The most profitable business for today. Business with minimal investment

Sergey Ivanisov is in touch again. I greet you with pleasure, friends. Our topic today is as timeless as the world, as interesting as the best Google search pages, and as endless as the Internet itself. Let's talk about online business again. You know, no matter how many posts I write on this topic, I suspect that I am only touching on its top. How many opportunities to open your own business online exist now, and how many more will appear in the foreseeable future! Modern views Internet businesses provide an opportunity not only to exist comfortably – but to live to the fullest!

Having organized and promoted your own online business, get ready for the fact that those apartments, cars and resorts that just yesterday seemed unattainable to you will be acquired and mastered with ease. But also be prepared for the fact that your business is your unplowed field, where you need to work hard, and not someone else.

And, following my habit, I am obliged to warn you so that you do not confuse business on the Internet - although these are similar things, in reality they are completely different.

1. Profitable business on the Internet: how to find it, how to do it?

What can I recommend here? Search with your heart. A little, of course, focus on demand, but more on your inner voice and your own preferences. A profitable business on the Internet is any one that you can promote. But how are you going to promote the topic of gardening, for example, if you can’t stand this business since childhood? If you have been turned off by it since those days when your parents sent you to the village to visit your grandmother every summer, to help hill potatoes and collect Colorado potato beetles on them. Yes, the days of parental dependence have passed, but the residue remains. Now you won’t be hilling anything, but you’ll have to write about it!

Therefore, choose a niche in which work will bring real pleasure, and not sad memories. Business requires a lot of work, sometimes even seven days a week, sometimes even 12 hours, but if the work brings pleasure and income, then who will count this time?

While you have not yet figured out how to do business on the Internet, let me give you a few examples - high-profile and very well-known examples. Notice how it all started.

2. Profitable business on the Internet: the beginning of the game

Do you think that Mark Zuckerberg, when inventing his Facebook, slept and saw how the resource brought him millions in income? Nothing like this. It is used as a toy, entertainment for friends. And look what a monster he has grown into now. Social networks are a very profitable business on the Internet. Now you’re sitting and thinking: why am I a fool didn’t think of creating such a social network 15 years ago... Now I would also be a millionaire...

In the same way, the creator of VK Pavel Durov and the creator of the dating site Markus Frind did not think about multimillion-dollar turnover, or anything at all. This guy, Marcus, had absolutely no idea that you could make money on the Internet - he developed his website as a non-profit project, independently, long and persistently, using the information that he got here - on the Internet.

What am I getting at? Again, don’t focus only on earning money, otherwise you’ll see dollars in your eyes, like Uncle Scrooge. Put your soul into your project, then the financial return will be stunning.

Another example: having created his own online store, the founder of the now very popular eBay auction Pierre Omidyar offered us the first lot for sale, a broken (!) laser pointer. You can’t say anything here - the developer was immediately focused on income. But he, apparently, did not expect that the broken thing would be bought, and so quickly. The shocked seller, having completed the purchase, could not help but ask why the buyer needed a broken pointer. The answer was simple: “I collect such things.” Hence the second conclusion: for every product there is a buyer.

As you can see, all successful Internet businessmen started their business easily, like a game, and as a result they received millions in income from their projects.

3. Online business options

If a person feels the strength and desire to open his own business online, the first obstacle on his way may be such a banal obstacle as a lack of understanding of what kind of business to start on the Internet.

“Everything seems to be already taken, and if you come up with something new, it’s not a fact that the idea will be in demand.” - I gave a standard example of stereotypical thinking, which always hinders development, and fear, which most failed millionaires use to justify their inactivity. But each of us is a potential millionaire. And everyone can become real. You just need to want it and start acting.

Just watch this video clip, and then I think you will be surprised how easy it is sometimes to become a millionaire:

Under no circumstances should you be afraid to try at least all the options for doing business on the Internet: nothing that someone is already doing this, nothing that there are many similar proposals and ideas. In any case, you will bring something of your own to a not new hackneyed idea, and it will become the author’s, recognizable, original.

What ideas are popular and work great now (they also brought profit to their owners a year and five years ago, and will continue to do so in the future).

Here is a simple navigator for you through online business niches, choose your path:

3.1. Classic online earnings - website creation and promotion

It would seem that everything has already been said a thousand times about this type of business; there is nothing new to add. But if you have chosen this particular type of business, then it would not be out of place to repeat the common truths of successful webmasters several times: You see that the Internet ceases to be exclusively a method of communication, it turns into an ideal tool for generating income. Moreover, your own website - great way , or almost from scratch - at the creation stage, the resource requires little investment.

Popular types of business remain “on-site” options: design, creation of banners, optimization and promotion of sites, filling with content.

By the way, many people consider content (articles and photos) to be income rather than business, since most copywriters and photographers “sit” on stock exchanges and work for cheap. To transform copywriting into the status of a real business, I advise you to organize a posting agency: remotely or in a standard way, recruit a staff of several authors, create (again!) your own website with a list of services and price list, and serve webmasters.

3.2. Online stores

Well, who doesn’t know them, who hasn’t at least once used the services of online sellers? This type of business is so widespread and popular that it makes sense to talk about how advisable it is to open your own online retail outlet now (during a crisis!).

I must note that the most successful projects arise precisely in times of crisis - financial difficulties force sellers to be creative, simply to “spin”, retaining customers, and if they’re lucky, attracting new ones.

But, before you show “merchant agility” and invent new marketing moves, think about the main thing: what will you trade. During times of crisis, people’s banknotes noticeably decrease and they begin to save, so immediately discard the idea of ​​trading in luxury goods and focus on essential goods (clothing, children’s products) and food.

Online stock is one of the most popular and everlasting ideas: you buy high-quality imported clothes at the stock in kilograms, and sell them individually online.

Organic food products - become an intermediary between fans of non-GMO food and an ordinary farmer who grows such products, but has absolutely no time to deal with the intricacies of online trading. Either buy batches of products from him, package them beautifully and resell them, or refer buyers to him for a commission.

Similarly, you can enter into a franchise agreement not with a little-known manufacturer, but with famous brand and promote his product in your region through your . Internet business franchises, like offline ones, require the use of a trademark, but not ownership.

3.3. Trading

One of the new and yet unexplored areas of Internet business is trading in exchange-traded assets. Now there are rumors of earnings on binary options, in particular on . And although most ordinary people perceive this type of earnings as a lottery “lucky or unlucky,” or even an outright scam, people who know how to analyze a combination of factors (economic, political, international) and draw objective conclusions based on this, which do not allow them to act at random, earn a lot on options regularly.

But to become one of the successful traders, you need to carefully study all the intricacies of this matter. It's not easy, but the results are worth the effort.

3.4. Infobusiness

Only the lazy do not know about this type of business. But, nevertheless, for the vast majority it remains a mystery how you can earn big money using one of your skills. I’ll tell you, perhaps repeating myself once again.

The information business on the Internet is based on the unique way of one person to quickly and effectively solve some problems that most people have. For example, you write texts quickly and competently and earn a lot of money from it. At the same time, you have your own personal way of how to write and not get tired, not repeat hackneyed phrases, quickly find customers and reach a higher level of payment for your work.

Tens of thousands of potential or real, but less successful copywriters want to know this. Share your experience with them - create an inexpensive book or course - people will buy it. You will earn money.

There are still many types of businesses and ideas for business on the Internet. a large number of. I already said this at the beginning. But what if you still want to know about even more options?

• First, let me remind you that my blog is far from the only source with such information;
• Secondly, you can pay attention to the section: “a catalog of my ideas for business on the Internet” (coming soon) - here I list the most interesting and promising options that I found or that came to my mind.

4. Advantages of Internet business

There is an opinion (and it is not unfounded) that Internet business is the business of the future. More and more experienced businessmen are transferring their business to an online format, significantly increasing their client bases and profits. Newbies in business also tend to come here - many of them get off to a very successful start.

But you shouldn’t make any plans for the future; let’s talk about what advantages Internet business provides today and now, and why it is so relevant among beginners who sometimes don’t have an extra penny to spare.

1. Some types of Internet activities do not require any financial investment at all. All you need is a computer and Internet access. By the way, I wrote more about these options in this article: “ “;
2. When running a business on the Internet, it is quite possible to earn decent money alone, without hiring staff;
3. A businessman working on the Internet is practically inaccessible to government agencies, and therefore independent. However, I note that you should not forget about paying taxes.

5. What kind of business am I in?

I want to say that if at the time of writing this article I had a capital of millions, so 100, or maybe 200 rubles, I would be involved in many areas of business. But, I was lucky, fate decreed that I start completely from scratch.

I created my website. Or to be more precise, a blog. Why a blog?

1. A blog can be created with minimal contributions (maximum 1000 rubles);
2. You can promote a blog yourself without any investment;
3. Super results can be achieved in 2-3 years (100-500 thousand rubles/month);
4. And most importantly, I am simply delighted with this type of activity.

I talked about the benefits of blogging in more detail in this article: “ “. Actually, this is all I have friends. I want each of you to successfully build your own business on the Internet. I'm sure most will succeed. Good luck to you!

Best regards, Sergey Ivanisov.

Money is where you need to think, not work

In a financial crisis, when the number of jobs is declining, but at the same time the consumer and service sectors remain in demand, ideas or even businesses from scratch occupy the minds of ordinary citizens.

The desire to find opportunities for additional income is important reason searching for activities without capital investments. The benefit of such a business can be considered a minimal amount of risks, and if a person believes that he is strong in some area, then this will serve as an additional guarantee of the success of the new endeavor.

Business from scratch - does it happen?

No, such a business does not exist. In any case, you will have to invest:

1. Education.
2. If there is no education, time.
3. And, in any case, great enthusiasm.

There is a point of view that all the proposed ideas for beginners are not a business, but a craft. But there are no other options with a zero start. If there is no money for hired workers, you have to be your own hired worker. And only with the growth of your business, your own skills, abilities and income, will it be possible to delegate some of your functions to someone else. Moreover, very often even “grown” small-scale businessmen are forced to create an adequate replacement for themselves over the years. This is the specificity of small business. Small business is a way of life. To dream that in a couple of years the gears will turn without any of your participation is at least naive.

The greatest effect will be achieved by your advertisements posted in places where printing services are constantly required.

2. PRODUCTION OF ORIGINAL LAYOUTS

To run this business you must have a computer and good printer, on which the quality of your work largely depends. Spend your money and buy laser printer, which, with excellent printing quality, will quickly recoup your purchase costs and will bring you a solid profit, because the production of one original layout on an A4 sheet costs from $5 and more. In order to find clients, similar to printing activities, submit advertisements to newspapers or post advertisements around the city.

3. LAMINATION
Do lamination - covering documents, forms, photographs, etc. with protective plastic. The laminating machine is miniature, relatively inexpensive and will pay for the cost of its purchase within the first month of operation.

The approximate cost of laminating a driver's license is $1.00.

4. MANUFACTURING OF ENVELOPES

And by hanging your advertisements in post offices or publishing them in local and out-of-town advertising and information publications, you will ensure good sales of the manufactured envelopes.

5. PUBLISHING
Publishing is one of the most profitable types business. It can bring profit, depending on your capabilities, from several to tens of rubles. First, decide what you will publish. This could be a solid book of 200-300 pages or a brochure of 10-20 pages. When selecting material for a book or brochure, it is very important not to violate copyright and therefore not fall under a certain article of the law. When reprinting materials from foreign sources, be sure to provide a link to this source.

Carefully calculate the consumer value of your book and the costs of publishing it. If you do not have sufficient funds, arrange a subscription to it with an advance payment. This will allow you to collect the necessary amount to publish your materials.

Sell ​​your book among subscribers, at bookstores, through Rospechat kiosks, etc. By placing an ad in the media mass media or by posting them around the city, for example, at the same bookstores, you can sell it by mail.

6. BOOK SALES; PRIVATE LIBRARY
Despite the abundance of books on the market, their sale remains a very profitable and promising business. Buy books for sale directly from publishing houses or from wholesalers, where they are sold without a trade markup, much cheaper than in city bookstores. Sell ​​them in crowded places” at the same bookstores, bookstores, by mail, etc.

Having collected a certain number of the most interesting books of various genres and adding to them books from your home collection, organize a private library and rent out books on bail. This idea is feasible not only at train stations and airports, where people while waiting for a train or plane happily while away the time reading an interesting book, but also in any friend in a crowded place. Go to your nearest library and see that despite the huge number of books on the shelves, it is almost impossible to choose something worthwhile.

7. SOUND AND VIDEO RECORDING
If you have a two-cassette tape recorder or, better yet, a tape recorder with a CD player and have free time, get into sound recording. By duplicating recordings of popular music and selling them in crowded places, for example, in clothing markets, near the metro, etc., or by accepting orders for recordings, you can earn good money. You will receive the largest number of orders by posting your advertisements in technical schools, universities, hostels and other places where there are a lot of young people. Selling cassettes by mail will also have a good effect. To do this, submit advertisements in newspapers and send everyone who responds to it a detailed catalog of available recordings, indicating the cost of the tapes and the terms of their shipment and payment. Buy clean cassettes at clothing markets or wholesalers.

Now almost every second family has a VCR, and video recording can also be a very profitable business. To do this you will need two VCRs. Otherwise, everything is similar to sound recording.

In the future, having earned a small capital, it is important to expand and organize a small sound and video recording company, scattering several retail outlets around the city.

8. VIDEO RENTAL
You don't even need a VCR to carry out this activity. By purchasing several dozen video cassettes (DVD, CD) with recordings of popular and new films and organizing their rental on bail, you will receive a source of daily stable income. The only condition that guarantees your success in this matter is that the repertoire of films must change periodically.

9. REPAIR OF HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES
Our domestic equipment, and in particular televisions, often fail and are very good earnings can give you a job repairing them. If you do not have the necessary qualifications for this, enroll in the appropriate courses and within two to three months you will feel like a specialist in the field of radio engineering and acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to repair televisions. And by publishing your advertisements in newspapers, posting them around the city or placing them in mailboxes (everyone now has a TV), you will get an excellent opportunity to test this knowledge in practice.

You can also repair other household appliances, for example, refrigerators, audio-video recorders, computers, etc. In addition, not all of our TVs are equipped with a PAL unit, low-frequency input, UHF and remote control units. By purchasing these units in radio stores, in specialized markets, or making them yourself, start installing them in TVs. It should be noted that, for example, without a UHF or LF input unit it is impossible to connect a VCR to a TV, and without a PAL unit it is impossible to see a color image, since most videotapes are recorded in this color system. Therefore, by installing these blocks, you will receive a large number of clients and earn good money.

10. MANUFACTURING RADIO ELECTRONICS
This work can be done even without special skills in handling a soldering iron, which will come with practice. Buy schematics, detailed descriptions of assembly and setup, radio components, circuit boards, housings and other necessary materials for the independent manufacture of remote control units, PAL units, telephones with automatic number identification (AON), and Sinclair-type computers from radio stores or specialized markets. They are very easy to manufacture, assembled in a few days and are in constant demand among customers. More powerful computers such as PCs are very expensive and inaccessible to families with average incomes, and “Sinclair”, with its availability and low cost, allows you to get acquainted with the fascinating world of computer games in practice, gain basic programming skills (unlike game consoles) and will remain very popular. The importance of PAL blocks was discussed above, but you probably know very well yourself about the popularity of Caller ID phones.

Sell ​​your products in the same markets, at radio stores, or place an ad in periodical advertising and information publications and post them around the city. Success is guaranteed to you!

11. PRIVATE CARRIER
Having a personal car and knowing your city well. You will earn a lot of money by operating a private taxi service. And for this it is not at all necessary to drive around the city, looking around in search of voters. Stand in front of large stores that sell large items, such as furniture, refrigerators, televisions, etc. Delivery services are not always prompt, and often non-existent, and you can help people deliver the items they have purchased. You can “pick up” clients standing at train stations or just near the metro and at stops where public transport is poor. This work is most effective in the late evening or even at night, when transport does not run at all or runs extremely rarely.

You should not lose sight of the fact that many commercial enterprises require drivers with personal vehicles, for example, to transport goods to retail outlets in the morning and transport them back to the warehouse in the evening. This job pays very well.

12. CAR DRIVING TRAINING
Typically, the level of driving training in driving schools does not allow you to prepare well for the traffic police exam. By publishing your advertisements in newspapers, posting them around the city, near driving schools and recruiting students, you will ensure yourself a decent income. To attract the largest number of clients, set your tuition fees slightly lower than at a driving school. Give the first lessons only on quiet streets, in special closed areas, etc. And only as your student masters driving skills; drive with it to busier sections of roads, to intersections with heavy traffic. It is very important that your student is able to put into practice the theoretical knowledge of traffic rules that he receives at school.

It is necessary to take into account that only those who have at least 3 years of driving experience can engage in this business. And don’t forget to install “Training” identification marks on the windshield and rear window of your car. Perhaps you will start releasing special video courses.

13. BREEDING PEDIGREE DOGS
Dogs can not only relieve stress and lift their owners’ spirits, but also bring income to the family. And which! The annual “salary” of an ordinary dog ​​is a few rubles. It should be noted that this business requires at the initial stage not only monetary costs and physical strength, but also a certain mental attitude. Without this attitude, without love, care, without responsibility for the fate of your pets, there is no point in getting down to business.

Buy a puppy only with a good pedigree and carefully check the authenticity of its documents. It is best to buy from kennel clubs or at sales exhibitions that are regularly held by these clubs. Here you can compare puppies and consult with canine specialists about which puppy is most promising for breeding. Remember that only a quality puppy proper care, education and with a good attitude towards him, over time he will turn into a quality dog. And for your future business this is crucial.

It should be noted that breeding purebred cats can also bring good income.

14. BREEDING PETS
Good income can be generated by breeding pets: hamsters, white mice, guinea pigs, etc. These small animals are unpretentious, feed exclusively on food of plant origin, reproduce with amazing speed and are always popular with children.

Breeding budgerigars is also of great commercial interest. aquarium fish. Many people who started this business live only on the income from this activity. Of course, to achieve such a result, you need to pay constant attention to your pets, have some experience and great knowledge in this matter. Read the relevant literature, consult with specialists and people involved in breeding the species of your choice, and over time you will get no less results.

You can sell pets, birds, fish at bird markets, pet stores, etc. In the future, you can open your own zoo or even a private pet store, selling not only animals, but also food for them, cages, aquariums, and various devices to care for them, etc.

15. PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES
Even with minimal skills in handling a camera and photographic equipment, you can get into photography. At first, it is not at all necessary to have a darkroom. You can take the film to a photo studio for processing. Shoot on the street and at home, in kindergartens and schools, at weddings and other celebrations. Deliver the photographs taken to the customer yourself or send them by mail. Lately on Russian market Polaroid cameras appeared, which allow you to take pictures almost instantly. However, according to unverified data, photographs taken in this way are not of very high quality and darken over time.

Having gained some experience in this matter, you can open a private photo studio and take artistic photographs and photographs for documents. Photographer services are always needed and well paid.

Today, some people have a video camera, and if you are one of them, it makes sense to engage in video shooting.

16. HAIRDRESSER SERVICES
No person can do without the services of a hairdresser. And at the same time. that prices for all types of hairdressing services are persistently creeping up, you can organize your own home hairdresser and make great money by first completing relatively inexpensive courses and receiving the appropriate certificate.

Equip your hallway with a mirror and shelves, buy the necessary Equipment and start with your friends and work colleagues. If your first practice is successful, the rumor about inexpensive hairdressing services will spread through your acquaintances and acquaintances of your acquaintances, like circles from a stone thrown into water, and you will not have problems with clients and, as a result, with money. In the future, you can submit advertisements to the media, post them around the city and work on call at the client’s home.

17. HOUSEHOLD SERVICES
Organize a private atelier of household services. Work alone or with help, such as your family, in your own home or in a client's home. Clean apartments and offices, wash and iron clothes, wash windows, look after apartments in the absence of owners: water flowers, take out mail, care for pets. You can make good money by exterminating domestic insects.

If you have knowledge in the field of science, take up tutoring. Place advertisements in newspapers or post them in schools, technical schools, universities, or simply in crowded places in your city. Help your clients master the sciences, prepare them for tests, exams, and admission to universities and technical schools. You can perform various tasks, drawing work, prepare coursework and diploma projects, etc. Compiling a collection can bring good income best essays, a collection of solutions to standard problems in mathematics, physics, chemistry with their subsequent sale through kiosks and Rospechat stores, through street book sellers, by mail or in the same universities.

19. TRANSLATOR SERVICES
Today, many firms and entrepreneurs enter the international market, wanting to establish business contacts with foreign partners. As a rule, the conclusion of any contract or transaction is preceded by a long correspondence and, having difficulties with the language, they need the services of a translator. Such services are absolutely necessary for people working with various publications in foreign languages, when translating various technical literature, advertising brochures, etc.

Using your knowledge of the language, you can make a good income working as such a translator. And if your knowledge allows you to communicate freely in a foreign language, work at international exhibitions, presentations, on excursions with the participation of foreign guests, etc.

Buy a typewriter with a Latin font and, in parallel with translation, draw up business correspondence abroad. It wouldn’t hurt to have a typewriter with Russian font for translation into Russian. To find profitable clients, publish advertisements in newspapers or post advertisements around the city.

20. SALE"SECOND HAND"
Recently, many shops and wholesale centers have appeared in Russia selling “Second hand” - used clothes by weight, where for a ridiculous price you can buy quite tolerable things, among which there are also practically new ones, for example, those that have gone out of fashion in some countries But this does not mean at all that it is the same for us.

Start selling these clothes. This business is very profitable! Go to one of the large stores or wholesale warehouse and pick up a small amount of clothes to start. .I usually sell goods to wholesale buyers in bags of 25-100 kilograms and offer significant discounts. In order not to make a mistake, consult with the store (base) employees about what product is best to buy for sale and where to sell it.

After purchasing the goods, go to the market or travel to other cities, taking into account the specifics and climatic conditions of this region, and sell the clothes individually, and not by weight. The result of such trading is always the same - a good profit.

You can sew or knit custom-made models, developed independently or based on patterns and drawings in specialized publications and fashion magazines. Sell ​​your items at clothing markets or take them to consignment and commercial stores.

22. FOOD PRODUCTION
Relatively inexpensive, small-sized and easy-to-use equipment for the production of popcorn, crispy potatoes, cotton candy and other food products pays for itself in 2-3 months of operation and can generate a stable monthly income of several rubles. In the future, having accumulated a small capital, you will be able to buy more expensive and much more profitable equipment such as a bakery or an alcohol production unit.

24. SALES OF COLD DRINKS
Organize a stall or mine-cafe selling soft drinks, ice cream, etc. In hot weather, you can earn good money by selling these products, for example, on beaches or in gardening. Buy ice cream directly from a cold storage facility or from wholesalers, and you can make drinks yourself, for example, from concentrates.

IN summer period many enterprises need kvass sellers. Earnings are a percentage of revenue. You can sell 2-3 barrels of kvass per day, earning a significant amount. You can prepare kvass yourself.

25. COLLECTION AND TRANSPORTATION OF FOOD PRODUCTS
Rent a car or use your personal vehicle and organize the collection or purchase of agricultural products in areas where there is an abundance of it, for example, on state farms. You can also buy milk from the nearest state farm. By bringing these products to the city, where they can be sold, usually 2-3 times more expensive, you will earn good money.

You can organize the collection and transportation of fruits, vegetables and any other goods from other regions to your city. For example, walnuts and corn grow in the southern regions of Ukraine and Moldova; you transport watermelons from Astrakhan in August during the harvest period, etc. You will not only recoup all expenses, but also make a solid profit. In this case, in the near future you can become a major entrepreneur.

26. FISHING, GROWING AND CATCHING CRAWFISH
Currently, prices for most types of fish and crayfish have increased sharply and in some cases even exceed the cost of animal meat. Agree that no one will refuse to buy freshly caught fish, much less crayfish. In addition, some restaurants buy crayfish.

In the future, you can organize a point for the sale of fish products and sell fish caught yourself or negotiate with organizations licensed to catch fish on the supply of fish and fish products. You can also organize a small workshop for the production of fish products.

27. EARNING EARNINGS IN YOUR GARDEN
If you have a garden plot, you are a millionaire! In addition to the fact that the land itself is of great value, you can earn good money on “six hundred square meters”. And for this it is not at all necessary to build up a plot of land with ultra-modern heated Dutch greenhouses and grow exotic vegetables and fruits such as pineapples or kiwis for sale. The experience of gardeners shows that in the North-West region, on generally not very fertile land, it is possible to grow a crop sufficient to feed a family, make supplies for the winter, and sell the excess on the market, receiving an income of up to 10 rubles, etc. Grow potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, onions. garlic, herbs, and in good years bring strawberries, apples, currants, plums, etc. to the market.

By the way, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have your own garden plot. Take advantage of the fact that some farms allocate plots of land for rent to urban residents. In addition, you can rent part of the land from villagers.

A good income can also come from breeding and fattening pigs, rabbits, poultry: chickens, geese, ducks, etc. With relatively low labor costs, you can get a short time many different products: meat, lard, eggs, etc.

28. FLORICULTURE
One of the most profitable and at the same time internally satisfying activities is floriculture. Start growing carnations or roses, which are the most unpretentious and are in great demand. Having earned some capital from this during the warm period of the year, build a greenhouse for the winter, even if it takes all your savings. But in subsequent years, your fortune will grow exponentially.

29. COLLECTION OF MUSHROOMS, BERRIES, MEDICINAL HERBS
If you are a fan of “quiet hunting,” you can combine business with pleasure and, while walking through the forest, engage in industrial mushroom picking, for example, under an agreement with a procurement base or simply selling them at the market. In addition to the fact that you will make preparations for yourself, you will also earn good money: tens of rubles per kilogram of dried products. And there is now a great demand abroad for our mushrooms, for example, chanterelles, which, according to the latest data, are a natural anti-cancer drug. Finns, Poles, Dutch, and especially the Japanese buy them in large quantities.

In good years, it makes sense to engage in industrial procurement of berries: blueberries, forest raspberries, cranberries, lingonberries, which are also in great and constant demand.

The procurement of medicinal herbs and plants, which our land is so rich in, is also of great commercial interest. For example, linden blossoms in July. Its flowers are a valuable medicine and are accepted in pharmacies. After the rain, the linden tree completely crumbles and it is not difficult to collect, wash, dry its flowers and sell it for a certain fee. Of course, collecting medicinal herbs is a matter for a connoisseur, and if you decide to do it, first go to a specialized herbal pharmacy and find out everything in detail: how and where to start.

30. VINE WEAVING
Wicker weaving, a traditional Russian craft, is once again becoming not only popular, but also a very profitable business. From free natural materials: twigs, branches, vines, reeds and even straw, you can make a great variety of useful and beautiful things: from mushroom baskets to elegant boxes and openwork furniture, which are very expensive - handmade!

Of course, at first, without professional skills, there can be no talk of any furniture or boxes, but you can weave basic baskets for mushrooms and for storing vegetables. If you decide to take up this trade, take a sharp knife, or even better, a pruner, and go to harvest the vines. The vine is nothing more than the well-known willow, willow, broom, etc. These shrubs grow everywhere. After cutting the twigs, peel them from the bark and dry them thoroughly in the sun. Before weaving baskets, scald the vine in water so that it is flexible and pliable. You can read what to do next and how to weave baskets in special reference books and magazines.

It makes sense to engage in other folk crafts, such as wood carving, hand embroidery, macrame, etc. These products are also in great and constant demand.

The other possible activities listed below, in our opinion, do not require further explanation. If you decide to do one of them, you can easily figure out, based on the information provided in these materials and on your own knowledge, how to organize this business and what you should do first of all to organize it.

Video

The video presents 50 ideas for small businesses that are relevant in 2019. Taken from the To-Biz Business Ideas channel.

What are the benefits of trading in a small town? What is the best business to run at home? How to open your own business with minimal investment?

Working for yourself is like growing up. Anyone who wants to gain independence sooner or later leaves their home - leaves the hired service and begins to work exclusively for themselves.

Good, The choice of areas for personal business is unlimited. The only problem is to find the type of activity that will truly reveal your talents and abilities to the fullest.

Denis Kuderin is with you, an expert on the HeatherBober portal on economic and financial issues. IN new article I will tell, what business to start to earn a lot and consistently, what business ideas are most promising today and now, and what is more profitable - a YouTube channel or a home photo studio.

Don’t switch – you will learn a lot of interesting things.

1. Business with minimal investment - let’s stop work and let's begin earn

There is an opinion that successful businessman need to be born. They say that this requires a special mindset, extraordinary abilities and a specific character. Millions of people believe that entrepreneurship is not for them. That they won’t be able to work for themselves. That their business will fail. That they don’t know how to count money, etc.

Of course, we are born with different abilities and inclinations, there is no doubt about that.

However, I personally prefer this point of view: every person from birth is an entrepreneur. When he is born, he already has a ready-made company - himself. It depends only on you whether this company will become successful. You are the manager of this company, its CEO and the controlling shareholder.

Thousands of people are working for themselves right now. They do not expect a salary from the employer, are not afraid of dismissal, and set their own working hours.

This does not mean that their life is complete euphoria. There are enough problems in the life of a businessman. Perhaps there are even more of them than an employee. But all the disadvantages of “free swimming” are outweighed by a big plus - you become the master of your life and your time, set your own goals and determine your priorities.

And a few more advantages:

• a huge selection of destinations for commercial activities – if you want, teach everyone how to paint in your own studio, if you want, make soap in the garage;
• the amount of income is unlimited– you set the upper limit yourself in accordance with your ambitions and goals;
• free schedule, vacation not when allowed, but when wanted– you independently manage your main asset – time;
• you are not tied to a workplace– work wherever you want: at home, in the garage, in an Internet cafe, on a personal plot;
• you set the rules yourself– no one obliges you to follow strict regulations and schedules.

If you fail to achieve results in one area of ​​business, you always have the right to change the direction of activity to the diametrically opposite one. If your online business is not working out, get involved in purely earthly technologies - open a shawarma shop or start a business.

I have a friend who dealt successively with: animal feed, video equipment, Indian gems and jewelry (he brought it from India himself), equipment for private (home) cinemas, commercial real estate, and information products.

Not to say that he failed in every type of activity - on the contrary, reaching a certain level, he realized that he was losing interest in the chosen topic, and saw broader prospects in another area.

But do not confuse freedom with sloppiness, indifference and projectism. A naturally lazy and undisciplined person is unlikely to achieve serious success in business. The money will not be transferred to your account on its own– simply because you declared yourself an entrepreneur.

You will definitely have to work hard and persistently. Perhaps even more than in the office or production. You will need self-control, self-confidence, the ability to calculate options and make decisions on your own.

Being an entrepreneur means working hard and being a multitasker.

Is it necessary to have initial capital? It all depends on the type of activity you plan to engage in. If you open an online store, you will have to purchase goods and launch a website. And this requires money.

Similarly with production - consumables and equipment require investment. But there is different variants– lease, rent, find investors.

But if you sell exclusively intellectual services, then capital is not required. You'll only have to waste your time. But time doesn’t pay off right away. It is necessary to acquire clients, develop skills, and ideally undergo training.

Give up the hope that a couple of weeks or even months after launching a business, gold coins will start pouring into your wallet. Business, especially small business, requires patience and hard work. Everything will happen, but not right away - remember this phrase!

And for those who need a reliable and proven option with a guarantee of profitability, we offer to invest money in a ready-made business - purchase a franchise from the company. The co-owner of a chain of restaurants serving Japanese and Pan-Asian cuisine is Alex Yanovsky, an entrepreneur with 20 years of experience, the owner of his own School “Business Behind Glass”.

The founders of HeatherBeaver magazine know Alex personally - his business schemes really work and generate income.

Moreover, our good friend Sergei opened a business under this franchise in the city of Maykop - he launched a point in the “island” format. His investment of 1.5 million rubles paid off within six months. So we can confidently recommend his franchise to both beginners and experienced businessmen.

2. 5 popular areas in business

In fact, there are more directions, but these five are proven and well-trodden paths along which thousands of aspiring businessmen like you are successfully and confidently walking right now.

Let's look at all the pros and features the most popular areas of small and medium-sized businesses.

1) Resale of goods

The most accessible type of business.

Its principle is simple and has not changed since ancient times: buy goods in bulk in one place at a low price and resell them in another at a higher cost.

Stable income comes from those goods that everyone needs - food, clothing, shoes, household chemicals, cosmetics. The consumer goods market has billions of dollars in turnover and the same profits.

Another thing is that they take the lion's share for themselves large corporations. Beginners are left to look for narrow niches and maneuver between mass-market products and exclusive goods.

When choosing the profile of your company, focus not only on demand, but also on the state of the economy. For example, during a crisis, most people have no time for luxury - Swiss fountain pens with a platinum nib are unlikely to be sold quickly and profitably in a small town, where the average salary is half the cost of this very fountain pen.

Such populated areas you should choose a more popular product– for example, open a stock store with inexpensive branded clothing. Or a smartphone store - analogues of well-known companies, but originally from the People's Republic of China.

Small towns, on the one hand, offer excellent prospects, but on the other hand, they are unpredictable in terms of business development.

The table will outline the trading situation in small towns more clearly:

The universal salvation for any modern trade is the Internet. Here the audience is not limited geographically. Live in Torzhok, and send goods to either Moscow or Nizhny Novgorod.

2) Provision of services

You don't have to sell material things. Professional services are no less in demand than clothing or food.

There are many examples:

• accounting services;
• printing center;
• Interior design;
• writing texts to order;
• organization of banquets;
• creation and promotion of websites;
• Internet Marketing;
• Pizza delivery;
• repair of bicycles or household appliances;
• writing coursework etc.

Any matter that you understand or want to understand is suitable. The modern world is differentiated and belongs to narrow specialists. Family lawyer, tutor, commercial writer and other specialties are no longer a curiosity and are constantly required.

3) Production

More and more small enterprises are opening in the Russian Federation: in conditions of crisis and sanctions, domestic producers entered new markets.

Are in stable demand natural food. If you focus on quality, then even the relative high cost of production will pay off due to a higher price. The modern consumer is ready to overpay for healthy and environmentally friendly products.

You will find more details about production activities in the article “”.

4) Real estate transactions

An option for those who have substantial starting capital. The real estate market, despite gloomy forecasts, continues to bring profits to owners of liquid housing. Earnings from rentals, sales and other operations with residential and non-residential premises are traditionally high.

5) Business on the Internet

The most promising modern direction. And the least expensive if you sell not a product via the Internet, but your skills or services.

But first, you need to master at least one of the most popular professions - website designer, SEO promotion specialist, copywriter, social media administrator. Or make money on your website, affiliate programs.

It's not as difficult as it seems - the main thing is not to be lazy and not stay too long in the status of a beginner. If you want to succeed, read the large article on our website, which is called “”.

3. What kind of business can you start - TOP 10 ideas for a beginning businessman

Let's get down to specifics.

Ten promising ideas for beginners with minimal experience.

1) Homemade soap making

The first private soap makers of our time made soap right in their apartments. Some people still do this, but it is better to have a separate room for these purposes.

I have a friend who lives in Chisinau. Katerina started making handmade soap 7 years ago. The first experiments - multi-colored ellipses of soap with herbal scents, which she sent me as product samples - cost her too much. In addition, in Moldova the demand for this product was almost zero.

She gradually improved the technology, accumulated a customer base and now has a full-fledged online store, where, in addition to designer soap, there are a lot of other exclusive and natural products. High price does not confuse buyers from Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities. They care about quality, original execution and purely natural ingredients.

2) Tutoring

If you are fluent in foreign languages, six string guitar, school subjects, other useful skills and knowledge, no one will forbid you share your experience with others for money.

Thanks to Skype you can teach people all over the world

3) Management of corporate events and holidays

An idea for people with organizational and public speaking skills. Creative thinking, self-confidence and a little courage, and you will become the soul of any audience.

The ingredients for success are as follows: constant practice, original scripts, competent design of the room, constantly changing repertoire.

4) Equipment repair

If you were born with a screwdriver in your hands, clearly understand how household appliances work, and understand electronics, why not turn your skills into a source of income?

Modern technology has a low safety margin. Most people are better off getting their washing machine repaired than buying a new one. Meanwhile, repairing one “washing machine” costs from 2 to 5 thousand rubles . Several orders a day, and the income will be enough not only for bread and butter, but also for annual leave on Bali.

Minimum costs – tools, diagnostic equipment, spare parts. If you have a garage, then the problem of renting a room disappears. Large equipment can be repaired at the customer’s home.

5) Food delivery

In Novosibirsk, where I live, you can order anything to your home or office, from hot corn to a full meal from a Chinese restaurant.

Such a business requires investments - renting premises and transport, purchasing raw materials, paying employees. Permits from sanitary services are needed: the premises must have ventilation, all necessary communications, and employees must have sanitary records.

6) Transportation of goods

Are you the owner of a truck? Engage in the transportation of large-sized cargo. You don't even have to buy a car - rent or lease it.
