Aside from preventing Coronavirus lets talk about how to monetize it.

Like people are mass buying face mask then reselling it for a higher price. (The law of supply and demand)

I also saw blogs using catchy headlines only to find out that they are fake news and there are so many pop up ads or cpa lock.

Let's talk about potential ideas.

Thanks
 
I already saw some tshirts or local memes about that. But you can put any kind of situation on tshirt.
Potential is buying stocks, during ebola virus stocks of company making those suits went up.
+ You could re-live stream / re-blogging Chinas things, their social media etc are different, they don't use YouTube or stuff like that. (What i know) Basically bring stuff from chinas market to ours.
 
Hand Sanitizer has a good going business nowadays. Sales have been increased by over 255% :eek: for UK hand sanitizers. Which is gold now for every business.

Just look a this shit

Sales of hand sanitizer are skyrocketing due to the coronavirus, leading to rationing and price hikes

It’s more hyped.
People are not even going to offices, everyone is scared to death.
 
A Series of videos on youtube about coronavirus explaining different things about CORONA

Start ad and then can sell Masks
 
Hand sanitizers and masks obvious along with whatever is the most productive item in China will be in huge demand coz china dropshipping is dead Like toys!
 
Step One: Identify a product that could be reasonably considered to be important in protecting yourself from Corona other than masks and sanitisers. Obviously it has to legitimately be protective, otherwise you're going to get -1,000 karma points for selling people shit they think protects them but doesn't.. but the key is something that as of yet is not in short supply globally so you can still buy in bulk cheap.

Step Two: Buy them in bulk. If you can make it niche enough, you might even be able to buy the majority of the world's supply if it's a specific brand for example.

Step Three: Have a large amount of content produced that says that <insert your item> protects against Corona virus. Longform pieces, invest a bit into making the content really high quality. Use science to support your point of view. Cross reference the articles for added authority. Have the content also translated into the languages of the countries with the highest numbers of infections - ie. Chinese, Farsi, Korean, Italian etc.

Step Four: Create a lot of listings for <insert product> on Ebay and Amazon, mark up the price by 5x - 10x of what you paid. Also look at creating listings in geo-located alternatives like AliExpress, and local Ebay-like platforms.

Step Five: Create fake social confirmation with reviews and self-sales.

Step Six: Add links to your sales listings in the articles you've created.

Step Seven: Bomb your articles with a bunch of press releases, and also <insert other creative SEO/SMM methods>. Target your marketing towards countries with the highest numbers of infections, as well as countries that are bordering them.

Step Eight: Break even pretty quickly if this works, whilst also providing people with legitimate ways to protect themselves from Corona, albeit at a higher price than they should be paying. If your item begins going into short supply like sanitiser and masks, you know that this has hit its sweet spot.

(Optional) Step Nine: Reinvest your revenue into creating more content and building more exposure for it. It should become a feedback loop where eventually your product is ubiquitously considered as an important way to protect people from Corona.


It's a pretty cold and robotic way of making money, and personally I wouldn't really want anything to do with making money from Corona - but you asked for it.

Another option is to take advantage of the enormous downturn in demand for Chinese products globally right now.

Chinese manufacturers and suppliers would have to be close to sucking people off if they place orders, so there's a good opportunity to outreach to Chinese suppliers en masses with a proposal for hugely discounted priced orders (basically just helping them to clear out their stock), and then for all of the suppliers you can organise deals with, then finding buyers at reduced prices to what they would normally pay to get fast, large orders- keeping the difference.

Basically, if everyone in the world is trying to sell masks and sanitisers then trying to also do the same is probably not a great move, and finding alternatives ideas probably will be a better way to do it.
 
Create clickbait titles for traffic or fake news to raise awareness about one of your product or service.
Like "Did you know that COVID 19 can be killed with x?"
x is your product
 
Fair play for seeing the virus as a means to make money, albeit a slightly immoral one. But hey, that's business.

I think do the ship has sailed in terms of selling physical goods such as face masks and hand sanitizer. I think your best bit is to create engaging video content for YouTube and hope that you can monetise it with ads. Perhaps daily updates on the spread of the virus?
