31 Online Business Opportunities You Can Start Now Also with Small Capital
While still in school and college, I know many friends who want to become entrepreneurs after finishing their education.
But now, finally become an office employee.
So I wonder ...
... of the many people who aspire to become entrepreneurs, why only a few who eventually have a business.
Even from the survey I conducted a few months ago, there were 81% of employees who had once aspired to become entrepreneurs.
81 percent!
After further investigation, there are 3 main reasons:
First, do not know what business opportunities are more profitable and more stable / secure than office work.
Secondly, there is no capital or only a small capital.
This is what happens most often. They think that all businesses need a lot of capital, eventually they decide to work first while collecting capital.
From there, there arose 1 more reason.
And this is the most tragic.
Third, already work and have family.
Their burden is getting heavier because they have to take care of the family. If the job is abandoned, the risk is great. Worse yet, because busy working then they can not start a business.
For those of you who experience the above 3 problems, this article is the solution.
Here are 30 business opportunities that can be done online, not time-consuming, and can be started with a small capital.
And most importantly, the potential is huge.
Therefore, here are some that I recommend.
Selling online: if you already have a picture of what products you want to sell
Creating a blog: if you like to write or do not know want to run any business
Or simply scroll down to read all the business opportunities that exist one by one.
Many people are now selling 100% online.
By selling online, the process can be done from wherever as long as there is internet. Therefore, this business model is also good for you who have other busyness.
But usually the gaptek people are afraid first.
Yet not hard at all.
If you read this article at 9 am, at 3 o'clock this afternoon your online store is ready for sale. Serious.
You can use some of the following platforms:
There's 1 more problem ...
... where to get products to sell?
If you already have your own product, of course this is not a problem. But what about you who do not have, and have no plan to make the product?
Follow these steps:
Especially if you are still a beginner.
"I want to sell right away! Right now!"
This is the solution: Selling in the marketplace (aka online market).
If you already know what you want to sell and want to sell directly within the next 5 minutes. This is the most appropriate solution for you.
Especially because in the marketplace is crowded, so you can directly get a buyer.
There's more, selling in the marketplace is free.
Selling in the online market can start in minutes and at no cost
But there are disadvantages:
You are selling on someone else's website, so there are many limitations. In addition, you can not build your own brand because it depends on the marketplace website.
Then how?
The middle way ... when you just start doing business, take advantage of the marketplace to get buyers & earnings. After a while, create your own website and invite potential buyers in the marketplace to visit your own website.
Here's a big marketplace that you can use:
When someone orders a product from you, you apply the order to a third party (supplier). They are the ones who directly deliver the goods to the buyer.
You do not need to keep the goods.
The suppliers usually send on their behalf, but sometimes there are also who want to send on behalf of your business.
Sounds good huh?
By becoming a dropshipper, you have no cost risk in selling
There are indeed advantages of being a dropshipper such as:
Its dropship product can be found through:
Watch Out…
... even if you are ordering products on a third party but by being a dropshipper the customer's responsibility is yours.
Tips: buy first some of its products before starting to sell, so you yourself know the quality.
Why are people willing to write good articles, then published publicly on the blog?
Because they earn money from advertising.
This is the most popular business opportunity among those who love to write and share knowledge.
How it works like this:
We create a website> display ad code> ads appear automatically> visitors click on ads> we get a commission.
Not difficult right?
Just copy-paste the ads, then the ads will appear automatically. Every time someone clicks, then we earn revenue.
So this business model became very popular.
All you have to do is:
Create quality content
Fishing others to visit your website and read the content
To be a successful ad publisher, you MUST have quality content. Google will not accept websites with low quality.
The process looks like this:
We promote / recommend other people's products, then when someone buys on the recommendation then we will get a commission.
The difference with dropshipping, we only promote ... not sell. The buyer will get in touch with the seller, not you.
Approximately the plot is like this picture.
Just like being an ad publisher, you also need a website as a medium to promote affiliate products.
But there are advantages ...
... commission per click advertising is much smaller than the commission on product sales.
So with the same number of visitors, you can earn more with an affiliate business model.
There are also disadvantages.
Until now there is no Indonesian affiliate products that can be guaranteed to provide a fixed income. The products are there, but the quality is lower and the purchasing power of Indonesian people is smaller.
Therefore, you must create a website in English.
(…Yes, of course).
That is, this product is a book, ebook, video, or audio.
For example fitness video products that contain guidance movements in the exercise, or ebook how to lose weight.
Product information is much easier to make than a physical product, then you are not experienced at all can make.
"Does anyone want to buy information that is already available for free on the internet?"
…there is!
Many people are willing to spend some money to buy products containing information. There are two reasons.
First, because the content is more profound than just an article on the blog.
Secondly, because the guides are more structured. From A to B to C to Z.
Not everyone has time to read and dig information from the many websites on the internet.
That's why information products are becoming popular.
To create the product:
Find your area of expertise. You will not be able to create a quality product without adequate knowledge
Find out what the biggest problems people in the field Make the solution in the form of ebook, video, or audio
It's not difficult right.
Creating & selling information products is not difficult and is one of the best business models
If you are an expert on a topic, it is not difficult to make the product. The biggest challenge is to sell your product.
The problem is this:
No one wants to buy guides from people who do not have a reputation. "Who are you, why should I trust your information?"
That's why most of the information product sellers have blogs.
Here are some places to sell information products:
In the marketplace (like # 2)
Use Flatten or Jualio for Indonesian products.
Both are still relatively new, so maybe the website is still less convenient to use.
Meanwhile, if you sell overseas, use Gumroad or Clickbank.
Selling on your own website is much better if you already have a reputation and a quality product because selling in the market / marketplace means your product is mixed with other products of low quality.
... the important thing is you have something to teach.
Currently, both overseas and in Indonesia online courses are very popular. This is because the process is easier and with online courses you can get more students.
In an offline course, the teacher usually repeats the material every time teaching a new class. But because this is online, so the course can be recorded and placed on the website.
... same with informa products?
It is similar.
Therefore the way to start the same with information products.
But there is little difference:
As a provider of graphic design services, your job opportunities are not limited territory.
You can get clients from overseas though.
Oh yes, most of the service providers in the websites above are also beginners ... so you do not have to fear if not too adept in the design.
Stock is a kind of customizable and ready-made templates.
For example Photoshop or Illustrator templates, presentation templates, logo templates, or icons.
When someone buys your stock, then he can use his design for any purpose.
Here are some places to sell:
The thing is, I can not take my own photos.
Hire photographer is also expensive.
The solution is to buy a royalty-free photo license.
A royalty-free photo is a photo we can use for any purpose after one license.
Just like graphic design stock, but photos.
Quality photographs from professional photographers like this are much needed by website owners and creators as in the example above.
That's why this business opportunity is very interesting for you who like photography.
Passive income business opportunity for photographers: selling royalty-free photos
Example of a place selling royalty-free photos:
Although not often heard, but some are buying photos from the iPhone camera.
There are free plugins and themes, some are paid ...
... not everyone is happy with free plugins and templates.
Therefore many people are selling both at a high enough price on the following sites:
Plugin: CodeCanyonTemplate: ThemeForest
Both are under a company called Envato, just like GraphicRiver mentioned above.
In just one week the most popular template in ThemeForest sold nearly 1,500 copies.
Because it costs $ 58, then their earnings in a week is $ 84,564.
It shows how big your market and your chances are.
Not everyone is able to create quality articles.
By seeing the number of people who make blogs to earn money from advertising, the authors of the article also participate splashed fortune.
There are 2 levels in the field of article writers.
Lower levels, those who sell cheap (apologetic) articles that only pursue a certain number of words. This is because they are paid every few hundred words.
But there is also a high pay.
High level article writers who write articles for big websites and news portals. They are paid for the quality.
Surely the second one is better.
For that, you must know the technique of writing the right article.
Here's where to get job writing articles:
That is, their job is to influence others to do what we want through writing.
The work of a copywriter is:
The income of a novice copywriter is about $ 52000 to $ 62,000 per year. Multiply over regular content writers.
But to become a copywriter, you have to learn special copywriting skills.
89% of startup businesses use content marketing.
71% of those who did not perform content marketing reasoned because they did not have time to create content.
... and 0% answered because they do not know the ROI.
What does it mean?
Content marketing is recognized as the best online marketing method, those who do not do this method because there is no time or can not afford.
Then the business opportunity as a creator is still wide open.
Those who do not use content marketing actually want to use content marketing but there is no time and human resources.
You can simplify their efforts.
Although non-professional translators do not earn a high salary, it is perfect for a time-consuming side business.
You can sell translator services here:
Anyone ... unconditionally.
Provided you can write a book.
With KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) from Amazon.
Topics of the book you write can be in any category, fiction or non-fiction.
A simple book usually has a length of 5000 words and sells for $ 2.99. For each sale, we will get a royalty of 35% or $ 1.05 for that price.
But what if we can not write an English book?
Publish in Book Nulis.
With Nulis Buku you can submit a script and publish a book to be printed every time there is an order.
So this business model is not at risk, just capital writing.
The work of a virtual assistant may include or one of:
By becoming a graphic design service provider, you are paid per project. While the virtual assistant usually works with 1 person for repetitive work.
VA with freelancer status in UpWork (formerly oDesk) gets paid from $ 10 to over $ 50 per hour. Depends also from the specialization.
If you do not have a blog may not be aware about this business opportunity.
Direct consultation, let alone private, is the type of service that is able to earn the highest income for each session.
So if you do not have a blog, immediately make in accordance with your expertise and see the results.
Generally the payments are in the form of monthly or annual subscriptions.
Making it also not difficult,
A WordPress blog plus plugins alone is enough to earn up to hundreds of thousands of dollars per year of membership.
2 alternative plugins:
First, for example like SmartInsights that provides content that is accessible only to paid members with prices starting at $ 59 / month.
Non-members can only open some content.
Secondly, with models like WPSites that open all access to WordPress tutorials for free but by purchasing a paid membership for $ 37 / month they can do a direct questioning.
The third example of the StackThatMoney premium forum.
The site is a community that can only be accessed by members who have paid for $ 99 / month. In addition to tutorial content, they can also discuss with others.
Those are 3 examples of successful premium membership websites.
But we do not always have to start from a big project.
If you want to make a web development business as a side, start from some websites for freelancers such as:
UpWorkProjects.co.id
In the two websites above there are many job creation website from small size with budget below 1 million to big with budget more than 100 million.
Do not want to sell services? There is an alternative ..
You who have programming skills can make their own software then sell it as a product or service.
The SaaS business model (Software as a Service) is one of the most developed today.
SaaS is generally web-based software where users pay with subscription / subscription model.
For example Slack is a chat service or communication with team work.
Slack is the fastest growing startup now, its valuation in 2015 reaches $ 2.8 trillion when it was officially launched in 2014.
Uniquely, Slack started from a side business that was initially not too taken seriously by its founder.
It all started with an idea.
Just as above, you can also create a SaaS-based mobile app.
Or .. you can also make games.
The difference, you who do not have skill programming can also make games or mobile applications small.
How to buy template / source code from an application.
We just change the text and the design.
This process is called reskinning.
The market for buying and selling source code for mobile apps is Chupamobile. In this place you can find thousands of ready-to-edit and ready-to-publish applications at an average price of $ 99.
Too expensive?
Although the choice is more limited, but there can also buy source code on CodeCanyon with an average price of $ 20.
With ~ $ 20 for the source code and $ 25 for Google Play accounts, you can already create a game similar to Flappy Bird (and other games) yourself.
This game you can fit ads from AdMob to earn revenue.
Maybe you still remember clearly the phenomenon of simple games like Flappy Bird this. In its heyday, Flappy Bird earns $ 10,000 per day from AdMob ads.
In order to get traffic from search engines, their website must be optimized.
One of them with SEO techniques.
Because online business is growing rapidly and businesspeople do not have time to learn SEO, so SEO service providers become indispensable.
But searching for a reliable SEO service is not easy.
Most SEO service providers now only sell backlinks obtained from black hat methods that are dangerous. Not good for business.
What should be provided by SEO services are:
Also similar to SEO, very rarely social media marketing services are professional.
The work of social media marketers is:
In just 5 years of online advertising spending has gone beyond traditional advertising and is projected to soon overtake TV commercials.
The reason is because online advertising is more effective, cheaper, and scalable.
But the problem is online advertising requires a further learning process than traditional advertising. Therefore, many SMEs in Indonesia today are not yet able to use online advertising.
Although wanted.
So this business opportunity appears.
In creating online ads, we need to prepare ad text, images and / or videos. In addition to maximizing performance we also have to perform various testing and data processing.
So there are 3 functions you need to prepare:
Services or services that previously had nothing to do with the internet can now be integrated with the internet.
Here are some examples:
There is also an online "offline online" business model that currently does not exist in Indonesia but is popular overseas.
Some online "offline online" business models may be your inspiration:
In conjunction with an online business, the domain is like a business location on an offline business. Because the location determines the achievement, the better the name will get better.
Good domain names can be priced from $ 500 to $ 100000 or more.
Interesting right?
In August 2014 we get 1 new domain extension that is .id for Indonesia.
Many are vying to get a strategic domain name.
Because not many have used this domain, your chances of getting good names are still wide open.
A video viewed on YouTube 23,000 times earns $ 395.
One of the most successful YouTubers with subscriber, Piewdiepie, in 2013 earned $ 4 million a year. Crazy.
There are 2 types of ads on YouTube:
Who earn commissions on every click Who gets a commission every time it goes
From this ad, YouTube takes 45% and the rest is given to the video owner.
If you can make a video, this could be an opportunity to earn a remarkable income.
Some popular types of popular videos on YouTube are easy to make, usually funny videos, tutorial video recording, or tutorial recording on a computer screen.
The main problem of people trying to earn from YouTube is copyright. So you should not upload videos that can be problematic.
For example other people's work, TV recording, music, and so on.
Ease again, the designer does not need to bother printing and sending his shirt. All they need to do is market their designs online.
More relaxed than usual t-shirts, right?
If the shirt they get a profit of $ 5 only, meaning that within a day they earn $ 905 or about Rp 10 million.
You can also do this yourself in Teespring.
Teespring is a crowdfunding site where we can create or upload t-shirt designs, then we do marketing.
When the target is reached then the Teespring itself will print and send his shirt.
There are 2 disadvantages:
First, we can only market to Americans only. Although Teespring can send abroad, but the cost of shirts so expensive.
But with online marketing we can actually offer this shirt to anywhere.
If you want to sell to Indonesian people, try using this Tees.co.id.
The system in Tees is slightly different.
The price per T-shirt in Tees is Rp 120.000, you can sell the unit but you have to sell above the price before to get profit margin.
Secondly, you must meet the pre-determined target.
Otherwise, then the sale is canceled.
Suppose we set a target of 25 shirts (the higher, the lower the price per shirt), if not to 25 buyers then the shirts will not be printed and we are not paid.
So do not set targets too high to be safe.
Like a hotel or inn but enough with a room or a house.
The picture above are some examples of people in Surabaya who rent out their rooms and homes for $ 100 to $ 200 / night.
And their average earnings in 2 weeks are:
The amount is fairly good especially since we do not need to do any marketing.
Every woman once a month or once a month buy self beauty products, perfume, skin care, and so on. Men are the same, though less often.
For busy people, monthly shopping like this is a hassle.
What if someone sells a set of products that you need this, delivered directly to your home without you need to go out?
This is what BirchBox does.
With a subscription, every month you will be sent a different product in the category was automatically.
This business model is so popular that many imitate, here are some of them:
When viewed the product, not always the products that become human needs. There is also to just "fun" like candy, there is also for the enthusiastic circle of something like gamers.
Most of them even accept orders from abroad.
Though actually not difficult, because we only collect products in a category and then sold all at once in a box.
In Indonesia alone there are many products that we can make in this model. For example coffee, snacks, etc.
Most importantly, the product must be "out" in a matter of weeks or days. So they can subscribe.
The reason is because the process is very easy.
It can also be done even if you are not an American.
Like this stage:
Find products from Alibaba.com for sale
Submit to Amazon's "warehouse"
Register the product for sale on Amazon
Done
The rest of Amazon are taking care of it.
Those who will send the product if there are people who order.
Much like the dropshipping we've discussed above. The difference is, this Amazon ... the largest online store in the world.
We hardly need any promotion.
It can still be simplified ...
We can order the product from supplier in China through Alibaba.com. So this supplier who will later send to Amazon.
Your job is just a liaison.
Here are some success stories from people who have tried FBA:
Spencer Haws earned $ 40,639 in 30 days with FBA
Kyle Taylor earns $ 10,000 in 2 months
Greg Mercer is number 1 for a product category in Amazon
Some of them you can start as a side job, but over time can also be the main business that produces.
Anything interest you?
Got another business idea?
Please leave a comment on the business idea you want to live or the business you are enjoying.

11. Sell WordPress plugins & templates
There are 74,652,825 (!) WordPress-based sites, and there are 29,000 WordPress plugins growing every day (ManageWP, 2014).There are free plugins and themes, some are paid ...
... not everyone is happy with free plugins and templates.
Therefore many people are selling both at a high enough price on the following sites:
Plugin: CodeCanyonTemplate: ThemeForest
Both are under a company called Envato, just like GraphicRiver mentioned above.
In just one week the most popular template in ThemeForest sold nearly 1,500 copies.
Because it costs $ 58, then their earnings in a week is $ 84,564.
It shows how big your market and your chances are.
12. Become a freelance article writer
In the 4th opportunity above about ad publisher, I mentioned that we need quality content. One of them is article.Not everyone is able to create quality articles.
By seeing the number of people who make blogs to earn money from advertising, the authors of the article also participate splashed fortune.
There are 2 levels in the field of article writers.
Lower levels, those who sell cheap (apologetic) articles that only pursue a certain number of words. This is because they are paid every few hundred words.
But there is also a high pay.
High level article writers who write articles for big websites and news portals. They are paid for the quality.
Surely the second one is better.
For that, you must know the technique of writing the right article.
Here's where to get job writing articles:
- Sribulancer
- UpWork (international)
- TextBroker (international)
13. Become a word wizard, copywriter
Copywriters are people who bewitch the reader.That is, their job is to influence others to do what we want through writing.
The work of a copywriter is:
- Write text in ads
- Write text on a landing page or sales page
- Write all the text that aims to seduce someone else
The income of a novice copywriter is about $ 52000 to $ 62,000 per year. Multiply over regular content writers.
But to become a copywriter, you have to learn special copywriting skills.
14. Build articles & content creation agencies
Based on a survey from WPCurve:89% of startup businesses use content marketing.
71% of those who did not perform content marketing reasoned because they did not have time to create content.
... and 0% answered because they do not know the ROI.
What does it mean?
Content marketing is recognized as the best online marketing method, those who do not do this method because there is no time or can not afford.
Then the business opportunity as a creator is still wide open.
Those who do not use content marketing actually want to use content marketing but there is no time and human resources.
You can simplify their efforts.
15. Translator
Still in writing, the language translator is one of the most needed jobs.Although non-professional translators do not earn a high salary, it is perfect for a time-consuming side business.
You can sell translator services here:
- Fiverr
- Sribulancer
- OneHourTranslation
16. Write and publish ebook (or original book)
Although the ebook was already discussed in the information product, but the meaning here is slightly different. In addition to selling itself, we can also publish the ebook officially.Anyone ... unconditionally.
Provided you can write a book.
With KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) from Amazon.
Topics of the book you write can be in any category, fiction or non-fiction.
A simple book usually has a length of 5000 words and sells for $ 2.99. For each sale, we will get a royalty of 35% or $ 1.05 for that price.
But what if we can not write an English book?
Publish in Book Nulis.
With Nulis Buku you can submit a script and publish a book to be printed every time there is an order.
So this business model is not at risk, just capital writing.
17. Become a virtual assistant
Virtual assistant itself is a term that is still widespread.The work of a virtual assistant may include or one of:
- Author
- Graphic design
- Research
- Editing
- Copywriting
- Social media management
- Translation
- Programming
- Input data and others.
By becoming a graphic design service provider, you are paid per project. While the virtual assistant usually works with 1 person for repetitive work.
VA with freelancer status in UpWork (formerly oDesk) gets paid from $ 10 to over $ 50 per hour. Depends also from the specialization.
18. Training or consultation
By having a popular blog, you can sell your services in the form of training or personal consultation.If you do not have a blog may not be aware about this business opportunity.
Direct consultation, let alone private, is the type of service that is able to earn the highest income for each session.
So if you do not have a blog, immediately make in accordance with your expertise and see the results.
19. Create a website with premium membership
Creating a membership website means we provide premium content that can only be accessed when someone has paid to become a member.Generally the payments are in the form of monthly or annual subscriptions.
Making it also not difficult,
A WordPress blog plus plugins alone is enough to earn up to hundreds of thousands of dollars per year of membership.
2 alternative plugins:
- WishList Member (paid)
- S2Member (free)
First, for example like SmartInsights that provides content that is accessible only to paid members with prices starting at $ 59 / month.
Non-members can only open some content.
Secondly, with models like WPSites that open all access to WordPress tutorials for free but by purchasing a paid membership for $ 37 / month they can do a direct questioning.
The third example of the StackThatMoney premium forum.
The site is a community that can only be accessed by members who have paid for $ 99 / month. In addition to tutorial content, they can also discuss with others.
Those are 3 examples of successful premium membership websites.
20. Become a web development service provider
Just like the above graphic design discussions, by becoming a professional web developer you can also earn above average earnings.But we do not always have to start from a big project.
If you want to make a web development business as a side, start from some websites for freelancers such as:
UpWorkProjects.co.id
In the two websites above there are many job creation website from small size with budget below 1 million to big with budget more than 100 million.
21. Create and sell software ... or become a software development services provider
Just like a business opportunity at number 20, being a software developer is also an opportunity that is currently hot.Do not want to sell services? There is an alternative ..
You who have programming skills can make their own software then sell it as a product or service.
The SaaS business model (Software as a Service) is one of the most developed today.
SaaS is generally web-based software where users pay with subscription / subscription model.
For example Slack is a chat service or communication with team work.
Slack is the fastest growing startup now, its valuation in 2015 reaches $ 2.8 trillion when it was officially launched in 2014.
Uniquely, Slack started from a side business that was initially not too taken seriously by its founder.
It all started with an idea.
22. ... Or create a mobile app
No less with the desktop, mobile applications also come hot. Even more than the desktop, so many developers who prioritize the mobile.Just as above, you can also create a SaaS-based mobile app.
Or .. you can also make games.
The difference, you who do not have skill programming can also make games or mobile applications small.
How to buy template / source code from an application.
We just change the text and the design.
This process is called reskinning.
The market for buying and selling source code for mobile apps is Chupamobile. In this place you can find thousands of ready-to-edit and ready-to-publish applications at an average price of $ 99.
Too expensive?
Although the choice is more limited, but there can also buy source code on CodeCanyon with an average price of $ 20.
With ~ $ 20 for the source code and $ 25 for Google Play accounts, you can already create a game similar to Flappy Bird (and other games) yourself.
This game you can fit ads from AdMob to earn revenue.
Maybe you still remember clearly the phenomenon of simple games like Flappy Bird this. In its heyday, Flappy Bird earns $ 10,000 per day from AdMob ads.
23. Easing their business by selling SEO services
Many people make online stores, many make SaaS, one of the factors of online business success is traffic and one way to get traffic is from search engines.In order to get traffic from search engines, their website must be optimized.
One of them with SEO techniques.
Because online business is growing rapidly and businesspeople do not have time to learn SEO, so SEO service providers become indispensable.
But searching for a reliable SEO service is not easy.
Most SEO service providers now only sell backlinks obtained from black hat methods that are dangerous. Not good for business.
What should be provided by SEO services are:
- Keyword and competitor research
- Content marketing (manufacture to distribution)
- Optimization of website structure
- Performing a backlink monitor
- Trying to lift a penalty from Google
- Analyze data from Google Analytics
23. Management services and social media marketing
Just as with SEO, because social media is also the best online marketing medium then such a service is needed.Also similar to SEO, very rarely social media marketing services are professional.
The work of social media marketers is:
- Build brand awareness
- Create and share content
- Interact with fans / follower
- Increase traffic to website through social media
24. Marketing management with digital advertising
Digital advertising, especially online ones, quickly goes beyond traditional advertising.In just 5 years of online advertising spending has gone beyond traditional advertising and is projected to soon overtake TV commercials.
The reason is because online advertising is more effective, cheaper, and scalable.
But the problem is online advertising requires a further learning process than traditional advertising. Therefore, many SMEs in Indonesia today are not yet able to use online advertising.
Although wanted.
So this business opportunity appears.
In creating online ads, we need to prepare ad text, images and / or videos. In addition to maximizing performance we also have to perform various testing and data processing.
So there are 3 functions you need to prepare:
- Copwriter
- Graphic designer
- Data scientist
25. Transform offline services / jobs into online
Not just services that are identical to technologies such as graphic design that can be successful.Services or services that previously had nothing to do with the internet can now be integrated with the internet.
Here are some examples:
- So a private tutor at RuangGuru.com
- Become a provider of (various) services at Seekmi.com
- Become a comic writer on Ngomik.com
- So the motorcycle taxi driver in Go-jek
- So seller pulsa, prepaid PLN, or water bill with Wobe.io
There is also an online "offline online" business model that currently does not exist in Indonesia but is popular overseas.
Some online "offline online" business models may be your inspiration:
- Lu.gg - home moving services
- MakeSpace - storage / storage services
- Shortcut - an online hair barber
- Laundromatch - online laundry service
26. Collector of domain names for sale at high prices
This is not a direct business opportunity, but more towards investment.In conjunction with an online business, the domain is like a business location on an offline business. Because the location determines the achievement, the better the name will get better.
Good domain names can be priced from $ 500 to $ 100000 or more.
Interesting right?
In August 2014 we get 1 new domain extension that is .id for Indonesia.
Many are vying to get a strategic domain name.
Because not many have used this domain, your chances of getting good names are still wide open.
27. Being YouTuber
Based on the figures in this picture:A video viewed on YouTube 23,000 times earns $ 395.
One of the most successful YouTubers with subscriber, Piewdiepie, in 2013 earned $ 4 million a year. Crazy.
There are 2 types of ads on YouTube:
Who earn commissions on every click Who gets a commission every time it goes
From this ad, YouTube takes 45% and the rest is given to the video owner.
If you can make a video, this could be an opportunity to earn a remarkable income.
Some popular types of popular videos on YouTube are easy to make, usually funny videos, tutorial video recording, or tutorial recording on a computer screen.
The main problem of people trying to earn from YouTube is copyright. So you should not upload videos that can be problematic.
For example other people's work, TV recording, music, and so on.
28. Sell (design) t-shirts without printing your own
Simple t-shirt design like this alone can be sold to more than 150 pieces in 1 day.Ease again, the designer does not need to bother printing and sending his shirt. All they need to do is market their designs online.
More relaxed than usual t-shirts, right?
If the shirt they get a profit of $ 5 only, meaning that within a day they earn $ 905 or about Rp 10 million.
You can also do this yourself in Teespring.
Teespring is a crowdfunding site where we can create or upload t-shirt designs, then we do marketing.
When the target is reached then the Teespring itself will print and send his shirt.
There are 2 disadvantages:
First, we can only market to Americans only. Although Teespring can send abroad, but the cost of shirts so expensive.
But with online marketing we can actually offer this shirt to anywhere.
If you want to sell to Indonesian people, try using this Tees.co.id.
The system in Tees is slightly different.
The price per T-shirt in Tees is Rp 120.000, you can sell the unit but you have to sell above the price before to get profit margin.
Secondly, you must meet the pre-determined target.
Otherwise, then the sale is canceled.
Suppose we set a target of 25 shirts (the higher, the lower the price per shirt), if not to 25 buyers then the shirts will not be printed and we are not paid.
So do not set targets too high to be safe.
29. Got an empty room? Rent with AirBnB
AirBnB is a site where we can rent empty rooms or houses to others (usually backpacker) for several days.Like a hotel or inn but enough with a room or a house.
The picture above are some examples of people in Surabaya who rent out their rooms and homes for $ 100 to $ 200 / night.
And their average earnings in 2 weeks are:
The amount is fairly good especially since we do not need to do any marketing.
30. Selling products with a subscription system
Try to imagine the following cases:Every woman once a month or once a month buy self beauty products, perfume, skin care, and so on. Men are the same, though less often.
For busy people, monthly shopping like this is a hassle.
What if someone sells a set of products that you need this, delivered directly to your home without you need to go out?
This is what BirchBox does.
With a subscription, every month you will be sent a different product in the category was automatically.
This business model is so popular that many imitate, here are some of them:
- Glassful - wine
- LootCrate - unique product for gamers
- Candy Club - candy
- Japan Crate - Japanese snack
- DollarShaveClub - razors
When viewed the product, not always the products that become human needs. There is also to just "fun" like candy, there is also for the enthusiastic circle of something like gamers.
Most of them even accept orders from abroad.
Though actually not difficult, because we only collect products in a category and then sold all at once in a box.
In Indonesia alone there are many products that we can make in this model. For example coffee, snacks, etc.
Most importantly, the product must be "out" in a matter of weeks or days. So they can subscribe.
31. Sell goods abroad from the front of the computer with Amazon FBA
FBA or Fullfilment by Amazon is an online business opportunity that is now being warm-warm.The reason is because the process is very easy.
It can also be done even if you are not an American.
Like this stage:
Find products from Alibaba.com for sale
Submit to Amazon's "warehouse"
Register the product for sale on Amazon
Done
The rest of Amazon are taking care of it.
Those who will send the product if there are people who order.
Much like the dropshipping we've discussed above. The difference is, this Amazon ... the largest online store in the world.
We hardly need any promotion.
It can still be simplified ...
We can order the product from supplier in China through Alibaba.com. So this supplier who will later send to Amazon.
Your job is just a liaison.
Here are some success stories from people who have tried FBA:
Spencer Haws earned $ 40,639 in 30 days with FBA
Kyle Taylor earns $ 10,000 in 2 months
Greg Mercer is number 1 for a product category in Amazon
