a web designer, it is necessary to have some experience or training in this field, mastering technologies such as HTML, CSS or JavaScript.
If this is the case, to begin with, you should create your own blog or website to make yourself known. You can create templates or example images for other websites and start selling your work with realistic and well-crafted examples.
3. YouTuber/influencer
If you have a skill or passion that stands out, see if it could get enough takers by sharing it on different networks and formats.
In the event that you like it, you could climb, promote yourself and even earn money with it. You can show how you play a video game, tell jokes or offer more humorous content, to make tutorials of all kinds, whether they are about beauty, cooking, crafts, etc.
4. Graphic Designer

The only thing you need is a good computer, so it can be done easily from home.
5. Podcaster
Podcasts are back in fashion. If you have the right material, you can record shows and sell them to the right channels. This content is increasingly successful as it can be consumed at any time and is multitasking.
6.Community manager
The figure of Community Manager is essential if you want to have a meaningful and effective digital presence. Being a digital profession, this work can be done comfortably from home.

9. Online teacher
The learning model has also changed in terms of private classes. More and more people take advantage of studying online.
The network offers hundreds of training possibilities, the costs of virtual education are usually favorable and it offers flexibility in terms of time and place of study. Why not study Portuguese with a teacher who is in Lisbon?
10. Remote Personal Trainer
The confinement and the harsh restrictions on gyms in terms of capacity and opening hours have made it fashionable to exercise at home. Likewise, the fitness market has been pushed towards online training, so if you like sports, becoming a remote personal trainer is the best option for you.
Starting a business is not easy. You can have very good ideas but, without the right knowledge, it is difficult to get it right. Training is essential to know what one is going to face, how the market works and the different stages of launching a new project.
Also to propose the business idea, calculate the economic return, to carry out tests and market studies, to shape branding, web creation and design, management of social networks, etc.
