Profitable niches for business this year. How to create a personal business from scratch

30Sep

Hello, dear readers! Today I want to talk about business with minimal investment or microbusiness. And also give some business ideas. Very often I am asked the question of how you can start a business with minimal investment (usually from zero to 50,000 rubles).

I’ll say right away that this is possible, but you need to find your own idea and try small. Today I will try to answer this question and I really hope that you will draw your own conclusions.

Microbusiness - what is it and why you need to start small

When you were born, you didn’t immediately say the first word, didn’t immediately take the first step, then why do you think that in business you should immediately open a bank, a car dealership or a large supermarket? You may have the desire to do something big, but try to tune your brain to the fact that this moment you can do it and your wallet can do it. And when the brain starts working towards goals that are closer to reality, then ideas will come to you like a river.

After all, as a rule, they are all in front of your nose. And when you started small and took on some very small business, then it can be expanded to medium and large scales.

And this very small business is microbusiness! You can be micro-businessmen, freelancing, producing something at home, resell some goods, or provide services. You will be very small at first, but as time passes, your growth will accelerate.

Did you know that the world's most famous snack bar, Subway, used to be just one small outlet, but now has tens of thousands of eateries around the world? And if the founders had not opened this one diner, if they had not started small, then this multi-million dollar company would not have existed!

In general, in America, every tenth person is engaged in a micro-business, producing something in a garage, selling something, etc., but in Russia this is just beginning to emerge. You have every chance!

Most of you want to do something of your own, to leave a job you don’t like, to start living better, to be more free, to later make a big business, etc. So for these purposes, micro-business is quite enough.

Many people are engaged in business and earn only a little more than the average salary, but they are happy that they are doing an interesting job and are independent, without depending on anyone.

In microbusiness, interest is important, and love is better! Because microbusiness is built on your passion for activity. If you like your business, then you can do it even for small income. The most important thing for you now is to understand that you can start small and think about what interests you. And only then think about how you can get money from your interest. You will say that I am pushing banality to you and you will be right, but if you learn this and you will succeed!

How to start a business with minimal investment

Now let's move on to the fact that it is possible to open a business with minimal investment and, moreover, it is necessary! You don’t need large investments to open a microbusiness. To get started you only need 4 things:

1. Think about what you like and what you could realistically do (make a rough list right now, then add to it);
2. Think about how to benefit from your interest. Just think if your business could be useful to someone.
3. See if your available money is enough for this. If it’s not enough, then return to point No. 1 and go again.

And the fourth is the most difficult! And even if it doesn’t work out, you still did what you like, you didn’t lose anything. And even if they invested money, it was very little!

Important! When you want to eat and you only have 50 rubles in your pocket (I had this, I don’t know about you), you buy what you have enough money for and satisfy your body’s need for food. But, you must admit that if you had 1000 rubles, you would buy something more tasty. It’s the same thing at the beginning of your micro-business. If you have little money, then try to make the maximum profit out of it. You must satisfy your need - start! If you manage to do something with little money, then later you will move mountains with big money. Will you burn out? Get great experience for little money!

Living examples of business with small investments

I'll start with myself, and then move on to my cool comrades;)

• I opened my first website (a blog) with 1000 rubles in my pocket. Immediately followed by a second one for 500 rubles. Total 1500 rub. After 3 months, both sites began to bring in a total of 3,000 rubles per month, then 5,000 rubles, then 10, and so on until 15,000 rubles. After a year and a half, I sold one of them for a tidy sum, and the second one remained with my partner.
• I opened a website development studio without any investment at all. She also brought me a little 10,000-30,000 rubles a month. But that’s because I had to pay designers and layout designers.
• The service for selling tweets, likes and everything else was opened for 7,000 rubles, paid for itself in 2 days. Brought 40,000 rubles. per month and was sold.
• The blog you are reading now was started with 500 rubles, and now it is also generating income.
• We opened an online store of bags with 80,000 - 100,000 rubles, and recouped the money invested within 2 months, from the moment the goods arrived. From the age of 3 months he was already bringing in clean money and continues to this day.
• Now another interesting project is being prepared, although the investment is larger, but still not millions.

Well, all about myself. What do you want? They thought I was running a business with millions in income. No! I'm a micro-businessman! The assets, of course, are not worth a single million, but this is a matter of time, experience, desire and interest! I’m not bragging, much less there’s nothing to brag about, I just want to show by my example that you can start small!

Now let's move on to others:

• The same “SubWay” that I mentioned above was opened with an initial investment of $1000. It is now a multi-million dollar business with tens of thousands of eateries around the world.
• A friend of mine created several public pages on VK a long time ago, spending only 2000 rubles on advertising. and soon one of them gained popularity to a million subscribers, then more, etc. Income more than 100,000 rubles. clean per month.
• My parents started selling cereals at the street market when I was 5-7 years old, investing some money in the goods. Every year there was more money in circulation, there were more retail outlets, the assortment was expanding and everything was only increasing. Now, of course, they have a staff, they tried other types of business, in general they developed as best they could and continue to develop to this day.
• The founder of the JivoSite service (an online consultant for websites), Timur Valishev, invested 150,000 rubles in it, and now his service has thousands of paying clients.
• The same situation is with almost all the founders of public pages and websites. Little was invested in all of them, but now it brings a lot.

One conclusion can be drawn. Starting a business with minimal investment is more than possible, you just need to want, think and do it!

And here, by the way, is a video interview with Timur Valishev (JivoSite) and Sergei Baryshnikov (Bigpicture site). I advise you to look:

The essence of such a business idea is as follows: you are looking for actors who will agree to play the role of fairy-tale characters, developing a script and finding clients who are interested in the service offered. On the specified day, Father Frost visits the children and gives a performance.

Not a single New Year is complete without Father Frost and Snow Maiden. They are invited home, to kindergartens and schools. The demand for New Year's performances is very high and often the actors are not able to provide services to everyone. Therefore, “Santa Claus” is the most profitable business during the New Year holidays.

To implement such an idea, it is necessary to find actors or people with artistic talent, rent costumes, write a script and distribute advertising.

This type of income is seasonal. Profit depends on the number of performances, actors' salaries and other expenses. After the end of the winter holidays, you can continue to collaborate with the staff and perform at children's parties, but as other fairy-tale characters.

Therefore, owners of short-haired dog breeds always buy new clothes for their pets during the cold season. Clothes for dogs are quite expensive due to the specifics of the product. Although there is very little material, the only equipment you need is a sewing machine.

To sew clothes for dogs, you need to have sewing equipment (scissors, threads, needles, etc.), material, a sewing machine, patterns (can be found on the Internet), a desire to work and some free time.

It is not difficult to calculate the approximate profit from 1 product. On average, one suit costs about 2,000 rubles, and the cost of material is 500 rubles. Hence the net income is 1500 rubles.

A distinctive feature of the products is their uniqueness. Thanks to this toys self made deserve the love of many people.

To sew a soft toy you will need: a sewing machine, tools and materials. After this, choose the character you will make, find a pattern (on the Internet or a magazine) and proceed directly to its production. Then you choose the method of selling the products.

Price finished product can be calculated using the formula “direct costs + indirect costs x2 = market value” (these are approximate calculations). Direct costs (material) for one product are about 1000 rubles. Indirect – the cost of your time, electricity. Profit is the value of your work.

Business Idea No. 25. Furniture for Pets

The essence of the business idea is as follows: you analyze the pet furniture market, produce the most popular models and sell them in a way convenient for you. You can make custom furniture at a higher price.

Pet owners want to please their pets in every possible way and therefore buy them this or that furniture. People with average or high incomes buy furniture for dogs. Therefore, they try not to save money. Competition in such a market is minimal, so if you produce high-quality furniture with a beautiful design, then you won’t have to worry about the number of buyers.

To create such a business, you will need to register an individual entrepreneur, familiarize yourself with all the fashion trends in the furniture industry, purchase the necessary materials and tools, and create sketches on the basis of which the furniture will be made. It is important to conduct an advertising campaign and find points of sale for products.

This is enough profitable project, because pays off quickly. If the cost of one piece of furniture is 300-500 rubles, then its market value is 700-2000 rubles. Income exceeds expenses several times.

Conclusion

My conclusion is, as always, positive. Business with minimal investment is possible! Think, start, try. You always need to start small and business is no exception. Moreover, making a business for a million is no easier than for 50,000 rubles. It just seems like there is a lot of money, so everything is simple, but everything has its own difficulties.

For example, I wouldn’t be able to manage entire factories or banks now, I don’t have much experience. Therefore, I will continue to build my small businesses, turn them into medium-sized ones, and then it’s not far from big ones;)

Thank you for your attention! I look forward to your comments.
