‘Maybe you’ve specific skills and ideas to begin an enterprise. If not, you could refer to some excellent articles on how to start a home-based business and check what suits your skills and educational qualifications.‘
However, here’re the top 10 ideas that I can suggest for any housewife to become an entrepreneur.
1- Online Marketplace
Starting an online marketplace is much simpler than you can imagine. If you can create knitwear or any other stuff that’s always in demand, open an online marketplace on Shopify. And if you’re good at making something that’s genuinely unique and rare, try selling on Etsy. An online marketplace also allows you to develop your own brand of products and is a superb, home-based business.
2- Blogging
Blogging is perhaps the simplest way a housewife can become a woman entrepreneur. All you require is excellent writing skills and in-depth knowledge about something. Starting a blog isn’t all that difficult as you might imagine. This is an online and home-based enterprise which means you can devote time to household work as well as blogging. Starting a blog doesn’t really cost much. You’ll have to invest a very small amount of money to buy a domain name, website hosting and other essentials.
3- Vlogging
Vlogging means video blogging. As a housewife, you can share some of your skills, such as cooking, raising children, or even fitness and sport, through YouTube. Maybe you’re unaware, but YouTube allows you to open a free channel. Creating amazing videos doesn’t require a sophisticated camera: the one on your smartphone would be enough. Popularize your videos through social media and other channels. Once you have enough subscribers, you can opt for Google AdSense. This means Google will display ads on your YouTube channel, and you pay for it.
4. Handmade Beauty Products
Trends nowadays indicate that people, especially beauty and health-conscious women, prefer handmade and exclusive beauty products. And the choice is more towards those made with natural herbs. It’s possible to sell these handmade beauty products online through a marketplace or through Facebook Marketplace. Popularize them through friends and your social contacts to get more customers. Maybe someday you can have your own brand of handmade cosmetics too.
5. Event Management
Women are known for meticulous planning. Therefore, use these skills to launch an event management business from home. You could start by providing event management services for birthday parties and family occasions before graduating to larger functions that companies require. This is a very lucrative business that never goes out of season. In fact, you can enlist the assistance of other housewives in your area to conduct these events.
6. Catering
Catering is yet another superb business that any housewife can own to become a female entrepreneur. To open this business, you’ll require superb culinary and organizational skills. Here too it’s possible to take help from women in your area or family to assist with cooking. You could start by taking orders for smaller parties and events or even deliver home-cooked meals to offices for busy executives. There would be no shortage of customers because people prefer home-cooked meals compared to restaurant fare.
7. Jams & Sauces
Scottish teenager Fraser Doherty became one of the youngest millionaires in the world and earned a reputation as ‘Jam Boy.’ That’s because he began making amazing jams using his grandma’s recipes. Similarly, if you have any such superb recipes for traditional jams and sauces, use them and launch a home-based enterprise. You could make these on order or prepare a small stock and sell them within your social circle and from neighbourhood stores. This is an amazing business that’s always evergreen.
8. Dance Classes
You’ll be amazed at the number of women that wish to learn dancing but are shy to attend classes. You can help such women become female entrepreneurs by opening dance classes at home or even online. This is possible if you’re adept at some forms of dancing and can train people well. This is also a very profitable business because dance trainers charge a lot of money. You could conduct private classes for one person or train a group of women, depending on what suits your needs.
9. Multilevel marketing
Multilevel Marketing or MLM is also known as direct selling. It’s one of the best home-based businesses in the world. MLM associates aren’t employees of the company. Instead, they work as independent entrepreneurs. There’re dozens of top MLM companies in the US and elsewhere that are always happy to welcome newer associates.
Joining them is fairly easy. You’ll have to leverage your social network both offline and online to sell products to these people. In fact, millions of MLM associates are making thousands of dollars every month by generating newer leads and bagging more customers.
