Business Start-up Tips

The Basics - Start Here

Before we get to the actual list of 597 business ideas, let’s go over how to proceed once you find a business that appeals to you. Obviously, In a few cases, links to helpful resources or excellent courses have been included. For all other cases, a simple Google search of “How to become a….” with your business choice will provide you with an abundance of articles, books, and Youtube videos that will take you through the next steps.

Once you make your choice, spend a few days reading everything you possibly can about your chosen business option, so you have a thorough understanding of what is required and what it takes to succeed.


Next, you need to write down a basic business plan. Rather than running blindly and hoping for the best, set some clear goals and timelines and adjust along the way as needed.


Start by writing out what your goals are:

- What level of income are you looking for?
- Part-time/full-time?
- How much time can you invest each week?
- What skills do you need to learn? 

- How will you learn them? And how long will it take you?
- Is a financial investment required? If so how much and how will you generate that start-up fund?
- Lay out a timeline. Don’t worry if you aren’t sure, just try your best and put something on paper. You can always adjust along the way. Your progress will be very different when you know exactly where you are going and how you plan to get there, rather than just starting
“Somewhere” and hoping it will “somehow” happen.
It won’t!

Keep reviewing that plan each week and make adjustments.

Set reasonable expectations in the beginning and work out a clear action plan on how you can meet those expectations.

For example: if you are aiming for an extra $1000 per month, figure out how many hours of freelance work you will have to perform per month, or how many products you would have to sell each month to reach that number.


Then, break it down per day and you will have a much clearer path to reaching your goal.


Let’s say you want to start a freelance business as a Virtual Assistant.

You do your research and learn everything you possibly can about what it takes to become successful in that field. If you did your homework, you will know what a reasonable starter rate will be.

Let’s choose $25/hour for this example.
If you want to make an extra $1000 per month, you would need to get at least 40 hours worth of paid VA time to reach that number (and that is not including taxes).

40 hours per month would be 10 hours per week => 2 hours per day.

Suddenly, it doesn’t seem so impossible anymore, right….?


From your research - and training - you would also have a good idea of how you can acquire enough clients and gigs to get those 40 hours per month and from there, you can structure a suitable marketing campaign for your freelance business.

See how this is very different from just putting up a listing on Upwork and hoping that somehow you will make a few extra bucks?


A successful business starts with:

1) Thorough research to find a profitable sub-niche and understand who your audience is.

2) Next, a detailed action plan - and finally:

3) Taking action!

Learn from the Best

If you want to greatly speed up the process, learn from an entrepreneur in your field who has been very successful. That’s the shortcut!

Rather than re-inventing the wheel, trying things that won’t work, and spending months and years finding a way that works, simply follow the lead of someone who has already figured it all out.


In other words, invest in good training!
In several cases, I’m linking to excellent courses and training resources - all run by successful entrepreneurs, not theorists.

Most of these courses are very inexpensive, but will make your progress so much easier!

Plus, you can ask questions and usually join a community (Facebook group, etc.) of fellow newbie entrepreneurs for mutual support and
networking.

So whenever there is a link to a Business idea, check it out for further training.

Branding

The planning and research phase also includes finding a profitable sub-niche and narrowing down your specific audience.

You will have much greater success in a very specialized sub-niche that you master. Where you eventually become the go-to person for that niche - rather than being a jack of all trades.


People love to hire specialists - and buy specialty products - so spend time researching that part thoroughly.
It will be one of the most important decisions in your business and will have a great influence on your success. Research online and find out what areas are already over-saturated vs.

areas that pose a great need. Pick those sub-niches and specialize there. Just make sure there is enough interest (=potential customers and clients).


The same goes for products. Rather than having a cat store on Spotify, offer something very specific within the cat niche. Maybe just cat necklaces and ornaments. Or Cat merchandise for a specific breed. For dogs, pugs are a big, successful sub-niche, just as an example.


This research might take a few days or even a week - but it will make a tremendous difference in your long-term success, so really spend time on this and remain flexible along the way. You may have to adjust or fine-tune (and that’s part of the fun of being an entrepreneur…;-)

Your Ideal Customer

Once you find your sub-niche, define your ideal customer/client.
Write out a “bio” of the most typical prototype in your audience.
From your prior research, you should have a pretty good idea who your audience is, but now clearly define and write it down.

Demographics, age group, gender, financial and professional background, etc.


Once you have defined your specific “avatar”, tailor your marketing to that person. Really “speak” to them.


Again I am using the word “specific” as that is one of the most important ingredients for entrepreneurial success.

Define your UVP (= “Unique Value Proposition”)


This is another important piece in your business plan.
What is it that makes your service or product unique?
Why should people come to you, instead of the millions of others with similar propositions?
Define this from the standpoint of the buyer/client. What’s in it for them? The more specific and convincing you can answer that question, the more successful you will be.


Your buyers/clients are not interested in a list of features - e.g., in your product/service, but only in what it does for them. How it improves their lives and solves their problems and frustrations.


How will their lives be different if they buy your products or use your service? Focus on them - and what benefits you can provide to them - and then over-deliver!

Run a Referral Business

For freelancing, you could also outsource most of the work and run a referral service, instead of being the hamster in the wheel. You land the gigs, then pass them on to other freelancers at a slightly lesser rate and everybody wins.
You still supervise and approve the final results, and you are the main contact for the client, but you don’t do the work. Instead, you focus on marketing and landing ever more gigs, constantly increasing your earnings while working less.

Separate yourself from the Crowd

Here are 5 strategies that can jump-start your business and greatly increase your reach and audience. Pick at least one of them and build a following. It will make a huge difference in your business.

I mention these strategies again in the “Skills” chapters because they can all become viable, stand-alone businesses on their own that you can build around your skills and expertise. Most successful entrepreneurs combine several of these platforms, but start with one to help your business grow a lot more quickly:

1 - Write a Bestselling Kindle Book on your Topic

A great way to build authority in your niche and create a passive income stream on the side is Kindle Publishing. As a 9-time 1 Bestselling author, I speak from experience when I say that Kindle Publishing is one of the fastest, most effective marketing strategies I have ever seen!
Being a published author - and possibly a bestselling author - will give you instant credibility and prestige and separate you from the crowd. If you use Amazon’s Kindle Publishing option, you can also generate a constant stream of potential clients and customers - pretty much on auto-pilot.

Amazon basically “pays” you (in royalties) to build a customer list!

You do not need a traditional publisher, have a large following, or be an experienced author. You can have your first 1 Bestseller in just 30 days from today - if you apply yourself!

2 - Build a successful Youtube Channel

Youtube is a search engine -, the 2nd most popular search engine after Google - and Youtube videos show up in Google searches when people try to find products or professional services. If you know how to rank and build a solid following on Youtube, you can enjoy the following 3 massive benefits:

1) - Have potential customers and clients find you through Google searches. No need to pay for ads, just learn how to rank and get new leads on auto-pilot.

2) - Establish yourself as an expert in your field 

3) - Create additional passive income through the many monetizing options Youtube presents.


For in-depth training and potentially turning Youtube into a full-time career, this is a brand new course by one of the top Youtube influencers with a 6-figure following:

How to Turn Youtube into Your Career

3 - Create Online Courses

Another great strategy is to build authority, attract potential clients and customers - and - build a nice passive income stream for years to come. That is - if you master marketing!

4 - Become an Influential Blogger

Whatever business you run, you should have a website that includes a blog, also for Google ranking purposes.

Parts 1 and 2 of my Internet Marketing book series teach you:

How to set up a Blog or Website GET it FREE HERE!
How to Grow an Audience for your new Blog
And speaking of ranking - you should have at least a basic understanding of SEO (the techniques that help sites rank on page 1 in Google).
This will give you an easy-to-understand introduction to the first important steps you can take right now.

FYI - if you haven't already be sure to get access to the FREE Video
Course while it lasts (usually $97):

- in just a few hours
even if you weren't born with a tech gene!

5 - Become a Podcaster

Similar to Youtubing and also with a great set of monetizing options. This
free course by two of the top podcasters on the internet with a monthly 6figure income will get you started:

Build a 6-figure Podcast

Build your Tribe

Joining a community of fellow entrepreneurs in your field will greatly help you grow, find advice - and get through the difficult and frustrating times we all occasionally face along the way.

Most of all, you get to network and partner, which can make a huge
difference in your business growth. Don’t try to go it alone. You will be much more successful when you build a “tribe” of like-minded people. Entrepreneurs like you - who “get” you and what you are doing - and strive with you to reach your goals.
Here are a few I can recommend:

Licenses, Trademarks, and Business Set up

If you run a physical business, be sure to check the required licenses and permits. A simple Google search should tell you what you need or ask your local Small Business Administration.

When choosing business and product names, be sure not to violate any copyright and trademark laws. You can check online or have LegalZoom run a professional search for you if you aren’t sure.
They can also help you set up a corporate business structure, like an
LLC to protect yourself - and your assets - from lawsuits and financial claims, once you start generating a steady income from your business.

Marketing

No matter what business you choose to run, whether freelancing or selling a product, whether online or offline, you will need to actively and effectively market your business. Otherwise, you might as well not start at all.


This is where most startups fail and marketing is also an area that most
people are extremely uncomfortable with or even scared of.

No need for that….;-)


It’s easier than you think. You just have to learn how, and then apply
consistently.

Knowing these techniques will put you way ahead of the game and allow you to make your goals a reality.

We already mentioned the importance of having a website and the marketing strategy called “SEO” = “Search Engine Optimization”.

We also mentioned Youtube and Kindle Publishing as quick and highly
effective ways to attract customers and clients.

Social Media Marketing

(beyond Youtube) is another very important area. Pinterest in particular, is well suited to market products.

Customers can buy directly from Pinterest, and Shopify offers integration with Pinterest.
If you have products in beauty, fashion, arts & crafts, photography, etc., definitely check out this amazing platform. This is a good course on how to build a profitable Pinterest page.

If you choose one of the eCommerce platforms like Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, or eBay, there will be an additional set of marketing skills to learn, specific to these platforms. Don’t worry, it’s not complicated, but most people never bother to learn and then get frustrated when they have no sales.

Knowledge is Power

This eternal truth very much applies to entrepreneurship and starting a
business. It’s about working smart vs. working endless hours fighting windmills and getting nowhere.


This will give you a huge amount of ideas and basic resources on where to go from here. From there, it’s up to you to get proper training and take it to the next level.

Are you ready?

Then let's begin:

Skills

TheSome business ideas fit into several skill categories and will be mentioned in each as most readers won’t read the entire list, but rather focus on their areas of interest.

 same goes for the aforementioned platforms:

- Kindle Publishing
- Youtube
- Course Creation
- eCommerce
- Podcasting

While it might seem repetitive at times, these platforms combined with a specific skill or expertise each form a separate business option and most people never consider them - or think they are much too complicated to start. Not something they could ever do.

They aren’t, however, you just need someone to show you how. I already
mentioned the courses I recommend, and the links will be included again throughout the post.

Photo & Video

Specialize in a photography or videography niche and specifically “target” that potential clientele, rather than just being one of the millions of general photographers.

Become the “Go-to” person for that niche that everyone recommends,
because you are the best.

Try to form long-term partnerships that will lead to many repeats
engagements and ask for referrals.


The following are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing:
453 - Children Portraits Photographer
Connect with local schools and daycare centers - also sports teams
454 - Pet Portraits Photographer
Leave flyers with beautiful photos at local pet stores, vet offices, pet
groomers, dog walkers, and shelters
455 - Wedding Photographer
Build long-term partnerships with wedding planners and churches, also catering companies
456 - Sports Events Photographer
You could become an official photographer for an amateur sports team (incl. children’s teams…..)
457 - Garden, Floral & Landscaping Photographer
458 - Real Estate Photographer
In particular, houses for sale need stunning interior & exterior shots. Form partnerships with local realtors and rental properties. Attend real estate investor meetings and share your flyers.
459 - Music Events
Amateur choirs, orchestras, and bands often look for a professional
photographer. Again, build long-term partnerships and ask for
recommendations.
460 - Musician Portraits
Musicians always need attractive portraits and are used to paying top
dollar for them. Connect with local professionals and music schools.
461 - Actor Headshots
If you live in a region with an active film industry, this can be a very
lucrative niche with very specific requirements
462 - Professional Portraits
Anyone going to a job interview needs a top-notch headshot. Another
great niche to focus on. Connect with local job agencies.
463 - Corporate Portraits
Again, form long-term partnerships and ask for referrals.

468 - Create and sell Calendars with your Photos
469 - Create and sell Greeting Cards with your Photos

- Stockxpert
- Fotolia
- Crestock
- Dreamstime
- Alamy

- 123RF
- Corbis

472 - Instagram or Pinterest Business
If you can generate a large following in either, magazines and publishers
will start taking notice and offer you gigs. Plus you can market to your
audience (photos/videos, calendars, greeting cards, merchandise with your photos, etc.).
473 - Write Kindle Books on Photography (again, choose a sub-niche)

Reading

Want to turn your love of reading into a business? It’s possible, mostly online for this one:

This would be a membership service and could be run either locally or online. Online you will reach a lot more people (-> more membership earnings) and it can be fun to connect with people from all around the world. You would have to offer very specific benefits for people to be willing to pay - and attract interested members. To get ideas and some guidance, check out some of the top book clubs in your country and join (a simple Google search will show them to you).

Pick a specific niche or run several clubs for different niches.

491 - Offer eBook Promos Build a large mailing list of interested readers who get daily emails from
you with offers of free or 99c books. Authors will happily pay a promo fee to have their books featured, especially during launches.

You will also earn Amazon commissions on any book sales generated through your emails.
