Many people are geared towards having their own business. These businesses can be home-based or can also be office-based or alike. The advantage of having your own business is that you can be the “boss” of your own business. Here are some small business ideas that you can decide on.
FOOD
Food is one of the essential needs of every person on earth. Who would even say “no” to food, right? These are the different ways on how to make food as a business.
• Fast-casual restaurant
The food serves up good and fast, and the quality is better than fast food. However, the service is not as perfect as the fine dining restaurant but can offer you a great price.
• Coffee shops
It is one of the trending businesses now. Its target consumers are businessmen and students. A coffee shop is a right place for students to review or catch up with their friends. Coffee shops not only offer coffee but also serve some cakes and kinds of pasta which are very convenient for working people and students. However, the downside is some people will stay in the coffee shop for a long time maybe because of homework, review, or work, but will order a cup of coffee.
• Bakery
Bread is one of the foods that most families have on their dining table. It is also a staple food for some countries. Bakeries not only offer daily bread but have a lot of varieties to choose from. They have some cakes for special occasions and cookies for cookie lovers. For beginners, you can get customers from referrals and making yourself available in the online market.
• Meal kit services and delivery
Meal Kits is becoming popular, especially that a lot of people are bustling and do not have time to shop or prepare their healthy meals. These meal kits are based on the type of food and needed calories of the consumer.
One of my preferred examples is HelloFresh! While anyone can deliver a box of fresh food, HelloFresh offers a full experience that brings the fun of cooking with their quick wholesome recipes,15 weekly recipes, and easy to customize menus, flexible deliveries, and an option to pause/cancel.
In addition to step-by-step recipes, you’ll receive individual meal kits containing all the pre-measured ingredients you need to make each meal.
I reviewed and calculated my groceries from previous weeks, from $150 to $72 a week. That’s an impressive cut half of our weekly expenses.
It is most convenient to use their app so you can select meal plans consecutively organized. I said consecutive if wanted to avail for weekly food delivery. This works by selecting your preferred delivery date, but please keep in mind that they need at least five days after your purchase to pack, ship, and deliver everything.
For instance, orders placed on June 3rd will be available for delivery starting on May 8th. Plus, no worrying because once your order has shipped, you will receive a tracking link, so you know when and what time you expected your box to arrive. Try it this week and get a $40 discount on your first order! Click here –> HelloFresh. While you try their service, you may get an idea of how the business works. Then you can innovate their approach and make something unique as to be your signature or brand.
MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY
With the new technology and easy access to the internet, some individuals are engaging themselves with the use of media and technology. The positive thing about it is that your customer includes almost all the people in the world.
• YouTube Stars
These YouTube stars are trying to make a living by creating videos of what they are passionate about or what interests the viewers. For instance, a father and son can make a review of a toy, and if they’ve got a lot of viewers, that is the time that they are going to earn some money. Not only that, but some advertisers will also approach them to do some reviews or videos for their company. Some people can also showcase their talents to earn a lot of viewers.
• Blogging
If you are a type of person who loves to write articles and can make creative and exciting writings, this is a good business for you.
• Freelance Editing and Writing
A lot of companies require somebody to fix their website, edit some books, and make some articles for them. For individuals who are good at writing, they can try this one. If a client is satisfied with your work, a high payment will be given.
• App developer
This type of business has a passive income. You need to work hard for your app then your product will sit out there on the iPhone and Android stories making money for you. Marketing skills are still required, so your product will be well-known and can catch a lot of customers.
ALTERNATIVE LENDING
Many lending companies are arising now. Non-bank lending companies are growing, which is very accessible to many people, especially that they do not need a lot of requirements.
CLOTHES
Many people love to shop for clothes for their daily outfit or their work. Having a retail store will be a great start, especially if you’ve got an eye for fashion. You can build a great selection of clothes for people. Having a retail store is more advantageous since people can try out garments as compared to buying online.
On the other hand, you can generate more income when you both sell clothes in your store and sell them online. You can even try designing t-shirts and customize prints for your costumers. Everything that you can innovate, it can be personalized.
Many people nowadays are looking for something unusual or unique to the eyes of the people. Anything that can be personalized can be a great business. Examples of this are pillows, mugs, shirts, or souvenirs.
