While for some businesses you need some sort of cooperate office to work, for others you can actually start and use your home as your office.
Here is a brief list of some businesses you can start from
home…
1. Bakery
Becoming a baker in a country like Nigeria, you will
experience a huge turnout in clients to patronize you. Baking has become one of
the best source of income for a lot of Nigerians as various events take place
in the country. As a baker, you can decide to choose what area you want to
focus your baking like baking cakes or bread.
To become an expert at this sort of business, you will need
a baking recipe book to aide you and also you will need to learn from others that
are good at it. Becoming good at it will help you attract a great number of
customers.
2. Event Planning
As it is, Nigeria is a very great country where this
business will thrive. There is no week you don’t get to hear about one event or
the other, most especially weddings. As an event planner, your focus will be on
how to make the event you plan well organized and beautiful. This is the reason
old and new clients will want to come back to you for more.
Work towards building a well-organized event planning team
and be available when you are called upon. As a planner for events, you must be
efficient and prepared when your assistance is needed.
3.Fashion Designing
As a fashion designer, you must be creative and have an eye
for good dress concepts. You should have a good skill in picking out colors and
work well with dress combination. You should be able to work with your hands
well. All these can be learned properly once you are interested in delving into
this field and of course you can start from home.
4. Custom Clothing Business
Your main target will be those attending events and
organizations. In this area, you will never cease to get jobs to do for people
so it is advisable that as soon as you get your business running, you should
get people to work with you so as to make it very much easy for you to run. You
must also be creative in this line and be good with color combinations too.
5. Laundry Service
This is a very good business to start even in your room. For
a start, you will need a source of electricity (for a country like Nigeria,
having a standby generator is very necessary), washing machine, detergent and a
pressing iron. A lot of people find it quite stressful to wash their clothes
and would be looking for someone that could render such service. Setting up a
laundry service in a place where people have to wake up every morning to go to
work or in a university environment is a great idea. In delivering this service,
you will want to make sure that you give the best so as to have regular
customers coming back.
6. Babysitting
Some couples have to leave their very young children (1-3
years old) in the hands of someone when they have to go to work. You could
start using your home to render that service. You should be ready to change
diapers, feed the babies, put them to sleep, teach them to do certain things
and also be around them all the time to avoid injuries. Also get toys that they
will play with and a TV set where they can watch children shows and cartoons
because children get to learn faster this way.
7. Computer Repair
Computer owners need experts to help them service their
systems, upgrade the systems, install updates and also fix issues in their
computer systems. You will be very much patronized once you are able to get your
skill up in this area. Learn to repair computers and be ready to solve the
problem these computer owners usually have.
8. Jewelry, Cosmetics & Perfumes
Buy jewelries, cosmetics and perfumes at cheap rates, make
connections with people around and get to sell to them. You can also decide to
focus on only one of these items.
9. Instrument Lesson
Pick a musical instrument and learn it properly and then
turn it into a business. If you look out there, you will see that there are a
lot of people wanting to learn these instruments. So get people that are
willing to learn and give them practical lessons. You can also give out some
video or written tutorials so that they can always go back home and continue
their learning process.
10. Online Business
One very interesting and profitable business to start is the
online/ internet business. Go online, create a website and begin passing across
vital information on the area you are really good at. There are a number of businesses
to plunge into online, pick one and work with it. Here are some profitable
online businesses you can choose from-
-Website design
-Online buying and selling on eBay.
As you run any of these businesses, have in mind that at the
beginning, it can be tough and also know that you must spread information about
what you do. Tell people about you, have a business and contact information and
card. With these things, you are creating a growing and lasting business for
yourself. Check out '7 things a good business should have'.
