Businesses always want to get their information in front of their potential clients and that isn’t going away in 2020.

Companies need chatbots to help with their customer queries on their website. Consumers don’t want to type their questions in for support and they don’t want to look through the website FAQ.

If you know how to create chatbots, you can help companies with their sales, data gathering and more.

Learning how to create chatbots isn’t complicated for those that are technically inclined and every business with a website and app is going to need one, so the opportunity is large.

Gone are the days when people started a business and stuck with it until the day they died.

Now people are interested in starting and selling businesses. People that are buying and selling businesses need a business broker to take care of the details and make sure everything is in order.

To be a good business broker, you need to know business law. You should also gain specialized knowledge in the industry where you’re focused.

4. Language Translation Services

Even though we have Google translate and other technology that can help us understand other languages, there are some things that can’t be left up to technology.

Create your online store, build a strong brand and following and you can still make a good income from selling products online.

People are starting to take the environment and sustainability seriously. Reusable bags are becoming more of the norm than paper bags or plastic bags.

Building a socially conscious brand can be a very successful strategy and it can make you feel good about yourself. Even though people want to minimize their footprint on the environment, that doesn’t mean they want to use ugly bags.

Create cool designs and put them on your reusable bags and you’ll find there are a lot of people that are interested in your product.
