The
cost of setting up a new business has never been so low. Digital
technology has made starting your own business simple, affordable and
possible. For some business, all you need to start is a phone, a
computer, and an internet connection.
Coming
up with a good business idea is often one of the hardest hurdles.
Ideally, your business idea should consist of three things:
It should be something you like doing,
It should be something you are good at, and
It should be something people would spend on.
Once
you are able to identify a profitable business idea and are willing to
follow through persistently, you’ll soon have something to be proud of.
To
help you get you started, we have put together a list of in-demand and
profitable business ideas you can start in the New Year. Number 11 is a
new and hot opportunity today. We just had to reveal the secret to you.
Keep reading to find out. This post is brought to you by After School
Africa. If you are new here, we also have a Youtube channel. Consider subscribing to continue exploring opportunities like this below:
Table of Contents
1. Sell Hand-made Goods Online
Footwear,
knitting, jewelry, natural body-cream… there are so many handmade
goods out there. Unfortunately, prospective entrepreneurs often overlook
this one because it isn’t one of the ‘fancier’ busines options. But it
is absolutely viable, and there is a huge market for it. There is
especially a market for these types of goods when they are marketed with
your own personal story.For
example… let’s say that your baby has sensitive skin, and can’t use
regular sunscreen. Maybe he or she breaks out in a rash if they do,
because their skin is just extremely sensitive. If you can come up with a
sunscreen that actually works and that’s non-toxic, and safe for your
baby’s skin, and made with natural ingredients… That’s a real, viable
product! And the fact that you can market it using a real-life story is
really powerful. You can end up building a brand of your own.
2. Solar and Inverter Sales and Installation
The
world is moving away from fossil fuels and moving towards more
sustainable and renewable energy. People are embracing solar energy and
are even using it to become completely self-sufficient. The technology
is advancing to the point where solar power won’t just be a great source
of clean energy; it’ll be an obvious choice for everyone.
Starting
a business that provides solar power solutions could be a very clever
idea. Most governments offer tax breaks for companies who are developing
clean energy products, and this is a huge benefit. A solar power
company can provide complete solar installation for homes and businesses
to cut down on power bills. You can learn this skill by taking related
online or offline classes. This is a business of the future.
3. Ride Sharing Business
Anyone
who considers himself or herself a good driver can sign up with Uber or
Bolt and make a living driving people around town. While working as
an Uber driver may not sound like an exciting career, it’s certainly a
great way to put food on the table when you find yourself in between
jobs.
4. Beard Care Products
Beards are
still a thing and they will probably remain to be for some time. You
can start your own beard care brand with just a few cheap ingredients
that you can buy online. When you manage to make a good product, all you
need is good marketing strategy and bulk manufacturing.
5. Virtual Reality and Gaming Arcade
VR
Computing is a huge technological advancement which provides the user
with realistic sensory experience. It’s been expected that by 2020 the
global size of the VR market will be in excess of $40 Billion. A good
chunk of that revenue could be in your pocket. Virtual reality is the
perfect fit for arcades which could bring new life to the dying
business. VR escape rooms and Lounges are expected to experience
phenomenal growth. If you are tech savvy and a gaming fan, this could be
your perfect business opportunity in the New Year. To get started, you
have to learn how to develop immersive VR and AR experiences. The
internet is full of resources and communities of like-minded people to
help you along the way.
6. Software Development service
Software
developers create, test and maintain software. The demand for software
developers is expected to increase by 17% each year through 2023 with
good pay. With computer technology advancement, the scope for software
developers looks bright. Besides, most big companies will need networks
that are faster, more seamless, and more secure. Providing these
solutions through a software company could make a very profitable
business.
Related Opportunities
7. Freelancing
According
to various reports, the way we work now will be changed in the future.
The outsourcing business will boom by 2020. 50% of Americans are working
independently and making money through their own small businesses
online. Due to the high cost of hiring full-time employee startups are
outsourcing their work to minimize expenses and maximize profits. China
and India are examples of counties where operational costs are
relatively low. India over the years has become a hub for outsourcing
service like call centres due to its English speaking population and low
operational cost. You could tap into this growing industry and work as a
freelance writer, graphic designer, video editor, photographer and so
on. What’s more? It’s totally flexible and you get to choose when and
how you get to work.
8. E-commerce store
This
is one business that keeps growing each year and will only get bigger
in the new decade. In fact, there’s been an average annual growth
rate of 25.6% in ecommerce sales from 2014 – 2018. Over the past few
years, people have become quite accustomed to shopping online. Unique
niche marketplace is introduced every day in the e-commerce business.
There are ample opportunities to start a profitable online store to
fulfill consumer needs. You don’t need to compete with the countless
online stores that deal on clothes, shoes or electronics; you could open
an online food delivery store or even baby items.
9. Affiliate marketing
Don’t
have time to create your own products to sell? Why not sign up
as affiliate to market other people’s product and make money from home
each month?
Affiliate marketers promote products of other people
and earn commissions on their sales. Amazon is currently the most
popular platform for affiliate marketing, but there are many
international and local alternatives like Jumia, and other online
stores. Affiliate marketing is often combined with blogging to create a
seamless mix of content and promotion. Anyone can start an affiliate
marketing business, with little to no cost. RECOMMENDED VIDEO: 7 Things You Didn’t Know About the Richest Black Man in the World
10. Digital marketing campaign manager
Marketing
has gone digital, and it’s the job of digital marketing campaign
managers to produce the best results possible. You can start your career
as a digital marketing campaign manager by studying freely
available online resources and experimenting on your own. You’ll need to
understand things like advertising, Search Engine Optimization, landing
pages, calls-to-action, and social media marketing. Once you know what
you are doing, try cold-calling local businesses, and ask them whether
they would be interested in your digital marketing service.
11. Sell Standing Desk and Adjustable Laptop Stand
The
most innovative business ideas often start by transforming an everyday
product into something different. We all know that sitting all day at
the office isn’t the best thing for our health. And that’s why there’s
actually been a rise in standing desks. Since about January 2011,
there’s been a sudden and consistent growth in search volume for
“standing desks.” There’s actually 15,000 monthly searches for “standing
desks”, proving that people really don’t want to spend their entire day
sitting. I’ve just let you in on a secret. Now you can go run with it.
You can resell existing standing tables or start making yours.
12. Drone Videographer
If
you like piloting drones, perhaps you should consider working as
a drone videographer. You get to go to interesting places, meet cool
people, and eventually develop a portfolio that could land you big
ticket jobs. Professional drones are very expensive, but you can start
small with a mid-sized drone and a GoPro camera and go from there.
13. Teach Online
The
success of Khan Academy, a non-profit educational organization created
in 2006 by Salman Khan, has proved the effectiveness of online teaching
and paved the way for talented educators and their students. You
can sell your expertise as video content on YouTube, or create your own
website and charge your students on an hourly basis for Skype lessons.
Also,
one of the most popular platforms where people can access massive open
online courses, Coursera, has more than 15 million users, who are hungry
for knowledge. Such online courses go far beyond the traditional
high-school curriculum. If you have any skill that you think people
might be interested in, there’s nothing stopping you from giving it a
go. All it takes is a web camera, capture software, and basic editing
skills.14. Hostel Owner
You
heard that right, you can start you own hotel business right from your
home. With services like Airbnb, you can turn your house, garage, or
just a single room into a unique accommodation for tourists and
travelers from all around the world. The online platform will take care
of the initial exposure and will provide a way for owners and clients to
conveniently communicate.
No matter what type of business you
would like to start or how much money you have to invest, at least a few
ideas from this list will match your criteria. Just remember that the
idea alone is not enough. It takes hard work. You have to show passion,
persistence, and dedication to overcome all challenges as they arise. If
you do, nothing can stop you from joining the ranks of successful
entrepreneurs and business owners.
Which of these ideas do you find most interesting? Tell about it in the comment section. Thumbs up and share this with friends.If you are yet to subscribe to the After School Africa channel, now is a good time to do that.
