Wanting to be an entrepreneur and having control of your own life is the desire of many. However, it can be hard to know what businesses even to start. Thankfully, with the internet, social media, and other technology, there are many different business ideas you can get started easily from your home with little to zero start-up costs.

Here are four small business ideas to start as a new entrepreneur:

 

Mindfulness and Meditation Coach

Just about everyone suffers from anxiety and is looking for ways to find instant relief. If you have a passion for calming anxiety or enjoy making people feel relaxed, becoming a meditation and mindfulness coach may be an excellent path for you. Start this idea with a blog, YouTube channel sharing videos, and peaceful meditations on Insight timer.

 

Digital Marketing Consultant

Do you enjoy content marketing and know exactly what it takes to market a business online? Then starting a digital marketing consulting company is a profitable option for you. Starting a blog and opening an Instagram and LinkedIn account will likely be the best places to start within this industry.

 

Personal Finance Coach

Many people need help with personal finances through one-on-one coaching, online courses, ebooks, or YouTube videos. However, the most traditional way to start this business idea is by creating a blog and sharing your best strategies to avoid debit, build credit, plan for retirement, and so much more. If you have tips on increasing your income or making money online, those are other strategies that can help build your personal finance blog.

 

Online Dropshipping Store

Another popular option is to start an online dropshipping store through Shopify. You can succeed within the dropshipping niche if you know how to market just about any product online. The idea is to find a company that will store, package, and ship your items on your behalf, so you don’t have to. This model can be more expensive than traditional online stores but can make it easier for entrepreneurs to own their own product business.

If you’re unsure which business to pursue as an entrepreneur, then take the time to research each of these ideas. Understand what it takes to get the work done and compare it to the life you want to live. Then give each of these ideas a test run. Just because you provide them with a try doesn’t mean you have to commit, nor does it mean you are a failure. Learning is part of the entrepreneurship journey and helps you discover and create the right business idea.
