Sergey Ivanisov is in touch again. I greet you with pleasure, friends. Our topic today is as timeless as the world, as interesting as the best Google search results pages, and as endless as the Internet itself. Let's talk about online business again. You know, no matter how many posts I write on this topic, I suspect that I am only touching on its top. How many opportunities to open your own business online exist now, and how many more will appear in the foreseeable future! Modern types of business on the Internet make it possible not only to exist comfortably – but to live to the fullest!

Having organized and promoted your own online business, get ready for the fact that those apartments, cars and resorts that just yesterday seemed unattainable to you will be acquired and mastered with ease. But also be prepared for the fact that your business is your unplowed field, where you need to work hard, and not someone else.

And, following my habit, I am obliged to warn you so that you do not confuse business on the Internet - although these are similar things, in reality they are completely different.

1. Profitable business on the Internet: how to find it, how to do it?

What can I recommend here? Search with your heart. A little, of course, focus on demand, but more on your inner voice and your own preferences. Profitable business on the Internet - any that you can promote. But how are you going to promote the topic of gardening, for example, if you can’t stand this business since childhood? If you have been turned off by it since those days when your parents sent you to the village to visit your grandmother every summer, to help hill potatoes and collect Colorado potato beetles on them. Yes, the days of parental dependence have passed, but the residue remains. Now you won’t be hilling anything, but you’ll have to write about it!

Therefore, choose a niche in which work will bring real pleasure, and not sad memories. Business requires a lot of work, sometimes even seven days a week, sometimes even 12 hours, but if the work brings pleasure and income, then who will count this time?

While you have not yet figured out how to do business on the Internet, let me give you a few examples - high-profile and very well-known examples. Notice how it all started.

2. Profitable business on the Internet: the beginning of the game

Do you think that Mark Zuckerberg, when inventing his Facebook, slept and saw how the resource brought him millions in income? Nothing like this. It is used as a toy, entertainment for friends. And look what a monster he has grown into now. Social networks are very profitable business in the Internet. Now you’re sitting and thinking: why am I a fool didn’t think of creating such a social network 15 years ago... Now I would also be a millionaire...

In the same way, the creator of VK Pavel Durov and the creator of the dating site Markus Frind did not think about multimillion-dollar turnover, or anything at all. This guy, Marcus, had absolutely no idea that you could make money on the Internet - he developed his website as a non-profit project, independently, long and persistently, using the information that he got here - on the Internet.

What am I getting at? Again, don’t focus only on earning money, otherwise you’ll see dollars in your eyes, like Uncle Scrooge. Put your soul into your project, then the financial return will be stunning.

Another example: having created his own online store, the founder of the now very popular eBay auction Pierre Omidyar offered us the first lot for sale, a broken (!) laser pointer. You can’t say anything here - the developer was immediately focused on income. But he, apparently, did not expect that the broken thing would be bought, and so quickly. The shocked seller, having completed the purchase, could not help but ask why the buyer needed a broken pointer. The answer was simple: “I collect such things.” Hence the second conclusion: for every product there is a buyer.

As you can see, all successful Internet businessmen started their business easily, like a game, and as a result they received millions in income from their projects.

3. Online business options

If a person feels the strength and desire to open his own business online, the first obstacle on his way may be such a banal obstacle as a lack of understanding of what kind of business to start on the Internet.

“Everything seems to be already taken, and if you come up with something new, it’s not a fact that the idea will be in demand.” - I gave a standard example of stereotypical thinking, which always hinders development, and fear, which most failed millionaires use to justify their inactivity. But each of us is a potential millionaire. And everyone can become real. You just need to want it and start acting.

Just watch this video clip, and then I think you will be surprised how easy it is sometimes to become a millionaire:

Under no circumstances should you be afraid to try at least all the options for doing business on the Internet: nothing that someone is already doing this, nothing that there are many similar proposals and ideas. In any case, you will bring something of your own to a not new hackneyed idea, and it will become the author’s, recognizable, original.

What ideas are popular and work great now (they also brought profit to their owners a year and five years ago, and will continue to do so in the future).

Here is a simple navigator for you through online business niches, choose your path:

3.1. Classic online earnings - website creation and promotion

It would seem that everything has already been said a thousand times about this type of business; there is nothing new to add. But if you have chosen this particular type of business, then it would not be out of place to repeat the common truths of successful webmasters several times: You see that the Internet ceases to be exclusively a method of communication, it turns into an ideal tool for generating income. Moreover, your own website is a great way , or almost from scratch - at the creation stage, the resource requires little investment.

Popular types For businesses, there are still “on-site” options: design, creation of banners, optimization and promotion of sites, filling with content.

By the way, many people consider content (articles and photos) to be income rather than business, since most copywriters and photographers “sit” on stock exchanges and work for cheap. To transform copywriting into the status of a real business, I advise you to organize a posting agency: remotely or in a standard way, recruit a staff of several authors, create (again!) your own website with a list of services and price list, and serve webmasters.

3.2. Online stores

Well, who doesn’t know them, who hasn’t at least once used the services of online sellers? This type of business is so widespread and popular that it makes sense to talk about how advisable it is to open your own online retail outlet now (during a crisis!).

I should note that the most successful projects are born precisely in times of crisis - financial difficulties force sellers to be creative, simply to “spin”, retaining customers, and if they’re lucky, attracting new ones.

But, before you show “merchant agility” and invent new marketing moves, think about the main thing: what will you trade. During times of crisis, people’s banknotes noticeably decrease and they begin to save, so immediately discard the idea of trading in luxury goods and focus on essential goods (clothing, children’s products) and food.

Online stock is one of the most popular and everlasting ideas: you buy high-quality imported clothes at the stock in kilograms, and sell them individually online.

Organic food products - become an intermediary between fans of non-GMO food and an ordinary farmer who grows such products, but has absolutely no time to deal with the intricacies of online trading. Either buy batches of products from him, package them beautifully and resell them, or refer buyers to him for a commission.

In a similar way, you can enter into a franchise agreement not with a little-known manufacturer, but with a well-known brand and promote its product in your region through yours. Internet business franchises, like offline ones, require the use of a trademark, but not ownership.

3.3. Trading

One of the new and yet unexplored areas of Internet business is trading in exchange-traded assets. Now there are rumors of earnings on binary options, in particular on . And although most ordinary people perceive this type of earnings as a lottery “lucky or unlucky,” or even an outright scam, people who know how to analyze a combination of factors (economic, political, international) and draw objective conclusions based on this, which do not allow them to act at random, earn a lot on options regularly.

But to become one of the successful traders, you need to carefully study all the intricacies of this matter. It's not easy, but the results are worth the effort.

3.4. Infobusiness

Only the lazy do not know about this type of business. But, nevertheless, for the vast majority it remains a mystery how you can earn big money using one of your skills. I’ll tell you, perhaps repeating myself once again.

The information business on the Internet is based on the unique way of one person to quickly and effectively solve some problems that most people have. For example, you write texts quickly and competently and earn a lot of money from it. At the same time, you have your own personal way of how to write and not get tired, not repeat hackneyed phrases, quickly find customers and reach a higher level of payment for your work.

Tens of thousands of potential or real, but less successful copywriters want to know this. Share your experience with them - create an inexpensive book or course - people will buy it. You will earn money.

There are still a very large number of types of businesses and ideas for business on the Internet. I already said this at the beginning. But what if you still want to know about even more options?

First, let me remind you that my blog is far from the only source with such information;
Secondly, you can pay attention to the section: “a catalog of my ideas for business on the Internet” (coming soon) - here I list the most interesting and promising options that I found or that came to my mind.

4. Advantages of Internet business

There is an opinion (and it is not unfounded) that Internet business is the business of the future. More and more experienced businessmen are transferring their business to an online format, significantly increasing their client bases and profits. Newbies in business also tend to come here - many of them get off to a very successful start.

But you shouldn’t make any plans for the future; let’s talk about what advantages Internet business provides today and now, and why it is so relevant among beginners who sometimes don’t have an extra penny to spare.

Some types of Internet activities do not require any financial investment at all. All you need is a computer and Internet access. By the way, I wrote more about these options in this article: “ “;
When running a business on the Internet, it is quite possible to earn decent money alone, without hiring staff;
A businessman working on the Internet is practically inaccessible to government agencies, and therefore independent. However, I note that you should not forget about paying taxes.

5. What kind of business am I in?

I want to say that if at the time of writing this article I had a capital of millions, so 100, or maybe 200 rubles, I would be involved in many areas of business. But, I was lucky, fate decreed that I start completely from scratch.

I created my website. Or to be more precise, a blog. Why a blog?

A blog can be created with minimal contributions (maximum 1000 rubles);
You can promote a blog yourself without any investment;
Super results can be achieved in 2-3 years (100-500 thousand rubles/month);
And most importantly, I am simply delighted with this type of activity.

I talked about the benefits of blogging in more detail in this article: “ “. Actually, this is all I have friends. I want each of you to successfully build your own business on the Internet. I'm sure most will succeed. Good luck to you!

Best regards, Sergey Ivanisov.

Money is where you need to think, not work

In this material:

When it comes to starting a business in Russia, many people are scared. Excuses alluding to corruption, bureaucracy and excessive government influence over entrepreneurs are very much in vogue. Entrepreneurs who have created successful businesses, on the contrary, call Russia, Moscow, St. Petersburg, the best place to create a business. If many have managed to create a business in Russia, it means that doing their own business is justified and profitable!

What business areas are relevant in Russia today?

Let's consider business ideas that will help both experienced and novice entrepreneurs realize their potential.

Service business

Business in the service sector captivates with its simplicity.

In Moscow alone there are more than a thousand different businesses that provide services rather than sell goods.

Salon . This is not a new, standard business that does not require any special sophistication. People always need to get their hair cut. To open your own hairdresser you will need premises, several hired employees and inexpensive equipment. A hairdressing salon is a very profitable business, as it does not require the purchase of expensive equipment and high salaries for staff.
Beauty saloon . If a person, and especially a woman, came to you with the goal of preening herself, then it is stupid to let her go without offering additional services. And on additional services you can earn a lot more. A haircut is ordered once every couple of months, but nails, eyebrows, and eyelashes have to be done every week or at least twice a month. You must have noticed that Soviet-style hair salons are gradually disappearing, replaced by numerous beauty salons. This is a logical development of the service with an expansion of the range of services provided.
Smartphone repair. Smartphones regularly break down - they fall, glass breaks, and operating system firmware is required. A smartphone repair service will be in great demand, especially if it is located at a crossroads or in a shopping center. All you need is a point, a master and inexpensive equipment.
Software development. According to statistical studies, Russians believe that being a programmer is better than being an entrepreneur. What is the demand from a programmer? No tax audits, no bureaucracy, he sits at a computer, writes code and receives a salary of more than one hundred thousand rubles. Everything is true, but such high salaries are formed due to the fact that development customers pay tens of times more. A small software development company spends several million rubles on salaries and earns several tens of millions a month.

Home business

The dream of many is a profitable small business at home.

A few ideas:

Production of some products is being established at home. This could be “handmade” products, weaving furniture from wicker, making slippers from flax, or preparing homemade baked goods. The main thing is to find a sales market. It’s worth doing advertising yourself; social networks are perfect for this; another option is to enter into an agreement with the nearest store or outlet.
It is not necessary to produce a product, the alternative is to provide a service. Just a few decades ago, it was difficult to imagine how to earn some money while sitting at home. This was the lot of composers and writers. Many Russians are engaged in copywriting, video editing, making videos for YouTube channels, and earn much more than they could earn in “real” life.
You can convert your apartment into an office and provide makeup, massage, or stylist services. For example, to work as a massage therapist, you will need to purchase a massage table and inexpensive oil for five thousand rubles. A half-hour massage session in Moscow brings in more than a thousand rubles. This business is good because every modern resident needs a massage. Clients are in in social networks, and among neighbors, just place an ad at the entrance to the entrance.

Internet business

Such is the peculiarity of the Russian person that he is not very attracted to home business, which involves the production of goods. I want to work on the Internet - look at the monitor, press keys on the keyboard, move the mouse and earn income.

Well, that's possible too. A few ideas for a person who does not have any skills and cannot boast of a higher education in the IT field:

Vkontakte community- great business. All you have to do is choose a specific niche, such as the psychology of interpersonal relationships, and publish updates regularly. You can earn up to one hundred thousand rubles a month and more. Complete anonymity is allowed: no one will know who owns the group and who makes money from it. The situation is similar with other social networks, but Facebook is not so popular in our country.
YouTube channel. It would seem that what is so difficult about filming your life on a video camera or smartphone and regularly posting these videos on the Internet? There is nothing complicated at all, and the numbers that students and even schoolchildren earn are simply amazing. A YouTube channel is obviously a profitable business. It does not require any investment and attracts your audience for free. If you create a channel in a commercial niche, you can monetize your audience by selling training to your subscribers or advertising to them products from an affiliate network, for which you will receive royalties.
Online store. Be that as it may, the biggest money is made online through sales. Entrepreneurs make money from the banal resale of Chinese goods purchased from wholesalers. The purchasing platforms are most often Aliexpress or Alibaba. It's easy to find anything on these sites. The markup on trinkets can be hundreds of percent.

The most popular business in Russia

Creating another online store or opening grocery store the ideas are good, but they won’t surprise anyone. It is good to create a business focusing on demand, because compliance with this principle guarantees demand, and where there is demand, there is money.

Russia traditionally lacks quality service. For example, travel agencies are a dime a dozen. They race to offer cheap tours to exotic countries, but the VIP tourism market is practically empty. In order to relax in the Maldives, clients have to book charter flights and use the services of foreign travel companies.

The situation is similar with car service. Not everyone wants to save money when replacing summer tires with winter ones. Speed of service and quality are important to many.

The investment niche is practically empty. Russians don't know where to invest their money. While Americans are actively investing in the stock market, thereby supporting their economy, Russians are purchasing apartments, inflating the national residential real estate market.

The niche of investing in precious metals is practically empty. In India, China, Germany, the USA, South Africa and other rich and poor countries, people buy physical gold. In our country this is almost impossible to do. If there are still instruments for sale (Sberbank branches), then selling a metal bar or gold coin is almost impossible.

It is possible to fill this market, but, of course, active cooperation with government agencies will be required.

There are more than a thousand cities in our country. Most residents would like to move far away; the alternative is to look at their provincial status from a different perspective.

Farming can become a very profitable and profitable business, especially if you position yourself as a manufacturer of organic, harmless products. This trend is popular in Western countries and is becoming more and more established here every year, however, it is almost impossible to buy homemade eggs or farm dairy products. Many suburban residents who live in private homes and engage in agriculture, really in great demand. They are even greeted from trains!
Pet breeding- a thoroughbred and highly profitable business that can be organized even in an ordinary city apartment. The offspring of some purebred dogs cost hundreds of thousands of rubles. Just imagine: the puppy has not yet been born, and you already have an order for its sale. There’s no need to even talk about profitability here, because the costs of organizing such a business are just animal feed.
Vending business. Have you noticed vending machines in retail chains where you can insert a bill into them and buy water, chips, a chocolate bar and other products? This is a vending machine. Such devices do not require expensive maintenance or security (as they are located inside protected facilities). There is also no need to spend money on advertising, because their very idea is to provide an additional service to those who have already come to a specific establishment with the goal of spending money.

Most cost effective

Before talking about profitability, it is necessary to understand the term. Profitability is usually understood as the efficiency of using resources or funds.

Options for profitable business in Russia:

Thrift store. Difficult economic conditions do not allow millions of Russians to throw away used household appliances or used items in the trash; they would not mind selling them. Social networks or message boards are used. But not everyone has the advertising skills to create an ad, and almost all message boards now require a fee for use. A consignment store is a great business that would connect sellers of used equipment and used items with buyers.
Selling healthy food to lovers of a healthy lifestyle. There is a trend in the world: more and more people are becoming vegetarians and vegans, and types of nutrition that no one had heard of a decade ago, for example, a raw food diet, are gaining momentum. You can open the production of yeast-free bread, buy from farmers or resell homemade dairy products, organize a delivery service drinking water. The demand for such services is still small, but businesses in this area are characterized by excessive customer attachment. If a buyer likes your flax seed bread, he will most likely become your regular customer, plus he will also bring friends.
Pharmacy . Statistics show that the number of sick people in our country is increasing every day. Pharmacy is not just a profitable, but also a highly profitable business. You can open your own outlet as a franchise and become a small unit of a large pharmaceutical family. A relevant business in times of depreciation of the national currency may be opening a pharmacy in a low price range.

Franchise business: pros and cons

Entrepreneurs, especially beginners, are often intimidated by a business plan and organizational issues. What can we say, the thought of the tax office makes you shiver! There is a way to avoid all these organizational issues - a franchise.

What is a franchise? Let's imagine you opened your private kindergarten. You have an original program, the kids like it, the parents are delighted. Time to open the second one. No sooner said than done. Then the third, fourth, and then in other cities. And then the moment comes when you understand that money is made by sharing your successful experience.

For this purpose, a franchise is being sold, that is, already ready business plan, which calculates all operating costs, describes what personnel are needed, what associated costs are, and so on.

Will such an offer be in demand if potential novice buyers are eager to create their own business, and before their eyes appears successful businessman, not just selling another information product, but inviting you to become part of a big company?

The franchise is very popular in our country, but it has its pros and cons.

Franchise advantages:

Market research, sociological surveys, deciding whether a business idea will work is the concern of other people. Already thought up, painted and offered on a plate.
Lack of entrepreneurial experience is not a problem at all. If there is no official income, the bank will most likely refuse to provide a loan, but the franchisor (franchise seller) will come to the rescue and act as a guarantor.
You can immediately see what profits you can expect and what possible losses. Often when starting a business, although these values are written down in the business plan, they have nothing to do with the numbers that you see in your accounting statement.

Disadvantages of the franchise:

Entry threshold. A franchise is not a gift. Nobody will give you money to start. The first question a franchise seller will ask is do you have start-up capital. No? Go, earn money, collect.
Part of the profit will have to be given away. An integral part of any franchise is royalty. This is fair, but if two or three years have passed and you are doing everything yourself, it may be tempting to stop regular contributions by business strategy developers. It won’t work: the contract obliges!
I have to work. Many novice entrepreneurs mistakenly believe that a franchise is an opportunity to successfully invest money in an existing business project. This is far from the truth and does not overlap with classic investments that are used to generate passive income. A franchise involves hard entrepreneurial work associated with risks, disadvantages and peculiarities.

Relevance, profitability, payback of a business are not the main characteristics that you should pay attention to when creating a business. The main thing is still your competence and how much you like and how excited you are by this or that idea.

What is the most profitable business - 3 areas worth paying attention to + 5 tips on how to determine the profitability of a business.

Nobody wants to invest money in a business that is obviously a failure.

Therefore, find what is the most profitable business and realizing it is the main goal of any entrepreneur.

It is impossible to say for sure which business will be profitable and which will not.

This is influenced by many factors, ranging from the place where it is conducted and ending with the correct organization of affairs.

Know that with proper calculations and the desire to work hard, even the most banal idea can take off.

Today we won't talk about big business in the form of oil refining, machine production and pharmacology, because these industries require colossal investments and connections at the state level.

Therefore, let's discuss ideas for a profitable business that anyone can implement.

What determines the profitability of a business?

Reflecting on the question of what is the most profitable business, it must be said that a lot depends on the person.

If an entrepreneur works carelessly, then the implementation of even the most promising idea can end in real failure.

We all know that when starting a business, you need to conduct a thorough analysis of the chosen area and understand the financial component.

Only after such actions can the profitability of the business be assessed.

To determine the profitability of a business, pay attention to the following conditions:

This is income that will not depend on your participation.

If you have it, you can expand or even open a new business.

Constantly increasing income

Everything is simple here: if your income is growing, then you are on the right track, because your clients or customers are happy, and their number is growing.

Criterion	Benefit Description
Payback	It is important to calculate over what period you will return the invested funds. The faster this happens, the faster you can begin to further develop your business.
Demand	The more people buy your product or service, the higher your income. The higher the income, the more profitable the business.
Competitors	Having little or no competition gives you the opportunity to provide consumers with something new.
Profitability	The rate of revenue growth must exceed sales.
Business expenses	They should be kept to a minimum, but should not affect the quality of goods or services.

How to organize a profitable business?

The benefits of business are different for everyone.

Some people are quite happy with a profit of several thousand, while others need a million, while others want their company to be known throughout the country.

And yet, regardless of the goals of the entrepreneur, everyone needs to know how to properly organize the opening of their own business:

Come up with some ideas

Think about what you want to do and what you can offer to the population.

Let there be several options.

Prioritize the area in which you are strong.

If you understand cars, but do not understand law, then opening a notary office is not for you.

But if you are willing to spend extra time on training, or can pay for the services of specialists who will help you open a business in an industry unfamiliar to you, then go for it.

Calculate the costs of implementing each idea you have in mind

For each idea you have, make calculations with opening costs, as well as approximate income, to find out the payback period.

Remember that you are choosing the most profitable business for yourself.

Consider not only the financial component, but also your own preferences, as well as your knowledge, which you can apply if you choose this or that idea.

Then determine for yourself the top 2-3 ideas.

Analyze the selected ideas

Here, consider factors such as locality, demand, competition, strengths and weak sides every idea.

Choose one idea

Based on the results of the calculations and analysis, you will be able to choose the most profitable business for yourself.

The most profitable business is sales

There are many areas of activity, and it's time to start exploring what what is the most profitable business in each of them.

Trade is an eternal business.

People will always buy something.

Especially it concerns:

food;
clothes;
cosmetics and;
hand-made;
building materials.

Of course, the competition in the trading field is quite tough, but you can still break through if you choose the right niche.

Moreover, in the Internet era, you can engage in online sales.

You don't need to invest a lot of money for this.

But in any case, you need to find proven and reliable suppliers who will deliver quality goods on time.

If you have a small start-up capital, take a closer look at the vending business.

This could include vending machines with coffee, water, drinks and food.

This is a great way to have passive income.

Special attention should be paid to opening a pharmacy.

It is in demand always and everywhere, no matter where you live.

High demand and quick payback speak for themselves - this is a profitable business.

The most profitable business in the field of beauty and health

Now there is just a real “boom” for everything related to beauty and health.

Even in times of crisis, people, especially girls, want to look good.

And on this desire you can build a profitable business.

These include:

hairdressers;
beauty salons (beauty bars) of different classes;
beauty salons;
SPA centers;
fitness clubs;
massage rooms;
medical laboratories;
private medical offices and.

Of course, you shouldn’t open another beauty salon or hairdresser if there are already five in your area.

Before choosing an area of future activity, it is worth highlighting the key factors that determine its profitability:

The time interval for the return of the initially invested funds.
The chosen area of business must necessarily be characterized by great demand from consumers.

Today, the business of providing beauty services is in demand and highly paid. People of all financial abilities and ages will always spend money to maintain their health and beauty.

One of the advantages of this type of business activity is the minimum financial threshold. For example, if there are not enough funds to open a construction company, then you can form a team of professionals and gradually expand the list of services it provides. If you have significant funds, you can safely build real estate.
Trade in food products. No less popular and profitable is the satisfaction of primary human needs - nutrition.

Video on the topic

For success in the organization low-cost business there are two guidelines. The first is innovation, the second is the demand for the service in the micro-region. Which industries do not require large investments and bring stable income today?

A couple of years ago, one of my friends decided to plunge seriously and for a long time into the abyss of the Internet technology and programming market.

It all started with receiving a profitable order from one company. With the money he received, he “refitted” and began looking for new customers. I invited a friend to help, then another. Today his company develops websites and software products not only for regional, but also Russian companies. Impressive? Me - yes. The business, which was low-cost at the “entry”, brought impressive results. Remembering his example, we decided to make our own selection of “low-cost” businesses that can pay for themselves in an acceptable time frame.

Option 1: targeted business

Construction of a shooting range complex is one of the most cost-effective and fastest-paying areas. This is explained primarily by the low occupancy of the niche even in large cities. The crossbow and bow shooting range is the most profitable among others. The menacing-looking weapon does not require special permits, since those crossbows supplied for shooting ranges have the bowstring tension reduced to the legally permitted level - 19.5 kilograms.

To install a crossbow and bow shooting range, a room measuring 10 - 15 m in length and 5 - 8 m in width is required. Basic sets of equipment with everything necessary to organize a shooting range (crossbows, bows, equipment, arrows, quivers, shields, targets, spare parts and accessories) cost 60 - 110 thousand rubles for two clients. The cost of purchasing equipment with the cost of a shot being 30 rubles pays off in just two months. At the same time, crossbows are more profitable to operate than firearms and pneumatic weapons, since they do not require the constant purchase of cartridges. Finally, this is a very spectacular attraction, so the number of fans of this leisure activity is growing much faster than the number of points that can offer it.

Option 2: gambling

Slot machines are a fairly profitable business today. Although recently the competition here has become quite serious. The amount of costs is as follows: equipment - from $2,500, tax - about $100 per month, employee wages - $300 per month, rent of a point (depending on the location) - from 40 to 250 dollars per month.

Approximate revenue is from 1 to 2 thousand dollars per month. Thus, the project pays for itself in two to four months, if the point is sufficiently visited. To reduce the initial investment, if you have certain knowledge, you can assemble a slot machine almost like a computer. Then it will cost 30 - 40 thousand rubles. One of the difficulties of starting this business is obtaining a license, because... they are issued only in Moscow.

Option 3: solar dividends

Solariums have moved from the category of a luxury item to the category of a completely affordable and mass service. Moreover, there is no seasonality in this business: people come to sunbathe all year round, and not just in the spring before the beach season. The price range for the solariums themselves is quite large, but on average a vertical solarium costs about 10 thousand euros. Through leasing schemes, the initial investment can be reduced to 150 thousand rubles (the down payment when purchasing a solarium can be only 30%). Also, when placing a solarium, you don’t need much

area: with locker room approximately 2.5x2 meters. However, the location of the solarium is of great importance here. It is quite advantageous to be located next to office buildings(at lunchtime, such solariums are always packed), shopping centers or work for a specific neighborhood. The payback period will depend entirely on the number of visitors. The average cost of a minute in a solarium today varies from 11 to 20 rubles.

Option 4: musical variations

Perhaps one of the low-cost businesses is the provision of music services for various events (weddings, anniversaries, discos). A starting set of equipment - a pair of speakers, an amplifier and a mixing console - will cost 35 - 40 thousand rubles.

Playing devices can always be selected from those available at home - a music center, a computer, or even an MP3 player. You can start with this. Then you can buy a third (bass) speaker and light: a pair of dynamic guns and spotlights and a strobe light. Newspapers are best for finding orders. free ads and "crawler" on TV. This is an enterprise for two people.

Number one - Maintenance and repair, setup, selection of music, Dj, number two - search for orders, finance and organization, presenter (MC) at the event. On average, you can earn from 3 to 5 thousand rubles for two people per evening. As practice shows, the equipment pays for itself in a maximum of a year.

Option 5: rely on knowledge

If you have knowledge of securities, then this option is for you. As you know, one of the ways to increase personal wealth is to invest in securities (stocks, bonds) that are traded on Russian stock exchanges. Moreover, the yield on the securities market can be several times higher than the yield on bank deposits. Recently, the most common way to purchase securities is trading via the Internet, i.e. Internet trading. To engage in online trading, you do not need large investments: a computer, attending specialized courses (the cost of three-week courses is 1,500 rubles) and “start-up capital”. Its size can range from several tens of thousands of rubles (it is recommended to open an account with a broker for at least 30 thousand rubles, otherwise it will be unprofitable to work) to several hundred thousand rubles.

The payback depends on your financial talent.

Option 6: “clean” business

Cleaning companies are a fairly attractive and interesting business, although it is not as low-cost as it might seem.

Svetlana Ishmukhametova, General Director of LLC Cleaning Company SV and K "Clean Strip":

When creating a professional cleaning company, you need to be prepared for the following: initial costs will be 15 - 20 thousand dollars. This includes all expenses - the purchase of professional equipment and inventory, training, advertising, etc. Moreover, it is unlikely that you will be able to save on initial costs. For example: if you buy cheap cleaning equipment, then as a result you will receive low-quality services, and in the future there will be large costs for the repair and replacement of this equipment. As for current costs, most of it goes to pay wages and for purchasing Supplies. A lot of money is also spent on advertising. Also, do not forget about updating the equipment fleet and training staff, as cleaning technologies are constantly updated. Thus, the cleaning business is far from low-cost. And the cheapest option for organizing a cleaning company, unfortunately, is a company that calls itself a “cleaning company,” but the work is performed with unprofessional equipment, household detergents, cheap labor is used, and there is no need to talk about compliance with any technologies at all.

Option 7: beautiful vending

One of the most attractive and beautiful businesses is selling goods through a vending machine, or vending. Through such machines you can sell candy, chewing gum, cigarettes, hot and cold drinks. The initial investment is the device itself. Thus, a coffee machine costs from 1.5 thousand euros and more. But on average the price of a good device is about 3 thousand euros. The payback period varies from 8 to 20 months. The minimum payback period is for off-season goods, for example, cigarettes.

In general, everything depends on the location of the device (the place should be well visited) and, accordingly, the number of goods sold.

Option 8: dedicated to accountants

Today, according to experts, there is a significant demand for individual accounting services: medium business I began to realize that it was better to pay taxes and sleep peacefully. And in order to pay them correctly, proper preparation of financial statements is necessary. So, why not organize a corresponding company? The initial investment (if you approach the matter responsibly) is quite serious here - about 700 thousand rubles. Among them: registering an enterprise - 6 thousand rubles, obtaining a license - 23 thousand rubles, renting an office (a minimum of 5 auditors, a secretary, a manager, a client manager) of approximately 60 m2 - 42 thousand rubles. Plus, it will take about 30 thousand rubles to create a brand, 150 thousand rubles for office equipment and 350 thousand rubles for advertising campaigns. The payback period is in 1.5 years. The difficulty is tough competition.

The trend is to single out highly specialized areas of business.

Irina Soikina, General Director of Solutions Workshop:

For success in organizing a low-cost business, in my opinion, there are two guidelines. The first is innovation, i.e. how much you can offer something new. And here the moment of promotion will be especially important. It may even turn out that advertising costs will be much more than the business itself. The second guideline is the offer of a service that is important for a particular neighborhood. Why do small grocery stores open? Convenient: no need to stand in line for a small set of products. In principle, there is a trend towards fragmentation and the separation of highly specialized areas.

If we talk about popular areas, now medicine has reached a new level, education has leapt ahead, and the gambling business has begun to actively develop. Moreover, they invest mainly in surgery and rehabilitation centers. The dental services market is already oversaturated. The rapid development of psychological offices has also come to an end. Medicine is also being fragmented: now, for example, just massage rooms are in great demand. The sauna market is already oversaturated, small cafeterias are closing (they cannot compete with business lunches and lunch delivery), and the demand for ateliers has dropped significantly. But there is great demand for slot machines and educational services.

The business idea itself may be low-cost, but its implementation can also be low-cost. This should not be forgotten. So, now to open a business, relatively speaking, three people are needed: a secretary who takes calls, a director and a manager who looks for customers. There is no need to keep your own accountant, lawyer, or advertising specialist at the enterprise, and therefore pay them a constant salary. These functions can be “delegated”: if necessary, simply seek advice from the relevant companies. For example, people come to us and say: “I have this idea, and I need to somehow implement it.” During the consultation, we decide how this can be done: where it is better to register, what form of ownership to choose, how to form an authorized capital, what is better - a “simplified” or a regular taxation system. Savings on both costs and time.
