Do you want to be your own boss? You are not alone. 

According to a recent survey, 55% of people who start a business are motivated by being their own boss and taking control of their financial life. 

Fortunately, starting a business is not difficult or complicated. With the right idea, and a healthy dose of time, energy, and money, even business beginners can create the income and freedom that comes with being a small business owner. 

If you are thinking of becoming your own boss but aren’t sure what type of business to start, here are several business ideas to consider. 

1. Etsy Shop Owner 

If you are creative, why not open an Etsy shop? Etsy is an online marketplace people browse to find the best handmade goods online. While you may need to budget for specific supplies, like buying mechanical presses or other high-quality tools of the trade, Etsy can be a fun way to build a profitable business. 

2. Freelance Writer 

One of the best business ideas for beginners is to become a freelance writer. Creating useful and engaging content is a skill you can learn and one that can be very profitable. Best of all, you can launch your business in a few, simple steps and be up and running in no time. 

3. House Cleaner 

Starting a house cleaning business is a great idea for beginners because you only need yourself and a few cleaning supplies. You can market your business by adding yourself to local business directories, both on and offline. Stand out from the crowd by offering a special service, such as whole-house disinfecting. 

4. Social Media Influencer 

One of the most profitable online business ideas for beginners is to become a social media influencer. You would build a following on the social media platforms of your choice and work with companies to sell their products. Growing a successful influencer business takes time but the rewards are well worth it. 

5. Photographer 

If you are thinking of starting an online business and are skilled in photography, why not sell your images online? There are many platforms you can use to get your name out there and raise interest in your work. Consider specializing in a certain style or niche to increase the value of your services. 

6. Home Food Delivery 

Home food delivery is booming, and it’s an industry that is projected to keep growing and growing. You can work for one of the many home delivery services, or start your own business. Like any other business, you will likely get better results by offering a specific service, rather than food delivery in general. 

These Are Profitable Ideas for Business Beginners 


Open an Etsy shop and sell your handmade goods. You can also become a freelance writer, photographer, social media influencer. Consider taking your business offline and starting a housecleaning or food delivery business. 

Whatever idea you choose as a business beginner, you can be successful and create the life you are dreaming of.
