Small business with little investment. Business ideas with minimal investment are the best ideas. Private kindergarten or club

30 Sep

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

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

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

When you were born, you did not immediately say the first word, did not immediately take the first step, then why do you think that in business you should immediately open a bank, car dealership or a large supermarket? Perhaps you have a desire to do something big, but try to tune your brain to something that at the moment is within your power and within the power of your wallet. And when the brain begins to work on goals that are closer to reality, then ideas will flood to you like a river.

After all, as a rule, they are all in front of the nose. And already 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 a micro-business, freelancing, home-made, reselling, or providing services. You will be very small at first, but then time will pass and growth will accelerate.

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

In general, in America, every tenth is engaged in microbusiness, produces something in the garage, sells 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 quit your unloved job, to start living a better life, to be more free, so that later you can do big business, etc. So for these purposes, microbusiness is quite enough.

Many people are in business and earn only a little more than the average salary, but they are happy that they are engaged in an interesting job and are independent, independent of someone.

In microbusiness, interest is important, and better is love! Because microbusiness is about your passion for doing business. If you like your business, then you can do it even for a 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 out of your interest. You will say that I am pushing you triviality 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 you can open a business with minimal investment, and more than that - you need it! Large investments are not needed to open a micro business. In order to start, you only need 4 things:

1. Think about what you like and what you could really do (make a rough list right now, then add it);
2. Consider how to capitalize on your interest. Just think if your case can be useful to someone.
3. See if the available money is enough for you. If not enough, then return to point number 1 and go again.

And the fourth most difficult thing! And even if it doesn't work out, you still did what you like, you have not lost anything. And if they have invested money, then very little!

Important! When you want to eat and you have only 50 rubles in your pocket (I had this, I don’t know about you), you buy what you have enough money for and satisfy the body's need for food. But, you must admit that if you had 1000 rubles, then you would buy something more delicious. It's the same when you start your microbusiness. If you have little money, then try to make the most of it. You must satisfy your need - start! If you manage to do something out of small money, then later you will move mountains out of big ones. Burn out? Get a great experience for scanty money!

Live business examples with little investment

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

• I opened my first site (blog) for 1000 rubles in my pocket. Behind him immediately the second for 500 rubles. Total RUB 1,500 After 3 months, both sites began to bring a total of 3000 rubles per month, then 5000 rubles, then 10 and so on up to 15,000 rubles. After a year and a half, I sold one of them for a tidy sum, and the second stayed with my partner.
• I opened a website development studio without any investments. She brought me 10,000-30,000 rubles a month too. But this is because I had to pay designers and layout designers.
• The service for selling tweets, likes and everything else was opened for 7000 rubles, paid off in 2 days. He brought 40,000 rubles. per month and was sold.
• Your blog, which you are now reading, was started with 500 rubles, and now it also brings income.
• We opened an online store of bags from 80,000 - 100,000 rubles, and recouped the money invested in 2 months, from the moment the goods arrived. From 3 months already he carried clean money and continues to this day.

Well, all about myself. What do you want? I thought I was in a business with millions of dollars in income. No! I am the same microbusinessman! Assets, of course, cost not a million, but this is already a matter of time, experience, aspiration and interest! I am not bragging, let alone 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", about which I spoke above, was opened for $ 1000 of initial investment. It is now a multi-million dollar business with tens of thousands of eateries in the world.
• My friend created several VK publics a long time ago, spending only 2000 rubles on advertising. and soon one of them gained popularity up to a million subscribers, then more, etc. Income over 100,000 rubles. clean a month.

Every year there was more money in circulation, there were more retail outlets, the assortment expanded and everything went only to increase. 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.

Therefore, "Ded Moroz" 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 earnings is seasonal. The profit depends on the number of performances, the size of the salaries of the actors and other expenses.

A word in favor of small businesses

Small business owners deserve respect. They are independent, dreamlike and set realistic goals. We are talking about a caste of self-employed professionals, merchants and service providers. People who are collected, confident in their abilities. Knowing that no one will help them on the path of entrepreneurship. They are used to solving all questions on their own.

No one deserves as much respect as these self-sufficient and courageous people. The service industry is supportive of aspiring entrepreneurs. Providing a service, along with trading, requires less investment. Allows you to turn an action into a kind of product. Uses the time, knowledge and experience of a specialist as resources.

The entrepreneur delivers his services himself or uses hired workers to help. Creates jobs. According to the US Department of Commerce, from 2010 to 2017, more than 73% of the working-age population is employed in small and medium-sized businesses. Russia can boast about the same indicator.

For less than $ 250-500, you can start your own makeup business from scratch. With a skillful approach, such an undertaking can turn into a rather lucrative side job.

Housekeeping

This, of course, is not the most profitable activity, but it is an excellent opportunity to live in different parts of the planet (including exotic ones) without paying a dime for rent.

Babysitting

Do not think that only teenagers and students are looking after other people's children. Quite the opposite. This job can generate decent income, especially for those who work at night and on weekends.

Washing windows

Airbnb Rentals

House cleaning

Alternatively, you can create logos and other graphic products using the service and then resell them to customers.

Web design

Web designers are needed in every company that works with modern technologies. Today, web design is one of the most popular ideas for third-party jobs. The goal of web design is to make the process of using a website or application simple and convenient.

If you visit the Contemporist portal more often than the website with the weather forecast, then in such a situation your knowledge will come in handy.

Collecting works of art

Collecting should not be confused with the senseless buying of items that represent at least some artistic value. Collecting takes patience, love for your craft and, of course, a huge investment of time. If you are comfortable with decent art, you can start by visiting an arts department at your local university. But don't expect quick money, there is no money in this business. Many students of art academies are ready to sell their painting or sculpture for a penny, but it is quite possible that in a few years its cost will amount to thousands of dollars.

If you've found a relatively free niche, then by learning how to write code (or knowing an experienced developer), you have every chance of gaining a foothold in the market. Moreover, coding skills are not required to create an application. The most important thing is to make sure your idea sells. Even if your application does not make a splash in the market, you will gain valuable experience or even decide to try yourself in managing the release of new programs.

Online News Correspondent

Today, to work as a correspondent, you do not need to sit for several years at the university. News websites continually need help covering regional news. On some portals (The Examiner and HuffPost), the correspondent's earnings are determined by the income from displaying ads per article.

Blogging

If you think that blogging will no longer make money, then you are deeply mistaken. Tens of thousands of bloggers create engaging content on a wide variety of topics, from food to travel to cinema. They generate income through their followers, sponsors, affiliate marketing programs, and other channels. Start by honing your writing skills.

Once you have formed your audience, you can begin to delve deeper into their expectations by tailoring your content to the preferences of your readers.

Buying and selling domain names

It is not the first year that they have been making money on the domain name trade. And although the most winning options have long found their owners (for example, in 2009 the Insure.com domain went for $ 16 million), there are still enough names on the market that can be bought for little money and then sold profitably. But some experts believe that the golden days of this business are over. Therefore, you shouldn't quit your main job to trade domain names (unless you already have several profitable deals behind you). Get started with helpful tips from GoDaddy, the world's largest domain name repository. Just imagine that you can have domain names in your hands, for which in the next ten years companies will be ready to pay fabulous money.

There are many YouTubers who make millions. Your channel's success depends on a number of factors, including content, audience, skills, relationships, and timing. By paying close attention to each of these factors and skillfully combining them, you can transform your YouTube channel from a small side job into a multimillion dollar business.

Online Courses

The best ideas for part-time jobs are based on the opportunity to capitalize on your skills and talents. If you consider yourself an expert on a particular issue, then there are surely people who are willing to pay you to share your knowledge and experience with them.

Online coaching

If you are not only well versed in a certain area, but also have great enthusiasm for your business, you can very well turn your hobby into income by providing personal coaching services.

This is especially convenient if you often have to change your place of residence (for example, if your companion (or your companion) is a professional athlete or coach, and you do not stay in one place for a long time).

Remote English Teaching

Teaching English as a foreign language is a stable source of additional income, not to mention the opportunity to see the world. Ideally, you should be accredited as an ESL teacher, but this is not required.

Selling goods from Amazon under your own brand

Amazon is not only one of the largest IT companies, but also a bottomless global marketplace where almost anyone can make money from the growing online trading.

Get ready to explore the markets for popular non-branded products (such as watches, key chains, mugs, etc.) and select products that you can successfully sell under your brand. Moreover, in order for coins to fall into your pocket, you need to thoroughly think over the sales strategy.

Completing online questionnaires

Yes, this is not the most exciting and interesting activity. Nevertheless, for filling out the questionnaires, they pay albeit small money. Since you cannot make capital here, it is better to do this in your free time from your main work.

Buying sites

Websites are somewhat similar to stock exchanges. Some are considered garbage, while others can generate significant profits. Therefore, sites are constantly buying and selling. When trading websites, factors such as traffic volume, profitability, domain name and some others are taken into account. With the proper approach, you have every chance of finding a real pearl, the true value of which no one but you has yet discerned.

Podcasting
