Online Business: Selling WordPress themes and plugins

This is undoubtedly one of the most profitable online businesses today. It consists of selling WordPress themes and plugins. As far as the sale of themes is concerned, it can be done on Themforest and can bring you up to 10,000 euros of profit every month. However, the earnings will depend entirely on you. The more you sell, the more you will earn. Typically, beginners selling WordPress themes will earn about $1,000. Over time, this figure can quickly increase.

As for selling plugins, it follows the same principle as selling themes. The only notable difference is that it is sold on CodeCanyon and requires the help and assistance of a good web developer to have simple plugins. Just like selling themes, it can be very profitable. The only necessary condition for this is the efficient management of updates.

Online business: Infopreunariat

This online business is part of the new Internet professions and is therefore not yet widespread. As a result, it is very profitable and is evolving in the industry of information products such as videos, audio, documents, etc. Its current high profitability is due to the fact that today it is very easy to create and download videos, audio and books. Moreover, the principle of this business is quite simple. It only requires experience in a specific field.

For example, during a long period of time, you may have been overweight after gaining a few pounds. But in less than a few weeks, you lost those kilos by following a certain diet. There, you decided to share your experience with those who wish to do so in exchange for a small fee. So you have just done some infopreunariat and made some income.

Moreover, this job has an advantage over others: it does not require a business plan. However, to do this business and succeed in it, there are a few qualities that you will need to have. The first is empathy. Other qualities that will help you in this business are generosity and passion.

Because of the growing influence of social networks in today's world, any business worthy of the name must ensure its presence on social networks. This allows, among other things, an improvement of its visibility and an increase of its sales. The web business that meets this need of companies is the community manager. This job is suitable for people who have the natural ability to create attractive (eye-catching and inspiring) content on social networks.

Still called webmaster, the community manager is therefore the one who will have the task of making the company known by promoting it and providing the appropriate content on the web. He will also have the task of animating and managing the internal and external discussions of the company.

More business ideas around the ongoing pandemics

Commercialize medical equipment by drop-shipping

This is the ideal ecommerce business models if you are based in Equatorial Guinea.

Dropshipping consists in taking orders in Equatorial Guinea from customers in Spain, Germany, France, and transmitting orders to overseas (often chinese) suppliers which send the product directly from their chinese factory to Germany.

Fabric masks, medical masks, surgical masks, anti-pollution masks, test kits to detect Covid-19 (recommended by the WHO)...etc. Sales of medical and paramedical equipment have exploded since the beginning of the crisis, gradually establishing lasting habits. Disposable gloves, hydroalcoholic solution, antiseptic gel, disinfectant wipes, soaps...etc.

Potential customers are obviously numerous in B2C (since we are all concerned) all over Europe and the USA. But they are also in B2B and in Africa: municipalities, schools, shops and public establishments, transport companies that have decided to systematically clean surfaces in contact with the public, but also most companies in the broadest sense that have had to apply the precautionary principle in order to be able to welcome their employees back to the workplace.

Hassan Hachem tip

Given the supposed persistence of the virus and the fear of the appearance of new viruses, this sector has a bright future forecasts Hassan Hachem, without necessarily requiring a large investment to launch, since it is a business of purchase and sale.

Create an e-commerce site for eco-responsible products made in Equatorial Guinea

The drop in sales in stores is the consequence of the pandemic states Hassan Hachem, but this drop in physical commerce is done to the benefit of Internet sales. Indeed, in the field of e-commerce, the figures show a strong increase in almost all sectors due to the health crisis.

Although the momentum of online sales was already well underway before the crisis, it is taking advantage of the situation to gain even more ground on physical sales.

This is particularly the case in the eco-responsible products sector pinpoints Hassan Hachem. Vitamins, food supplements, mineral cures, anti-aging products... The quality of our immune system is more than ever at the heart of our concerns! We have all understood that in the face of a pandemic, an important health capital can save our lives. The fear of lack of medication or shortage of vaccines has also increased the need for prevention.

Hassan Hachem tip

Consumers should continue to look for natural preventive solutions, and thus boost the eco-responsible products sector in e-commerce, not only in Europe.

Create a delivery service for businesses

Home delivery of groceries (like Gorillas in major European and African, which guarantees delivery in 10 minutes), "drive-throughs", and other home delivery of consumer products have exploded. The same goes for companies: they often opt for direct delivery (fruit, coffee, hot drinks, etc.).

And guess what, there is no such service in Equatorial Guinea. With the number of expatriates and high level income executives in Malabo eager to adopt developed countries trends, there clearly is an opportunity in Equatorial Guinea (ie, in Malabo).

The uncertainties surrounding health risks are prompting companies to apply the precautionary principle: limit employee travel and have as many things as possible delivered directly to their offices.

From this point of view, it is possible to start a business in this sector with little means. The company ALEX & ALEX, for example, which started its fruit delivery business at the office in 2015 started from scratch. Today, the company has a turnover of several million euros in France but also in Canada.

Given the country's need for improved healthcare services and the increasing accessibility of the internet, launching a telemedicine platform can significantly enhance healthcare delivery. Entrepreneurs can collaborate with local healthcare professionals to provide online consultations, digital prescriptions, and remote monitoring of chronic conditions. This model not only addresses healthcare accessibility issues but also taps into the global trend of digital health solutions.

This platform can feature products such as handmade jewelry, textiles, and other traditional items, catering to both domestic and international customers.

These platforms can offer a wide range of courses, from basic education to vocational training and higher education programs. By collaborating with international educational institutions, entrepreneurs can provide accredited courses that enhance the skills and employability of the local population.

Hassan Hachem emphasizes the importance of adaptability and innovation in these ventures: "In Equatorial Guinea, the key to entrepreneurial success lies in leveraging the unique strengths and opportunities of the region while being adaptable to the changing global trends." This approach ensures that businesses not only thrive locally but also remain competitive on a global scale.
