Because of the digital advancements, it has become very easy to start your own business. You can start your own business with very little investment and expect huge profits in return. All you need to do is to hire a few experts through any good IT, or manufacturing staffing agency and buy the necessary equipment. Since the agencies take care of their experts’ training, you won’t need to invest time and money yourself.
Here are a few business ideas that you can pursue either alone or with your team members.
Used Books
You can easily check online about what kinds of books are in high demand. Then you can buy these books on a sale and sell them at half of their original price. While most of the people prefer to buy original books, many of them go for the cheaper option. Once you get the hang of it, this business will become quite easy for you.
Catering
Catering is another low-cost option for you. You will only need to hire a few team members and cooks. Then you can buy inexpensive items and prepare delicious meals for various events. After 2-3 months, the profits will far exceed the investments. So, then you can think about extending your business elsewhere as well.
Baby Sitting
If you love kids, then you can opt for child care to earn money. Spending quality time with kids is also a great way to relieve your stress and stay happy. This might not sound promising in terms of monetary benefits. But child care experts actually make huge money by babysitting several kids at the same time.
Tour Guide
Becoming a tour guide is an inexpensive option with great potential. If you live in an area that has many historical buildings and other tourist attractions, then you can offer your services to the tourists. You can also arrange fun activities for them and take them to traditional restaurants. By collaborating with these restaurants and tourist attractions, you can build rapport and earn extra money,
Healthy Meal Preparation
If you love to cook, then you can start a healthy meal service from your home. Many people don’t want to spend huge sums of money on fast-food and unhealthy meals. So, you can provide them a cheap and healthy alternative. Once this business starts growing, you can hire a few helpers too. The success of this business will depend on your commitment to it. So, make sure that you don’t have any other full-time job while starting this business.
Translation
Being multi-lingual can do wonders for you. Nowadays, several government organizations and online streaming services actively hunt people who can do translations for them. You can put your language skills to good use by becoming a translator. But to become a translator, you’ll need to provide some sort of certification to these organizations. So, make sure that you have them before applying for such jobs.
App Development
If you are good at software development, then you can start developing apps for multiple companies. Many companies are always on the hunt for expert software developers. Make sure that you have some sort of diploma/certificate to prove your skills. If you don’t like to work for someone, then you can create your own app and market it through social media and email.
Copywriting
Copywriting is another in-demand career option for you. You can easily find such jobs on social media and job platforms. You can contact several companies and work as a copywriter to develop the website and product page content for them. You’ll just have to make sure that you have excellent research, writing, and listening skills for this job.
Resume Expert
If you are good at writing and editing resumes, then you can become a resume expert. You can even start writing cover letters for people to earn extra money. To develop your rapport as a great resume writer, you can start by editing your friends’ resumes and sharing them on your public social media accounts.
YouTuber
If you want to get popular and earn money, then you can become a YouTuber. You can do some research regarding the type of content that is likely to get appreciated by the audience. Then you can produce videos with a good camera and start receiving a portion of YouTube ad revenue.
Blogging
Blogging is another great option for aspiring writers. You’ll need to host and buy a domain to start your own blog. When you manage to get popular, you can affiliate with different brands and start earning extra cash.
Recruitment
With the rise in the number of online job platforms, it is becoming very difficult for companies to find good candidates for various job positions. You can help companies find the right candidates and earn cash. But to succeed as a recruiter, you’ll need to build more than 500 work contacts.
Influencer
If you like being popular and want to influence people, then this career choice is ideal for you. First, you’ll need to produce engaging content that can increase your followers on various social media platforms. Then you can contact various brands and advertise their products/services to earn money.
Social Media Marketing
With the right skill-set, you can do email and social media marketing for various brands. Make sure that you have great writing, optimization, and management skills before applying for this job. Also, you’ll thoroughly have to understand the dynamics of various social media platforms. For instance, Instagram is all about sharing creative product pictures. While on Facebook, you can discuss the characteristics of the product in detail.
House Painting
House painting is a great low-cost business to start easily. In some countries, you can become a house painter without a license. So, all you need to do is to watch some YouTube tutorials and practice a few times to become a professional house painter.
Consulting
Don’t think that you need to invest a huge amount of capital to become a consultant or advisor. With the right skill-set and a strong reference, you can become a successful consultant easily. I have seen many consultants working with all sorts of businesses including agencies providing mortgage staffing solutions. They get hired as a mortgage advisor easily. Besides the cost of getting training, you would need to set up your own website and market your business to get people’s attention.
