26 million Americans are without a job right now, and that's just in the U.S. alone. It's a terrible situation, one that I'm all too familiar with myself having gotten laid off during the recession in 2008. These are tough times, but there are opportunities within them, too. I was able to build a business back in 2008 as a result of getting laid off, and I imagine that those who focus on the future, and the ability to create something new now, are the ones who are going to come out of this dire situation best.
In this video, I'm excited to share 15 new business idea and niche opportunities that have arisen for action-takers during this time. It's not about taking advantage of people's fear though (PLEASE don't do that). It's about using this time to see the new opportunities available – the new problems that have shown up out of no where, and how we can come in and create solutions to help people during this time. Serve first, and you will be rewarded – and a lot of people need help right now.
15 new business ideas in 15 minutes – which one speaks the most to you? Which one do you feel has the biggest opportunity ahead?
And if you've been affected job-wise by the current situation, I've created a number of free resources on my website to help you during this time, including books and courses to help you start your business, too. We've given away over 2.4 million dollars worth of information, and already people are starting their new businesses today, which is awesome.
Here's a link to that resource:

I’ve really needed to focus on my YouTube channel for years now. Idk why I haven’t. I have had so many great ideas and I see these guys making passive income from simple videos that are seriously not that great. This guys ideas are pretty insightful. Very motivating!
“Screw You” omg Pat, I’ve followed you for years and that cracked me up HARD. If people don’t know you well they might not understand why that’d be hilarious coming from you. The only thing I can relate it to is if Ned Flanders came out with it. LoL. Love your content, love what you do. Keep inspiring brutha!
If you sell hand sanitizer at common retail price why is that wrong ? You’re making the product available to people that need it?
Your shirt is everything!
I was hooked from the beginning of the video, but the over delivering part got the subscribe from me. And now I’ll be binging your content. Thanks!!
@Felix Salgado i think what they meant is those who hoard and sell at a higher price. it is very common.
Here’s my idea for life after this: Link local businesses’ websites together so the customer can do the checkout at one time. Any order in by 3 pm will have delivery by 10 pm. Do this in 300 US cities and bust Amazon. The delivery driver can get a small delivery fee added to the order. We need to bring our shopping back to Main St. America was built on the small business and people can bring it back and bust these big giants who are exploiting all of us.
Great…. Going
Yoga….
I love the “screw you” to all the folks out there who are taking advantage of people in this crisis! 🙂 I also love the business ideas and models you have going here! 🙂
Thought about it in India. The margins for local businesses are very low. Add drivers commission and you’ll probably not be making any profits.
P.S. – I’m only talking about groceries and raw meat.
Voice quality’s really dope. Great content!
People are so easily brainwashed by media. Selling PPE and providing people with safety equipment is not a bad thing you idiots! For people who claim it’s selling based off a fear, you should think about insurance.
I’ve admired your talks, trying to figure out how their applicable in Uganda
Have you seen bus schedules in the USA?

I am doing the patient investor thing and buying the dip but doesn’t seem to be working, getting the opinion of an investment advisor is surely in order.
The pandemic has made it clear that everyone needs more than there basic salary to be financially secure. The best thing to do with your money is to invest, money left in savings always end up being used with no returns. I started investing in bitcoin mid January 2020 through the guide of a professional investment manager Mr ben cesaro on whatsapp with $6,000 and i have amassed about $66,000 in net profit. If i had left my $6,000 in savings by now i am sure of having nothing left.you can start up today by contacting him via whatsapp with (+1801-513-2207) or via gmail with bencesaro@gmail.com

Hi Beatrice, being from Africa myself I’d say that niche areas for Uganda would be growing food – you could learn all about growing vegetables that will thrive in your area, then host workshops teaching and helping others to do it (at a small cost because I know times are tough) They can then live off and/or sell their produce to others. Other good avenues are education and being the middle man (women) in helping people find jobs for people/companies (you charge a commission fee – your sales point being that it save them the time and effort because you’ll do the searching for them) that are looking. All that is needed is access to the internet…
OMG !! i can’t believe this i’m sure you have seen post about @Charles_forex09 at instagram and i decided to give it a try and luckily it wel, I highly recommend Charles_forex09 at IG
😆😆😆
@Sub Zero Doesn’t mean he’s wrong.
Much much thanks. Trying to meet a deadline and really wanted to skip the already researched areas.
Because of the high profits I got from investing bitcoin with Ms Shreya Powers , I’m able to purchase a new car through my investments with her. She’s the best in what she does.

I love your shirt ” Do what you love”
I’m happy to hear you have scruples in regards to the hand sanitizer venture.
I am so in love with this channel. I am 40 years old and just started investing in stocks, bonds, and ETFs. I even started my IRA, and 401k with the help of my licensed trade analyst, I’ve been able to compound over $16k in profits from my trades.. It’s exciting, and I’m learning wish 25 year old me knew this stuff. Always look forward to your next content.
It’s almost the same situation here. The difference is that I got off early enough to know that financial planning would help me go a long way. I’m in my 60’s and reaping off my hardwork.
You’re lucky guys. I have lost a lot on my side.
Individuals contemplating investing in the markets should get seasoned guidance. I encourage you to look up Egan Hestrel on his webpage Hestrelegan..info to get acquainted with services.
He recommend investing no more than 60% of my portfolio in growth stocks. The rest should be in a diversified mix of low cost index mutual funds that has earned me more overtime.
I am thinking about a new type of restaurants : eating-spots,
in eating-spots, food keeps changing, chefs also rotate
this is opposed to current restaurants,
thanks to this rotation of food and chefs, eating-spots are way more powerful than restaurants,
along with that, there is an app,
people vote for the food that will be cooked in the next days,
menu is influenced by the live input of the people via an app
