Small business ideas

1. Consultancy - Make Time into Money
   
   If you have time and mind, skill and ability to deliver but lacking on funds, you can start off with your “Consultancy Firm”. There is no harm in cashing your time into money. This goes back to the idea that you have enough knowledge in your head to sell it to someone. All you need to do is to have access to a cabin, a personal computer and here you go. Start earning by each hour. Go to businesses or to the people who you think might be in need of the knowledge you have to offer. If you are really good and have it in you to convince others, people will start seeking you out, your next move could be to get informative seminars arranged and that is how you can make money.
   
   You can start consulting people with any kind of knowledge that you have like, Financial advisory, Placement consultancy, Real estate consulting, Import-export consultancy, Parental advice, Marketing consulting etc.
   
2. Start Selling Online - Run Online Store
   
   If you have something that does not need a very big push to get sold, you can start selling it online.
   
   Run an online store if you have resources to sell. Products that are not perishable and are standardized and those that do not require any kind of customization can be sold online. eBay allows you to start an online store fronts by paying around Rs.1,000 and get eyes drawn to your products instantly through just signing up. This is the most economical and highly profitable way to start your own small business without any borrowing.
   
3. Write - Blogging
   
   Blogging, these days has grown tremendously. If you have writing abilities and can write about 1500-2000 words in a day, you can earn your livelihood easily. All you need is a talking head. Not everyone who blogs reaches to that level of success, actually few do. You can take examples of people like Shobhaa De, Amitabh Bachchan, Alok Mittal and many other renowned people from different backgrounds on. You can carve a niche for yourself in the blogging world and use it to make money. All you need is a wordpress website, handling which is no longer the rocket science.
   
4. Innovator not Follower
   
   Do something unique. Bring something novel. There would definitely be something lying in the dark, which needs your effort to get to the light of the day. If you have some experience you can really be big online. All you need is a big idea; big fishes like Facebook, Twitter and Mashable were all about mere ideas after all. The difference is that that they took the first move and rest is the history. So, try to be an innovator not solely a follower.
