Then you're in the right place ..... here are 5 simple business ideas to get you started - any of these you could start to implement today.
Set yourself up a side hassle with the intention of going full time, once your income matches your salary.
It's never too late to start!
- Affiliate Marketing. If you don't have a product or service to promote, that's not a deal breaker. You could start with affiliate marketing and sell other peoples products instead. You can get some pretty good commission rates up to 40% for information based products and sometimes higher. You can find affiliate programmes everywhere online so you can simply chose what you want to promote and make a start, with very little set up cost.
- Consultant. Do you have a lot of experience or expertise in something in an area that will allow you to market as an advisor? This could be in your current line of work. You can teach people the best codes of practice and how to learn from the mistakes you have made in your own career (note you would need to be licensed and regulated if you were going to offer legal or financial advice).
- Freelance. Do you have a skill that you could offer to business's looking for one-off projects or monthly support? There are numerous sites that allow you to promote your services to other businesses including Fiverr, Upwork and People per Hour (to name a few). This could include administrative support, website design, copy writing, any other kind of writing (blogs, books, articles etc), social media marketing, book keeping, telemarketing, video editing and creation - and many many more! Have a look at these sites to see the depth of services people are currently promoting and earning from.
- Lead Generator. Every business needs customers and if you can bring quality potential customers into a business, most will be happy to pay you for it. Make sure you understand the businesses you are targeting and the their industry - then run strategic advertising campaigns to attract hot leads and sell them on.
- Middleman. Using the services mentioned in the Freelance section - you could act as a middleman or matchmaker, selling a service to a business and outsourcing this service to a specialist on a freelance site. This could be for video marketing, website creation, social media and much much more. You would need to make sure that the person you are using provides quality work but you will be able to judge this from the number of reviews they have and by testing them out with a project of your own first.
These are only 5 ideas to get your brain juices in flow. Have a look around on some of these sites and have fun with it. You are bound to get some inspiration and ideas of your own. Opportunities really are limitless - you just have to be open to them and use your imagination a little!
Good luck and more importantly - have fun! ;o)
Have a great day! 😃
