What small business could i set up?

Elden Bardach: What are your interests? If you're serious about starting a business, you should offer products/services that you believe in and that you are passionate about. When you decide what that product or service is, you then have to have the following things. Some major things you need to start a small business are:1. A product/service that is of high-quality for the value customers will be willing to pay; also, your product needs to fulfill consumers needs in your target market. As the popularity of social networking sites as a form of business marketing increases, so too will the need for "experts" in this field. Would you consider yourself an expert in social networking? 2. A business plan- writing down your business's purpose, product, customers, short-term & long-term goals, etc. helps move ideas into tangible actions. 3. Marketing strategy- the best form of marketing is positive word-of-mouth. Create for your customers a quality product at a reasonable value! or provide them with outstanding service, so that they will have nothing but good things to say about your business to their friends & family. Another way to market a young business is through the Internet, where it is cheaper & more efficient to market in than traditional marketing through newspapers & commercials. Create a Facebook page for your business to increase awareness and also showcase your talents to prospective clients. Also, you should list your business (when you begin one) online, specifically on websites that direct users to local businesses in their area like zipzoom.com. If you haven't heard of zipzoom.com before, it is an online shopping website where users/customers can search for local businesses that offer products and services ranging from babysitters to electricians to flowers. Users can communicate directly with businesses they choose to buy services/products from after getting recommendations from zipzoom.com, and from there, your business can gai! n business. Right now, zipzoom.com is doing a special promotio! n for vendors who are interested: register as a vendor for free. It's a good option for those who are on a tight budget but still need exposure to grow their business. If this is something that appeals to you, you should just try it out and see what happens because there is no obligation to sign up.4. Financing- In order to start a small business, you need to be able to invest money into it. It seems like you are willing to invest a lot of money into the opening of your business, but just remember that it will be easier to start out small than go all out for your new business.In order to be successful, you need to be willing to put a lot of time, energy & money into the growth of your business, especially in the beginning stages. I hope this information helps. Good luck on your business ventures!...Show more
