Conclusion
After going through this list, depending on what you know and what you can do, combine related fields together and offer packaged services.
And what you don’t know – LEARN!
There’s a ton of free information out there (watch youtube videos) or you can research and find courses that are available online.
You can start with offering a few services/packages and just keep growing. Don’t wait until you know everything on this list because then you’ll just keep putting it off.
You may change up where you started to other areas because as you grow you might find something you absolutely love doing and want to just do that.
