Countless people are considering starting their own home-based businesses today. With growing global interconnectivity and constantly increasing opportunities for innovating both new and old business ideas alike, it makes sense to think about starting your own business. All around the world today, an affordable, home-based business can quickly grow into something great. It’s important to note that starting your own business is never easy, and you need to be totally committed, if you want to become successful. So, I spent some time doing serious research and dug into the best relevant business ideas to keep your start-up costs low and earning potential high. I have shared a few of these ideas in my blog Easy under $5000 Business Ideas.
Here are a few more quick small business ideas to consider:
Housekeeping
There is hardly anyone who would say they actually enjoy cleaning their house. How many people do you find excited about dusting, cleaning and mopping? Chances are they could easily think of five other things they’d much rather be doing. Now consider getting paid to clean the house? Then it doesn’t sound so bad, does it? It is a good way to earn some money during your spare time.
Jewellery Making
Jewellery never goes out of fashion. It is always in demand. Colors, types and styles change, but men, women, both always wear jewellery of some sort. Those of you who are creative with their hands and imagination, and enjoy making beautiful pieces of jewellery can sell their products both at local fairs and online, and turn this into a profitable business. There is a lot of demand for beautiful and unique jewellery items.
Knitting, Crocheting and Quilting
Handmade scarves, quilts and covers are always awed at by shoppers; especially the ones who are not so creative or do not have to make things for themselves or their homes. Therefore, most shoppers are very keen to purchase handmade items, rather than commercial mass-produced generic products, either for themselves or as gifts for loved ones. Customised, hand-made quilts are a thing to die for, today. You could easily knit during your spare time, while watching television or babysitting. Creating custom made products for special occasions like christenings are another way to increase your revenue. If you are ready to accept orders for specific colors, designs or patterns, as requested by the customer, you could easily turn this talent into a high source of income.
Landscaping
If you enjoy working outdoors, establishing and maintaining gardens and outdoor areas, a landscaping business may be ideal for you.
Meals-on-the-Go
If you and your family could eat for free, how would you feel? Make some extra batches of yummy freezer friendly meals while you cook for your family, sell the additional batches and use the proceeds to cover the cost of your family’s meals, and you and your family eat for free! You could sell your extra meals to someone going through a tough time whom you would like to help, or to people that have a sick friend but don’t have the time or skill to prepare food etc.
Online Media Consultant
Small businesses that are just starting up would probably not have the budget to employ a full-time marketing person, but would nonetheless want to establish their online presence as soon as possible. You could hire your services out as an online media consultant to help set up their Facebook page, Twitter account, website and so on.
Interior Decorator
You may often find your family or friends asking you how to decorate their homes, if you have a good sense of design and style for interior spaces. Use your talent to set up an interior design business. These days there is formal qualification available to become a professional in interior design as well. Look at enrolling yourself for one such course and get online to advertise and promote your work. Display your (basic) designs, participate in discussions and write blogs. Get a website for your business. Something that shows your talent and gives the buyers a chance to learn more about your work before they hire you for a project. You contact number, or an email address displayed on your website is a great way for people to find you and be able to reach out to you easily.
