Unique small business opportunity & ideas
Some people operate a road side burger stall part time and make enough to cover some monthly bills. What other ways to earn some income? Here’s some small business opportunities that you may find unique from which to target the untapped niche market.
- Familiarize yourself with products on sale at shops which sell arts and crafts materials. Visit similar shops abroad to find a good product or products that are not on sale in this country. Start a business importing and distributing your chosen product.
- Produce an audio cassette course about how to use the telephone for business. Cover subjects such as telephone selling, dealing with inquiries and complaints, interviewing, etc. Sell by direct mail and classified ads.
- Sell mounted etchings by calling on private households and shopkeepers. Buy from the original artist or from a wholesaler.
- Run an international pop music pen pal club. Produce a quarterly publication which lists people looking for pen pals. Also boost your income by selling advertising space in your publication. Use small ads world-wide to recruit subscribers.
- Build up a sales round where you call on customers once every eight weeks, for example, to sell cheap or unusual household items. First call door-to-door to sell your products then keep a record of buyers and call back eight weeks later to sell other products of a similar nature.
