OptionsSwing Inc. Has Created Full-Time Jobs During the Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic surprised the world and froze life in its tracks. Many businesses saw a significant loss of profits and had to fire a large percentage of their employees, if not shut down entirely. OptionsSwing Inc., the financial subscription service that teaches people how to trade intelligently, ended up providing valuable work and creating jobs when they were most needed.

Started by CEO Jason Lee and co-founder Jose Infante, OptionsSwing Inc. has been around for just over a year. Lee used to work for a Fortune 500 company and, at one point in his career, became interested in trading. He made over $400,000 in a year on top of his full-time work. "My friends started asking me to teach them how to trade, and I did that via text. Then, the demand kept on growing, so I decided to start a business around it," says Lee.

OptionsSwing Inc. offers a monthly subscription and a yearly subscription, alongside a top-notch video course. People can learn in real-time by following traders from Monday through Friday. "We want people to have a real understanding of how things work, not just watch videos and read books," the co-founders say.

The company is all about providing unparalleled value. They are a powerful economic generator for their employees and their students, who are getting invaluable financial advice and are on their way to obtaining financial freedom. OptionsSwing Inc. has enjoyed a quick growth not only in terms of their team and students but also in terms of their online presence. They grew by approximately 750 Instagram followers per day after their establishment in August of 2019. Today, the business is followed by more than 160,000 people on Instagram alone, not including LinkedIn, Twitter, and other platforms.

When it comes to the effects of COVID on the business, the leadership team shares openly, "We witnessed millions of people lose work due to the pandemic. They were all searching for another income source that would help them out in a time of need. This need, combined with the drop in the market, was the perfect time to invest. And so, we wanted to empower people with the knowledge and tools to invest confidently. We saw our community grow, so we continued to reinvest in the company by hiring new employees. We were able to provide jobs to them and extra support to our students, so really, it was a win-win."

OptionsSwing Inc. is interested in building a lasting legacy. "We are an educational company, not gurus selling a lifestyle. We never want to stray from what's most important, which is just giving people the necessary knowledge to succeed," the co-founders explain. For those purposes, OptionsSwing Inc. has developed its in-house tools for membership management and customer satisfaction. So far, everything is going well and looks set to continue doing so for the foreseeable future.
