This YouTube video by Freedom Marketer lists 15 business ideas for small towns and rural areas. This is increasingly important in the post pandemic economy, when more people are leaving big cities. The host posts marketing content on his channel, which I will link to. I have my own internet marketing and digital solutions business that can help, too. I’m also a referral partner to Fundwise Capital, which is a network of business lenders hoping to get entrepreneurs started.
