Top Easy And Profitable Business Ideas: Starting your own business from home can seem like an overwhelming prospect, but it’s actually easier than you think. You just need to start somewhere, and there are so many different options available to you that it can be hard to decide which one to go with!
Top Easy And Profitable Business Ideas
We’ve narrowed down the list to these top 10 easy and profitable business ideas, all of which have simple, understandable descriptions and basic how-to guides, so you can get your business started on the right foot with the best chance of success!
Creative Pursuits
While it may seem cliché, being creative is one of the easiest ways to find business ideas. Artisans are known for utilizing their talents to create highly sought-after products, from fashion design to furniture making. While you don’t have to be an artist by trade (or even artistic at all) to get started, creating a product that resonates with consumers could make you stand out among more run-of-the-mill businesses in your market. Don’t be afraid of going out on a limb with a unique business idea – sometimes thinking outside of conventional business models is necessary for success.
Pet Care
If you love animals and have a knack for caring for them, then starting a pet-care business might be right up your alley. You could start a dog-walking service or offer to take care of other people’s pets when they’re away on vacation or leave town for business. If you know people with fish tanks, a cleaning service can be a great way to drum up business from them. Plus, it’s an easy job that doesn’t require specialized training.
Influencer Marketing
In business, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution—and what might be effective for one company or campaign may not work for you. In fact, there are a number of factors that contribute to success, including how your idea is communicated, how you plan to measure results, and whether or not it fits into your overall marketing plan. One unique business idea worth considering is influencer marketing.
If a person with an established following likes your product or service enough to rave about it online, then it stands to reason they’ll likely persuade others to give it a try as well. Reach out directly with offers on everything from discount codes and free trials to affiliate programs and contests. Be sure to read over our list of influencer marketing platforms first!
Online Coaching
Many startups in South Africa are focused on solving a specific problem. However, sometimes it is easier to make your startup unique by adding a unique twist to an existing business idea. For example, if you have a background in accounting, you could offer virtual bookkeeping and online tax-filing services to individuals and businesses.
This way you can apply your expertise and start earning money from home without having to build an infrastructure from scratch. You also save yourself some work by using tools like QuickBooks Online or Xero which will help you with accounting tasks online.
Photography Business
Whether you’ve just gotten into electronics or have a pro interest in them, mobile phone repair might be a good business for you. It doesn’t matter whether it’s smartphone repair, tablets, laptops, or game consoles—there’s always an opportunity to buy devices and charge people for fixing them when they break.
Just make sure you know what you’re doing—if your attempts at repairing devices wind up being more of a hassle than it’s worth, people won’t come back and may take their business elsewhere. For more information on how to start a mobile phone repair business from home, check out Udemy or Skillshare.
Domain Flipping
If you’re still trying to break into blogging, consider buying and reselling domain names that rank high on search engines. You can find some good names using a site like GoDaddy’s Domain Name Search tool. Of course, you should also be sure that you actually know how to make money online before deciding what domain names to buy.
Otherwise, it will be hard to turn a profit on them in the later stages of your career! Also, keep in mind that if you pay too much for your domains—or any other property—there’s no guarantee they’ll earn enough income for you to turn a profit. Think about your own hobbies or passion—and imagine if someone else profited from them without paying for them.
Data Entry/Editing
If you have great attention to detail and you’re good at double-checking things, then a freelance data entry job might be right for you. You’d work with spreadsheets and documents of various kinds, checking for inconsistencies.
Many people who do freelance data entry also enjoy writing, so if you could be interested in that kind of thing, too—even better! As a bonus, many companies can make their own schedules. So if your availability is variable or it’s just hard to work in an office every day, freelancing could be perfect for you.
House Cleaning
If you have a knack for cleaning, and you enjoy keeping things spic-and-span, consider starting a house cleaning service. Obviously, if you’re just getting started, your client base will be limited to friends and family. Once your business starts to take off though, you can expand into neighboring towns or regions until you have a full staff of housecleaners at your disposal.
If that’s too small for your liking, consider going regional—you can hire local cleaners who live near one another so that there are fewer managers (or none at all) as well as no paperwork required! A regional cleaning service with multiple independent contractors may even qualify for special government-funding opportunities reserved for minority businesses!
Driving Service
If you live in a densely populated city, using your car to make money on demand is an ideal business idea. It’s pretty simple too: sign up with one of many driving services (Uber, Lyft), get your customers from point A to point B, and collect payment. Check out Flexjobs for more information! You can also read reviews about some of these companies at Knoji – or consider other options for making money with your car.
I’ve already talked about driving as a business opportunity in detail here – just remember that if you’re going to do it full-time, be sure to register your car as an in-kind donation with whatever company you work for (if they even allow that) so that tax deductions are available during tax season.
Mobile Phone Repair Business
Starting a mobile phone repair business is easy and profitable. All you need to do is set up a website, buy some replacement parts, and learn how to fix common problems. If you’re good at fixing smartphones, tablets, or gaming devices then you should have no problem making money.
You could even help people save hundreds of dollars by showing them how to fix their devices instead of buying new ones. Start by searching for common issues on YouTube or Reddit; it’ll give you an idea of what types of repairs people are commonly having trouble with. Let those videos guide your research so that you’re prepared when someone calls with a question about one of your products.
Pet Grooming
The pet grooming industry is huge and filled with opportunities. By starting a pet grooming business, you can capitalize on people’s desire to have their pets well taken care of, while earning extra income. If you live in an area where there aren’t any doggy daycares or kennels nearby, consider starting your own dog-grooming business! You could work from home (in some cases) and set your own hours. You might want to consider partnering with local veterinarians to offer special packages for new clients; for example, you could buy discounted shampoo that you can then resell at a higher price point.
Event Planning
It’s important to know your client and take their needs into account. You will be working with them one-on-one, so it’s a good idea to know how much effort they want to put into planning their party. Also, are there any restrictions or specifications that need to be taken into account?
Keep these things in mind as you plan out your event so that everything goes smoothly on the day of. You may also want to get legal advice in order to make sure you don’t accidentally break any laws while running your business.
Website Development
Websites are an integral part of any business, so if you’re looking to start a business from home, consider developing websites for other companies. There are many website design programs that make it easy to set up websites and blogs. One program worth considering is WordPress; as a web developer myself, I can tell you that building your own WordPress website is both super easy and great fun (as well as profitable).
Once your site is ready to go live, you can use it as a platform for advertising or monetizing with affiliate links. And by making extra cash on sites built on WordPress, you could potentially even cover your hosting fees!
Rental Cleaning
An estimated 40 million homeowners are renters. It stands to reason that if residential cleaning is a market worth $18 billion, then there’s also a large subset of renters who could stand to make money from their skills. Renting your services out on craigslist or Thumbtack is a great way to test your ability to sell your own house cleaning skills.
You may be surprised by how much cash you generate from booking just a few clients. On one end of the spectrum, for example, if you can land high-dollar weekly contracts at multi-million dollar homes in Beverly Hills, you may be able to charge up to $250 per hour or more!
Personal Chef
If you’re handy in a kitchen, start a personal chef business. A great way to reach customers is through sites like TaskRabbit and UrbanSitter (both owned by IAC), as well as Thumbtack and GigWalk. If you have your own kitchen space — perhaps a home or apartment with its own cooking infrastructure.
You can create an on-demand meal delivery service that delivers straight to clients’ doorsteps. You’ll need plenty of food-handling certifications, but if you’re passionate about cooking, it’s a good way to make some money while developing new skills.
