1. Which manufacturing business idea to choose?

Despite the seemingly well-established competition in all industries, finding and occupying your niche in the market is more than realistic! I will say more, from personal experience, I have repeatedly been convinced that some niches in a particular city / region can be practically free from competition at all - it remains only to occupy them and make a profit!😀

So, in fact, opening your own profitable production business is not so difficult as you might imagine, the main thing is to approach this business responsibly and choose a business idea that suits your capabilities and interests, which would be in demand among the population.

Below in the article, we just provided a list of the most popular production ideas for small businesses. In order to make it more convenient for you to decide on a particular business, each idea will be considered based on the following criteria:

• initial investment;
• required equipment/materials/room…;
• average profitability;
• payback;
• demand for products;
• production complexity.

If you have a small initial capital, then first of all, pay attention to simple business ideas that you can implement at home / in an apartment / garage (there are a lot of them listed in the article).

In addition, before implementing a business idea, analyze the market, purchasing power and competition in your city or region.

Separately, a few words should be said about competition. Of course, it is easiest to start production in an area where there is little or no competition. Such niches can be found in almost every city. But in this situation, it is important to understand that in some of them the demand for products may be narrow or limited.

As for the high competition, then it should not be afraid - if it exists, then this indicates, first of all, that this product is very popular among the population. So, with the right positioning, you can always take your place in the market.

❗️ Advice from personal experience:
Do not immediately invest a lot of money in production, especially if you are not sure that the business will go uphill. Start small, and as soon as you are sure that the goods produced are in good demand, expand production.

Also keep in mind that sales of products in production occupies a key place, so you need to pay special attention!

But let's not digress too much from the topic of this article - in more detail about proper organization sales and other important principles for building a successful business that will save you a lot of money and time, you can read towards the end of the article.

Well, now, finally, let's move on to a review of business ideas! 👇

2. Business ideas for production for small businesses - 37 relevant and in-demand ideas

Idea No. 1 - Production of decorative artificial stone

INVESTMENTS: ≈ from 30,000 - 100,000 rubles.

DESCRIPTION OF THE IDEA: Artificial stone is widely used as a decor both indoors (for wall cladding, shelves) and outside (for foundations, facades…).

This is a fairly profitable business, and most importantly, in demand among the population - on average, the demand for decorative stone is growing by 10% annually.

It is important here, as in any production, first of all, to organize the sale of products. For example, the usual cooperation with finishers often allows you to organize a permanent sale of artificial stone. In addition, it is worth organizing wholesale deliveries to companies that sell Construction Materials.

Additional income can be brought in by stone finishing and delivery services (or recommendations from those who provide such services).

WHAT YOU NEED:

• matrix forms;
• cement and sand (or gypsum);
• pigments (dyes) and other additives;
• room on average from 30-70 sq. meters (possible at home / cottage);
• vibrating table (relevant for mass production of stone).

The technology for the production of artificial stone is quite simple: a solution is prepared from cement and sand (gypsum), poured into molds and hardens. Coloring can be done either after the stone has solidified, or when preparing a solution by adding powder pigments to it.

Gypsum stone is mainly used for internal works, and from concrete - for finishing the facade. However, it has been observed that the demand for concrete stone is significantly higher than for gypsum stone.

The cost of 1 square. m. of such a stone usually does not exceed 200-250 rubles, the market value is on average 500-700 rub. per sq. meter .

For example, in small towns, budget paving slabs are very popular; accordingly, in the absence of local manufacturers, such a business can bring significant profit. You can also produce luminous paving slabs, which are now only gaining popularity.

It is worth adding that the production of tiles is a relatively low-cost business and it is quite simple to organize it even right at home.

3. Sales is a key element of any production! Personal experience and useful recommendations

And now we will devote a little time to one of the most important moments in production - sales of products . Below I will briefly try to explain why, before producing anything, it is important to clearly understand exactly how the products will be sold.

I really hope that the described experience will be useful to any of you and will allow you not to step on the same rake that I did when opening my own business.

In my practice, I have been convinced more than once that often it is not an established and stable sales that leads to the fact that the business never starts to make a profit or brings, but very little.

In life, it usually turns out that many start-up entrepreneurs first invest money, start producing something, and only then think about selling products (and sometimes they have no idea at all how to sell manufactured products).

⚡️ It is important!
Any production lives only due to the sale of products: no sales ➡️ no sales ➡️ no business ! Therefore, before starting a business, carefully plan through which distribution channels and how the products will be sold!

remember, that Sales is the backbone of any business.! 80% of the success of your business depends on sales!

As for sales, there are 2 main channels for selling products:

• directly to the client (for example: through their own retail outlets/shops/offices; through advertising, newspaper ads and bulletin boards; through their website and/or group in social networks, word of mouth…);
• through wholesalers and retailers (for example, it is a very common practice to give products to intermediaries for sale, since this does not oblige them to anything, most of them will agree to cooperate).

In order to build a stable and successful manufacturing business, analyze and work through all the marketing options available to you at the moment. After all, often until you try it, you won’t know which of the sales channels will bring the main income.

By the way, also use internet to find new customers- many people underestimate him, but in vain. For example, I know many entrepreneurs for whom the Avito bulletin board is almost the only source of a client, and besides, it’s free!

Here are some more tips from my personal experience:

1️⃣ It will always be useful analyze the market , pricing and evaluate the competition. As I already mentioned, the presence of competition is not always bad, on the contrary, it indicates that this or that niche is in demand in the market!

As for demand, it can be roughly estimated in your city/region using the online statistics service wordstat(wordstat.yandex.ru) from Yandex. And with the help of bulletin boards (Avito, for example), you can test the demand even before you start producing anything!

2️⃣ It does not hurt to make a small business plan on the chosen idea (especially for newcomers to the business). Just do not need to make it 50 sheets, do the most detailed calculations ... - this will not be of much use, because, as a rule, in life everything turns out quite differently than on paper.

It will be enough to describe the idea on just a few sheets to simply understand from the inside how the business works and how it functions, what is important and what is not ...

3️⃣ For a business to be successful, it is very important to find your strengths and stand out from competitors. For example, you can stand out due to the low price, product quality, high level of service, speed of delivery, etc. Describe your ideal client and focus on their top preferences and interests.

4️⃣ I do not recommend starting entrepreneurs to start production of any innovative products for which there is no demand yet. This requires a lot of experience and a fairly large investment, since in practice only 1-2 out of 10 new products shoot!

❗️ Therefore, it is better for beginners to start with goods for which there is already a steady demand.🙂

5️⃣ Give yourself to your work completely and with love . There is no need to act half-heartedly and with thoughts: it may work, or it may not. Have a clear intention that it will only be the way you intended. And of course, do your business with love for people, then you will definitely succeed!

Open own business is not an easy, but extremely interesting task, and the prospects can be simply breathtaking. A personal business provides not only a source of income, but also independence, the ability to optimally manage your time and resources, acquire new knowledge and skills.

What kind of business to open for a novice entrepreneur? The answer to this question is always individual in nature and is determined not only by market and economic factors.

Which business is better to open: factors of choice

When starting your own business, you will have to solve a number of tasks - both strategic and procedural and creative - in order for the enterprise to start working and generate income.

• Niche selection.

First, figure out what kind of business you will open, decide on the industry and market niche. What advantages should your business have in order to be successful and in demand? What are the features of the chosen business niche?

• Idea selection.

After that, you need to develop a business idea, answering the question of what exactly the company will do. An idea for a business should be practical and promising. Uniqueness is not the main thing for business, but you need to have some kind of zest that distinguishes you from competitors.

• Marketing strategy.

Based on a business idea marketing strategy firms. This strategy consists of several components: the basic definition of the direction of the company, ways to attract and retain customers, detuning from competitors, choosing advertising channels, uniqueizing your products and services (so that they compare favorably with other offers on the market).

• Ready to fight.

A novice entrepreneur must be prepared for a long and hard struggle for success, often routine, with many mistakes in the process. It is advisable to immediately tune in to the fact that it will not be easy, and the businessman himself is responsible for all steps, but success is possible if you make enough effort. In addition, starting a business is only the beginning of a long journey: if things go well, then the entrepreneur will have years of active work. Therefore, it is desirable to provide yourself with the support of loved ones and relatives, so as not to break down and quit your business at the first setbacks.

• Registration.

In different countries, the procedures for registering commercial firms are very different, and when deciding which small business is better to open, you need to study all the legal intricacies of this process. In the Russian Federation, you can register as an individual entrepreneur or as entity. Think about what would be more appropriate in your case.

• Business plan.

Drawing up a business plan is necessary for everyone who is going to open their own business, regardless of its specifics. It includes the company's development strategy, tactical measures, timing and costs. A well-written business plan allows you to assess the prospects of the company.

From this document it should be clear what kind of start-up capital you need to have in order to open your own business. In case of force majeure and unplanned expenses, this figure should be increased by one and a half times. If the entrepreneur does not have his own financial resources, you can apply to a reliable bank for a loan for the maximum possible period and at the lowest interest rates.

• Organization of reporting.

Accounting and document management issues should also be considered in advance. If you do not have the appropriate education, it is better to immediately hire an experienced accountant. This can be done as part of an outsourcing agreement or invite one of the accountants you know to work.

The personality of the business founder largely determines the success of the entire project. In this activity, such qualities as perseverance, responsiveness, composure, efficiency, high self-organization, energy, and leadership qualities are important. A lot of great business ideas got stuck at the idea stage because the authors did not have the strength, motivation and skills to open their own business and persevere in its development. Therefore, at the stage of thinking about what small business it is better to open, you need to analyze your own capabilities, psychological characteristics and limitations, and not just market conditions.

In addition to the warehouse of character, the important resources of a business leader are his professional skills, knowledge, experience, and connections. If a person starts his own business in an area where he has already worked for some time and knows the nuances well, this gives him an advantage over less informed and experienced entrepreneurs.

What is the best way to start a business from scratch

All existing species businesses can be classified into one of three types:

Production

It does not have to be large-scale, time-consuming and expensive. It makes no sense for a novice entrepreneur to immediately open something large - a plant, for example - if a small workshop with the most necessary equipment is enough for work.

Now the most promising and popular business is the production of unique products: private bakeries and confectioneries, craft breweries, the production of designer furniture, the creation of unusual accessories and jewelry. Such a business does not require huge start-up capital, but the knowledge and skills of the entrepreneur and those whom he recruits into his team are very important in it - both professional skills, and creativity, and managerial competencies. Of particular importance for those who plan to open such a small business is the choice of a business niche and research on the market situation.

Services

They are divided into tangible and intangible. The first category includes, for example, education, catering, hotel business, passenger transport, construction, etc. You can open such a business only if you have a certain start-up capital. But intangible services do not require special financial investments. These are consulting in various fields, design, tutoring and coaching, hairdressing and manicure services, minor repairs of things and household appliances, etc. For those who have professional skills in any field, it makes sense to think about opening their own small business (another option is to hire qualified staff).

Trade

Trading activity varies in scale: it is wholesale and retail. What type of trade is better to specialize in, opening private business, - complex issue. You can get good profits in both cases, if you organize business processes correctly. But in terms of investment wholesale more costly.

In a situation where an entrepreneur has very limited capital, but wants to open his own business, the best solution would be intermediary activities in trade and services. There is no significant cost to the dealer or distributor. By choosing an area in which there is already some knowledge and experience, a businessman not only combines work and hobbies, but also turns out to be better prepared to run his business than someone who masters a completely unfamiliar field of activity.

So, for example, a person with a diploma in low-temperature equipment engineering is best to open a business such as:

a manufacturing company that manufactures spare parts and components for the installation of refrigeration units;

a store selling ready-made refrigerators and spare parts for them, auxiliary equipment;

mediation and consultations in the field of procurement of complex and large freezers for industrial facilities;

provision of services of a master in the repair and installation of refrigerators or open a corresponding company.

In these cases, the businessman will at least enjoy his activities. And knowledge and understanding of the chosen area will provide an opportunity to get high profits in a relatively short time.

If an entrepreneur is going to open a business for little money, then in large cities and developed regions it will be difficult to do this due to fierce competition. Entering the market and developing a permanent clientele will require much more funds than creating a similar business in smaller cities.

By opening a business in a small town, you get the following benefits:

low cost of renting premises for an office, shop, workshop, etc.;

lower costs for staff salaries;

the ability to have no competitors at all in the chosen niche and set prices for their goods and services monopoly.

But there are, of course, disadvantages of doing business in small towns:

a small influx of customers due to limited traffic;

profits are stable, but small;

it is difficult to recruit personnel, as many ambitious and highly qualified workers seek to leave for work in big cities and the capital.

Therefore, before opening a private business in a small town, carefully compare all the pros and cons of this solution and its prospects for you personally.

10 business ideas to start

1. Online store.

E-commerce is now experiencing a period of rapid development, and the most popular type of startup is an online store. Demonstration and sale of goods takes place on the store's website, and then they are delivered to customers using courier services or mail. More and more people, especially middle-aged people, are fond of shopping in online stores, and those who are going to open a business selling any goods on the Internet have the most encouraging prospects. This format of stores does not need trading floors, but depends entirely on the performance of the site, its usability and promotion in search engines.

In order to open an online clothing store for women or children, you will need a starting capital of 200 thousand rubles, which will go to:

development, content, support of the site;

wages to administrators (and, possibly, to couriers, if they are part of the company's staff);

possibly renting a warehouse;

purchase of products and their transportation.

For stores selling clothes and knitwear, the profitability of the business reaches 20-25%. If you buy goods worth more than 200 thousand rubles a month, then you can expect a net profit of 40 thousand rubles. Subject to the active promotion of the store, a competent assortment policy and a successful selection of suppliers, such a business will pay off after 4–6 months from the moment it was opened.

2. Street fast food.

Another popular type of small business is a small stationary retail outlet that manufactures and sells drinks and fast food, primarily closed and classic sandwiches according to original recipes, coffee, etc. This type of fast food differs from the usual shawarma and hot dogs by its high quality and wide range, unusual components and recipes, orientation towards amateurs healthy lifestyle life and vegetarians. During the crisis, the revenues of cafes, restaurants and other traditional catering businesses are falling, but fast food is gaining momentum, and many entrepreneurs open just such a business.

It is best to locate points for the sale of street fast food in crowded places and high traffic: near transport hubs, train stations, shopping centers and markets, educational institutions. When opening a fast food business, stock up on starting capital of at least 275 thousand rubles for renting retail space, buying premises (which can be either a pavilion or stall or a mobile trailer), purchasing equipment (heated display cases, refrigerators, stoves, coffee -machines, etc.). With a daily turnover of about eight thousand rubles, the monthly revenue of a fast food outlet will be up to 240 thousand rubles, and with a profitability of 30%, the business will pay off in less than six months of work.

3. outsourcing company.

This type of business consists in providing various services to third-party firms for a fee: legal support, accounting and financial management, technical support in the field of IT, using a call center to receive orders. Outsourcing as a type of business is relatively new, its market is in the process of formation. During the crisis, more and more outsourcing firms are opening, as it is more difficult for companies to keep all the necessary specialists in their staff, and the need for their services has not disappeared anywhere.

In order to open an outsourcing company, you need a start-up capital of 550 thousand rubles. The main costs at the first stage consist of:

searching, hiring and paying for the services of qualified specialists in the chosen field;

renting an office in the city center or another easily accessible place, repairing and purchasing office furniture and everything necessary for work;

The key to outsourcing high quality and completeness of the services provided, compliance with the deadlines, responsibility for the result. As a rule, outsourcing companies do not have a single approved price list, since the cost of services is determined individually in each case and is prescribed in a special agreement with the client.

4. Canteen-catering.

A catering company in the format of a city canteen is a more expensive and complex business than a fast food outlet, but in the long run it is much more profitable. Budget canteens are in stable demand among various groups of the population, from students and employees of nearby enterprises to tourists passing by (if the canteen is located in the city center or near attractions). Even with a high saturation of the market with such catering establishments, canteens still provide a stable profit. A very significant role in this business is played by the choice of premises: in addition to a good location, it must meet a number of technical, hygienic and other requirements.

The starting capital required to open a canteen will be approximately one million rubles. This money is needed for:

rental of premises, its repair, decoration of halls for visitors;

selection, training, payment of personnel;

acquisition and installation of the necessary equipment and furniture.

The most successful option is a dining room with a capacity of 50 people (however, it should be borne in mind that a full load is possible only at certain hours of the working day, at other times it will be much less). For a year of stable operation, such a business will pay off when it reaches a daily income of 25 thousand rubles (excluding overhead costs), and this is possible with an average check of 200-300 rubles and a cross-country capacity of 50-60%.

5. Prefabricated structures.

This business idea is to build turnkey frame wooden houses. Such buildings are in great demand among the middle class who want to have a country house or a cottage in nature. The full cycle of building a frame house is only a few months, and the cheap materials used to build such an object make it a very profitable investment.

You can open a business for the construction of frame houses with an initial capital of 500 thousand rubles or more. The main items of expenditure when launching such a business project will be:

opening of one or more offices (to receive orders, communicate with clients, draw up contracts for the purchase of finished frame structures);

selection, training of teams of builders, wages for them;

purchase of necessary tools, construction equipment, equipment;

hiring office workers, paying for their work and the cost of maintaining offices;

The profitability of this type of business depends on the cost of materials used to build each house. The average cost of 1 m 2 of living space of frame houses is usually 30-40 thousand rubles, and the market price of each such meter is 70 thousand rubles. That is, the entire townhouse or cottage will cost the buyer about two million rubles. Just two realized objects are enough to recoup the initial costs of this business.

6. Salon.

Small hairdressing salons of the low and medium price segment, providing a full range of services, are in stable demand for all categories of the population in large and medium-sized cities. When opening such a business, one should strive for quality service, building good relations with customers (so that people want to come back to your hairdresser again and again) and keeping prices affordable. The most suitable places for hairdressers are residential areas with a large number of residents, close to shopping centers and major transport hubs - bus and tram stops, metro stations, etc.

In order to open a hairdressing salon, you need to have a starting capital of 300 thousand rubles, which will be required to pay rent for the premises, purchase furniture and equipment, Supplies, for the design of the premises and the launch of advertising, as well as for hiring craftsmen and administrators.

This type of business provides opportunities for additional profit through:

subleasing the premises or part of it to representatives of related professions - manicure and pedicure masters, make-up artists - to attract customers;

leasing some jobs to outside barbers (instead of hiring in-house staff).

A small hairdressing salon, where the average bill for services is 250 rubles, and about 16 clients are served during the working day, ceteris paribus pays off in a year and a half. And if the list of services expands, and the company actively conducts marketing activities and uses all advertising channels, then this will happen even faster. The planned profitability in this case is expected at the level of 29%.

A similar type of business is a beauty salon. If you open it in the smallest size - as an office for a master of cosmetic services at home - then the initial investment will be only 30 thousand rubles (for taking training courses, purchasing all the necessary cosmetic devices and equipment, advertising your services).

If you already have professional training in haircuts and styling, make-up, manicures, pedicures, eyebrow shaping, hair removal, etc., the first step in creating your business should be to gain experience and a portfolio for you. To do this, you can first practice on your relatives and friends for free, and then create your own group on the social network and offer your services for a small price.

The popularity of this business format is due to the fact that during a crisis, large beauty salons only increase their prices, and private masters who go to clients' homes to prepare them for important events (weddings, holidays, etc.) or host them, provide the same services at a much lower cost. After all, they do not have to pay rent or share profits with the owner.

For private masters, informal advertising channels are relevant - recommendations, word of mouth, social networks. Of the more expensive platforms for advertising their services, one can name wedding magazines and Internet portals.

7. Pharmacy.

People will need medicines anytime and anywhere, so opening a stationary pharmacy for the sale of medicinal products at retail is a very promising business idea, even with high competition in this market niche. It is best to open such a business in residential areas near metro stations and other transport hubs (railway stations, public transport stops) or near large supermarkets, choose a discounter format and rent a small room for a pharmacy.

In addition to the location, the success of this type of business is strongly influenced by the pricing policy of the pharmacy and the reliability of suppliers. That is, profits in this case are determined by the turnover. Realization of hygiene and cosmetic items, baby food, medical equipment can become an additional source of income. In addition, the legislation allows sellers to set high mark-ups for certain groups of medicines.

As for start-up capital, a novice entrepreneur who wants to open a pharmacy will need at least half a million rubles. In addition to financial resources, you will need:

qualified personnel;

non-residential premises with all pharmacy equipment;

established relationships and agreements with wholesale suppliers medicines.

8. Children's commission.

The essence of this business idea is to open a small store that accepts high-quality children's goods from customers for sale and resells them at a price that includes the seller's commission. Such shops are actively gaining popularity and more and more of them are being opened, as children grow up, constantly need new clothes, shoes and household items, and many families are forced to save money and cannot afford to buy all this in ordinary stores.

In order to open such a business now, you will need a starting capital of about 300 thousand rubles. This amount will be spent on rent, decoration and equipment of the retail space (purchase of furniture, stands, equipment, creation of a colorful sign or showcase), wages for employees. However, if this family business, then you can save money on hiring sellers and other staff. Advertising the store and maintaining its groups in social networks will require some financial investments, because it will be necessary to constantly attract sellers and buyers. But you don’t have to buy goods from wholesalers.

The most suitable places to open a children's commission are residential densely populated areas, houses near kindergartens, clinics, and grocery stores.

The optimal level of profitability of such a business, according to economists, should be 12-15%. Based on the daily turnover of 15 thousand rubles, the net profit per month can be up to 30 thousand rubles (after deducting all expenses).

9. Training courses, tutoring.

Tutoring has always been relevant, even in the most critical periods, and after the introduction of the Unified State Examination - especially. Not all parents can afford to pay for a language school or special courses to prepare their child for the exam, but the services of a private tutor are quite affordable (especially if the training is not conducted individually, but in small groups).

In addition to preparing students for exams, there are also a huge number of training courses, trainings and seminars for adults. To open your own business in this area, it is not necessary to spend money on renting premises, etc. - you can make online courses or conduct individual training events by renting suitable sites for several hours. However, such a business will require investment in advertising.

10. Shop fixed prices.

For a business selling cheap goods daily demand the crisis became a catalyst for success. Consumers are saving more and more, and the fixed price format attracts precisely with low prices. The range of such stores may include food, small household goods, and cosmetics.

There are two options for starting such a business: open a store on your own or buy a franchise. Starting capital is required in the amount of at least 700 thousand rubles, which will be spent on:

payment for rent or sublease of premises;

purchase of commercial equipment;

purchase of the first batch of goods;

staff salaries.

For points retail location plays a big role. It is better to open a business in places with a large flow of people.

You can buy goods in China (if you do it directly, the cost will be record low).

As you understand, there are a lot of options for private business. Let's highlight the most relevant and profitable of them:

Opportunities for earning in this segment today just huge, and they keep growing.

First of all, this is due to the stable growth of mobile traffic. and the number of Internet users around the world. Thousands of new online stores, publishers, blogs, etc. are emerging, which in turn creates excellent niches for small businesses.

1 YouTube channel - you can make videos about how to craft, cook, clean, catch or plant something. Anything. You won't believe how many people use YouTube every day - hundreds of millions. The more views, the more profit. It will come from clicks on contextual advertising, and if you become a very popular video blogger, then from direct customers.

2 Blogging - starting your own blog is now easy, fast and very cheap. Millions of people surf the internet looking for stories, guides, reviews, travel reports, and more. If you write a lot and interestingly, you will very quickly gain a permanent audience and a high attendance rate.

In this case, you will receive income from contextual advertising, as well as from placing banners of direct advertisers. You just need to learn how to be interesting about things you know or places you've been to and it will start making money.

3 Copywriting agency. Many webmasters, online stores and web portals need competent and qualified specialists who can proofread or edit an article, write a selling text using the NLP technique, prepare an ideal press release, etc. Demand for quality services in the field of creating and editing Russian language and English-language content at the moment is huge.

4 Freelancing a wide range- Freelancers used to be considered programmers, photographers, designers and others. Today, the situation has changed radically, as there is a great demand for ordinary services that can be ordered via the Internet. Large portals and entire exchanges have appeared where you can earn your first capital by doing what you are best at. Now anyone can call themselves a freelancer: an electrician, a teacher, a writer, even a lawyer and many others.

5 Creation of a mobile application- suitable for those who already have programming skills. Demand for smartphone apps in 2017 is perhaps higher than ever. If earlier the lion's share of them was complex and high-budget software, now it is a golden time for small and convenient programs. There are two ways to earn money here. The first and simpler one is for developing the application and handing it over to the customer. The second (more difficult, but also profitable) is from online sales of applications in mobile markets (AppStore, PlayMarket, etc.).

6 Selling your photos to photo stocks- as the amount of content on the Internet is growing exponentially, there is a great demand for photographs on various topics that publishers need to design articles. If you have a good camera and know how to use it, you have a chance to make good money at your job. There are about a dozen large foreign photo stocks (online stores selling photos and pictures) that are constantly looking for new images.

7 Resale of goods from online auctions— eBay, Avito, OLX, Aukro, etc. The level of income in this business model is very dependent on your knowledge of the items you decide to resell. In the CIS, the online sale of things is not yet very developed, so the range of items, as well as the number of potential buyers, is lower than abroad.

8 affiliate marketing- it is also called affiliative (from the English "affiliate"). The essence of this business idea is that if you already have a website (preferably informational or overview), then you can place banners of a partner company on it (as a rule, these are large online stores, for example, Amazon) to promote its products or services. If a user goes from your site to a partner site and buys something there, then you get a commission of 4% to 15%. The most profitable niches for this are electronics, household appliances and e-books.

Food

The general trend in the field food products and public catering is a clear trend towards greater naturalness and usefulness of food, as well as a factor of originality and mobility.

9 Author's pastries- if you know how to bake deliciously and you have an original idea, then this business idea will be the best for you. The best option there will be a choice of a very narrow niche, for example, author's eclairs, eco-cookies for children and adults, pies according to forgotten recipes, handmade sweets, etc. Do not chase volume, focus on quality and presentation.

10 Food delivery from supermarkets and restaurants. Relevant for big cities. Of the investments, you will need a website with the possibility of online prepayment, as well as a description of the full range of products of the most popular grocery and restaurant chains.

11 Unique sweets both in form and content. In terms of the first, this is the manufacture of sweets and cakes to order. As for the composition, now the use of exclusively natural ingredients is considered original. Such sweets sell well at food festivals and fairs.

12 Mobile eateries- we are not talking about those "booths" with shawarma that "migrate" from one metro station to another. In this business model, an event or event that brings together thousands of people plays a key role.

It can be a multi-day festival, a concert, a large fair, etc. At such events, there is always a demand for fast food and the like. The organizers of such events are almost always open to small businesses, and you can make good money.

Various services

This section includes diverse business ideas that may be of interest to a wide range of people who want to start their own business from scratch.

13 Interior designer, decorator- this is an option for people who have a gift for combining interior items, the colors of various elements, which is supported by knowledge of the rules of good taste when decorating rooms. the best advertising your business will have ready-made apartments, so it is advisable to establish cooperation with a company that deals with repairs.

14 Niche (narrow profile) consulting- is such a business idea that really requires minimal material investment, but requires a lot of knowledge from you. The key to success is to become the best consultant in a very narrow niche.

15 Repair of appliances - in every house it only becomes more. Accordingly, the demand for technical non-warranty service is growing every year. To get by in this case with small investments, you can start by renting a very small room (you can even in the basement).

16 Real estate agent is a rather old idea, but you can implement it in your own way and start to stand out from the mass of your fellow fishermen. For example, to specialize exclusively in commercial real estate or in a narrow target audience (for example, foreigners).

17 Writing and formatting a resume- sounds very simple, but at the moment there are already several recruiting agencies in the CIS that provide this service as an option. It is especially popular for applicants who wish to get a job abroad. The cost of such a service varies from 50 to 300 USD.

18 Sale of rare imported goods- refers to the resale of consumer goods for a narrow purpose, and not rare or antique items. For example, from China, you can regularly order all kinds of inexpensive devices or devices that are either not available in our countries at all, or only a few people sell them. The best place to buy such products is Alibaba.com.

19 Restoration of furniture and antiques– in our time, specialists who are ready to “breathe” new life in old objects, very few, but there are many things that need them. Therefore, if you know how to do this, then take a closer look at this business idea. You can start with advertising on Avito or OLX.

20 Author's driving courses - there are hundreds of people who want to improve their driving skills. Some want to learn extreme driving, others want to improve their driving skills on highways or in heavy traffic. Experience, an individual approach to the client and a flexible schedule of classes will be your trump cards.

B2B (business services)

Providing various kinds of services in new small niches (sub-niches) that large companies do not go into is a very promising business idea that can be implemented with minimal investment.

As a rule, such services are based on understanding what your enterprise customer needs and knowing where to find it. Undoubtedly, strict requirements are imposed on such services in terms of their quality and qualifications of performers.

21 Research of foreign markets and consulting on these issues. First of all, this concerns the study of new promising directions for the export and import of goods. China, for example, does not count, since it has already been explored far and wide. However, much less is known about trade with countries such as India, Indonesia, Mexico, and Malaysia. If you have a working knowledge of these regions, you can make good money advising companies that are interested in them.

22 Search for highly specialized personnel. In addition to finding good lawyers, accountants and sales managers, many companies have vacancies for which it is very difficult to find a qualified specialist. As a rule, this applies to rare technical, medical and interdisciplinary specialties, as well as top management.

23 Internet marketing and research. You have no idea how many online stores exist that do not track the interests and behavior of their potential customers, as well as such global parameters as market size, number of competitors, price fluctuations in a niche. If you can collect, systematize and arrange such information with high quality, you will definitely not have a lack of customers.

24 Project management is the management of a large project (as a rule, IT or the development of a business development strategy) or its part of a large foreign customer. Working in this business will require you to be fluent in a foreign language and have excellent knowledge in the area in which you will need to provide services. Very often, such a business is opened by former employees who worked on similar projects, gained knowledge, understood how it works and decided to open their own business.

25 Outsourcing is the search for subcontractors for a foreign customer who has undertaken major project(IT, advertising, production). Basically, the main criterion for finding outsourcers is good workmanship at a low price. That is why many European and American projects are partly made by guys from India, Pakistan, of Eastern Europe. If you know and understand how this can be arranged, this business idea is for you.

26 Local courier delivery– with the growth of Internet commerce, the demand for prompt and inexpensive delivery is increasing. Major players in this market inflate prices, and the goods come only the next day. This business idea is based on services for the delivery of goods within one locality on the principle of "delivery on the day of order".

27 Remote IT Services. Large companies have their own IT departments or at least a system administrator. A small business is not ready to have a separate specialist on staff, the need for whose services may arise once a month. But, since hardware is not forever, sooner or later they need to tune hardware or software. Today, many of these problems can be solved remotely, which makes it possible to work even with foreign clients.

28 Remote Accounting- as in the case of IT services, such services will be of great interest to small businesses (mainly individual entrepreneurs). The need for regular reporting, keeping records in strict accordance with the law, as well as the inability to maintain a full-time accountant, force entrepreneurs to seek the help of remote accounting and audit specialists.

For the countryside

Let's make a reservation right away that the realities of our villages are such that in the village itself you are unlikely to be able to sell something. But! The village is an excellent platform for a range of business ideas. If the village is located near the city, then this is very, very good.

It is at the expense of urban residents that you will earn your first capital. So, most likely you have a house (dacha, garage) and a land plot there. Naturally, you need to make the most of these resources and here are some suggestions for you.

29 greenhouse cultivation- on the one hand, many people already know about this idea, but on the other hand, quite a few undertake to implement it. But in vain, because fresh vegetables and fruits grown in the village can be easily sold in a nearby city at a good price. You will receive the greatest profit in early spring. The spectrum of what can be grown is very wide and necessary information you can find on specialized forums.

30 Raising chickens and quails- demand for meat poultry(and eggs) will always be. Even having a small plot, it will not be difficult for you to buy and maintain meat or egg-bearing breeds of chickens or quails. You will definitely need an additional refrigerator (for eggs), and a freezer for storing meat supplies.

31 Breeding fish - at first it may seem that this is an overly expensive idea, but, in fact, it is not at all. You can start artificially breeding fish even in small tanks with a volume of 2-3 cubic meters. The main thing here is to ensure uninterrupted filtered water, proper nutrition and maintaining the desired temperature. You will definitely not have problems with the sale of fish, since it is always in price because it is both tasty and healthy. For example, there is a site that is entirely dedicated to the benefits of such a breed of fish as mackerel http://skumbriya-retsept.ru/, a whole site of recipes. And he's very popular.

32 Homemade feed mixtures for animals. Small farmers have to buy feed from resellers with a double or triple mark-up. As a rule, in the village you can get a variety of cereals at a very low price. Knowing the composition of the compound feed (can be found on the Internet), as well as having even a small Soviet grain grinder and the appropriate ingredients, it is possible to produce from 20 to 100 kg of ready-made feed mixtures per day with minimal investment.

33 Manufacturing and assembly of furniture- you will need many different tools, as well as material, but you have a place where to do it. Ideally, such furniture is best made to order on a partial prepayment basis. In such conditions, you can both make furniture from solid wood, and assemble cabinet furniture from chipboard according to catalogs.

34 home preservation- in fact, it is an optional idea, that is, an additional option for what else can be sold to the "urban". As a rule, conservation made by hand at home by a skilled housewife has a number of advantages over factory counterparts. It is these advantages that should be voiced when selling. Jam and pickles are the most demanded in this segment.

35 Homemade bait mixes for fishing- as in the case above, it is rather a way extra income than a single business idea. You will not be great work find recipes for various dry baits for different types of fishing. At cost, a kilogram of your mixture will cost 3-4 times cheaper than branded counterparts. The first customers for your product can be found on specialized fishing forums.

Best of all, of course, if you can do everything that is listed above in this list. A stable good income will help you move to a different level of the economy: with hired personnel, regular customers and even your own brand.

Animals

Caring for pets, especially thoroughbred ones, is always associated with certain costs for their owners. Here are some business ideas on how you can make money in this area.

36 Grooming. Have you noticed how many dogs of small (almost decorative) breeds have become? Yorkshire terriers, Shih Tzu, Chinese Crested, Havanese and many others need regular grooming. Believe me, their imposing owners will only “for” their shaggy “miracle” to be professionally cut. Plus, there are a number of cat breeds that are trimmed for the summer. Of course, such a business idea makes sense only in large cities.

37 Training. At the same time, guard dogs are also always in demand. Owners of shepherd dogs, standard schnauzers, cocker spaniels, rottweilers and others will be interested in the primary professional training of their pets. Naturally, you must have the proper experience and skill in handling such animals.

38 Breeding purebred cats or dogs. The business idea may not sound new, but if you start breeding rare, and not "pop" breeds of animals, you can make good money in the long run. Greater success here can only be achieved if there is relevant experience and knowledge in this area.

39 Eco-friendly cat scratching posts are a pressed solid cardboard of a certain ergonomic shape, which is most convenient for animals. As a rule, harmless corn glue is used in the production. In Europe, such scratching posts can already be found in every pet store, but for now they can only be found in large cities.

Handmade

The largest section in this article. This segment is one of the most popular in 2017, and here you can find a lot of good business ideas with minimal investment.

The key factor will be whether you have certain skills and abilities in a particular craft. Believe me, a quality handmade product will always find its buyer.

40 Versatile outerwear for kids- many parents know that children's jackets and overalls are very expensive, and their range is very small. Moreover, as a rule, they are enough for a maximum of one season. As an alternative to factory-made clothes, there are already small ateliers that offer individual tailoring of children's overalls. If you know how to sew and model children's clothes, think maybe this business idea is worth paying special attention to.

41 Ceramic products- especially for products polymer clay. You will need a minimum of time and investment to start making various crafts. They will have a fairly low cost and you can easily sell them.

42 Handmade decorations will always be in demand. As with other handmade ideas, fantasy plays an important role here. Creative approach and high-quality execution will provide you with the first and regular customers. Feel free to post examples of your work on social media.

43 Knitting - but only if it's not banal scarves and socks. The core of this business idea is knitting something very original. For example, one Ukrainian craftswoman began to knit blankets from very large links. She came up with a very original product, which at the moment became very popular, especially in Europe.

44 Master classes (courses) modeling, knitting, sewing and other handicrafts. Again, this is very simple. If you know how to do it, there is a place for a group, there is a desire - spend, teach, have fun and money.

45 Handmade signboards. More and more shops, salons and other small businesses refuse plastic signs. There was a good demand for quality products made of wood, metal and other natural materials. Your potential customers are shops in the mall, fast food restaurants, various beauty studios and others.

46 Tailoring of covers for furniture- a narrow, but rather low competitive niche. Such covers, for example, are very necessary for sofas and armchairs in families with children or pets. Everyone will agree that it is cheaper to order a cover that is easy to wash than to buy a new sofa.

47 Stained glass manufacturing. Another type of "garage" production, which can be implemented without significant investment. You can start with small stained-glass windows, which are often needed by private furniture makers. In the future, you will have orders for large canvases that will decorate someone's rich house.

48 Memorable children's souvenirs- absolutely any child will be pleased to have a small cup on the shelf for his success in sports or any hobby. This will be for him a source of pride and motivation for further development. Author's memorable gifts will be ordered as ordinary parents as well as kindergartens, schools and sports clubs.

49 Mobile trading. Recently, especially in large cities, near shopping centers or at weekend fairs, you can increasingly find small portable "shops" of people who want to sell their crafts. This is a great opportunity not only to sell your product, but also to popularize your brand or product. As a rule, in such cases, the fee for the right to accommodate compactly is very small (from 1,000 to 3,000 rubles).

beauty and health

In this area, there have always been a large number of small and low competitive niches in which you can easily start a business with minimal investment.

50 yoga instructor- one of the most popular ideas for business in 2017, especially among women. If you have knowledge in this area, you just have to find a cozy room for group classes. You can promote your services through Facebook.

51 Healthy nutrition consulting- another good idea, the emergence of which is dictated by the growing popularity of a healthy lifestyle. For starters, it doesn’t hurt to start your own blog or Facebook page and share your experience. In the future, people will begin to contact you for advice on diet, child nutrition, and much more.

52 Beauty salon at home- a common and well-known idea. This is a great option for starting your small business on the way to opening a full-fledged hairdresser or salon. During this time, you will be able to develop an excellent base of regular customers.

53 Visiting make-up specialist- a good option for big cities, where every day there are all kinds of events and there is a need for the services of a stylist-make-up artist. From investments, you will need high-quality cosmetics, tools, Instagram accounts, and then a small site with many photos of your work.

54 Art tattoo studio. It is impossible not to notice that the number of people with permanent and temporary tattoos has increased significantly in recent years. Today it is possible to apply temporary tattoos and henna paintings, which are very popular among today's youth. Such a studio does not need a lot of space, but you will have to invest in good equipment and materials.

Entertainment and leisure

Despite the crisis, people try not to forget about entertainment. In the conditions of limited foreign tourism for citizens of the Russian Federation, the demand for domestic tourism, organization of corporate parties and holidays, as well as various master classes.

55 Aerial photography with a quadcopter is perhaps one of the most modern business ideas that is rapidly gaining popularity around the world during 2016-2017. Investments are minimal - only the quadcopter (drone) itself. With it, you can shoot stunning panoramic videos that will appeal to newlyweds, organizers mass events etc. With this technique, you will leave far behind your competitors who are used to making banal videos.

56 Bike tours. The community of cyclists in the CIS has grown 16 (!) times over the past 10 years. There was a whole mass of people who are ready to break into a long bike trip. Such tours can be organized for the weekend (local areas) or for several days (travel abroad). Now your hobby can become a full-fledged small business.

57 Organization of trips. As with bike tours, this business idea will appeal to those who have been hiking all their lives. The most profitable will be long-term international routes, which far from poor people will be ready to decide on. Having such experience behind you, you can easily organize such group trips.

58 City tours. This idea is especially relevant for tourist hubs, where visitors are willing to pay well for visiting local attractions and interesting story about their history and origins. Investments in this case are minimal: you need to take special small courses and successfully pass the exam.

59 Master classes on tourism and survival. Another new business idea that will appeal to experienced lovers of extreme tourism. Many novice tourists know absolutely nothing about equipment, physical training, climate, flora and fauna in a particular area. Such master classes are in demand in big cities, where people of medium and higher incomes are preparing to go on hikes of high complexity.

60 Event management. Services for organizing holidays, concerts, festivals and other major events are also popular today. You have probably noticed how many street food festivals, marathons, and charity fundraisers have been held these days. Event managers and agencies are behind their successful organization.

61 Master classes in drawing and other creative crafts. If you are a creative person who has been doing this as a hobby for a long time, then it's time for you to make money from it. A large number of people strive to learn how to draw, sculpt, embroider, sing beautifully and much more.

62 Organization of children's holidays. Along with big "holidays" for adults, there is a need (demand) for organizing children's events. Birthdays, New Year's holidays, promotions for children's shops or salons - all this requires the development of a special program, the selection of costumes and performers. Provide all this to the customer "on a silver platter" and start earning.

63 Dance lessons for adults- this is still a good idea for those who have been dancing all their lives and decided to open their own business. You just need to find a good hall, come up with a specialization (Latin, ethnic or other dances) and advertise on the Internet.

64 shopping consultant- at first glance, this sounds frivolous, but, for example, several such consultants are already successfully working in Moscow. Thanks to your sense of style, knowledge of the latest fashion trends and other important news, you can become an indispensable assistant for wealthy women and even men.

Educational services

As in the old days, many people are eager to learn something new, develop and improve their skills. In the age of the internet

65 Cooking master classes. So far, only chefs have been doing this, and then only as a part-time job or for TV shows. However, if you have the skills and the ability to rent a kitchen, you can regularly conduct such practical exercises. Believe me, in large cities there is a demand for this.

66 Organization of seminars and conferences. Here we are talking exclusively about the idea of ​​organizing these events. Considering the huge number of seminars being held today, the demand for such services is extremely high.

67 Own training webinars. An excellent business idea, which is already used by thousands of trainers, experts and other professionals. This model is convenient because no one needs to go anywhere. Everything happens in the form of an online conference. You, as the organizer, only have to bear the small costs of using the service, which makes it possible to hold webinars.

68 Tutoring. This idea is perceived by many as a side job, but in fact it is not. Here a lot depends on the level of income from classes, and it, in turn, depends on the field of knowledge and the audience with which you will work. The most profitable will be individual tutoring for top managers, specialists who are preparing to leave to work abroad, etc.

69 Own educational portal. Sounds big, but you have to start small. You must create unique training material for a specific niche of professionals. This material needs to be formatted in a variety of forms: articles, videos, infographics, etc. Ultimately, you will be able to build an entire course in your discipline and sell it successfully.

70 Coach for personal growth and motivation. This idea is viewed with skepticism by many. Largely due to the "bad" fame of some of these coaches, who are well PR, but teach little. If you are a very energetic person, you know how to light a fire in the hearts and heads of other people, then this path may be for you.

Clients (customers) are your everything!

So remember one of essential rules to start any business with minimal investment — people, your potential customers should know about your skills, your services or product.

You can be the world's best mechanic, trainer, artist or bake the most delicious pies, but if only you know about it, you will not earn money.

Believe me, with the advent of the first customers (provided that they are very pleased with you), the next customers will not be long in coming.

Our team sincerely wishes you success in your new business!

Guess what is the most popular reason for those who would like to start their own business, but keep putting it off until later?

I don't have money for this!

This is not only a common "excuse", but also a delusion.

After all, there are various ideas for business with minimal cost , which can be realized with a minimum start-up capital.

Which of them can you implement, and what will you need to start instead of money?

Ideas for a business with minimal costs: do you still need money?

An attentive reader should have noticed that the article is talking about the minimum costs, and not their complete absence.

The fact is that it is impossible not to spend anything at all on an entrepreneurial business.

At a minimum, you will have three categories of business costs:

Salary for your loved one.

If you left your usual place of work to do business, you can hardly do without money.

Therefore, the profit will be spent, at a minimum, on your personal expenses.

bureaucratic payments.

When it comes to real business, and not a modest part-time job, you will have to face the need to draw up certain papers in government agencies.

And this requires money. A simple IP registration will already cost you 800-1000 rubles - and this is if you do everything yourself.

Regular expenses.

Every business needs fixed costs of money.

They can be minimized, but completely eliminated will not work. Business without investment simply will not develop.

As you can see, there are enough sources of expenses.

And if the first point can still be abandoned until the time when the business begins to bring tangible profits, then you will have to pay out of your own pocket for registering and developing the business.

However, these costs can indeed be kept to a minimum.

5 tips for beginners on how to start a business with minimal costs

Don't stop learning.

It is very good if at the time of starting a business you already have a knowledge base and good experience in some area.

But it's even better if you keep improving your information literacy all the time.

This applies not only to the main topics of the work, but also to various organizational issues. The better you know them, the harder it will be for our employees and partners to fool us.

Get ready for the challenge.

It would seem that everyone already understands that their own business will take almost all their free time and effort.

Moreover, the first time you can not wait for profit.

More precisely, income that you can safely spend on yourself.

All funds should be directed to the development of the business.

If you are not ready for this, you will quickly "break".

Use connections.

Even if you think that promoting a business with the support of acquaintances is “pull” and not fair, do not disdain this method if possible. Advertising yourself is nothing to be ashamed of.

Your services can really be needed and useful to acquaintances, so just talk about them.

Don't do business for money.

When a person motivates himself first of all, he will not invest enough in the cause.

Solve problems.

Offering your customers a toilet light or perforated rubber boots can also make you some good money.

But a real business with a future is only an offer that will solve people's real problems.

What to open a business with minimal costs: TOP 5 ideas

1. Open an advertising agency with minimal costs

This statistic proves it:

Meanwhile, to open your own, minimal costs are required:

Staff.

At the start, you can work on your own. Unless, of course, you are an ace in advertising.

To expand the scope of services (respectively, to scale the business), you will have to hire a couple more people.

It is desirable that everyone specializes in their own area.

With them, you can agree on work "at a percentage".

Then you can deduct payroll costs.

Room.

As long as you work on your own, the office is useless.

Even a team of people can work without renting a room, because specialists can solve problems remotely.

However, in the future you may need to meet with clients, partners.

Doing this all the time “in neutral territory” is not very convenient and solid.

But it’s worth being honest: promotion without costs will be less effective and longer.

You form the prices yourself, having studied the average indicators on the market and assessing your level of professionalism.

At the beginning of the journey, it makes sense to work on low prices to "stuff" the clientele.

2. Beauty services at home - a business with minimal costs

Minimum investment in business: 3,000 rubles.

It will not be a secret to anyone that beauty services at home are in demand. Especially now, when people have to “shrink” in expenses, but they don’t want to completely deprive themselves of amenities.

What can be done at home?

• haircuts,
• painting,
• work,
• bromaker work,
• holiday or everyday make-up and styling,
• a number of cosmetology services (masks, facial cleansing, massages).

To implement this idea, the following minimum investments are required:

Room.

Obviously, by providing services at home, you will not need to rent a salon office.

However, you still need to equip your place. A rare client wants to be served in the midst of domestic chaos.

Staff.

In this case, you do not need anyone's help.

If you have "third-party" tasks (for example, create a personal website), you can delegate this work to specialists.

Now for this business area, Instagram “works” best of all.

The sphere of beauty services is, first of all, a visual product.

Beautiful photos + use of geotags and hashtags = promotion at no cost.

The services listed above are not a one-time “goods”. People will come again and again if they like everything. And those who want to develop their business can think about opening a full-fledged salon in the future.

3. Private club for children - minimum cost

Minimum investment: 20,000 rubles.

For some, time spent with a child is just noise, din and hours spent. And others have a special talent to find a common language with the kids.

This is already a good reason to open your own business at minimal cost - extracurricular activities with kids.

As a rule, to teach skills to children, you do not need to be an ace. Babies will have enough basic information.

To choose the direction of business, be guided by statistics:

The cost of starting a business will depend on what exactly you plan to do. At a minimum, you need study materials.

If you are engaged with each child face-to-face and do not receive huge profits, the activity can not be registered.

But if you start to collect entire groups, you can’t do without the IP status.

The best advertisement for this business, as well as many other options, is word of mouth. Ask people you know to spread the word about you to get your first customers. If you conduct classes that are really useful for children, the fame of this will quickly scatter, and the business will develop.

4. Is it possible to make money on holidays with a minimum of expenses?

Minimum investment: 6,000 rubles (design courses + advertising).

If you think that we are talking about the business of organizing holidays, then you are mistaken. This type of activity will require an investment of at least 30,000 rubles (and this is the most economical option).

But making decor for events is another matter.

Colorful decoration sets the tone for the whole holiday. If once the decor could be considered just a nice addition, now they rarely do without it (but what about the beautiful shots on Instagram?).

Do not think that this sought-after niche is devoid of competition. On the contrary, to be “on a horse”, it is not enough to have a creative streak. You have to attend refresher courses, look for new original ideas.

There is also a significant plus: you “beat off” your minimum business costs already with the first order.

5. How to make money on equipment with minimal spending?

Minimum investment: 6,000 rubles (purchase of tools).

Many samples of modern technology confirm the thesis: it is easier to throw away the broken and buy a new device than to repair it.

But if you say goodbye to a mixer or an iron, this will not really hit the budget, but they still prefer to repair a broken computer or washing machine.

This fact is a reason for the equipment repair business to be not only a business idea with minimal costs, but
also a highly sought-after direction.

You can repair the equipment at the client's home or take small devices with you. The set of necessary tools depends on what exactly you will be repairing.

And this choice, in turn, depends on your skills and experience. If you cannot fulfill the order, this is a minus. But it's even worse if you break the equipment completely.

A big plus of this business is that profit does not depend on the season. Technology breaks down all the time. If you want to expand the business, you can hire additional assistants. To legally conduct business, you need to issue an IP.

Low-Cost Business Ideas: Why Can They Fail?

So that the chosen business idea with minimal investment (like any other) does not fail, it is important to observe 3 principles:

Business should be based on what gives sincere pleasure.

If your eyes do not burn, and there is no sincere fuse, at the time of the crisis, your hands will drop very quickly.

Yes, and the development of the business will be difficult, because this requires sincere passion.

The idea should appeal to the target audience, not just your loved ones.

Testing the demand for a niche on friends and family members is very convenient.

However, in order to make a profit, you must offer something that will be demanded by potential customers "from the outside."

There must be a "chip".

Unless you have a startup based on a unique innovative idea, you are guaranteed to face competition.

After all, now there are no niches where you will become a “pioneer”.

The sphere can be either partially filled, or “to the eyeballs”.

Therefore, without a twist that will distinguish you from other entrepreneurs, you should not count on a high income.

In this video, Pavel Bagryantsev will tell you

how to build a business with minimal investment, based on personal experience:

To find low cost business- that's only part of the story. Even the most popular and well-thought-out idea does not work on its own.

If you are really determined to achieve success, despite the fact that there is no start-up capital, we hope that the ideas collected will inspire you.

It is customary to think that business is strict business suits, Lamborghini Urus for 20 million, Rolex watches, meetings in Moscow City and other stereotypical attributes. This is not entirely true, because these attributes are only the consequences of the hard work of entrepreneurs. Most of them started from scratch. Many did not have the money for a grand start of their enterprise, so they coped as best they could. If in your heart you are already driving a brand new sports car with might and main, but there is no money in your pocket, then we recommend that you explore business ideas with minimal investment. Perhaps you will like one of them and it will be the first step towards a big goal.

Toilet paper businessman

If you don't know the term "toilet paper businessman," you haven't read Mike Mikalowitz's Startup Without a Budget. It is dedicated just like us - entrepreneurs without money.

The main point of the book is that we should do the maximum with the minimum. He compares creating a business with minimal investment to the unpleasant situation when you went to the toilet, emptied yourself and found that there was no toilet paper. Of course, you won't go with a dirty place, but use all sorts of ways to wipe yourself off, including lecture notes, a juice glass, or receipts from stores. It's the same with business. If you do not have a budget, you must use all methods, try everything in a row and in the end you will achieve your goal.

You may not have money for equipment, but you can buy used on Avito. The budget for attracting customers can be zero, while there is free ways attract customers who can be used.

illustrative example

Do you think it is realistic to beat Starbucks and a hundred other coffee shops in St. Petersburg with a budget of 50,000 rubles to attract customers? Most will say that the niche of coffee houses is completely filled and it is impossible to break through there. But it's not.

In St. Petersburg there is a coffee shop Sokol COFFEE. It is absolutely standard, they sell ordinary coffee there and the owner did not have millions of rubles to attract customers, but at the same time people who almost do not drink coffee come to them. They have a really big flow of customers and people love this coffee shop.

They achieved this with one simple idea, by hiring several artists who draw a portrait of the buyer on the cup while the coffee is being prepared. As a result, visitors took photos of their portrait on Instagram and thereby advertised this coffee shop themselves.

This is one of the examples where you can increase profits many times over with a minimal budget. Therefore, the excuse “I don’t want to open a business because I don’t have money” is not relevant.

How to determine the demand for an idea?

To understand which business will be profitable and which will be unprofitable, it is necessary to analyze the niche, especially if your investments are minimal. Every ruble counts, so you can’t just throw money around.

The first thing to do for analysis is to open https://wordstat.yandex.ru This is a service from Yandex that allows you to analyze search queries by number, region and season. It should be noted right away that 50% of the population in Russia uses Yandex, the other half uses Google. This means that all results can be safely multiplied by two.

Let's give a banal, but illustrative example, we are going to start selling Christmas trees and we do not know the demand and when to do it. Let's enter the query "Buy a Christmas tree" and we will see that in Yandex at the time of this writing (in March) almost 17,000 people want to buy a Christmas tree, along with Google there will be 34,000.

By going to the “By Regions” tab, we can determine that 379 * 2 = 758 people want to buy a Christmas tree in Yekaterinburg at the moment.

And the "History of Requests" tab will demonstrate that the demand for Christmas trees begins in November.

We recommend that you play around with this service and try to enter various queries there. If the entered query returns null values, you should not get upset and think that no one needs your idea. People themselves do not know what they want until they are offered something. Perhaps your idea will become new within the city or even within the country.

You need to earn 1 ruble and repeat it a million times

Many people think that business is something very complicated. This is partly true, any enterprise that brings in millions of rubles has a large number of complex business processes.

But in fact, any business idea can be fit into one sentence "Earn 1 ruble and repeat it a million times." All that is required of you at the first stage is to figure out how to earn a ruble. You must figure out how to do it.

When you learn how to earn one ruble, you need to start thinking about how this can be repeated a million times. For example, you made an interesting toy for children with your own hands and sold it on Avito for 500 rubles. Congratulations, you figured out how to earn a ruble. Now this needs to be repeated many times. This is where business processes come into play. You hire an assistant and make twice as many toys. Then you hire a third, fourth assistant and earn four times more. To make even more profit, you need to somehow learn how to produce even more toys. You hire an engineer who assembles a toy production line and sells hundreds of times more.

This is how business is done, so first of all you have to find a relevant idea that will bring you at least some money.

Of course, there are niches where scaling is very difficult and you can hit the ceiling at some point. Then you can sell the business, start a new one in parallel, or do something else so that your income continues to grow.

No one will tell you about good ideas

Usually new business ideas for a million dollars with minimal investment come to everyone's mind, but not you. Have you ever looked at an idea and thought "Why didn't I come up with it?". So these people who come up with such ideas do not sit idly by.

Even if you put a brilliant entrepreneur in a locked room for 60 hours and wait for him to come up with a profitable idea, he will not do it. The brain can only generate good ideas based on past experiences. If your experience in IT is zero, then you are unlikely to be able to come up with a brilliant IT startup that will be used all over the world.

A great example is Mark Zuckerberg. He created the first version of Facebook with his own hands in just a few days. But he did not have the insight that this idea would be popular just like that. He studied programming hard, developed a huge number of unsuccessful projects, behind him a huge number of failures, but at some point everything came together and he created Facebook.

The conclusion to be drawn from this is to try to do business. If you are waiting for some moment, waiting for when you come up with a brilliant business idea, then we recommend that you stop doing it and start acting. You have a huge number of failures ahead of you, the faster you understand which business ideas do not work for you, the faster you will find a good idea.

Is it worth taking out loans or debts for a business?

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, that's true. The more money you have, the easier it is to start a business. But if there is not enough money, then there are two options: look for a relevant niche and open a business with minimal investment, or take loans and debts.

With regard to debts for the sake of business, entrepreneurs are divided into two categories. The first argue that if you decide to start your own business, then you need to immerse yourself in it completely and cut off all return paths. That is, you need to quit university, work, borrow money and credit. Then you simply will not have options not to succeed, the brain in this case works more actively, because it understands that there is no other choice.

Another category considers the former to be complete cretins and in no case recommends doing all this. If you belong to the second category, then this article is written just for you. Next, we will analyze which business can be opened with minimal investment and without quitting your job.

I want to sell an apartment and a car for the sake of business!

Also, we want to make a small warning for those who decide to go all out. Yes, you can quit your job, take on loans, debts, and sell your car. But in no case do not sell the apartment. Real estate is a great asset. You can rent it out. It is not worth investing in a business apartment in which you are not sure or have not earned a single ruble yet! If you have an extra apartment, then sell it and invest in the business only when you are 100% sure that it will pay off.

Why is the goal important?

Surprisingly, many people do not set themselves any goals at all. If you are one of them and want to start your own business, then it's time to break this habit.

Goals in business are like a compass to a ship. You need to understand where your business is heading. You need to take a big goal and break it down into subgoals, thereby creating a route map to success.

A good example, we produce with our own hands and sell 100 toys per month. Next year we want to earn 10 times more. To earn 10 times more, we need to produce 1000 toys. It is impossible to do this with your own hands, so you need a conveyor. The conveyor costs 100,000 rubles, so the sub-goal is to buy a conveyor.

Goals should be clear and written down on paper. And most importantly, sub-goals must be achieved, then you will move forward and succeed!

If you are looking for an idea for your business with minimal investment, then the first goal will be to earn at least 100 rubles in any niche. The sub-goal will be to understand which business idea works, and for this you need to test at least 10 of them.

Top 10 Bad Business Ideas

We want to protect your cash and tell you where you do not need to climb with minimal investment. These are terrible ideas and with a 99% chance you will lose time, money and nothing on it.

Bad Idea 1: Franchises

The first item in our top is franchises. We may be taking bread from ourselves and many others by talking about it, but 99% of cheap franchises will not bring you any profit.

The idea of ​​a good franchise is to scale your business that is already profitable. Such franchises are usually expensive and the investments there are large.

Good franchises are:

• McDonald's
• subway
• fix price
• other

The main goal of a bad franchise is not to scale your business, but to sell the franchise. They may offer you to open a cool business with a quick payback and large incomes. In this case, investments will be 100-200 thousand rubles. Therefore, do not even look at opening a franchise business with minimal investment, they will earn money for you, but you will not be able to recoup your investment.

Bad Idea 2: Soap Making

The second bad idea is soap making. This topic has become very popular among aspiring entrepreneurs. Thousands of people make soap of any shape, color and then try to sell it to someone.

The difficulty in this niche lies in the fact that the entry threshold is too simple. It is too easy to make soap, so a huge number of people have become engaged in this. The number of offers greatly exceeded demand, and those who are smarter began to open stores that sell all the necessary accessories for making soap.

If you don't have a large marketing budget (and if you're reading this article, you most likely don't), then trying to make big money in this niche is useless. If you can earn more than 10,000 rubles a month in this niche, then this will already be a huge achievement.

Bad Idea 3: Mining Farm

As you probably know, the cryptocurrency boom is over. Bitcoin has become worth much less and those who have accumulated debts and invested in miners are now up to their ears in problems. We highly discourage investing in this niche for the following reasons:

• Huge competition- again, due to the too simple entry threshold, competition grew in this niche at lightning speed, but in the end, as usual, those who have more money won.
• Unstable market- even if bitcoin or some other cryptocurrency grows again to millions of rubles, do not invest money in it. This is too incomprehensible and unpredictable market. The rate can grow for months, and when you invest, it will fall sharply and you will lose your money.

Learn from the mistakes of others and do not invest in cryptocurrency.

Bad Idea 4: Vending

Vending machines are small boxes that do sales without the participation of people.

These machines do the following:

• Food trade- such as chocolate bars, water, crackers or chips.
• Sale of piece goods- headphones, shoe covers, toys, condoms.
• Providing services massage chairs, ticket sales.
• entertainment- Instagram photo booths, games for kids.

All this is sold on the principle of bad franchises. The most profitable thing for the owner of a vending business is selling to another. By purchasing such a device, you get a huge number of problems. But the main disadvantage is that in most cases they are not in any demand and you do not make a profit.

An exception may be when you are the owner of some premises and decide to install such a device, for example, in your store. You don't have to pay for renting a place, but it's worth trying a new source of income.

Bad Idea 5: Stalls

Some believe that opening a small stall is easy, cheap, and the profit in a good place will be big. It has its own pitfalls. To obtain permission to install a stall, you need to obtain many permits from the city administration. If you want to do this next to a culturally significant object, then placing it is even more difficult.

The second pitfall is that all the good places where you can relatively easily accommodate in a crowded place are occupied.

Even if you find a good place, buy cheaper or make a stall in your garage, you will still need to invest in the goods that will be sold in it and for marketing. So this idea doesn't work.

Bad Idea 6: Small Shop

This is an absolutely crazy idea that you can hear from aspiring entrepreneurs. They have 300-500 thousand rubles and they want to open a small store, in the hope that it will quickly pay off and be profitable.

The minimum investment will make you save on employees. You will have to work on your own and look for relatives or friends to help you. But this is not the main problem.

The problem is that you have to save on rent. A good, high-traffic space is relatively expensive and you won't be able to afford it. You will have to rent a cheap, small, badly renovated room in an impenetrable place. Let's say you can make repairs with your own hands, but it is very difficult to attract customers to a store that is not clear where.

In any case, you will need money for marketing, but you do not have any, so this idea will fail.

Bad Idea 7: Renting an island

With the rental of islands, as with small shops, the same problems. In a walkable mall, the rent will be too high. In a deserted place, there is only one way to attract customers - by selling unusual goods which cannot be found in other stores.

The problem is that it will take a large amount of money to purchase these products, and our article suggests that we will help you find business ideas that you can start with minimal investment.

If you don’t have a huge batch of interesting goods at hand that will find demand among buyers, then this idea is no longer needed. The only option would be to make goods with your own hands and sell them on the island. But this idea is difficult to implement, since you will have to attract at least one relative who will trade your products while you are producing new ones. Also, in this case, a large assortment is important, and its development can take a huge amount of time.

Bad Idea 8: Buying Big

An important mistake of novice entrepreneurs, which we want to talk about, is the purchase of large quantities of goods. Resale entrepreneurs feel too confident after the first few sales and make the next order too big. They invest almost all their money in one large batch, and as a result, it turns out that they simply stop buying the product. Yes, they managed to make a few sales, but this does not mean that things will go the same way in the future.

If your business is built on the fact that you resell goods, then follow the market, analyze competitors, analyze people who have bought goods from you. And most importantly, do not buy in large quantities. Make your purchases varied.

Bad Idea 9: Slow Implementation

Procrastination equates to business failure. If you are a slow person, stop being slow and get faster. There are very objective reasons for this:

• Competitors- your enemies are not asleep and also think how to make money for them. If you delay the implementation of your idea, someone else can implement it.
• Fast growth- the more mistakes you make on your way, the faster you will understand how not to do it, but how to do it. If you spend months thinking about the implementation of some idea, then it will not lead to anything good. You are not Vanga and you cannot know whether an idea will work or not. Therefore, the most correct option would be to implement your ideas for C grade, but the main thing is to quickly and look at the result.

Bad Idea 10: Stocks

Traders, offers to open a PAMM account, investing in stocks - you will not earn money on all this. This is not a business, it is difficult to make any forecasts here and, of course, many companies seek to make money on you.

The real way to make money in stocks is to make big investments for the long term. For example, if you invested a large amount in Tesla stock in 2013, you could make good money now.

Their shares grew by 528% and if you had invested 1,000 rubles in 2013, you would now have 5,280 rubles. Excellent growth, but unfortunately, we cannot predict which company will succeed and which will fall apart. It makes no sense to invest small amounts, and analysts are involved for large investments. At the same time, we all need to wait for the company to grow for years, so this idea does not suit us.
It is worth starting to invest in stocks only if you already have a good business that brings a lot of income and you want not to lose your money, maybe even increase it.

This is where the analysis of bad ideas ended and we move on to good ones!

103 Good business ideas with minimal investment

We want not only to give you a fish, that is, to tell you which business is profitable to open with minimal investment, and which is not, but also to give a fishing rod so that you yourself can search for and determine profitable niches. All 103 ideas are divided into 10 blocks and in each of them you will find instructions for finding a good business idea.

sell your dream

The phrase “Sell your dream” may not sound very good and may be misunderstood by many, but it holds great potential in finding niches.

It will be much easier to explain it using the example of a specific company. In order not to give advertising, we will not voice the name of the owner and the name of the company. There was an entrepreneur who was very fond of traveling with a large group of people, because it is more fun and interesting than alone. He loved not just holidays in Turkey, but some kind of extreme hikes, such as climbing a mountain, but this requires money. Equipment for riding motorcycles in India, equipment for climbing a mountain, all this is expensive and ordinary people who want to relax on their holidays rarely attract this type of vacation. As a result, he opened a company that organizes travel for entrepreneurs with a large average check. Now he travels to the most unusual corners of the earth with his clients and earns money on it.

From this we must draw the following conclusion: if you dream about something, be sure that you are not the only one. Organize a business around your dream, find clients who have the same dream and offer them to make their dream come true for money.

Below are examples of such business ideas.

Idea 1: Organization of parties

The easiest way to sell a dream is to organize parties. This topic is especially popular among young people. At all times, young people loved to have fun, drink and meet new people. You can negotiate with various clubs to host events, then advertise on social networks and profit from ticket sales.

prospects

Regular savings of profits will allow you to collect a large amount, which will allow you to create your own club in which you will hold your parties. Thus, you do not have to share profits with anyone.

Idea 2: Local tourism

Roughly speaking, this is the organization of excursions to small regional cities. We assure you, having traveled through any region of Russia, you can find many interesting locations where you can bring city tourists.

Negotiate with local residents of small towns that they will treat your tourists with some folk food or drinks, as well as conduct excursions. Then look for those who want to visit the folk corners of their native land and earn money.

prospects

In the future, you can organize more tours and involve other people to delegate business processes.

Idea 3: Creating a community of interest

In the 21st century, people have a huge variety of interests and hobbies. There are feminists, wrestlers, domestic car enthusiasts, depressed people, and many others to make money off of.

A great example would be a feminist club where only women can join. There they discuss pressing problems, and participation in it is paid.

prospects

Creation of a huge community of interests that will generate income through holding events in large cities and branches in small ones.

Idea 4: Fashion photo studio

The era of Instagram has come and people want to have beautiful photos in their profiles. Demand can be met by opening a photo studio with an unusual interior. It should not just have bare white walls, but be with some kind of zest and provide services for organizing professional photo shoots.

An interesting option if you organize photo shoots with unusual animals, such as foxes, leopards or owls.

prospects

Scaling such a business is a very complex process. At some point, you may hit the ceiling of your small town, and then the only point of growth will be the opening of the same studios in other cities.

Idea 5: City tours

Most often, the target audience of such a niche is foreigners. Demand is real in many cities, but foreigners eager for city tours are very hard to find. If you are confident in marketing, then this niche is for you. The downside is that in some cities there are no foreigners at all, or at least tourists from other cities. Another disadvantage is the monthly profit ceiling of 50,000 rubles for a city with a population of 500,000 people.

prospects

A good point of growth is to conduct excursions to neighboring cities. It is very difficult to find other development options in this niche.

Idea 6: Organization of concerts

Music is in real demand these days. There is a huge number of musicians that people want to see in their cities. Open social networks and look for someone you could organize a concert with.

And we are not talking about some major musicians like Alla Pugacheva. We are talking about unpopular artists who are loved by young people. If none comes to mind, then open social networks and look for them. There are really a lot of those.

prospects

Further development of events can have two directions: the organization of large concerts, or the organization of large parties.

Idea 7: Arranging dates

The business with the most minimal investment is the organization of dates. As a rule, such services are addressed by guys who want to impress their girlfriend. How to organize dates is up to you and your client, but the options may be as follows:

• On a boat with a musician
• on horseback
• In the woods
• Decoration of the apartment for a date
• etc.

prospects

There is a specific model for increasing profits in this niche. For example, you can provide additional services to customers by selling flowers and toys. Or dating services will be associated with secondary businesses. Example, you arrange a date on a carriage. You can not rent horses, but buy them and hire an employee who will manage them.

Idea 8: Recording Studio

Many dream of becoming cool musicians gathering thousands of halls. Give them the opportunity to start their career from your recording studio. In some small towns there are none at all, so there is simply no competition.

The important point is that you must invest in marketing. Few people will be ready to just take the first step towards their dream.

prospects

The expansion of the business can be the opening of outlets in neighboring cities, or the opening of an adjacent business, such as a music school.

Idea 9: Extreme Maze

Remember the show Fort Boyard where people completed various tasks to get a prize? Did you feel like taking part in it when you watched it? Of course yes, and you are not alone!

Organize some test strip and spend in the city advertising campaign. Most importantly, keep your attraction safe, people should not be injured, so everything should be soft, like in a trampoline center.

prospects

If you can make something cool and unique, then it's entirely possible to develop a business by franchising. At the first stages, you can open new points according to the principle of dividing shares, and then open a full-fledged franchise.

Idea 10: Minigolf

Full-fledged golf is very expensive and is considered the game of aristocrats. Another thing is mini golf. He is very popular in the US, but not at all popular in Russia.

Low popularity does not mean low demand, because bowling was once unpopular in our country too. So you need to open a mini-golf and take care of quality marketing.

prospects

Creation of a full-fledged entertainment center is a very real prospect. You can open a full-fledged center that will include mini-golf, rides for children and other family entertainment options.

Idea 11: Paintball Club

The advantage of this niche is that you can open it with minimal investment. To hold games, you need some kind of venue, you can rent the most illiquid area and it will suit you perfectly. No need to make repairs, carry out communications. Just buy equipment for the game, find a site and attract customers. This niche will always be relevant.

prospects

Unfortunately, simple ways there is no development here. It is difficult to expand, it is difficult to find new customers, so there will be difficulties with increasing profits.

Business & Events

In business, you should always keep your finger on the pulse and these are far from empty words. Any event that takes place in our world is beneficial to someone. You need to recognize this and learn how to make money on it.

Read news from all areas where you can create your own business in the future. And it’s better, of course, to read all the news in general, then you will have more information and more likely that you will have some kind of idea worth a million dollars.

For event analytics, use:

Experience is very important in finding event ideas. Here, only the brain that has the most experience can generate an idea. Therefore, we recommend reading other people's stories, news and articles on business.

An event is a lightning thing. Today you can earn millions on it, and tomorrow nothing. If you are interested in a stable business that has been operating for years, then this is not for you. But if you want to snatch several million rubles per month, then below we will give examples of such events on which you can earn.

Idea 12: LOL Dolls

More than a million search queries per month, hundreds of thousands of participants in social networks, a huge number of videos on Youtube - all this is about the LOL doll.

It is a very popular toy for children. The demand for it is simply huge and if you can’t make money on it, it can only mean that your entrepreneurial skills are not enough yet. Try different marketing methods, social networks, online stores, traffic arbitrage. You can try to come to any store with a presentation about this doll and offer to buy a batch of these toys from you. In general, there are a huge number of ways to make money on this.

Idea 13: Agriculture

The sanctions have affected Russia and this is a plus for agriculture. You can choose any niche: breeding fish, crayfish, gobies. Or growing: berries, fruits or vegetables.

You can earn at the moment on anything. Many entrepreneurs have understood this and have long been actively pouring millions of rubles into the domestic Agriculture. And of course, a huge plus is that you can start any business in this niche with minimal investment. It will be enough to find a site outside the city and start your own business there.

Idea 14: Organize rap battles

This topic will be completely incomprehensible to people over 35 years old, but the younger generation can capitalize on this.

The most watched battle in history took place in Russia. It has been viewed more than 40 million times and this entails a huge audience that is interested in it.

In order to somehow make money on this, first of all you have to find local battle rappers who are ready to fight among themselves, then agree with the bar where the event will take place. Followed by a social media campaign. You keep the profit from the sold tickets, and the bar earns from drinks.

Idea 15: Coworking

If more than 200,000 people live in your city, then you simply have to open a co-working space and start earning. The 21st century has given rise to a huge layer of people who do not go to regular work, but earn money on the Internet. These are programmers, designers, copywriters and many others. All of them, as a rule, work from home and they simply lack a working environment and communication.

Coworking is an office where people come to work.

Every year the number of remote workers is growing, so if your city does not yet have a good coworking space, then you should definitely open one.

Idea 16: Flowers for hire

Many consider this topic wild, and some earn millions of rubles in February and March. February 14 and March 8 are holidays when any girl wants to receive a beautiful bouquet of flowers as a gift.

Not everyone has boyfriends, but all girls want to upload beautiful photo to your social networks with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Therefore, they resort to flower rental services.

The business model is elementary: you advertise on social networks that you provide beautiful bouquets for hire. By the holidays, you buy beautiful bouquets and hire couriers who travel with them and take pictures of girls.

There are times when a girl does not need a simple bouquet of flowers and she asks a guy to order flowers for hire instead. Yes, it all sounds crazy, but it makes a profit, the main thing is to run a good advertising campaign on social networks.

Idea 17: Rose Bears

Rose bears are the trend of 2019. Most likely in the future it will be more difficult or even impossible to make money on it. Make them or resell them. They are in great demand and girls love them. If it lasts until 2020, then a great option would be to make money on the New Year, February 14 and March 8.

Most likely, this trend will come to naught very soon, so once again we urge you to follow social networks and other sources of information in order to understand what people are buying and what not.

Idea 18: Isolated Internet in Russia

In Russia, there was a bill to isolate the Internet. What could she threaten? It threatens pessimists with something bad, and optimists with profit. If someday the Internet is isolated in Russia, then this will be an excellent growth point for entrepreneurs who work in the IT field. Users will have to switch to Russian analogues of Instagram, Twitch and other services that simply will not exist. If you have time to quickly create some kind of project people need, then you can become a millionaire.

Idea 19: Services of Santa Claus and Snow Maiden

Everything is simple here. Every year and in every house where there is a child, Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden are needed. Most likely, there is no need to explain what they are doing.

Some wonder why there isn't huge competition in this niche? The thing is that this business is more for young entrepreneurs. It can be earned once a year. And for most it is not interesting to repeat it every year.

By business in this niche, we mean not just congratulations to children. You can rent costumes for those who want to make money on it. Or create a full-fledged earning business for students: conduct a global advertising campaign for parents, and then the same for students with an offer to earn money on New Year's Eve.

Idea 20: Trade in Christmas trees

The New Year is, of course, a major event where you can earn in a hundred different ways. One of these is the Christmas tree business. Of course, millions of rubles in this niche for one New Year hard to earn. Although if you grow them on a huge plot of land and then trade them yourself, then this is quite possible. But usually Christmas trees are simply purchased from suppliers and then resold somewhere.

As additional products, you can trade Christmas tree decorations.

Idea 21: Toys for children

Children's toys are one of those niches that lends itself very strongly to events. For example, the cartoon "How to Train Your Dragon 3" comes out and with it the number of sales of dragons in children's stores is growing dramatically.

To understand what toys are in demand, you need to analyze the Internet and large corporations, because they pour a huge amount of money into the analytical department. For example, we can look at what is currently sold in Happy Meal at McDonalds and also start selling the same or similar product.

Fashion trends

A business built on fashion trends is very similar to an event business, but in this case, an enterprise can exist for a huge amount of time, and then transform into something else.

The essence of the search for ideas in this method is the following, something happens or something develops and you make money on it. To make things clearer, just take a look at the ideas below.

Idea 22: 3D Printing

Scientists are already trying to 3D print living human cells. We are certainly not scientists, but we can still find useful ways to use this thing.

There are two earning options here:

• Print to order
• Or the production of some products and their sale

In principle, the first and second options can be combined.

prospects

In the future, it is possible to grow into a large custom-made organization. Also, 3D printing technologies do not stand still and most likely, in the future this direction will become very popular and profitable.

Idea 23: Creating a 3D Human Model

This topic is very unusual and requires a competent approach in marketing. The essence in this case is simple, you invite a person or a couple of lovers to your studio. You analyze their body from all sides, since the business will be built from scratch, and investments should be minimal. Body analysis will be using a simple camera. Then, based on the images, a 3D model is built and printed.

To be successful in this niche, you have to be a good marketer because you will have to package the business nicely and convince them that they need this 3D model.

prospects

In small towns, such a business will bring a maximum of 90,000 rubles per month. Larger cities can count on very decent profits.

Idea 24: Quests

Everyone loves quests, and those who don't like just never went to them! In Russia, this niche is quite fresh and unfilled. You can come up with a cool script, decorate the room with your own hands, then run an advertising campaign and start making money.

prospects

If you manage to come up with interesting scenarios and there will always be a large flow of people for your quests, then you can try to open a business by shares. 50% is invested by you, and the other half by another entrepreneur. After opening several such quest rooms, you can start creating a full-fledged franchise.

Idea 25: Shooting from a quadcopter

Quadcopters have given our world a huge amount of beautiful shots. They fly high and record high-quality videos.

Many people want to get a beautiful video from some significant moment in their lives. Like from a wedding. And this is where you can offer aerial filming services.

The most logical way to find clients is to cooperate with wedding agencies. Offer them your services, and they will offer your services to their clients, taking some percentage for themselves.

prospects

The best option for development would be the provision of services for filming and editing videos.

Idea 26: VR attraction

VR is not the first year on the market and it is already difficult for them to surprise anyone, but do you know about Kat Walk VR? This is new system to destroy monsters: you stand in the center of a treadmill that rotates in all directions, put on VR and pick up a machine gun.

Residents of many cities have not yet played this game, so such a device could be installed in any shopping center.

prospects

Unfortunately, there are no options for the development of such a business. At best, you can sell this device when profits start to fall sharply.

Idea 27: Barbershop

Modern men are becoming more demanding of their appearance. They are no longer satisfied with the usual haircut for 200 rubles in the first barbershop that comes across. For entrepreneurs, this is very good, because beautiful packaging a hairdresser in a barbershop increases the cost of the average check by 5 times. At the same time, there is no significant difference in the services provided.

prospects

This niche is not easy, but it’s really possible to grow into millions of dollars here by opening a few more barbershops or beauty salons.

Idea 28: Outdoor Yoga

Even 20,000 rubles will be enough to implement this business idea. All you need is mats and additional yoga equipment.

You will collect groups of people who want to work out on the Internet, and then take them all to nature in your own or rented car. Well, on the shore of some beautiful lake you can conduct classes.

The difficulty here is only in the collection of the group. You need to do this with the help of social networks and competent marketing.

prospects

If you can gather a large base of regular customers, then in the winter, in any case, they all need to be sent to the premises. The logical direction of development in this business would be the opening of a yoga center.

Idea 29: De-stress room

Such rooms work according to the following principle, the client comes to you, you give him hammers, axes and a helmet with goggles, and then he blows your room to smithereens.

The only difficulty here is that after each session you do not have equipment and you constantly need to look for it somewhere. Tables, chairs, TVs and other things that can be found in any office or apartment. A good option would be to buy such things on Avito.

prospects

It is quite realistic in a city with a population of 500,000 people to reach a monthly net profit of 100,000 rubles.

Idea 30: Alcohol Museum

It should be noted right away that for such an institution you will need a license for alcohol.

The essence of the alcohol museum is that a client comes to you, you lead him through the exhibits, tell him something interesting and let him try various drinks. Any drinks have some kind of history, just use Wikipedia and remember it.

prospects

After your performance, tipsy clients will want to continue their adventures and it would be a great option if you can place a small bar or restaurant next to it.

Idea 31: Rent clothes

The number of celebrations and events has grown significantly in modern Russia, and it is quite expensive to buy a new suit or dress for everyone. Rentals of suits and dresses come to the rescue.

Such services are usually used for a wedding, for some other holiday or for a photo shoot.

prospects

Business realities are such that in a small town it is difficult to reach a profit of more than 80,000 rubles, but it is quite possible that clothing rental will be the first step for you to open a full-fledged store.

Idea 32: Pickup point

More and more people are shopping online. This is a good trend, the growth of which has not stopped yet. Buyers do not like Russian mail at all for poor-quality and long delivery of goods, so in order to somehow make money on this, we can create an online store order pick-up point.

You don't need any special equipment to set up your business. The most important thing is to find a good place in a densely populated area, since we will receive income for the delivery of each product.

prospects

In the future, this business will bring in much more money due to the growth of Internet trade turnover.

Mediation

An intermediary is a person who connects the seller and the buyer. In this niche, you can grow and earn millions, the main thing is the right approach.

In the market, you can become an intermediary of absolutely any service. Let's take an example from practice. The organization has been promoting websites in search engines since its inception. They have a lot of experience behind them and at some point an idea came to their mind, should we become an intermediary? They created a regional site about eyelash extensions, promoted it in search engines and a flurry of customers hit them. Of course, they do not know how to build eyelashes, and all clients go to a beauty salon, with which they share the profit.

The bottom line is that if you have learned how to search for or attract customers, then this is very good, because there will be no problems with their monetization. Contact any office by offering them a stream of your customers and they will agree in any case.

Idea 33: Selling someone else's goods

Dropshipping is the sale of other people's products. Your task is to find a client, and payment, delivery and further maintenance lies on the shoulders of the organization.

The main question here is where to find a customer for a particular product? They are usually found on the internet. Advertising is purchased on websites, in social networks and in contextual advertising. The costs here are quite small by the standards of the business. Your main task is to make sure that the cost of attracting one client is no more than your percentage of the sale.

Idea 34: Realtor

Everyone always needs apartments: either buy or rent, or vice versa. This market is quite incomprehensible to the average person, so realtors come to the rescue. You can start work alone, and when you have enough experience, you can grow to a full-fledged real estate agency.

A huge plus is that demand can be found in any city. Of course, at the first stages you will not earn much, but in the long run such a business can bring hundreds of thousands of rubles.

Idea 35: Cargo transportation

Here your task is to find a person who needs to transport the cargo, and then a driver with a truck and several movers (the number depends on the size of the cargo).

This business niche is perfect for men who want to start a business with minimal investment. The bulk of the spending in this niche is advertising. You spend some part of the money on advertising, and send all the customers you can attract to performers. At what proportions you will share the profit depends only on your ability to negotiate.

Idea 36: Apartment renovation

The same idea can be attributed to the construction of buildings, cottages or baths. The essence is the same, we are looking for clients and a repair organization, and then we connect them.

The average check in this niche is quite high, so you will receive good profit. The competition here is also very high. All customer acquisition channels are already very crowded and without experience in marketing, at first you will have to spend a small amount on tests to understand what works and how.

Idea 37: Website development without skills

Now any business has an old website that needs to be updated or created from scratch if it is new business. The bottom line here is the following, web development studios themselves cope with attracting customers from the Internet, but they do not work offline at all.

They do not call organizations with suggestions to improve the site, and as a result, increase sales. Take the portfolio of some website development company, then find the worst and oldest websites of existing organizations and offer them services to improve the site.

Of course, without experience, nothing will come of it, and perhaps 50 or 200 calls you will receive refusals. But this can be done with minimal investment of money and time.

Idea 38: Legal Services

When a person has legal problems, at first he tries to deal with them on his own. He reads codes, articles on the Internet, then he realizes that this is just a huge topic that he cannot master and is looking for someone to help him.

Services here are expensive, so even a small percentage will bring you a good profit. The best way to find potential customers is through advertising on the Internet, but if you have any other interesting options, then that's very good!

Idea 39: Equipment rental

Often, some people require some kind of specialized technique. For example, a tractor, crane, quadcopter or something else. To make money here, you need to create some kind of page on the Internet, to which you will send customers and order advertising (contextual, targeting, or some other).

Idea 40: Holding shows and holidays

Holding various events requires special organization. This is especially true for weddings and graduations. The easiest way to make money on this is to find an organization that does this and offer them their customers.

Where can you find clients? You can find them, for example, in communities about weddings. Place an advertisement there that you provide wedding organization services and send clients to a real organization and receive a certain percentage.

Resale

Reselling goods can be the first step to opening your own store. It is worth noting that if you find some product that is in demand and sell it several times, you can get drunk on the feeling of success. After that, you invest all the money in a large batch of goods and your sales plummet. We highly recommend that you do not make large purchases, because you may end up with a large batch of goods that you cannot sell.

Idea 41: Joint Procurement

Let's say you want to start a business with small investments in the resale of some product, but in order to get good discount wholesalers need to order a large batch of goods. The best way out of this situation would be to team up with other similar start-up entrepreneurs, chip in and make this purchase joint.

As a result, you will receive the quantity of goods you need at a low price and you can earn good money by reselling it. We recommend to unite from 2 to 10 people.

Idea 42: Cars

There is always a great demand for cars. Since we have to keep within a small budget, it is worth starting a career with domestic cars.

An interesting option would be if you expand your business idea a little. You buy a car, fix it in your garage, and then sell it for a higher price. In the future, it is quite possible to grow to the point where you can open your own car dealership.

Idea 43: Equipment for business

Most businesses close in the first year and you can make good money on this. To cover losses, entrepreneurs sell their equipment: shelving, showcases, furniture, etc. If it is not too worn out, then it can be bought at a low price and then resold.

Such a business idea does not require large investments and in the future you can open your own used equipment and furniture store.

Before you start buying equipment, we recommend that you first test the demand for it. To do this, try placing ads on Avito for the sale of a particular product and see what is being bought and what is not.

Idea 44: Smart Vacuums

Smart vacuum cleaners are becoming more and more popular. They solve a real pressing problem and are liked by their owners.

You can earn on them in the following ways:

• Buy a small batch and sell them individually on various sites or social networks.
• Arrange with the owner of some small household appliances store that you will supply him with smart vacuum cleaners and purchase large quantities from manufacturers for this. You will take a certain percentage for yourself, and if you manage to negotiate with several stores, then it is quite possible that you will be able to make a good profit.

Idea 45: Chinese goods

Quite a popular topic, which is slowly starting to become obsolete. There are already a huge number of businessmen on various bulletin boards who are trying to sell their product.

It is important not to make a mistake with the choice of goods and buy exactly the one for which there will be demand, so first of all you need to do some niche analysis. You should immediately warn you, a certain percentage of goods from China is coming defective. Stores just throw it away and you should do the same instead of trying to sell it to someone.

Idea 46: Broken appliances

This business idea is perfect for men with golden hands. We open bulletin boards and look for various broken equipment. As a rule, it is sold very cheaply. You buy it, fix it, and then sell it.

To increase profits, in the future it is worth hiring assistants who will help you repair equipment. You can agree with them on a fixed salary, or work with them by sharing some percentage of the proceeds. Of course, in order to test the viability of the idea, it is worth starting to work alone or together, and only then hire additional employees.

Idea 47: Auto Parsing

Another business idea that is perfect for men. You buy a broken car, then you dismantle it for parts and sell them. For such a business, you will definitely need a garage to store those same parts. It is ideal to have two garages, in the first you will work, and in the second you will store spare parts. Over time, there will be a lot of them, some will be stale for months and you will really need some kind of warehouse.

Before buying a car, do not forget to take care of the distribution channels and analyze the demand.

Idea 48: Bluetooth headphones and speakers

Modern people are very fond of listening to music. And at the moment, Bluetooth headphones and speakers are especially popular. There are many options to resell them, and investments are small.

You can:

• Resell used equipment
• Sell ​​new equipment from manufacturers by the piece
• Become an intermediary between the manufacturer and some small store

At the moment, this is a really popular product on which you can make good money with minimal investment.

Idea 49: Pawnshop

This is best idea if you are looking to open a business with minimal investment. Just rent a room in the city center, place a beautiful Pawnshop sign and wait for customers.

Of course, to organize such a business, you will need some amount for which you will buy things, but you can start with 100,000 rubles.
If such a business model in your city turns out to be successful, then in the future you can open several more of the same points that will generate profit.

Idea 50: Vapes and electronic cigarettes

Vapes and electronic cigarettes, as well as liquids for them, are very popular goods with a high mark-up. You can buy them from suppliers in Moscow, and then come to your city and sell them.

We recommend that you immediately declare yourself on the market by selling at a low price. Then, in the first months of work, you will be able to put together a large base of positive reviews that will force future customers to buy goods from you.

DIY

This block is more suitable for men, although women can use some ideas. If you have a garage or cottage, then you can open a small business with minimal investment. The main point here is that you will produce something with your own hands and sell it.

All business ideas born in the garage have a global perspective. For example, you came up with some kind of thing that you can produce and sell. You cannot earn millions alone and you hire people who will help you. They started working alone, then they hired one assistant and doubled the profit, then they hired another one and tripled it already. At this rate, it is quite realistic to grow into a large organization that produces something.

Idea 51: Souvenirs

The most important thing in this case is to find distribution channels. You can produce souvenirs and sell them online on bulletin boards, on your own website, offer your products to retail or wholesale stores.

This niche has a low entry threshold. A very large number of people can make, for example, a nesting doll. Therefore, you should come up with some unusual ideas for souvenirs that people will want to buy. Such a home business will not require large investments from you, the bulk of the costs will go to the purchase of equipment, supplies and attracting customers.

Idea 52: Cleaning apartments and cleaning furniture

If you are not afraid of dirt, then cleaning apartments and cleaning furniture can be a great option. You buy the necessary inventory and supplies, then place ads that you provide cleaning services and earn money.

As soon as you find customer search channels and accumulate a large number of positive reviews, you can hire an assistant to help you clean up. In this niche, it is quite possible to start a business from scratch and then grow to a large cleaning company.

Idea 53: Selling Your Skills

Let's say you know how to skillfully open various locks. Very often people require such services because they forget the keys. You can provide your skills for money.

The more demand for your skills, the more profitable for you in the long run, because you can hire assistants and earn more. And if the demand for your skill is too low, then sooner or later in your city you will hit the ceiling and you will have to move to another city or country in order to earn more.

Idea 54: Own a clothing brand

This idea is only suitable for those who are well versed in fashion and marketing. In fact, all clothes are produced in approximately the same way, and when buying an expensive item, you pay primarily for the brand. The main task of the clothing manufacturer is to make the brand as popular as possible.

This is a rather difficult idea to implement, but quite real. You can start by offering your services to artists or companies that need branded clothing. They usually do not have time for this, and you can shoulder tailoring and all logistics.

Idea 55: Car Repair

One of the most profitable business ideas in the garage - it's car repairs. The difficulty here lies only in attracting customers. Usually word of mouth works well in such cases, you provide quality and cheap services, then your customers tell their friends about you and generate new customers.

What services you will provide depends only on your skills and budget. For some repair work requires expensive equipment, and with a minimum budget you can not afford it, so you need to start small.

Idea 56: Appliance Repair

A profitable idea is to repair appliances: smartphones, computers, washing machines or something else. Repair services greatly wind up the price tag for their services and you can easily get around them by providing their services cheaper.

To create a flow of customers, we recommend ordering professional website development and promotion. If the budget is extremely limited, then you can offer your services on bulletin boards. In the future, when there is a stable demand for your services, you can hire an assistant.

Idea 57: Toy production

There has always been and will always be a demand for baby products. You can manufacture toys in your garage and then sell them to retailers or wholesalers. If the toys are of great interest among buyers, then a flurry of new orders will fall on you. To fulfill them all and not lose potential profits, you can hire employees who will help you.

In addition to regular stores, toys can be sold on the Internet.

Idea 58: B2B niches

The abbreviation B2B stands for "Business to business" or in the Russian version "Business for business". Your customers in this case are other businesses.

An example of such cooperation, find several companies that make apartment renovations. Their clients order artificial countertops for the kitchen and they have to buy them somewhere. You can produce engineered stone countertops in your garage and sell them at a bargain price to these construction companies.

There are a lot of options for working in the B2B segment, just look at other businesses and think about what they need.

Idea 59: Apartment decoration

Owners of golden hands and some marketing skills can put together a small team that will be engaged in finishing apartments or some other repair work.

The demand for such services is always and in any city. Most importantly, accumulate a portfolio and a large number of positive reviews about you. Then customers will come to you.

You can start this business without investment at all, then hire a team, and in the future create a full-fledged construction company.

Idea 60: Production of playgrounds

The cost of one playground can exceed 200,000 rubles. And even if you fulfill one order per month, then you will have some profit. A huge plus in this niche is that playgrounds are now in great demand. They are both needed for new homes and for old yards.

The prospects for development here are quite large. You can start from your region, and in the future produce playgrounds for the whole of Russia. It is worth noting that this is not the easiest production, so already at the first stage you may need helpers if you find some kind of large order.

Idea 61: Transportation of goods on the Gazelle

To start this business, you need to invest in the purchase of a Gazelle, then you need to find movers and clients. There will be difficulties with the latter, because you are not the only one who wants to earn money.

You can search for clients not only on the Internet, but also using standard methods: distributing business cards, advertising in an elevator or in a newspaper.

When you find the most profitable channel for attracting customers, you can retire and hire a driver.

Idea 62: Making furniture

You can start a furniture making business in your garage. You can produce hull or soft, and then sell it to stores or on the Internet.

A much more profitable option with online sales, but in this case, you will have to spend a lot of money to attract customers. If you have no experience in this topic, then it is much better to just agree with some stores and sell your products to them.

It is quite possible to earn more than 50,000 rubles on this if you work alone. Having put together a full-fledged team, profits can increase several times.

Idea 63: Tile production

Another profitable business idea that can be implemented with little investment is the production of tiles. The best option would be if you find several construction companies who will need your tile.

Of course, you can try to sell it on the Internet, but this option will be more difficult.

Not less than an important factor here is the product quality. If you can’t make high-quality tiles, then it’s better to pick up some other idea.

Idea 64: Production of metal structures

Extremely promising direction where you can start your business with a small initial investment. At the first stages of work, it is possible to produce some simple metal structures and gradually take on more and more complex and expensive orders.

Most of the investment will go to the purchase of equipment, consumables and customer acquisition. In the future, you cannot do without employees, so as soon as you start receiving many large orders, you immediately need to take care of hiring staff.

Idea 65: Making ovens

A profitable and relevant idea is the manufacture of stoves or fireplaces. A beautiful portfolio is of particular importance here. No one wants to put an ugly fireplace in their home, so this is something to keep in mind. For the sake of a portfolio, you can make beautiful stoves or fireplaces for your friends and relatives, or at a big discount for customers.

A great way to attract customers in this niche is the Internet, so we recommend investing in advertising and a marketer.

Idea 66: Auto-match

Everyone wants to have a good car at the lowest price, but not everyone is ready to understand a huge number of small nuances. If you are a car lover, you can do auto-selection. Investments here are minimal, it is enough to buy a minimum set of equipment and get to work. The only thing you can't buy is experience. Therefore, first of all, you need to think about whether you should climb into this niche or not.

The theme of cars is very popular on the Internet and to attract customers, you can order advertising from some autoblogger.

In the Internet

The Internet erases many boundaries. You can make millions while on the beach, but it takes hard work. A huge plus is that you can open such a business at home with minimal investment. You can start with 1,000 rubles in your pocket, and after a few years you will become a millionaire.

It will be a huge plus if you speak English. Then you can earn not only on Russian market but also abroad. Also, do not forget that IT is a rapidly changing environment. Today you figured out how to earn a hundred thousand rubles a week, and tomorrow the market has changed and you are left with nothing.

If you have learned how to make good money on the Internet, then we highly recommend diversifying risks and investing the money you earn in some other business.

Idea 67: Youtube Channel

The minimum set of investments in this niche is a phone with a good camera and a computer for editing videos. Next, you need interesting ideas. If you have something to tell or show to a large audience, then you can earn very good money from it.

Girls shoot various videos about relationships and love, and men can upload some extreme videos or training videos, for example, on repairs.

For 1000 views Youtube Direct Affiliate Program will pay you from $2 to $10 depending on the topic. To somehow increase profits, you can offer ads in your videos to direct advertisers.

Idea 68: Own website

A rather complex idea that requires skills from you: a marketer, copywriter, programmer and designer. You can invest any amount of money in your own website, and after six months you can earn 10% of this amount every month.

This is a very difficult niche, and if you feel that you are not well versed in it, then we recommend improving your knowledge by taking various training courses, or choosing some other direction. A huge advantage of this niche is that you can open a business and assemble a team without leaving your home. All you need from the equipment is a laptop with Internet access.

Idea 69: Yandex Zen

Yandex Zen is a resource where you can publish your articles and earn on them. There are two options for development:

• You write articles yourself.
• You order writing articles. The size of one article is approximately 5,000 characters, the cost of such an article will be approximately 150-200 rubles.

If you choose the first option, then you have no risks. You just write articles, analyze which topics readers like best and write on them. If you are going to create a full-fledged business and invest in buying articles, then it is very important that a lot of people read the articles in order for them to pay off.

Idea 70: Twitch

Twitch is a streaming platform. It usually hosts streams of games, but recently the usual communication with people has become quite a popular destination.

To make money on this site, you must have a large number of viewers and subscribers who will watch your ads and send you donations (donations).

The most important thing here is to produce some interesting content live. If you are a beautiful girl, then you already have a major advantage, because for the most part Twitch audiences are male, and a beautiful girl will surely interest them.

Idea 71: Marketing Agency

Everyone always needs clients and if you are well versed in digital marketing, then you have every chance to establish your own agency.

Clients can be searched online or offline. Ordinary shops, beauty salons and other establishments very often forget that you can get customers from the Internet. You can remind them of this and offer your services to attract customers from the Internet.

You don't even need an office to start a business. In the early stages, you can work from home. The most important thing you should have is a large portfolio that will prove that you are a competent specialist.

Idea 72: Web Studio

The main activity of web studios is website development. Of course, they can engage in attracting customers and organizing marketing campaigns, but still, the main specialization is website development.

If you can draw beautiful designs or are into programming, then you even need to invest money to start a business. It is enough to find a second partner who will program or draw a design, depending on what you know yourself.

In the event that you do not have the skills, you will have to invest a small amount to hire two employees.

Idea 73: Accounting Services

Many companies require outsourced accountants, they pay them about 3-5 thousand rubles a month, and this saves them from hiring a full-fledged accountant on the staff.

You can negotiate with several such companies and earn good money from the comfort of your home. In the future, it is quite realistic to open a large firm that will provide accounting services.

Idea 74: Social networks

Social networks are a great idea for investing your money. There are many options here: the thematic community VKontakte or Odnoklassniki, Instagram is more often chosen by girls, Twitter with the publication of some interesting things.

You can start such a business with 100 rubles, most importantly, publish interesting content that users will like.

It should be noted that the older the social network, the more difficult it is to break into it, since all the niches are already occupied. The exception would be to create communities around a rapidly growing idea. For example, mining has suddenly become popular, those who created a community on this topic in time have made excellent money, and now it is already very difficult to get into this topic.

Idea 75: Writing Articles

A huge number of information resources need some kind of articles and you can make money on it.

The options here might be:

• Write articles yourself
• Or become an intermediary between the customer and the contractor

It is unrealistic to earn millions here, since on average they pay from 20 to 50 rubles for 1000 characters, depending on the complexity of the requirements.

The specifics in this niche are as follows:

• Copywriting- writing articles from scratch. You are given a topic, a plan, and you have to write an article on it.
• Rewriting- Rewriting other people's articles. You are given sources from where to get information and you must rewrite it with your own hands.

The ceiling in this thread is 50,000 rubles if you are going to fulfill orders yourself. As an intermediary, you can, of course, earn more.

Idea 76: Translation of texts

An excellent option would be if you speak some foreign language, and preferably several at a good level at once. Then you can earn money by translating foreign texts. Such services are required not only for students, but also for large organizations, so you can secure a stable flow of customers.

In the future, you can hire assistants and become an intermediary, earning a percentage of orders.

Idea 77: Traffic arbitrage

Traffic arbitrage is the real digital marketing. The bottom line is that you choose a client and advertise it. For each client you bring, you get some amount of money and your task is to make sure that the cost of attracting one client is lower than the amount that you will be paid for it.

Quite a difficult niche. Here you need to understand how to write headlines and descriptions for advertisements, as well as correctly select pictures.

At first, you will not earn anything at all and all the money will go to testing ads. When you accumulate enough experience, only then will you be able to make some profit.

Look West

The world does not stand still and every year more and more people come into our lives. modern technologies: electric vehicles, 5G networks and more. All these innovations come, as a rule, from the West. So if you're having trouble finding business ideas, just look to countries with a more developed consumer culture, such as the US.

The ideal option is just to come to another country and not lie on the beach, but go shopping, the streets and see what they earn money on. You will surely see at least 10 business ideas that are not yet in Russia.

If you do not have the opportunity to escape abroad, then we recommend learning a foreign language, reading foreign news and watching programs. In general, you need to get as close as possible to Western culture, at least with the help of the Internet, and then you will see some ideas that work for them.

Idea 78: Pickup courses

Many guys have difficulty dating girls. They are misbehaving, insecure and need help. For this, pickup courses are created, in which experienced men teach others the intricacies of dealing with girls.

The smaller the population of the city, the less you will earn. Therefore, we do not recommend even trying to take such courses with a population of less than 200,000 people.

Idea 79: Exotic Store

This idea is more suitable for large cities, it is that we will sell exotic products that are not found in ordinary grocery stores.

By exotic products, we mean rare fruits and vegetables for Russia, but it is possible if you trade in some unusual semi-finished products or meat.

Such a store can attract a lot of attention and your investment will pay off very quickly. On the other hand, you can make some mistakes and never pay back your investment at all.

This niche is extremely unusual and if you do not have a specific plan for how to work in it, then it is better to pick up some other business idea.

Idea 80: Making dog kennels for restaurants

Almost no restaurants and cafes are allowed to bring animals, so potential clients you have to refrain from going to a cafe if they went out for a walk with the dog. This can be fixed by placing a dog house with a lock. As a result, the owner is calm because his dog is completely safe while he is having lunch, and the restaurant owner gets new dog breeders.

Idea 81: Home delivery of groceries

This idea is also not yet sufficiently developed in Russia and is more relevant for large cities. Its essence lies in the fact that you choose the delivery of some products and you deliver them to your home or office.

Of course, this is a great idea, but due to the low level of solvency of the population, people are simply not ready to give money for it.

In large cities, people earn more and can afford to save time on shopping.

Idea 82: Animal hotel

Sooner or later, we all leave for other cities or countries for the sake of rest or business. And at such moments a serious problem arises, to whom to give your cat or dog? People have to run around friends and relatives and offer to take care of your pet for a couple of weeks.

To save people from these worries, you can open a small hotel for animals, you will feed and care for them while their owners are away. Such a business does not require large investments and is suitable for any city.

Idea 83: Hotel for plants

This idea is very similar in meaning to the previous one. People are leaving somewhere and they need to leave their flowers somewhere. People care much less about plants than about their pets, so opening a hotel for plants is worth it along with the previous business idea.

As an independent business, such an idea will be difficult to survive in a small town.

Idea 84: Summer cinema

An interesting option would be to open a summer cinema. Such a business does not require large investments from you, all you need is to find a site with a good lawn and rent land from the state. If you can’t find a site with a good lawn, then find another one. It is desirable that it be located closer to the city center.

Then you need to purchase a projector and a large canvas on which films will be shown. It will not be superfluous to open a small shop where you can buy drinks and popcorn.

Idea 85: Storage Service

People have always had a need to store things. Over time, there are more of them and those who live in small apartments face problems with storing them. Of course, it is a pity to throw them away, so you can offer warehousing services to such people.

Most often, some seasonal items will be given to you for storage. For example, a Christmas tree, which is needed only in winter, or a bicycle, which is needed only in summer.

This business idea is already actively promoted in large cities of Russia and will soon come to small towns.

Idea 86: Mobile App Development

Any restaurant wants to be fashionable and in trend, then customers will go to them. For this, some order the development of mobile applications for Android or iOS. These are the applications you can develop. Just hire programmers, a designer and go around offering your services to different establishments.

Even if all the restaurants refuse your services, then this is not a reason to despair, because at least you will have a team of programmers and designers who are ready to develop something. All you need to do is find clients!

Idea 87: Entering the Western market

This is perhaps the most profitable business idea with little investment. Look at the western market and think about how you can enter there. Try to cooperate with foreign businesses, shops or buyers.

A huge plus of the Western market is that you can earn much more there than in Russia. This happens for two reasons:

• Western market more
• The purchasing power of people is higher

It will be even more difficult to break through without knowing the language, so it's time to open textbooks if your knowledge is lame.

Without leaving home

A profitable option would be to organize some kind of home business, while the investment will be minimal, since you do not have to rent an office, hire a large number of employees and purchase expensive equipment.

All that is required of you is skills and hard work, only then will you be able to succeed in a home business, and eventually grow into a full-fledged large business.

Idea 88: Tutoring

By tutoring, we mean not only some school subjects. You can be a music tutor, art tutor, adult English tutor, makeup tutor, eyelash extension tutor or any other area where training is required.

At the first stages, the expenses will go only to attract new customers, but in the future, you can organize a full-fledged training center and hire teachers from outside.

Idea 89: Growing microgreens

Microgreens are loaded with vitamins and are often used in food. You can create a small garden at home and sell products to cafes and restaurants.

On the scale of your house or cottage, you can reach a profit of 50,000 rubles. Of course, this is not serious amount and in order to earn more you need to expand by capturing more areas. It is quite possible to grow several times and provide a large number of restaurants in your city with microgreens.

Idea 90: Animal breeding

Another home business idea is animal breeding. Of course, by law, having a large number of animals in an apartment is prohibited, but if you have your own country house, then this is a different matter.

It is better to breed thoroughbred cats. It's easier than with dogs and they take up less space.

Idea 91: Equipment rental

If your house or garage has some rare specialized equipment lying around, then you can make money on it by renting it out. Of course, you won’t make millions on this, but the investments are quite small.

Also, there are some risks that your equipment will not be returned, so be sure to take some money or things as collateral.

Idea 92: Freelancing

A freelancer is a person who fulfills other people's orders for money and such a person usually works from home. To become a freelancer, you must have some skills that are in demand on the Internet. Programmers, designers, marketers enjoy a big dispute.

It is worth noting that you work from home and anyone can be your customer. This means that it is much more profitable to work for foreign clients, as they pay more for the work.

In the future, when you accumulate a large number of positive reviews, you can hire an assistant or organize an entire programming or web design team.

Idea 93: Infobusiness

If you know something and know how to do it, then all you have to do is package up your knowledge and sell it. In what specific form to pack the information is up to you. For example, you know how to cross-stitch in order to teach other people how to do it as masterfully as you, you can write a book, conduct webinars or shoot a video course.

You can teach anything: how to make money, how to lose weight, how to find a husband, and so on. The most important thing in this niche is to gain people's trust and convince the masses that you are not trying to sell some useless product.

Idea 94: Painting pictures

This option home business suitable for creative people who can draw beautiful pictures. You can draw portraits to order, or draw famous people, or some other paintings and sell them on the Internet.

Another important point here is marketing. You will have to invest a certain amount of money in promoting your social networks.

Women's business

A really large number of girls believe that niches somehow differ by gender. This is not at all the case, if you are looking for what kind of business to open for a girl, this does not mean at all that you should lose sight of other business ideas with minimal investment.

However, in some niches it is still easier for beautiful girls to work than for men. It is about these business ideas that we will discuss further.

Idea 95: Sexuality Courses

The first niche can already scare away 90% of girls, but since there are such businesses, we consider it our duty to tell about them. If you are confused by such things, then you can skip this idea.

The bottom line is that over time, relationships do not come better times and sex does not bring those emotions that were before. Such courses involve teaching girls about various things that they did not know about before.

Of course, you yourself need to understand what to teach girls, so if you have little experience in this topic, we recommend that you choose some simpler niche for yourself.

Idea 96: Beauty Cabinet

This business idea is perfect for women who want to start a business with minimal investment. You can create your own small beauty salon, which will consist of one employee, that is, from you.

What list of services to provide to your customers is up to you. They usually provide makeup services, eyelash extensions, eyebrow services and many others.

In the future, you can grow into a large beauty salon that will serve a huge number of clients per day.

Idea 97: Image Making

By image-making we mean a huge list of services: consultation, selection of a public image, shopping accompaniment, analysis of the shape of the face, figure, and much more.

It is worth noting that in a small town you are unlikely to be able to earn something. But in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other large cities, it is quite possible to find a large number of clients.

Feedback plays an important role here. There should be a lot of them and they should be positive, so try to finish the work only when your client is satisfied.

Idea 98: Photo and video shooting

Very often, girls make excellent photographers or cameramen. If you have some experience in this area, you can buy a professional camera and get to work.

It should be noted right away that the competition in this niche is simply huge, and there are very few real talented photographers. Therefore, if you feel the strength in yourself that you can defeat everyone, then go for it!

Idea 99: Wedding Manager

Wedding organization is also better for girls, so if you are a stress-resistant person and like to communicate with people, then this niche is for you.

Of course, there is competition here, but most organizers do not follow current trends and their ideas are already outdated.

You can become a fresh blood among wedding planners and if your ideas are really interesting, then you will quickly gain popularity for your business.

Idea 100: Science show for kids

It is best to open such a show in some shopping malls where parents come with their children to have fun or buy something. You, in turn, will entertain children in every possible way by showing experiments and telling something useful.

We strongly do not recommend doing any dangerous experiments. If you find some cool chemical formula on the Internet and want to show it on children's shows, then this is an extremely bad idea, because you are endangering the health of children.

Another thing is when you are an experienced chemist and you understand 100% what you are pouring where and what consequences in case of an error can be.

Idea 101: Astrology and Divination

This business idea is suitable for girls who believe in esotericism and other supernatural things. You can do the removal of damage, divination, or the sale of amulets.

Idea 102: Social networks

Beautiful girls are especially popular on social networks, which means you can earn good money on this. In addition to the standard Instagram, you can start a channel on Youtube or Twitch. You need to correctly think over your image and understand what kind of audience you want to gather around you.

Of course, in order for the project to be successful, you will need to invest a certain amount of money in high-quality sound, camera and lighting, as well as master at least simple video editing skills.

Idea 103: Beauty services at home

If your budget is extremely limited, then you can provide various services with home visits. For example, creating a beautiful hairstyle and makeup before a wedding or some other holiday.

In the future, as soon as you have a large client base and start making good money, you can rent a small office so that all clients come to you, and not vice versa.

We really hope that you liked our article and you have chosen an interesting business idea for yourself. Try to implement it as early as possible, then success will not keep you waiting!
