Thanks to the internet, it’s never been easier to start your own business from the comfort of your own home. If you’ve been working a 9-5 office job for years and are tired of commuting to and from your workplace every morning and evening, the idea of sitting at home in your pajamas whilst running your own company can be a very alluring one. With more people and companies buying services and products online than ever before, it’s possible to have your own company started within just a few days and with little to no start-up capital. Here are some great business ideas that you can start from home today.
Manufacturing
With the new President Trump fully supporting U.S. manufacturing and production companies along with cutting corporate income tax from 35% to 15%, starting a manufacturing business is likely to be a highly profitable venture within the next four years. Whether you manufacture products for consumer use, provide or maintain machinery, or provide services such as branding products with a laser cutter, a business in this industry has a great chance of being successful. Manufacturing could mean anything from making and selling candles and soaps to vehicle parts or chemicals.
Digital Marketing
Today, it’s more essential than ever before for companies and blogs to have a strong online presence. Without making an impact online, it can be difficult for companies today to make an impact offline and develop their customer base. Thanks to the advancements in modern technology, customers are increasingly turning to apps, the internet, and social media to find the brands and businesses that they connect with. But, with so many different departments to look after, business owners often delegate the digital marketing side of things to dedicated professionals. If you have a background in marketing or some experience of marketing online, this could be the perfect home based business idea for you.
Content Creation
If you can get your point across well and have good grammar and sentence structure, you might want to offer content as a home-based company. With the necessity for businesses to be online bigger than ever before, content creation companies can earn a lot of money when they get it right. Thanks to cloud computing apps such as Google Sheets and Dropbox, you can even employ freelance contractors or full-time employees to work on your behalf remotely.
Blogging
Do you have a hobby that you’re passionate enough about to do it every day and even do it for a living? If so, then you can be sure that you can find many other people across the world who share this hobby with you. Or, are you particularly knowledgeable about a certain subject, and enjoy giving advice to others. If people regularly ask your opinion on a certain topic as they know that you’re highly knowledgeable in it, you might want to think about starting your own blog – an awesome way to get your point across and use your own knowledge to help others learn more.
Filmmaking and Video Creation
Do you enjoy creating short films or making animated movies? If so, this is a great hobby to turn into a home-based business. Today, video is quickly becoming one of the most effective marketing techniques for businesses, having been used for decades in the form of television advertisements. Today, social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram promote the use of short videos and video marketing is expected to rapidly grow. With an increasing number of companies using video marketing, people who can create interesting, attention-grabbing videos are in high demand.
Home Services
When it comes to home based business ideas, many of the suggestions that you’ll probably get today are based online. However, there are many business ideas that you can run from home that aren’t solely business conducted over the internet. For example, offering home services such as cleaning, car valeting and pet watching can be very profitable as these are all things that people need and will pay for in order to save time and gain more convenience.
DIY Products
If you’re artistic and creative, making your own products to sell can be a great business idea to start from home. For example, many sellers on sites such as Etsy make money from selling handmade items such as personalized greetings cards, refurbished furniture, handmade clothing items, art prints and more. If crafting and creating things is what you enjoy doing, you don’t have to miss out from financial gains either.
