Internet business: ideas for 2017!

In 2017, the Internet business will remain the same profitable niche as before, of course, if you put all your time and effort into it. Efforts "half" business on the Internet does not forgive. Such a working rhythm is a direct way to drain your money. Keep this in mind and start getting acquainted with the most profitable business ideas of 2017 for the Internet.

Traffic arbitrage - what is it ..? And how much does it bring?

This is pure business, because the point is to "buy cheaper - sell more expensive." What will be the commodity? As you understand - traffic, that is, visitors for a specific resource per day of time. All websites need traffic. Even very promoted, because the higher the site traffic, the more profit it brings. So, in 2017, traffic will be needed, as before, but the main thing is that traffic arbitrage, as a direction in the Internet business, is not yet sufficiently busy. The competition here is not as high as, say, among those who sell clothes through online stores, or the same copywriters who literally fight for each customer.

The scheme of such a business is not as complicated as it might seem: you buy (or attract for free) traffic - find someone who will buy it profitably - merge traffic to the buyer's resource.

There are different ways to "extract" traffic:

  • buy on special exchanges, where you can immediately sell it (KupiTraff, Popunder, Wizard TraffStock);
  • receive contextual, banner, teaser advertising through networks;
  • attract visitors to your site, and then through a referral link - merge them to the partner's site;
  • generate traffic from communities in social networks and redirect it.

Further, the received traffic needs to be resold profitably in order to cover your financial costs (if you bought it) or temporary ones (if you “mined” it for free). They pay for the traffic of “affiliate programs” or affiliate programs that can be freely found on the Internet. The more there are, the better. Everyone pays differently, but you can derive an approximate formula that will reflect your possible income: feel free to multiply the amount of money invested in arbitration by two - this is the profit that you can get from this business.

There are still few art-traders yet: someone is afraid of a terrible name, someone is not ready to devote to this business every day, because you need to do it seriously ... In any case, if you were interested in fresh and unhackneyed business ideas of 2017 for the Internet, this option You can give honorable first place.

Dropshipping! Open an online store without goods and a warehouse!

Dropshipping is a direct supply from the manufacturer to the buyer, despite the fact that you will act as an intermediary between them. Mediation is:

  • creating (or renting) a trading platform;
  • placing orders;
  • advising clients.

It turns out that a businessman does not buy goods with his own money and does not look for a warehouse. The product passes, as it were, "past him", but for the fact that he helped to complete the purchase / sale transaction, he receives the difference between the price that the manufacturer set and the price at which the product is sold on its platform.

A typical example of a dropshipping store is modnakasta in Ukraine. There are collected goods of various brands at the best price, but of course, the creators of it "twist" in such a way that they themselves will not be left with anything. But even in this scenario, the cost of clothes is cheaper than in retail stores.

Finding a supplier for your store is not a problem - there are entire databases of suppliers that even offer to use ready-made platforms. For example, www.insales.ru.

Surely you want to get an answer to the burning question - how much does dropshipping bring per month? My friend Angelina has 2 stores (one for clothes, the second for gadgets) and from them she receives a net income of 27,000 rubles per month. If we take not a specific example, but the situation in general, then there are stores that bring in a million or more per month, and there are those that do not make a profit at all. And the latter - 80%. Therefore, opening an online shop using the dropshipping system is not yet a guarantee of stable income. It is not enough to open it - you still need to promote it and win yourself a customer base.

Trading or trading on stock exchanges!

The rating called “Business Ideas 2017” will be incomplete if trading on financial exchanges is not mentioned among the options for online business. This idea will be relevant for any year, since you can always make money on fluctuations in the exchange rate (as well as other assets). The cyclical nature of the market determines its constant changes, which are a source of income for traders: if he correctly predicts their direction, he will make a profit, if not, he will lose his deposit. This is not a casino and not guessing on the coffee grounds! Trading is a science that needs to be learned. You can do it yourself (by studying information on the Internet), or you can do it with the help of brokers (taking training courses from them).

By the way, about brokers. These are intermediaries without which you will not be able to trade. They provide a trading platform through which you enter the market and make trades. Be careful, as there are many scammers among them.

Here is a list of those brokers whose reliability has been tested by time and by real traders:

  • IQ Options;
  • UTRADER;
  • GO Option.

Sometimes it is beneficial to bet on young brokers, as they offer favorable conditions, give a lot of bonuses, and hold promotions. But there is also a risk here - it is not known how long he will last and how his activities will end. Maybe another scam? Especially for our readers, we name a young broker whose decency there is no doubt - this is Bintrader.com. It is up to you to decide which of them to cooperate with ... You can find another broker altogether - not from this list. There are a lot of opinions and tips on the forums of traders, it will also be useful to study them.

How much will you have from the implementation of such a business idea? It depends on:

  • how much you deposit;
  • for what amount will you open a deal;
  • exactly how many deals you will open, with what intensity;
  • what interest on successfully closed transactions the broker pays.

On average, your earnings, depending on the level of training and trading experience, will be as follows:

  1. Professional - 4000-5000 USD in a week (of course, only a few achieve such success and not in one day).
  2. Specialist - 1000-2000 USD during the week.
  3. Beginner - 100-200 USD in a week - already an excellent result.

As with any business, trading involves risks. This is especially important for beginners to keep in mind. The first deposit most often "merges" in 90% of cases. Therefore, be prepared for this, but do not give up - this is your invaluable experience as a trader, which in the future can lead to consistently high earnings.

What to sell to earn income? Business Ideas 2017!

Progress does not stand still, so the article began with the most progressive business ideas that can be implemented via the Internet. Now let's talk about the classics of the genre in business - sales. This niche will always be profitable, as people are constantly selling and buying something. The disadvantage of sales is that there is a lot of competition in this field. But you can find such a “neezzazhenny” assortment that will not have competitors (or rather, there will be almost no, because there is always and everywhere competition, and monopolies have long since sunk into oblivion). You can also pick up the actual product for 2017, which will be especially interesting. Below you will find just such options.

Sale of electronic cigarettes: is there really such a demand for them?

Over the past year, there has been a real boom, which is due to the fact that people massively began to refuse cigarettes and hookahs in favor of electronic cigarettes. Moreover, today it is prestigious and fashionable. If you smoke an electronic cigarette, you are in trend. For young people, the presence of this accessory indicates that you are cool and presentable. Although it's not just about "coolness" - many people just like this thing, so they do not deny themselves pleasure. After all, e-cigarettes are smoked by those who want to quit smoking because they do not contain nicotine.

It is best to focus on an unusual (even souvenir) assortment:

  • vipers (vapor cigarettes);
  • electronic cigarettes with initials and other inscriptions;
  • smoking sticks are a great gift for an office worker who is quitting smoking.

Vipers today are "super" hot goods. To open a store for their sale, it will take in the region from 120 thousand to 150 thousand rubles (not Moscow prices). Such a business idea will pay off in 2-4 months. In the first months, the "dirty" income per month will be about 120 thousand rubles. Subtract the cost of goods from it - about half of the net income will remain. If you have hired a seller and are renting space, then subtract these costs from the remaining amount. But if you continue in the same spirit, then after some period the income can be twice as much. Agree that 200-something thousand rubles is not a bad income per month?

We are establishing supplies of fruits from Southeast Asia!

For some reason, such fruits on the shelves of our supermarkets (meaning ordinary ones) are very rare, although their cost is not so high. Most likely, the shortage of such fruits is due to the fact that it is difficult to establish direct deliveries, since mainly Thais (mostly fruits are imported from Thailand) work with tonnage transportation, the cargo of which starts from 1 ton or more.

You can try to negotiate with them on smaller deliveries. If you succeed, you will be on a horse! Alternatively, you can try buying fruits and berries in Vietnam. Local farmers are less spoiled by the attention of foreign investors (that is, you) and even ordinary tourists, it will probably be easier to negotiate with them.

If wholesale deliveries fail, place ads for a one-time job! There are many forums where Russians who have moved to Thailand or Vietnam sit. They may agree to help their countryman or find a suitable person from the locals. In this case, you will write him a list of fruits - they are stingy - and will transfer the package through the carriers in your name.

You can offer customers the following types of fruits:

  • pattaya;
  • rambutan;
  • coconut;
  • mangosteen;
  • durian;
  • mango;
  • papaya
  • pamela, etc.

All this is a standard set in local markets, which is always in stock. The cost of these fruits per 1 kg in Southeast Asia varies from 35 to 100 rubles. Agree, this is not so much. But taking into account the fact that the dollar has grown several times against the ruble, air travel, and in general, holidays in these countries are no longer affordable for many. But sometimes everyone wants exotics, so your offer in 2017 - buy fruits and berries from Thailand - will be very relevant. Even if you double the price of the product, and then include the cost of transportation and the labor of your intermediary, it will still be more profitable than flying back and forth, and definitely more pleasant than buying weathered fruit in expensive supermarkets.

Entertainment business ideas relevant for 2017!

The further - the more people want "bread and circuses" ... The more comfortable their life is, the more they are willing to spend on entertainment. In principle, despite all the forecasts that were made after the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions, the economy continues to develop, and mass impoverishment of the population is not observed. Therefore, people in 2017 will be ready to pay for holidays and recreation. In this regard, pay attention to the business ideas of 2017 in the field of entertainment.

Vape bar opening!

Although the law does not prohibit smoking electronic cigarettes, including vapes, in public places, their owners still have problems from time to time. For example, not all establishments will meet the desire to smoke with a bang. And this is quite understandable:

  • some of the visitors may not like it, so the institution may lose a client because of you;
  • instead of, for example, smoking a hookah - you can say, come with your smoking tool, again - the institution is at a loss.

That is why a relevant business idea for 2017 will be the opening of a vape bar, where visitors can come with their electronic cigarette and enjoy the atmosphere of your cozy bar, while drinking tea or something stronger, or even cooler - they could come to take you have a vape for rent.

So far, this niche in the business is free. An example of the implementation of such a business idea can so far only be found in megacities (Moscow, St. Petersburg), so the possible profit will be given based on the indicators, so to speak, of metropolitan institutions. So, income and expenses will be as follows:

  1. For a vape bar, where food and drinks will be served (like a cafe), the costs will be 5 million rubles, the monthly profitability will be 700 thousand - 1 million rubles.
  2. For a vape bar like a club of interests, where games and contests will be held, the opening costs will be about 600 thousand rubles, the profitability is 1 million rubles.

Organization of quests on the street and in the room! How to do it?

Quests have appeared in the vastness of Russia since 2014, and the first to open the network of quest rooms "Claustrophobia" were three friends - Kadyrov, Kuznetsov, Kravtsov.

This is an interesting business idea, and a promising one at the same time - cinema and restaurants have long become boring for people, they want an active and outstanding vacation. You can open a quest room in the form of a room of fear, a crime scene, a meeting place with paranormal phenomena, or just a chamber-room from which you “can’t get out”. As an alternative to indoor quests, you can organize outdoor quests.

To open a quest room in a large city, you will need financial injections in the region of approximately 1 million rubles. This is if you started an independent business. Opening franchise quests will cost from 90,000 to 300,000 rubles.

Return of invested money is possible for a period of 1 to 4 months. In the best case, your monthly income will be 500,000 rubles.

Table entertainment club: what to buy for it?

If quest rooms are designed more for the public from 16 to 30 years old, then a wider audience will come to such an institution. This means that there will be more visitors - there will be grandparents with grandchildren, and parents with children, and just entire student or school companies.

All you need is:

  1. Find a room;
  2. Stylize it as a game room (non-boring design, bright colors, comfortable furniture);
  3. Buy board games (monopoly, football, hockey, elias, twister, mafia, lotto, etc.)

Starting capital depends on the "scope" of the club and the city. If this is the capital, then it can be 300,000 rubles, and if it is a province, then 30,000 rubles. One visitor will bring you about 1000-1500 rubles a month by the standards of Moscow and 300-500 rubles by the standards of a small town. The number of visitors per month will depend on your advertising, so you can calculate the monthly income yourself.

Exhibitions: what will we exhibit?

The fact that people were massively attracted to art in 2016 can be judged at least by the record number of visitors to the Serov exhibition. Now we will also talk about exhibitions, but not necessarily paintings. A great business idea would be to organize such exhibitions where people can find someone or buy something.

For example, in big cities, restaurateurs are faced with the idea of ​​finding good chefs. You can arrange a kind of master class exhibition, where chefs will cook their masterpieces in front of the audience and potential employers, and you will receive a good income for organizing this show. Which one?

It will consist of several components:

  • the participation of cooks in the exhibition can cost from 1000 to 2000 r;
  • spectator "tickets" - 200-400 r;

For one such event, you can earn 50-100 thousand rubles. But just keep in mind that before you still need to find an equipped room and advertise the show.

Similar exhibitions can be done among hairdressers, needlewomen, florists and so on. Thus, you will act as an intermediary between the employer and his future employee, and also enable visitors to get aesthetic pleasure.

How much income can you get from anticafe?

The meaning of the anti-cafe is that here people pay not for the food and drinks they buy, but for the time spent. In fact, food is provided free of charge.

The anti-cafe hosts poetry evenings, Mafia games, various master classes, yoga classes, movie screenings, drawing lessons, and more.

Demand for anti-cafe has been growing in recent years. 2017 will not be an exception. Even in large cities there are still not so many of them, let alone small ones ... If you open one anti-cafe in a small town, then it will undoubtedly bring big profits! And by the way, which one?

Bicycle rental - is it profitable? Seasonal Business!

It should be noted right away that this is a seasonal business, however ... The promotion of a healthy lifestyle is doing its job - today there are a lot of people who want to transfer from a car or public transport to a real exercise bike. In 2017, there will definitely be fewer of them ... Therefore, starting somewhere in May (or better in advance - April), you can start preparing for the implementation of a business idea called "bike rental". What will you need?

  • Bicycles;
  • Ammunition;
  • Garage;
  • Maintenance personnel.

The place of the starting point, where they will be concentrated, should be located on a spacious and convenient area for movement: a square, a park, an embankment, a square, large shopping centers. Place your bikes where young people like to relax, as this is exactly your target audience.

Let's talk about expenses. The minimum price of a bicycle for adults that does not fall apart on the go is 10,000 rubles. Ideally, much more. If you start with a minimum, then you need at least 6 pieces of equipment. Plus, add to this the rent of the garage and the salary of employees, if you hire them. These are your costs.

Now about income. If the cost of an hour of skiing is 100-150 rubles, and a day is somewhere around 500-800, then your profit can be from 50 to 100 thousand rubles per month.

Service industry: the most profitable ideas of 2017!

Business ideas of 2017 cannot be left without service business options. On the one hand, this is a more expensive business, since in addition to materials, premises, equipment, you will also have to pay staff. On the other hand, the demand for services never dries up (they are much more needed than entertainment), especially those that will be discussed below.

Point of issue of orders: how to open it?

The point is that you enter into an agreement with online stores, and he delivers orders to your premises for his customers, from where they then pick them up. It is better to locate your office in residential areas - it is there that it is most convenient for people to pick up their parcels. As a rule, the goods are delivered to your point by the "forces" of the partner and for his own money.

In addition to the issuance itself, you can also offer the client the following services:

  • parcel packing;
  • exchange and return of goods;
  • home delivery.

From this you will have additional profit, in addition to the percentage that the online store agrees to pay you.

All you need to implement this business idea is:

  • room;
  • racks;
  • computer with internet;
  • cash machine.

On average, this will cost you 150,000 rubles. A good income for a beginner can be considered 30,000 rubles. The longer your point will function, the more you invest in advertising, the more profitable this business idea will be.

Nail bar is the most profitable option!

Modern business women are always busy, but despite this they manage to look great. In particular, express nail salons or nail bars, as they are also called, help them in this. Usually they are located in large shopping centers and look like this - a manicurist sits at the bar and receives clients without an appointment. Such "islands" of beauty in the shopping center are very visited, because you never know when you will have a free minute ... and even when it appears, the master does not always have the opportunity to take you at that time. Therefore, nail bars have proven to be viable and promising as a business idea over the past few years.

  8. Do not risk in vain, but do not be afraid. Follow the golden mean in decisions.
  9. Do not give up. If your first attempt fails, Try again. But be sure to take into account the experience gained and draw conclusions so as not to step on the same rake twice.
  10. Don't expect instant results. Business develops slowly and gradually, just like children grow up.

1. What business ideas with minimal investment work in 2017

A business idea is the basis of any profitable business. There are commercial ideas that have brought millions of dollars in profits to their creators and continue to work for them to this day. These people started their business from scratch, with only a huge desire to succeed. We talked in detail about how to start your business from scratch in one of the popular articles on our site.

Business ideas for aspiring entrepreneurs do not have to be brilliant insights (although this option is also suitable): it is enough to use ready-made solutions and just start working according to a certain scheme.

In this article, we offer business ideas with minimal investment for residents of a metropolis, small town, village.

Below you will find projects for women, men, students and retirees.

Some business ideas involve working from home, others require your own production or at least a car.

Even in 2017, when some businessmen cease their commercial activities due to a sharp decline in demand, there are niches that, with the right approach, can bring good income.

Business niches relevant in 2017:

  • receiving income through the Internet. (read our article work on the Internet at home without investments);
  • provision of various services to the population;
  • training and consulting;
  • resale of goods through electronic bulletin boards;
  • production of handicrafts under the order.

All the business ideas described in the article are different, but one thing unites them: the lack of large investments at the initial stage.

The amounts that will be spent to open a business vary from 100 to 15,000 rubles ($5-$300).

Agree, almost everyone can find such funds.

At first, the idea of ​​starting your own business with minimal investment of funds (or without them at all) seems unrealistic. To be sure, just read our article on how to open a business without investment.

However, there are many examples when people managed to achieve stable material well-being literally from scratch. These people just realized their original and cost-effective ideas.

2. Why many business ideas fail at the start

The main reasons for failures in a newly created business are, as a rule, of an organizational nature.

In other words, you must have a business plan (we have already detailed how to write a business plan) - a step-by-step guide to action. No matter how small the initial capital is, it must be spent strictly for its intended purpose. If the money ends at the start, this means that a strategic mistake has been made.

The most common reasons why entrepreneurs fail are:

  1. Lack of customer focus. You need to interest your potential client. Starting a business, even a very original and new one, think about how to convey its exclusivity to other people.
  2. Mistakes in cash flow management. Financial illiteracy, abuse of loans and inability to properly allocate available resources ruined the lion's share of young projects.
  3. Lack of purpose. If your business idea does not have a clear goal, it will either not work at all or stall in the process of its implementation. Decide what level of income you want to achieve and what you will do with the initial profits. The best option is to put them into action.
  4. Lack of competent leadership. If more than 1 person is engaged in business, there must be someone who makes decisions.
  5. Procrastination is putting off important business milestones until later. Act now and start from the beginning!
  6. Excessive caution. Unjustified risk will not bring any benefit either, but fear is even more unprofitable for the development of a profitable enterprise. If you constantly wait for the perfect moment to implement your idea, you can spend years waiting for this. As one humorous and at the same time vital phrase says: “If you look at a girl for a long time, you can see how she gets married.” This refers to those who procrastinate and miss a good opportunity because of it.
  7. Lack of persistence. For some aspiring entrepreneurs, the first failure is immediately unsettling. Such people say “it didn’t work” and step aside. This is the wrong strategy. To make sure the idea is viable, you need to test it several times - the more the better. But you need to do this wisely, constantly refining and adjusting the chosen direction. Let's repeat, correcting, and not just doing the same thing in the same way.

If a person repeatedly repeats the same actions, expecting to get a different result, then he can be called insane.

Albert Einstein

And don't expect instant returns from what you think is the most brilliant business plan. Remember that only the most patient and persistent achieve success.

The main criterion for choosing an idea for a business is personal interest in any direction. Ideally, you need to make money on what you love and what you really understand.

In our opinion, a 100% successful business idea in 2017 must meet the following criteria:

  1. Based on what you love. Even the great Steve Jobs said that it is impossible to achieve great results by doing an unloved thing. Since you will quickly leave him if difficult times come, and they will definitely come.
  2. The idea must be in demand by the market. You may love to cross-stitch or learn the language of the Tumba-Yumba tribe, but these activities are unlikely to bring you a lot of income. Even if people are fond of these areas, the amount of money in these market niches is very small. Even without deep analysis, this can be understood. In other words, with the same amount of work and talent, it will be much easier for you to make money selling real estate, building materials or cars than hamster hats, thimbles or decorative fly swatters.
  3. Contain unique benefits. If you choose a niche or a business idea for a future project and do not know how exactly you will stand out from the competition, then such an idea is unlikely to bring a good monetary result. Be sure to think about your competitive advantages. They can be price-based, for example, if you were able to reduce costs by finding a very profitable supplier. Your unique advantages can also be strategic, for example, if you endow your product (service) with unique consumer qualities.
  4. A business idea must comply with legal and moral and ethical standards. You can earn quickly and a lot, but you should think about whether this earnings will be honest. This is a fundamentally important condition when choosing a direction in business. If you do not want to wake up at night from police coming to the house or hear unflattering words from customers addressed to you, do only honest ways to earn money. Do not spoil your karma and sleep peacefully at night. Although, there are definitely people who are not embarrassed by anything. But this is their choice and everyone will eventually be rewarded according to their deeds.

Significant assistance can be provided by education or work experience in a particular field. For example, a plumber can open an online store for plumbing products.

If you enjoy meeting new people, go into the organizational business. Conversely, if interacting with people makes you uncomfortable and feels better when you are alone, take on a home-based business, such as tailoring and mending clothes or technical translations.

Sometimes having a hobby helps to open a business. For example, people involved in aquarium fish can turn their hobby into a source of income - start breeding fish (algae, plankton) for sale.

For beginners, we can give a few more specific tips:

  • you shouldn’t take a large loan from a bank to start a business, especially if you don’t have other sources of permanent income (it’s better to borrow from relatives if you absolutely don’t have your own funds) and if you clearly decide that you need funds to start your own business, then be sure study our article "Where to get money";
  • start small: set specific goals for yourself and complete them consistently;
  • if your business is not Internet-based, but locally oriented, consider whether the income level of potential consumers is sufficient to make your business work (in other words, it is hardly worth opening a luxury clothing store in a village with a population of 5,000 people).

And most importantly - do not be upset if the project did not work: it did not work out now, it will definitely work out on the next try. Experience in entrepreneurial activity is much more important than the availability of start-up capital.

4. Ideas for a business with minimal investment - TOP 15 best business ideas

And now, concrete ideas for those who want to start working for themselves and make a profit today. Let's say right away that you also need to be able to use ready-made projects and ideas. Each option must be considered and compared with specific realities.

If you have little experience in business or you are just about to start your own business, check out our selection of business ideas for beginners.

Business idea 1. Resale of things on Avito

Avito is the most popular free ads site in Russia. Thousands of purchase and sale transactions are made here every day: some people buy the goods they need, others successfully sell this goods.

Where big money is circulating, intermediaries are needed. It is not at all necessary to sell your own things: you can search for buyers and sell other people's things to them, while receiving good interest for your services.

Why is it relevant? Many people want to sell something they don't need but don't know how to do it or don't have enough time to do it. In addition, there are sites where you can buy goods cheaply in bulk, and then sell them at retail at a favorable price for you.

If you want to thoroughly understand how to make a profit on Avito and even build a business on it, check out our article “How to make money on Avito”.

In fact, most stores are engaged in intermediary activities. In this case, you will not need to pay money for renting a warehouse or retail space: all your activities will take place in the Internet space.

You will still have to organize the delivery of goods to the client - but there are already well-established schemes for this: you can use the services of mail or delivery services. If things go uphill, you can think about creating your own online store.

Business idea 2. Organizing a holiday agency

Setting up your own holiday and event agency is one of the easiest ways to start your own business. People celebrate birthdays, corporate parties and weddings and will always celebrate, despite crises and other cataclysms.

Your task is to help them organize a holiday. You can specialize exclusively in children's parties: the children's audience is less demanding, and it is easier to cheer a child than an adult.

The holiday agency sells services that cannot be touched, so the main criterion is professionalism. First you need to hold 5-10 events at a high level, after which you will definitely be noticed and recommended to your friends. The presence of advertising on the Internet and the media does not hurt, but the benefits of word of mouth should not be neglected. Satisfied customers will recommend you to each other.

Business idea 3. Advertising agency as a business for beginners

A small advertising agency may consist of 2-3 people and does not require large investments at the initial stage. All you need is creative ideas for advertising and a decent level of computer design basics.

Our good friend - Evgeny Korobko opened his advertising agency from scratch and is now successfully developing it. Zhenya quit his job when the income from his small advertising business exceeded his salary.

For starters, the office of an advertising agency can be organized at home: it does not matter where exactly you receive and implement applications from clients. All the initial capital that you have can be fully invested in the advertising of your advertising agency (no matter how paradoxical it may sound): the very first normal orders will recoup the money spent with a vengeance.

It is better not to save on the means of production - a computer, a scanner, a printer - all equipment should be the most modern. It is not necessary to create a full-fledged staff: now there are a lot of freelance artists (freelancers) who will design an advertising layout or create a corporate identity for a minimal fee. At the final stage, the main thing is the search for orders.

Again, if you correctly use the worldwide network, there will be no shortage of clientele.

Experts in this matter believe that the most profitable advertising industry is creativity: the creation of original ideas, slogans, logos, layouts and banners. You can set the prices for your services yourself. The main indicator of success is the steady growth in the value of the information product you create and the number of its sales over a period, for example, per month.

Business idea 4. Organization of the “husband for an hour” service

The “Husband for an Hour” service is especially in demand in medium and large cities, where there is a large number of busy people, and even for men, not to mention women, it will be important to use the services of private masters of all trades.

No initial investment - only advertising. The main condition is professionalism. Can you quickly install a switch, fix a faucet, repair household appliances, wiring and plumbing? Then this is your business.

It is better, of course, to have your own car in order to arrive at the call as soon as possible.

If you are a good organizer, you can not deal with the implementation of repair and domestic work directly, but coordinate them. It is necessary to organize a network of employees (narrow specialists in a particular area) and distribute calls between them, taking into account the specifics of work and territorial criteria.

Specialists of such a service can be both generalists and specialists in a certain field: electrician, plumbing, finishing work.

We have one friend, his name is Evgeny, who opened such a service in the city of Stavropol, at first he worked on his own, then he began to hire people. Now he has a demanded and stable business.

Business idea 5. Cargo transportation

The organization of cargo transportation is a promising direction, since the need for such services is constantly growing. This is due, among other things, to the development of Internet commerce. Goods purchased by customers need to be delivered, and preferably as soon as possible.

For starters, you can open a small transportation agency in your hometown. You do not even need to have your own fleet of vehicles for the actual transportation. It is enough to find customers for your services and agree with car owners on the price of the transportation itself.

Thus, you organize your dispatch service, which, as an intermediary, earns on the resale of consumer requests (a person or company that wants to transfer goods) to the contractor (owner of the vehicle).

We know a guy, his name is Denis, who first worked as a hired driver on a gazelle for a year, and then bought his own gazelle and started making money on it. Now, 4 years later, he has almost 20 cars, which he gradually took out on credit and put the same hired drivers on them.

How Denis' scheme for cargo transportation works in numbers

Let's look at the example of one car that was taken on credit.

Monthly loan payment of 15,000 rubles + 25,000 rubles driver's salary + fuel and lubricants and depreciation of 12,000 rubles.

Total: costs per car: 62,000 rubles per month.

Revenue from one car at an hourly cost of 400 rubles, per day with a 10-hour working day and an average car load of 7 hours a day 25 days a week is 400 * 7 * 25 = 70,000 rubles.

It turns out that the profit is equal to: REVENUE 70,000 rubles minus COSTS 62,000 rubles = 8,000 rubles.

*All calculations here are taken as approximate and may not reflect the full picture regarding the specifics of this business.

Again, this final profit figure is obtained if you took a car on credit.

Profit will be either minimal or almost zero. After the loan for the car is paid off and it becomes your full property, the profitability (profit) from this transport unit will increase significantly.

The scope for growth in this area is unlimited.

2) Small town business ideas

Business ideas for a small town have their own specifics. You can make money in small towns on the simplest and most sought-after things. But what if the population of your city is between 10,000 and 100,000 people? Answer below.

Business idea 6. Breeding and selling animals

If you are the owner of a private house and love the animal world, you can start breeding animals for sale. First, of course, you need to decide which animals you will breed - guinea pigs, dogs, cats, newts, hamsters. The main criterion is the availability of a market for implementation. By the way, thoroughbred dogs and cats with a good pedigree cost tens of thousands of rubles.

Organizing a pet nursery as a business is a good idea to start in a small town or even a village (village).

If you look more broadly and get the relevant knowledge (education) and documents, you can grow into a veterinary clinic and at least open a store selling pet food and related products.

You can also breed rabbits. They reproduce fairly quickly and sell well.

Depending on the size and breed, the price of a live rabbit ranges from 800 rubles ($15) to 4,500 rubles ($65).

If everyone in your city loves boxer dogs, do business with them. Of course, the case requires a preliminary study of all the nuances. It is advisable to talk to a veterinarian about the most common problems when breeding animals of a particular breed.

Business idea 7. Shoe repair and key making

In many cities, including small ones, there are shoe repair shops. If you are not embarrassed to work with your hands and deal with sticky kosha, stuffing heels and replacing zippers on women's boots, then you may well organize such a point in your locality. All you need for this is a room of 5 square meters, a couple of racks, a tool and the ability to engage in this type of activity.

Also, do not forget to officially register as an individual entrepreneur, so as not to have problems with the authorities. Becoming an individual entrepreneur is simple, for this, study our article “how to open an IP”.

The shoe repair and key making business is often combined into one place due to the similarity of working conditions.

And if there is a crisis in the country, then this is only to your advantage. Under such conditions, people spend less on new shoes and prefer to repair old ones, if possible. If you know how and love to work with your hands and want to be your own boss, this business is for you.

Business idea 8. Private cosmetologist (hairdresser, makeup artist)

To provide the services of a make-up artist, hairdresser, skin, nail and body care specialist, it is not necessary to rent a room and open a SPA-salon with expensive equipment and a lot of employees.

You can cut people's hair and do makeup at home - the main thing is that you know how to provide these services with high quality. Many women prefer to use the services of a home (almost personal) hairdresser - while cooperation sometimes lasts for years.

Having gained a client base, you can have a constant income, without exaggeration, throughout your life. After all, this service is required with a certain frequency by your customers.

Working from home as a private beauty master, you can provide the following services:

  • haircut and hair coloring;
  • manicure;
  • pedicure;
  • wedding hairstyle and make-up;
  • sale of related products (shampoos, gels, varnishes).

Working as a private master, you can become a full-fledged stylist in the future or open your own beauty studio.

Business idea 9. Tutoring

Good tutors for many students and schoolchildren are worth their weight in gold. This private education business is suitable for professionals in any field.

The services of such a plan are especially in demand in the season before entering universities.

How do customers find out about you? You can advertise in the local newspaper, on television, through the Internet. And the best way to find customers is by talking directly with students or students. For example, most teachers in schools work part-time as tutors before leaving school (graduation class) or vice versa, before entering an educational institution in preparation for entrance exams.

A good tutor earns good money in an hour: at the same time, you can work at home or remotely via Skype. In this case, your customer market is unlimited. We will tell you more about making money using Skype below in the article.

Private lessons are not necessarily science education. You can teach people to play the guitar, cross-stitch and weave beaded bracelets. If you know how to do something very well, why not teach it to others for an appropriate reward?

Business idea 10. Opening a canteen

This business idea is relevant not only in 2017, but at all times.

In small towns, as a rule, there are interruptions in catering establishments. Opening a canteen where delicious and home-style food will help to resolve this issue for the benefit of the owner and customers. It is not necessary to immediately open a large dining room for 50-100 seats: 5 cozy tables are enough for a start.

The main thing is to keep the brand and cook really tasty. Such activities as individual entrepreneurship are formalized - the only initial costs are: renting a room, purchasing products. Analysts believe that this segment of the market in small towns is very profitable, especially if you have reliable staff and thoughtful serais.

In any even a small town, there are people who want to eat a delicious meal for reasonable money, a full meal with the first and second, and not run around the shops hoping to quickly “intercept” something edible.

Such a business idea will be in demand both in a large and in a small city, where well-known catering chains are practically not represented, and this will reduce competition for you.

3) Business ideas at home

In this section, we have prepared ideas for those who wish to work not themselves without leaving home. Now the idea of ​​a home business, including making money on the Internet, is gaining popularity every day.

Business idea 11. Making crafts at home (hand-made)

If you know how to make dolls, funny animals, wood products that children like and not only, organize a hand-made business at home and sell your products through the same Avito or a specialized website. Hundreds of people are already doing this and making a profit.

Once we interviewed a girl who earns money in this way and lives with us in the city of Stavropol. And it all started as a hobby. To learn more about how to turn your creative talents into real money, read "How to make money on needlework" - an interview with Anna Belan, founder of the creative studio "SUZORAMI".

The exclusive has always been valued, and if you really approach the creation of crafts at home with a soul, you can earn several thousand dollars and at the same time teach other people this craft for money.

Business idea 12. Opening a home web studio

The latest Internet technologies will bring stable profits if used correctly. Do you have experience in creating websites, Internet applications, or do you know how to properly promote network resources in search engines? If so, then you should create your own web studio.

The need of the population to create their own Internet sites is constantly growing - why not take advantage of this demand? By opening your own web studio, you will work exclusively for yourself and, in addition, do what you love.

We ourselves have been creating websites for about 3 years and have written a detailed article on how to make money on creating custom websites.

Starting this business at home, over time, you can expand the enterprise and become the head of your own IT company, and entrust the creation of websites, online stores and selling pages to freelancers or full-time employees.

Business idea 13. Skype training and consultations

The Internet has destroyed borders between states and distances between cities. Now you can teach others without leaving your home. Skype and other methods of Internet communication allow you to give lessons and consultations regardless of location.

Using Skype, you can carry out the following types of commercial activities:

  • teach everyone who wants to learn foreign languages ​​(unless, of course, you are a specialist);
  • give legal advice;
  • consult clients as a psychologist or psychotherapist;
  • educate people about entrepreneurship;
  • to guess, to make horoscopes.

The possibility of distance learning is beneficial for the teacher and the student - no one wants to spend time and money on movement. Any skills and knowledge are now within walking distance - 20 years ago one could only dream of such opportunities.

Now a very popular direction has become work on the Internet, including using Skype. If you have competencies that can be sold remotely, you can travel and work at the same time. And this lifestyle is the dream of millions of people around the world.

Business idea 14. Creating a profitable website on the Internet

This is one of the most profitable and promising business ideas of 2017, the relevance of which will only grow in the coming years. Having your own website is a great opportunity to get a steady income in automatic mode. To understand how it works, read our article "how to create passive income".

If your network resource is popular and well promoted in search engines, then simply by placing contextual advertising and banners on it, you can have a stable and very considerable profit.

We already wrote above that our site HiterBoyor.ru is a vivid example of such a profitable site.

If you are truly passionate about information technology, then creating your own website (blog) can become for you both an additional source of income and the main one.

Your visited site will simultaneously solve several problems for you:

  • to form your personal brand and the status of an expert in any niche;
  • bring you profit on a regular basis as a store, cafe or other offline business;
  • motivate you to learn, develop and learn new things;
  • develop talents in different areas: copywriting, management, marketing, negotiation (when working with advertisers).

If you are interested in the topic of creating a site in order to make money on it, leave comments on the article with your questions.

Business idea 15. Home studio - tailoring and repairing clothes

Sewing and repairing clothes at home, like repairing shoes, can become your home business during a crisis.

If you can't buy an expensive item in a boutique, why not alter or refurbish used clothes for a lower price? You do not need to pay rent for a home studio: you just need to launch an advertisement for your business.

We have a friend who works at home and is engaged in sewing dresses, including wedding dresses, and earns more than the average salary in our city.

To open a home atelier, you only need your skills, a sewing machine and a desire to work.

This concludes our list of popular business ideas. We will be glad if you choose the right one for yourself and build your successful business on its basis.

5. A real example of a successful business idea (our experience)

We will not go far, an original and successful business idea is our website HiterBober.ru, where you are now.

How this business idea was born, how much profit the project (startup) brings now, on what types of advertising it earns, you can find out from our article about making money on advertising on the Internet.

6. 3 legendary business ideas that changed the world

The 3 business projects below most effectively and clearly show how an original idea that seemed to lie on the surface can work:

  1. Amazon.com. The creation by American entrepreneur Jeffrey Bezos of the Amazon virtual online store, in the image and likeness of which hundreds of other chain stores now operate, has changed the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bsales via the Internet. Like many successful companies today, Amazon was located in a garage. Its founder brought in talented programmers from the Silicon Valley to create the project, and thanks to his entrepreneurial talent and customer focus, he became one of the greatest businessmen in history. If you are considering opening an online store as a business idea, then study our article “how to open your online store” - this is a step-by-step instruction from practitioners in their field.
  2. Atari electronic game company. The creation of the first electronic game and video game company Atari by Nolan Bushnell in 1972 marked the beginning of this mass industry. Now electronic games have filled the world. WarCraft, Counter-Strike, Quake, Heroes, StarCraft, World of Tanks and many other popular computer games today owe their origin to those distant times, when personal computers were just a big dream of mankind.
  3. Making diapers. In the middle of the 20th century, Victor Mills, an employee of Procter & Gamble, invented the now world-famous disposable diaper consumer product, thereby making a real revolution in the consumer goods market. Now this product seems so ordinary to millions of families. But in the distant 60s of the last century, it was something like a manned flight into space. Now, thanks to the well-known brand Pampers, all diapers have become known as “pampers”, although this is only the name of the brand, and not the product itself.

In fact, there are more than three legendary business ideas that have changed the world. Hundreds and even thousands of people have used their talent, intelligence and imagination to make the world as we know it.

Analyze your abilities and talents, find what you like to do. Maybe the next person who will change the world is you!

How to choose the right business idea before starting your own business and where to start

Over time, more and more people are starting to think about how to open a business with minimal investment. Some business ideas are already on the surface, while others will require a little ingenuity and enough time to find them. But with all the variety of business ideas for novice startups, not everyone can be implemented. When thinking about taking an idea on the Internet, you need to be prepared for the fact that this idea itself may turn out to be a failure, and here's why.

The thing is that each case is unique and different people may need a different set of tools to implement the same idea. Here, one should also take into account the geographical factor, the state of the market at a given time, and the capabilities of a startup. But regardless of the specific business idea, there are several stages that everyone must go through. These stages include: analyzing the psychology of competitors, choosing a niche, calculating start-up capital and taking into account possible risks that always accompany any business. But first things first.

No. 1. Analysis of the psychology of clients

The first and most important axiom for anyone who plans to open their own profitable business will be that "the customer is always right." No one talks about extremes and rudeness, but in the vast majority of cases, it is the client who is the one thanks to whom the business, in principle, exists. In this context, the client is a collective image, personifying both a single retail buyer and a large company ordering a work or service. Therefore, it is very important to establish relations with the client from the very first day and build them in such a way that they are effective both for him and for the businessman.

The key to establishing such connections will be the study of the psychology of the client, at least at the initial level. The psychology of the client is how the client will reason when making a decision to purchase a product and what points he will pay attention to in the first place.

Well-known marketers and sales specialists in business communication are advised to adhere to the basic rules: a trusting atmosphere, sensitivity and the gift of persuasion. All this together creates a positive impression and instills in a person a feeling of comfort and satisfaction. After all, if you listen to the wishes of a person, sincerely enter into his situation and understand what he needs, the client will surely return again, and more than once.

No. 2. Choosing an actual income niche

Choosing a niche for business and answering the question " what business to open?” is the key to the future success of the campaign, and the economic efficiency of the business will directly depend on the correctness and thoughtfulness of such a choice. What is a niche?

A niche in business presents some kind of “problem” that needs to be solved. It can be an industry that objectively has good prospects for development, it can be a product or service that society needs or a direction that is currently the most developed. Choosing a niche entails a time-consuming process, which should consist of such stages as: careful study of the market, competition in a particular industry, market conditions.

In other words, before you invest in any small business ideas, you need to be sure that it " burn out". The market does not need companies that have many competitors, and those that can offer better conditions, especially if they are located in a small city. Only a large company can compete with such "long-livers", and for a novice entrepreneur it is better to opt for something that is not yet on the market.

Before choosing the direction of your activity, you will need to answer three main questions:

  • Is the offer or product interesting to a certain circle of potential consumers targeted by the entrepreneur?
  • Why should people choose this particular company? How will it differ from those already on the market?
  • What are the disadvantages of the chosen business idea?

Only if the entrepreneur can answer all these questions and objectively look at himself from the outside, it will be possible to make a decision to start economic activity.

No. 3. Start-up capital

To implement any idea need start-up capital. The amount can be different, but often it greatly exceeds that which you can simply spend as you wish. There are no such enterprises that would not require the investment of a certain amount of funds, and often even the most modest business project turns out to be very costly.

It is better to take your own money for start-up capital - it can be savings or a bank account. But even if you don’t have your own funds, there are several ways how this very capital can be obtained:

Option number 1. Bank loan

Now many banks offer such a service as a business loan. With all the attractiveness of the idea, it should be remembered that even if something goes wrong, you still have to repay the bank. Therefore, it is advisable to take the amount that, in a high degree of probability, can be painlessly returned.

Option number 2. Friends and acquaintances

Alternatively, you can borrow money from acquaintances or friends - unlike a bank, here you can do without interest. As a nice bonus, you can promise your friends some permanent discount on your product. Despite the close relationship, it will be correct to write a receipt that the money will be returned within the agreed time frame.

Option number 3. Investors

With investors, the situation is more complicated, since, as a rule, they are already adults with rich life experience and they will not invest their money in any first idea. To get help from investors, you will need to work hard to create a detailed and competent business plan, which will clearly indicate when and under what conditions they will be able to return the invested funds, as well as receive the agreed profit (sharing).

No. 4. Risks when starting your own business

There are always risks. It doesn't matter if it's a small business or a large project. At any time, force majeure circumstances may arise, which can lead to the most adverse consequences. That is why risks must be taken into account at all times and in any situation.

In order to calculate all possible risks, you should draw up a SWOT matrix, which will reflect in great detail all possible risks. The matrix contains the columns “Weaknesses” and “Threats”, and all this together will indicate the main risks that exist in the campaign. To learn more about the possible risks, you should spare no expense and draw up a detailed business plan or contact a consulting/marketing agency where professionals will deal with the situation. But in this way, it will be possible to protect yourself from many unpleasant surprises that the novice businessman did not even suspect.

And if a few years ago, many sincerely did not understand why they needed their own website, or at least a page on the Internet, today, this has already become obvious.

The ideal option for implementing such a business idea would be the fact if the entrepreneur himself is an excellent specialist in the IT field and understands the entire internal mechanism for the functioning of such a project. As for the prices for their services, let them be modest for a start, because at first, the main emphasis is on the quality of the service.

This is especially true for cakes for children, who often pay more attention to the appearance of the cake, rather than its taste.
  • Availability of free time. You can always manage your own time and free up that part of the day that is needed for household or personal affairs.

Business idea number 4. Coffee to go

According to the statement Euromonitor International people are consuming more and more coffee every year. Most likely, this is due to the fact that the very attitude of consumers towards this drink has changed: now the culture of coffee consumption is developing and, very soon, the coffee ceremony will be given as much attention as tea.

A small business "coffee to go" is now almost everywhere. In any city, walking down the street, you can find small kiosks with a sign "Coffee to go" or "Coffee to go". The idea is simple: a person is late, he does not have time to go to an ordinary coffee shop and order a cup of coffee, so he will happily grab a coveted glass of his favorite drink on the go. The price of coffee is low, but there are a lot of people, and therefore, starting with one kiosk, you can increase their number over time.

Another type of “coffee to go” service is a small counter in a shopping center or business center. Yes, in order to be profitable later, at first you will have to spend money on renting a room and purchasing expensive equipment, but soon such a small project will begin to bring the first profit. Also, over time, it will be possible to expand the line of drinks, as well as offer people different types of coffee.

Business idea number 5. Intermediary services (work at interest)

Every day many people want buy something or sell something, but they do not have the time and desire to spend several hours looking for an acceptable option. Unfortunately, brokering is mostly real estate and/or cars, so it's important to get really serious about product features, but it's one of the few ideas that can start from scratch with no money. The coverage, of course, is not limited to finding an apartment or a car, but by definition, it must be something expensive. Otherwise, people will not be psychologically ready to pay commissions for finding a product that is not very significant.

This also includes people who work in partnership with companies, finding customers for them and receiving a percentage of each successful transaction. At the first stage of work at home, you will need a computer with the Internet, a mobile phone and a great desire to earn money. Add here the readiness for the first failures, perseverance and routine work. But, if over time, you manage to develop useful business contacts and the ability to convince, then this can turn out to be quite a profitable occupation. Mediation services are a clear example of how to start working for yourself.

Business idea number 6. Start a channel on YouTube

As happened with many similar resources, Youtube was originally created so that users could watch interesting videos, or upload their own videos. But over time, when information technology has developed to the limit, and such a concept as “SMM marketing” can now be heard at every step, YouTube has become a tool for making money.

Now there are millions of channels on YouTube, some of which have absolutely no semantic load. But at the same time, there are also very interesting authors who introduce their viewers to something new, while simultaneously earning money for themselves.

There are 3 main ways that lead to channel monetization:

  • Participation in affiliate programs
  • Annotation writing.
  • Direct employers

Partnership programs- this is a tool for earning when a YouTube partner company starts paying for clicks. To do this, you need the channel to have more than 10 thousand views. To become a member of the program, you need to fill out an application for participation, after which the partner company starts paying for clicks. For example: for every 3,000 views, a company can pay about $100. Accordingly, the more promoted the channel, the more money its owner can receive.

Annotation writing. Writing annotations consists in preparing some advertising text for the company, after which this text is inserted into the description of the video. The subscriber clicks on the link and goes to the customer's website, where he can choose and order a specific product or service.

Cooperation with direct employers, in the format of master classes that show how a product of the company works (how to use it). In this case, the product belongs to the company - the advertiser, which pays money to the author of the video. These can be household appliances, products, things, inventory, etc.

Business idea number 7. Real estate services

One of the most specific ways to earn money is a real estate organization. To make a business profitable, you need to understand the nuances of this activity very well. The process of real estate trading itself requires knowledge of law, the housing code, the ability to work with large financial flows, and also gain an excellent reputation.

To make the work of a real estate agency as efficient as possible, you need to be a good manager and understand people well. The most important thing in the work of a realtor is a competent, qualified staff, which consists of agents, sales managers and lawyers. For each successful transaction, the real estate organization receives a profit, which is then divided between the participants in the transaction process.

To recruit clients, a real estate company must invest heavily. This is the premises that will be the "face of the company", and good, high-quality advertising, and services at the highest level. After all, when selling or buying an apartment, a person works with very large amounts of money, and in order to entrust this business to an intermediary (in this case, a realtor), you will need to be able to make an extremely favorable impression on a person.

The only disadvantage of the real estate business is that earnings will not be constant, because profit directly depends on the number of successful transactions. And the real estate market, as you know, can sometimes go through very difficult times.

China is an amazing country that offers many different products, and most importantly - at a very low price. There are many business ideas that involve buying goods in China and selling them at a higher price. Many relevant, popular and interesting business ideas with minimal investment are related to the sale of goods from China, where every newcomer can build his business from scratch.

A feature of such a business is that the person who is engaged in this business is well versed in cars. Without serious practical skills, it makes no sense to start doing this business - at best, you can "go to zero", at worst - lose all your money.

As for legal registration, it is possible to formalize activities as an individual entrepreneur or.

The holding of events has recently turned into a separate line of activity, called "event - management". The essence of such a business is to take on the work of organizing various formats of events. Small companies are engaged in organizing one type of holidays, large ones can specialize in several varieties at once.

The most popular at present are corporate parties and weddings, but for starters, you can start with ordinary birthdays, anniversaries and children's parties.

The initial capital for organizing an event agency will need a decent one, since it is unlikely that anyone will go to order a celebration in a company whose office is located outside the city in a room with an area of ​​​​4 square meters. meters. In addition to the cost of renting an office, you will also need to hire qualified personnel, find hosts, food suppliers, catering companies, and also purchase equipment.

The project itself is quite complex, so the business of organizing and holding events will begin to pay off no earlier than in 1.5-2 years.

What business is relevant now - TOP 5 profitable ideas

Option number 1. Construction and repair work

Carrying out construction and repair work can be quite a profitable business, especially if you approach it wisely. Despite the economic downturn, most people still decide to renovate. Repairs will not necessarily be major, it will be enough to make a small cosmetic one - but for a construction company this will also be a certain income.

Before entering the market, you need to decide whether the company will be diversified or will it specialize in a specific list of services. This can be the installation of plastic windows or metal doors, laying tiles, parquet, glazing balconies or facade cladding.

A mandatory minimum is the availability of mobile communications and a personal car, since orders can be in different parts of the city and traveling by car will be much faster and more convenient. Here you also need to add the purchase of construction equipment, such as a concrete mixer, a hammer drill, drills, a screwdriver and other tools.

Option number 2. Installation of low-voltage systems

This business idea has every chance of becoming a profitable project, but this requires one important condition - in this case, it is simply vital to have experience and deep theoretical and practical knowledge.

The very concept of "low-voltage systems" is quite capacious and covers the installation of a local network, the Internet, video surveillance and alarm systems, as well as television, telephony and radio broadcasting. It will not be difficult for an experienced electrician-installer to understand all these tasks, and in fact, the more types of work a person can perform, respectively, the more income he can receive.

To organize your work in the most thoughtful way, it is recommended to issue an IP. After registering with government agencies, you will need to purchase a stamp with your details and name, open a bank account, hire an accountant who will work on a piece-rate basis, and also obtain a license to carry out certain activities, whether it is installing intercoms or wiring.

Having collected at least a small customer base and completed the first few orders at a high level, it will be possible to easily recoup the funds that were spent on registration procedures.

Option number 3. precious metals

At the moment, anyone can purchase, at their discretion, one of the four types of precious metals. Precious metals include gold, silver, platinum and palladium. For the convenience of the client, several main ways of “working” with precious metals are offered: these are measured bars, bullion coins and OMS (impersonal metal account).

Ingots can be bought, and after a certain amount of time, resold back. But there are several nuances: the bank, before buying an ingot from a citizen, very carefully and meticulously checks its [ingot] condition. In addition, the purchase price by the bank differs significantly from the sale price, which also cannot but affect the feasibility of such an investment.

OMS is much more convenient in this regard. The essence of an impersonal metal account is to acquire a certain amount of gold, but not to get it on hand. It will simply be reflected in grams on an individual metal account, and this metal will just as well be bought or resold over time at a higher price.

The most inefficient in this situation are investment moments. The fact is that the price for them rises extremely rarely, and if this happens, it is usually a very long and slow process. Therefore, in order to significantly earn on the sale of investment coins, you need to know the coin market perfectly.

Option number 4. City tours

Another interesting opportunity to earn money is to start organizing city tours. Before launching a project, you need to carefully “probe” the market, study competitors and find out which routes are most in demand among people. The result of this approach is qualitatively new tourist routes, which will surely be of interest to the most inquisitive tourists.

For example, you can study the direction of "green tourism", the essence of which is immersion in nature - it can be hiking, cycling or horseback riding tours, there is really a lot of room for imagination.

After the direction is determined, it will be necessary to study the competitors, draw up a detailed business plan, recruit employees (at least 2-3 people for the first time) and make an interesting advertisement.

If you put your heart, soul and knowledge into this business, then soon it will begin to bear the first fruits.

Option number 5. Organization of quests

Recently, quests have become increasingly popular among the population, and moreover, this type of recreation attracts not only young people, but also people of a more mature age. The reason for such a high popularity is most likely the sharpness of emotions and realistic conditions. Tired of the daily routine, people try to break free, feel like a living person, and besides, everyone wants to reach the end.

There are a huge number of varieties of quests, but they can be conditionally divided into three types in the venue: in quest rooms, in the city, and also in nature. The plot of the game may be different, but the essence is the same: players are given a task that they will have to complete.

In order for quests to become a profitable business, you will need to do the following: determine the format of the game, issue an IP, purchase all the necessary props and hire several staff members. It is safe to say that the key to the success of quests is an interesting and exciting scenario, so the team must have a talented screenwriter, as well as a person who knows how to implement all the planned details of the game in life.

With a thoughtful approach, the organization of the quest becomes a truly successful, commercial enterprise.

What kind of business is profitable to open in a small town and not burn out

What kind of business can be opened with minimal investment in a small town: TOP-6 ideas for starting a small business

1. Open a mini-bakery

A mini-bakery is a great solution for those who want to turn their hobby into a profitable business, although this will require a lot of effort. Modern realities dictate their conditions, the toughest of which is high competition in the market, especially in big cities. According to the most conservative estimates, opening your own bakery will cost about 90-100 thousand dollars, most of which will go to renting premises, obtaining permits and purchasing equipment for baking. The average payback period for a business is 4-6 years.

The premises for the bakery must comply with all sanitary standards, have running water, a bathroom, sewage and ventilation systems, a warehouse for storing raw materials, and two separate workshops: for baking and for packaging. The biggest expense item is the selection of equipment. At first, you can get by with the most necessary, but to expand the range, you will eventually have to purchase more modern automated equipment, which costs about 35-70 thousand dollars.

The key to the success of the campaign to open a bakery is strict adherence to technology, the selection of qualified personnel and determination and patience. An important stage is also the sale of bakery products. You can use two options: sell products to wholesalers or sell them on your own, and in the latter case, more problems fall on the shoulders of the entrepreneur, but the income remains with him.

2. Tattoo services

The services of a tattoo artist require certain knowledge, experience and significant investments. To begin with, you should decide whether it will be a tattoo studio only, or perhaps they will also sell related products in the form of various additional accessories. On average, to start, you will need about 5-6 thousand dollars for the most necessary. This includes rent, a couple of tattoo machines and getting licenses.

According to Russian law, tattoo parlors must be designed as a treatment room, which means that this requires permission from Rospotrebnadzor, the Fire Inspectorate and local authorities. All employees working in a tattoo parlor must have valid medical books and undergo regular medical examinations. There must be an employee with a medical education in the state who gives permission for the procedures. You can, of course, arrange a salon as an individual entrepreneur, then before performing the procedure, you will need to refer a person to a third-party specialist (for example, to a clinic), and then proceed to fulfill the order.

The success of the entire salon as a whole (after obtaining all permits, of course) directly depends on talented craftsmen who perfectly understand what clients want from them, so the most important thing is a well-chosen staff. But, since the tattoos themselves often cost decent money, opening such a salon will pay off in a short time.

3. Private kindergarten or club

To open a private kindergarten, you will need to go through several basic steps:

  • State registration. A non-state preschool institution is registered with the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation.
  • Room selection. In this case, it is best to rent a room where a kindergarten was once located, as this will guarantee that it will be possible to obtain all the necessary permits. On average, the cost of the premises, including the installation of fire alarms, utilities and repairs will cost about 15-18 thousand dollars. The same amount will have to be spent on equipping the kindergarten, including children's furniture, stationery and educational toys. Also add here the costs of arranging a catering unit, a bathroom, a medical office, as well as the salaries of employees - you get a very decent amount.

4. Services of a private driving instructor

Since every year there are more and more on the streets of the city, but, unfortunately, there are less and less competent drivers. In view of the current situation, recently more and more people are turning to private driving instructors for help. Here is the answer to the question “What kind of business to do with minimal investment?” The main reason for this phenomenon can be called a person's fear of driving, especially if he has no driving experience.

From the point of view of the development of this direction in business, you can go in two ways: deal with clients on your own, or open your own company, the main activity of which will be driving training.

You need to start with thoughtful advertising. To do this, you can make a small website or create your own page in the blog format. There you can post interesting articles on automotive topics, give advice on proper driving, and maintain constant communication with readers. Only after that, when it is possible to convince potential clients of their competence and professionalism, it will be possible to take the first clients, who, if everything suits them, will be happy to recommend the instructor to everyone they know. The most effective advertising in this business is positive recommendations. And of course, you need deep theoretical and practical knowledge of traffic rules, as well as a decent driving experience.

5. Sale of small animals

To engage in this type of activity, you first need to love animals and have at least basic animal care skills. As a rule, the scheme of this business is simple: there are thoroughbred representatives of the fauna, they are brought together with other purebred "brethren", and the resulting cubs are subsequently sold, earning good money for this. Therefore, before you start, you need to decide who exactly to breed and sell. It can be: cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, parrots, fish and other animals.

It is best to sell small animals in thematic groups or on specialized sales sites. Registration for this type of activity is needed only if a certificate and a passport certifying the purity of origin are provided for each pet.

6. Sale of auto parts

Many people have cars, and almost every person, at least once in their life, has encountered a breakdown of their iron horse. Then the run begins through workshops and service centers in search of the necessary parts. Sometimes the prices for spare parts can be very high (especially for expensive and rare cars), sometimes some components cannot be found at all. In light of events like this, the idea of ​​starting a car parts business seems to make a lot of sense.

There are three directions in this business: spare parts for domestic, European and Asian cars - you need to choose a profile. Next, you need to consider in what format the store will operate: whether it will be an online store or an actual room where you can come and see.

The specifics of the business is such that the automotive market is full of competitors, which means that you need to enter a niche either with a rich assortment of products, or at reduced prices, without sacrificing quality. You also need to be well versed in cars, otherwise it makes no sense to open a point of sale.

Business ideas 2019 that are not in Russia: TOP-4 of the best abroad

Many entrepreneurs borrow ideas for their new business from abroad. The main thing here is to adapt to the realities of our country and put it into practice.

Example #1. Laundromats

One of the most thoughtful and interesting ideas that can be intercepted from Americans and Europeans. The meaning of such laundries is that a laundry is arranged in the basement of a residential building, where 10-15 machines are installed (depending on the number of inhabitants of the house), and a person, as needed, goes down to the basement where he can wash his things.

To do this, you need to pay a small amount of money, throw things into the machine, set the desired mode, and then come and pick up the washed things. The reason for creating a separate laundry can be called the high price of water, and sometimes the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bcreating such a business turns out to be convenient for everyone: people save a lot of money.

Self-service laundromats have also begun to open in Russia, but so far they operate mainly in student dormitories. To open a business, you will need to obtain permission from the authorities, purchase washing equipment and powders - and you can get to work. It will be more difficult to attract customers, because for a Russian person this is still a novelty, and besides, there is a washing machine at home, why pay someone else.

Example #2. Rubber tiles

The rubber tile business has long been popular in Europe and the USA. The meaning of the idea is that the rubber left after production is not disposed of, but processed into crumbs, from which tiles are then made for laying. The price of raw materials is quite low, so the cost of rubber tiles will be low. Thanks to this, retail prices can be lower than for similar floor coverings, and the difference in price can be used as proceeds from the sale of products.

Investment in this business requires the purchase of a volcanic press, molds, raw mixers, kilns and construction tools. By the way, such tiles can be made not only for the home, but also for the yard areas of country rest houses, summer cottages and cottages.

Example #3. Walking pets of several clients at once

For many people, pets are much more than just animals and for their comfort and convenience, people are willing to put in a lot of effort. Naturally, pets need to be walked regularly, and owners simply may not have time. So why not entrust your pets to people who love animals in the same way and will gladly walk with them instead of the owner?

In Europe and America, this service has long turned into a separate line of business, so why not adopt this useful experience and apply it to yourself? Moreover, in addition to walking, you can offer owners and related services, such as washing paws, feeding or bathing animals. A constant influx of customers is soon guaranteed!

Example #4. 3D - sweets

The beginning of this and other similar ideas was the creation of a 3D printer, which, bringing to life many interesting ideas, in a short time won thousands of fans around the world.

To put this idea into practice, not so much will be required: consumable components will be enough: chocolate, sugar, caramel, etc. Despite the availability of "raw materials", you will have to spend money on the printer itself, the cost of which varies from 5 to 15 thousand dollars. It will be possible to sell their products by agreement with confectioneries, bakeries and sweet shops. At first, the profit will be small, but then, if you unwind, you can think about opening your own sweet shop.

Business ideas at home: TOP-4 for beginners with minimal investment

Many find themselves in a home business and start making real money there. Next, we will look at examples of home businesses and which options are the most profitable and optimal.

Home business #1. Female makeup artist and hairdresser

One of the most popular business ideas for women who dream of making a hobby a way to earn extra money. Despite the high level of competition, this area still needs professionals. Often, promoted makeup artists either start to take huge money for their work by the standards of the layman, or stop being creative, which is very important for the beauty industry. So it turns out that a novice make-up artist who strives to take into account all the wishes of the client and at the same time does not take fabulous sums for his work can, in a fairly short time, acquire a whole army of “fans” who, at the same time, will gladly advise this person to their friends and acquaintances.

To start working in this direction, you need to unlearn courses. Preferably those who are known for their professional and responsible approach to business. Let them cost money, but the knowledge gained from them can eventually become the most expensive investment in your own professional growth.

With a certificate in hand, you can start working on your client base. It is possible that at first you will have to work at a loss and do makeup and hair for free, just getting permission to post photos on social networks. The initial capital will be considered the funds invested in their education and advanced training. It is also worth adding expensive, high-quality cosmetics and consumables, as well as tools, brush sets, styling products and much more.

But then, having managed to fulfill the first few orders “perfectly”, you can be sure that calls from customers who want to make an appointment for makeup or hair will soon begin to be heard. And customers in this business are, as you know, money.

Home business #2. Website development and promotion

Today, the situation on the market is developing in such a way that the one who knows how to find the most effective ways of communicating with the consumer is ahead. In the age of information technology, the most convenient "platform" for communication is your own website. Depending on the specifics and activities of the company, the site can be simple informational, in the form of an online store or just one big advertisement for the enterprise. Fortunately, now more and more people are beginning to realize the need to create their own "visiting card" on the Internet.

But it is not enough to create a site, it also needs to be promoted, and, often, if the site is poorly optimized, then the entire amount of work on its creation simply disappears. A rare person will spend extra hours of time studying the resources issued on the fifth, sixth and twentieth pages of the search. Usually, this range is limited to the first two, maximum three pages of SERP. That is why now high-quality website promotion is in such high demand in the market.

In order to make website promotion your source of income, it is advisable to open your own studio. But this is only if capital permits. If the funds are still not enough, you can come to grips with SMM marketing by advertising and offering your services in thematic groups, on forms in specialized communities. The success of an SEO optimizer is also determined by the number of satisfied customers, so it’s worth wisely approaching two or three orders, how you can gain user trust and subsequent orders.

As for your own studio, for this you will need to register a company as a legal entity, rent a room, hire staff and find customers. The starting capital for this business idea will be at least half a million rubles, however, given the average market prices for creating and optimizing a site, this amount will pay off pretty quickly.

Business at home #3. Copywriting and rewriting of texts

Copywriting and / or texts can be a good side job, but for this you need to have certain skills. Firstly, it is a good style and sense of style. The ability to “link two words” is not just words, it is a skill that a person either has or does not have. It is not easy to create a unique text literate, using the maximum of useful information and without unnecessary “water”, but if a person knows how to do this, he will definitely find an additional source of income for himself.

In most cases, the user has the main job, and is engaged in copywriting in his spare time. In order to start working, it will be enough to create an account on one of the many copywriting exchanges, and then proceed to fulfill the simplest orders, gradually increasing and improving your skill level.

If you plan to make copywriting your main income, it will take a lot of time, as well as diligence, perseverance and hard work. Gradually, having gained professional competencies and acquired several regular customers, you can confidently reach a new level and start taking on more complex, larger, and, accordingly, more expensive orders. Knowledge of other languages ​​and the ability to express yourself in a foreign language in writing will be a huge plus.

Business at home number 4. Family Kindergarten

A family kindergarten, despite the high demand and limited supply, is a rather labor-intensive enterprise and requires huge investments at the initial stage. Finding the right space will be the hardest part. The premises used as a kindergarten must comply with all fire and sanitary standards, be away from roads, garages and establishments with a high noise level. Each child is entitled to a certain area of ​​at least 6 square meters. meters, the room should also have rest rooms, a games room, a kitchen and a medical office.

As a taxation system, you can use the simplified tax system, and the form of registration of the institution will be NOU ( non-state educational institution).

Next on the plan is the recruitment of staff, this is also not an easy task. Among the people working in a kindergarten there may be a cook, educators, a child psychologist, a nurse, etc. The selected personnel (especially educators and psychologists) must necessarily have all the necessary licenses and other permits, on the basis of which they can work with children.

Summing up the idea of ​​​​creating a kindergarten, we can say the following: at first it will be very difficult, you will have to fiddle a lot with papers, but then there will be no end to the parents.

Summarizing

In conclusion, I would like to note a few important points that you should pay attention to when implementing a certain business idea.

  1. Do not ignore market research. The funds spent on a qualitative analysis of the market will pay off handsomely and bring much more benefits than it might seem at first glance. This is especially true for novice entrepreneurs who are just starting their entry into the business. Market research is one of the most important steps, which helps to avoid a huge number of mistakes that lead to the loss of potential and real customers and financial losses.
  2. Any business idea should have a clear goal. It is better if the goal is aimed at making the life of society easier, then customers will be drawn more willingly and faster. If a business does not have a goal, any undertaking (even one that was successful at the beginning) will simply stall over time. It is better to use the first profit in the development of your business - and then success and constant growth are guaranteed.

If you look at it, you can see that ideas for a small business from scratch with minimal investment lie on the surface - the main thing is to know where to start, but there would be a desire. Good luck in your endeavors!

business ideas at home

Makeup at home

If you know how to emphasize the dignity of a person's appearance and work wonders with the help of shadows and lipstick, then why not monetize your talent? For less than $250-500 you can start your own makeup business from scratch. With a skillful approach, such an undertaking can turn into a fairly profitable part-time job.

home care

This, of course, is not the most profitable occupation, but it is a great opportunity to live in different parts of the world (including exotic ones) without paying a penny for rent.

babysitting job

Do not think that only teenagers and students look after other people's children. Even vice versa. This work can bring a decent income, especially for those who work at night and on weekends.

window washing

When you look at the world around you from the window, you want to see everything clearly and clearly. This generates a great demand for window cleaners, especially in office buildings.

Property management

Do you know people who rent out property? Then they may need a person who will manage their affairs. This is a great source of additional income that does not require much effort on your part. However, this position requires agility and a willingness to work flexible hours. Your responsibilities will include collecting rent, arranging repairs and other works, as well as handling any unforeseen situations. Most real estate investors need a manager like air.

Renting out your property through Airbnb

Airbnb offers a great way to make money by renting out a spare bed or sofa. But that is not all. This is also a great opportunity to make a lot of interesting acquaintances (of course, provided that you are a sociable person). You can even rent out an entire apartment. But do not think that this is a passive source of income that will not require any effort from you. You must keep the apartment clean, always be ready to receive guests and do everything possible for their comfortable stay with you.

Carpet cleaning

Carpets can instantly transform any home, making it more cozy and comfortable. But over time, dust, dirt, grease, allergens and germs accumulate in carpets. Carpet cleaning services will always be in demand, and it would be foolish not to take advantage of the opportunity that lies right in the palm of your hand. However, for this you will need to invest in the purchase of appropriate equipment and supplies (vacuum cleaners, carpet brushes, detergents, etc.). An alternative option is to rent equipment for the weekend to serve 5-10 customers at once and cover the rental costs. If you get off to a good start, over time you will be able to purchase your own equipment and increase your prices. So a small part-time job can turn into a serious business.

Real estate valuation

Real estate appraisal can be done from home, devoting several hours a day to it. This is a great idea to earn money in addition to your main income. Although it is not necessary to graduate from a university with a degree, you will need documents confirming your professionalism (licenses, certificates of completion of training, etc.), deep knowledge in the field of real estate, as well as a large base of potential clients (brokers, real estate agents, banks, other appraisers, etc.).

House cleaning

If you want to expand the range of your services and earn more, you can do complex house cleaning. During such cleaning, you should pay attention to carpets, floors, lawns, garages, windows, walls, roofs, etc. Naturally, such a scale of work requires a whole arsenal of detergents and cleaners. Or you can form your own staff of cleaners, and deal with administrative issues and interaction with clients yourself. If you have not yet decided on, then you can get a job as a cleaner in a cleaning company to first get to know the business from the inside.

Selling goods from China

Trading with China for beginners can be in two variations:

  • Online store
  • One-pagers

The bottom line is that all agreements with suppliers should be established via the Internet.

On the landing page, the conversion is higher, so separate one-page sites are created for trending products. So you can make a decent income from scratch in China in 1-2 months.

Trading with China for beginners is a good way to raise money without any sole proprietorship or LLC registration.

But the downside is that for such a start, a mere mortal needs to have information: either the Chinese can substitute, or the Russian partners will break the price. Or you mess up something.
However, do not rush to abandon the business. Still, 400% of the transaction can not be earned anywhere.

For those curious and purposeful, there is a webinar in which we talk about the key points. All from personal experience. For participation, . And you will have a stable business with China!

Business ideas in the field of design

Graphic design

Knowledge and experience in graphic design is a plus. But if you are a beginner, do not despair: with the handy Adobe Illustrator program or the more affordable Stencil and Visme, everyone can master the basics of graphic design. A couple of working hands, a pinch of imagination and motivation, and - voila! - you are already ready to pay for the creation and editing of images.

Alternatively, you can create logos and other graphic products using the service, and then resell them to customers.

Web design

Web designers are needed in every company that works with modern technologies. Web design is one of the most popular side job ideas today. The goal of web design is to make the process of using a website or application simple and convenient.

Websites have long been an integral part of various types of businesses. Therefore, entrepreneurs are trying to create bright and memorable online projects in order to promote their company and attract a huge number of customers. And in order to do this in the minimum amount of time, you may need WordPress templates for business. They are designed for a variety of areas and everyone can find something to their liking.

Presentation design

Yes, even when working on a familiar PowerPoint presentation, a person may need help or advice, especially if he is not strong in this area.

Interior design

Imagine that a person is thinking about renovating the interior of the kitchen, and cannot decide which shade of granite will best harmonize with the mahogany floor. If you visit the Contemporist portal more often than the site with a weather forecast, then in this situation your knowledge will come in handy.

Art collecting

Do not confuse collecting with the senseless buying of items that represent at least some artistic value. Collecting requires patience, love for your craft and, of course, a huge investment of time. If you are well versed in worthy pieces of art, you can start by visiting the art department at your local university. But don't expect quick money, there is none in this business. Many students of art academies are ready to sell their painting or sculpture for a penny, but it is quite possible that in a few years its value will be in the thousands of dollars.

Floristics

Valentine's Day, birthdays, weddings... Every year, people celebrate dozens of holidays and events that cannot do without flowers. By entering into profitable agreements with reliable suppliers, you will be able to keep your costs relatively low. Profit in the flower business reaches 300% (on cut flowers), and this is not the limit. As you can see, selling flowers is a profitable business, provided you choose the right geographic region.

Ideas for online business

Web development

The knowledge and skills of web developers are traditionally in high demand. To learn the craft of website development in just a few months, take advantage of one of the budget online educational programs (Treehouse, Web Developer Bootcamp on Udemy or Codecademy).

After learning all the ins and outs of HTML, Ruby, Python, Javascript or CSS, start freelancing to build a decent portfolio. And when you gain experience and expand your client base, you can safely engage in web development on a full-time basis.

Application Development

It seems like there's an app for everything these days. Yet new apps continue to appear every day and are in demand. If you find a relatively free niche, then by learning how to write code (or knowing an experienced developer), you have every chance to gain a foothold in the market. Moreover, to create an application, coding skills are not required. The most important thing is to make sure that your idea will sell. Even if your application does not make a splash in the market, you will gain valuable experience or even decide to try your hand at new software release management.

Online news correspondent

Today, to work as a correspondent, you do not need to spend several years at the university. News websites are constantly looking for help in covering regional news. On some portals (The Examiner and HuffPost), a correspondent's earnings are determined by the income from showing ads per article.

Blogging

If you think that you can't make money blogging, then you are deeply mistaken. Tens of thousands of bloggers create interesting content on a wide variety of topics, from cooking to travel and cinema. They generate income through their subscribers, sponsors, affiliate marketing programs, and other channels. You should start by honing your writing skills. You also need to understand what kind of content your audience is waiting for, and how to write texts that will provide you with a constant influx of new readers. Just think: you can make good money talking about gadgets, for example, or any other thing that you like.

Once you've formed your audience, you can begin to learn more about their expectations by tailoring your content to your readers' preferences.

Buying and Selling Domain Names

It is not the first year that people have been earning on the domain name trade. And although the most winning options have long found their owners (for example, in 2009, the Insure.com domain went for $16 million), there are still enough names on the market that can be bought for little money and then sold at a profit. But some experts believe that the golden days of this business are behind us. Therefore, leaving your main job for the sake of trading domain names is still not worth it (unless you already have several profitable deals under your belt). Get started with helpful tips from GoDaddy, the world's largest domain name repository. Just imagine that you can have domain names in your hands, for which companies will be ready to pay fabulous money for the next ten years.

Maintaining a YouTube channel

If you create useful and interesting video content and grow your subscriber base to several thousand people, you will be able to place ads in your videos. And this is a stable source of income. There are many YouTubers who earn millions. The success of your channel depends on a number of factors, including content, audience, skills, relationships, and timing. By paying close attention to each of these factors and skillfully combining them, you can transform your YouTube channel from a small side job into a multi-million dollar business.

Online courses

At the heart of the best part-time ideas is the opportunity to capitalize on your skills and talents. If you consider yourself an expert in a certain subject, then there will certainly be people who are willing to pay you to share your knowledge and experience with them.

Online coaching

If you are not only well versed in a certain area, but also treat your business with great enthusiasm, you may well turn your passion into income by providing personal coaching services. But try to sensibly evaluate your capabilities so as not to reassure clients whom you are unable to help for any reason.

Involvement of subcontractors

If you have already established your freelance business in several areas, you can outsource some of the work to other freelancers. This is a great opportunity to expand your customer base and, accordingly, increase income.

Online Assistant

If you consider yourself an organized and diversified person, then why not try on the role of an online assistant? Check out the Elance , Indeed or Upwork platforms for offers you might be interested in. This is a great opportunity to make useful contacts, communicate with reputable people and improve your skills. Another huge plus of such a part-time job is that at first you can work from home. This is especially convenient if you have to change your place of residence frequently (for example, if your life partner (or your partner) is a professional athlete or coach, and you do not stay in one place for a long time).

Remote teaching of English

Teaching English as a foreign language is a stable source of additional income, not to mention the opportunity to see the world. Ideally, you should be an accredited ESL teacher, but this is not required. If you are a native English speaker, in some countries (Hong Kong, UAE) people will be willing to pay you $25 per hour for Skype lessons.

Selling goods from Amazon under your own brand

Amazon is not only one of the largest IT companies, but also a bottomless global marketplace where almost anyone can capitalize on the growing online commerce. However, just like everywhere else, you will have to sweat a little for this. Get ready to explore the markets for popular non-branded products (eg watches, key chains, mugs, etc.) and select products that you could successfully sell under your own brand. Moreover, in order for coins to fall into your pocket, you need to thoroughly think over your sales strategy.

Filling out online questionnaires

Yes, this is not the most exciting and interesting activity. Nevertheless, for filling out the questionnaires they pay, albeit small, but money. Since you can’t make capital here, it’s better to do this in your free time from your main job.

Buying sites

Websites are a bit like stock exchanges. Some are considered garbage, while others can bring significant profit. Therefore, sites are constantly buying and selling. When trading sites, factors such as traffic volume, profitability, domain name and some others are taken into account. With the proper approach, you have every chance of finding a real pearl, the true value of which no one but you has yet seen.

Mobile laundry

We all wear clothes (at least most of the time), so washing dirty clothes has been, and still is, a lucrative business. The US laundromat market is valued at more than $3 billion. And every year, the industry is replenished with new services - a mobile application for finding laundries, mobile laundries, laundry services with pick-up and delivery, etc. As you can see, there is no shortage of earning opportunities.

Freelancing Small Business Ideas

Writing an e-book

Have you ever thought about presenting your skills and knowledge in the form of an e-book? Such a book will be useful to people who want to learn something, develop professionally or open their own business. This is a truly valuable product (assuming you choose the right audience). Spare no time and effort on your book, interest your target audience, and then you have a chance to publish your work in a real publishing house and create your own brand.

Proofreading and editing texts

While texts are being written, there will always be work for editors. Proofreading and editing texts not only provide decent hourly pay, but also provide an opportunity to get acquainted with interesting content. Moreover, such work allows you to travel and work from anywhere in the world.
