It goes without saying that the MCO has affected hundreds of thousands of rice bowls. As a result, many people have started their own small businesses to stay afloat<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

If you go on almost any social media platform, you can find people promoting a huge variety of these businesses; from food, to beauty products, to handmade items.<\/p>\n

You might be thinking of starting a side hustle during this time and if you are, here are some businesses that give a shot. Granted, some of these may require you to learn and practise first if you aren\u2019t already skilled in them. But once you\u2019ve picked it up, you can start monetizing it.<\/p>\n

1. Food and catering<\/h2>\n

The one thing that everyone has turned to during the MCO (besides online shopping) is food. Sure, we\u2019ve all been ordering food online even before the pandemic. But lately, with dine-ins being prohibited, we\u2019ve had to resort to ordering on GrabFood or FoodPanda more frequently.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re someone who can whip up a good meal, you can consider starting a food catering service. And the best part is that it can be on a small-scale\u2014you don\u2019t have to cook for hundreds of people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Besides cooking meals, you can also start a baking or dessert business<\/strong>. You can take orders in advance so that you only need to make something when it\u2019s requested.<\/p>\n

Do note that if you\u2019re dealing with food, you should get a typhoid jab<\/a><\/strong> and take a food handling course certified by the Ministry of Health, also known as Kursus Pengendalian Makanan<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

2. Gifting services<\/h2>\n

 Being under a lockdown means not being able to have gatherings, missing birthdays, other festivities and so on.<\/p>\n

At a time like this, many people have turned to sending their family and friends gifts<\/strong>, especially if they can\u2019t be there in person. If you\u2019re a creative person who enjoys making someone\u2019s day, you can consider starting a gifting business.<\/p>\n

You can curate gift boxes and hampers according to your customers\u2019 tastes<\/strong>, which can make the job fun. You can also work together with other vendors such as florists or bakers to add more items to your service.<\/p>\n

The other good thing about a gifting business is that there will always be important days that people want to celebrate all year round. So, once you\u2019ve gotten a steady clientele, people might reach out to you for gifts very frequently.<\/p>\n

3. Handmade jewellery\/home decor<\/h2>\n

The MCO has seen many people unleash their creative side, especially through arts and crafts. If you didn\u2019t already know, resin and polymer clay jewellery businesses have been mushrooming since last year. Besides that, there has also been an increase in homemade candles, soaps, wood and cement art, and so on.<\/p>\n

A lot of the materials needed to make these items are relatively easy to source. You\u2019ll need sufficient space to store them, though, so this would be ideal if you do have extra space.<\/p>\n

Again, you might need to get some practice in making these products before selling them<\/strong>. Start off by giving some pieces to friends and family for their feedback. Once you think you\u2019ve gotten the hang of it, you can launch your business!<\/p>\n

4. Dropship agent<\/h2>\n

Not brave enough to start your own business? No worries. There are plenty of businesses that need you to sell their products for them<\/strong>. To start off, you can join dropshipping groups on Facebook, or search up #dropshipwanted on Instagram.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find hundreds, if not thousands of businesses that need dropship agents. The scope of work can vary from business to business. Some might need you to store and sell their products, while some might not require you to store anything, but to just market and promote their business. You\u2019ll get paid a commission for every sale you make.<\/p>\n

Before signing up to be anyone\u2019s dropship agent, make sure that the business is legitimate and not a scam<\/strong>. Ask for the registration number or other relevant information, and ensure that there are other dropship agents who have been receiving their payments.<\/p>\n

5. Content creation<\/h2>\n

All of us consume a great amount of content on social media. Even without us realizing, we can spend hours scrolling through apps like Instagram and TikTok.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not someone who\u2019s camera shy, you can make creative and engaging videos<\/strong> for people to watch. Or if you enjoy writing, you can start a fun lifestyle blog<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Now, content creation isn\u2019t easy and it won\u2019t give you money immediately. But if you manage to capture the right crowd, you can become an influencer<\/strong>. Companies will then reach out to you for collaborations or features on your page<\/strong>, and you might just see income flowing in. <\/p>\n

6. Sell indoor plants<\/h2>\n

Another thing the MCO has birthed is an increase in plant parents (this writer is one of them). Many online nurseries that have cropped up during this time have been booming. So, if you have green fingers yourself, you might want to consider this as an option.<\/p>\n

Understandably, storing plants will require a lot of space. But you can start off on a small-scale first and sell smaller plants<\/strong> such as succulents and tiny flowering plants.<\/p>\n

Besides the plants themselves, you can also provide other plant essentials<\/strong> such as pots, soil, gardening tools, and so on.<\/p>\n

Prepare before launching your business<\/h2>\n

Starting your own business can be daunting and you\u2019ll need to ensure you\u2019re ready. You\u2019ll need to pick up basic skills, prepare the space and equipment, and most importantly, have the capital<\/strong> for it. If you\u2019re looking for ways to save for a business, here are some tips:<\/p>\n
