10 home based small business ideas for women in India


Hi,

Are you homemaker/housewife looking for home based business? Here are the ideas and opportunities. In this post I would recommend top 10 home based small business that will fetch good amount of money and self satisfaction as well.

Since blog is short and snappy, I would try to explain briefly and later I would you explain each of them in detail. Okay! Let us begin.

My first question to all housewives why you should choose home based business? To answer this I would say, there are many reasons some of them are:


  • My husband does not want me to work outside
  • My family does not allow me
  • I am well educated and want to start home based business, but need ideas and support
  • I have a small kid, so doing job outside is not feasible
  • I do not to work under anybody
  • Some working ladies say it’s enough I cannot work anymore. I should own something on my won
  • Some say hey! Too much of workload
  • My husband is working hard. I need to support him
  • Recession, layoff, uncertain future, no career growth

There are other answers to this like be your own boss, fire your boss, no 9 to 5 work, no target etc. I guess all of these points are true. Now discuss how to choose right business.

There are many home based businesses available in India, but most of the people consider this as a part time job. They think spending two hrs a day will earn money. But the fact is that you cannot earn healthy amount just by spending couple of hours. Many companies and agencies offer part time job like data entry, copy paste job, paper work, and something like this. Most of the part time jobs are fake. You would read in newspaper and internet: earn thousand in paper work or make 20000 in a month by copy-paste work. 
Here I am listing top 10 home based businesses for Indian housewife that you can think of. Pls look at the list:


1. Article marketing: If you are good at English and love writing, you can make thousand of rupees. Many companies look for home based writers.

2. Affiliate marketing: Want to make money from Internet? Learn affiliate marketing. Sell other products in your website or blog. Be little wise. Do not put company’s products straight away. People need info and then look for products. So analyze and plan.
    3. Home based Search Engine Optimization (SEO consultant): SEO is the most buzz word and money generating business in online business. Every company tries to sell their product/service online. But most of them do not practice due to lack of knowledge or time. SEO helps in ranking in search engine like Google. Huge huge profit. I mean you can earn in lakhs. 

    4. Start your ebook business: You can start your online ebook company. Let’s say you love pet caring or anything you like art and craft, or kitty party organizer. Many people look for this kind of service. Write a book on this and sell them in ebay, Amazon, Facebook etc. You do not need to be a writer. People are there to help you out.

    5. Online training company: If you love teaching and training why do not to get into online business. Build your site; put all the necessary info on your site, show couple of demo classes. It could be any topic. So plan it out.

    6. Start your home based catering business: It’s a yummy business. Tell me who do not like food. Everybody loves food. There are already catering business around. But this catering business is little different. Start this business within your community, society, or friend circle. Coz you know them. If you ask them, I would like to start catering business, they will love to taste your food. Nobody will say no, we do not need your food. Once they like your food, you got them on your side. Many people love home cooked food. So start soon. It’s festival time. There are dozen festivals in between Aug to Jan. 

    7. Start your cooking class both classroom and online: Do you love cooking. Why not start your cooking class. It’s a very lucrative and multi stream income business.

    8. Start paying guest business: Another lucrative business. You hardly need any special skill and knowledge for this. If you live in metro or cities, I would recommend this business. I am from Bangalore; I have seen how housewives make money out of this. Hire a 3BHK and make it furnished. I mean get bed, study table, and provide them food. That’s it. Charge 4000 to 5000 per bed. Good profit.

    9. T-shirt business: Believe me, it’s a roaring business. You can make 50 to 60 percent profit from each t-shirt and added to this you can sell your t-shirt online. You need plain t-shirt, design art, t-shirt transfer paper, heat press t-shirt machine, and printer. 

    10. Start your snacks and namkeen (mixture) business. People love hygienic food. You may consider baked items, cookies, masala peanuts, sev, even laddoos and many such goodies.
    Hope you like my post. 

    I am an Internet marketing trainer, mentor and small business consultant. If you are planning to start any of this business that listed on this post, pls let me know. I would love to assist you.

    If you have any other home based ideas, that you wish to start, you can always reach me out.

    Thanks

    Now your EBook is ready.
    How to sell an EBook. Boss ! What is the price? Have you worked on pricing? Check how others are pricing. Go for a competitive price.

    Where to sell EBook. You can sell your book in many ways. Look at these ways:
    • Contact publishers

    Start your Web designing business in India: A complete business plan

    Hi reader,

    There are many lucrative small businesses in India, but the business which I am going to tell in this blog is web designing business. You would have read it before however this blog would give you ample exposure about website business. Let’s start.
    Why web designing business: Source says there are 400 odd websites being created in a minute. You just imagine the number of websites in a year. Business owners know the benefits of website. Ever since Internet is reaching every nook and corner of India, more and more business owners try to grow their business online mainly small towns and rural areas.

    You as a website designing company can help those people to flourish their online business. So getting into website design business is a right choice. Secondly this business is never ending.
    Who can start this business: I won’t say anybody can do this business. Those who have got skill set and knowledge can start this business. But there certain people, who have got great passion toward this business, can start this business but before getting into this, you must attend training and do some projects.

    Skill set you need: You must learn web designing tool such as Adobe Dreamweaver. This is the best tool. But this tool alone does not make you perfect. Added to this you must learn domain name registration and web hosting. As I told earlier, some people are there who want to start this business but lack skill set can go for drag and dropwebsite tool. You do not want to learn any tool. Yahoo small business gives you build your own website by using drag and drop. Also Yahoo small business offers business opportunity.
    Next stepis to go official, I mean company registration. Yes this is must. At least go for proprietorship. Later you can go for LLP/pvt ltd. Open bank account in your company’s name.

    Infra you need: Start with small office. Buy heavy duty PCs with internet connection. Buy original software like Adobe Dreamweaver and Photoshop. But most of the people use crack version. It’s your call. Have 24/7 power supply.
    Other software you may need: winzip, filezilla, pdf, and antivirus software. Added to this you have to be a member of stock photo provider so that you can buy some photographs and banners. Go for royalty free images as they are cheap.

    Team setup: To start this business you not only need web designer but other professional like graphic designer, content writer. Graphic designer is must. Because they will create banner, logo and other graphic elements. You may hire full time employee but make sure you must hire two freelance graphic designers. Hire freelance content writer at least two writers. We forget one thing. Yes marketing guy. Hire reliable marketing guy. Be very careful while hiring marketing guy. They can destroy your business. If your knowledge level is lesser than the marketing guy, what would you do, I mean how you would handle them. Since you and your company are new, I won’t recommend you to hire fresher marketing guy. If everybody is new, who will drive the business? So hiring reliable and experience is recommended.
    Build your own website: My suggestion to you is spend as much time as you can with your website. Define your business very clearly. Segregate your customer. Think how you can help your customer. While creating your website, pls involve your graphic, web designer, content writer and other team member. Brief them properly. Give them clear vision about your website. Make sure your site is user friendly and can be easily navigated. Add chat facility and contact form to you web site.

    SEO is must: Do SEO for your site in order to rank your site and receive visitors
    Service you can offer:

    • Static web site
    • Dynamic website
    • Ecommerce (shopping portal)
    • Logo
    • Content writing
    • Domain and web hosting
    Marketing kit: You marketing kit should include:
    • Business card
    • Letter head
    • Flyer
    • Brochure
    • Presentation
    • Business intro letter
    • Seminar ppt
    • Clientele list
    • Testimonial
    • On-going project
    • Pricelist
    Challenges: Challenges are many. Indian customers will make you crazy. Sometimes you will curse yourself. But do not lose patience. Be relaxed and cool. Have a peace of mind.

    From client side
    • I need ditto site (make them understand ditto is not possible but we will do more or less like that site)
    • I need glossy images (make them understand all images are not free. They have to pay for it)
    • Good writing (can you copy form that site): Do not copy from any site. It’s plagiarism. Charge extra for writing
    • I need logo (some people believe logo is free. Tell them they have to pay for it)
    • Flash should be attractive (you must tell them it needs time and brainstorming. You can charge for it)
    • Hey I need chat facility (yes chat facility is free, but you need time to add the coding. May charge little money since you are spending time on it)
    • Why there is no Facebook like button (you can add those button, but ask for money
    • Can I add map in my site (same as above)
    • After three to six month customers come back and say:
    Why my site is not there in Google (tell them, they have to do SEO)

    My site is not opening (may be they have not paid for domain renewal and hosting)

    Hey buddy! I need it urgently pls add two pages. Add some good images and content. Give me tomorrow (website designing needs time and effort. You keep your buffer time and then commit)

     From your team:

    • Graphic designers (they will make you dance. Have back up graphic designer)

    • PHP/my sql professional (same as above)
    • Content writer (they might tell you, there is no briefing, how can I write copy. Make sure you brief them)
    • SEO (optional)
    • Web hosting (you can start your own hosting or else outsource hosting to other company)

     
    So, this is how a website business runs. Hope I have mentioned some of the points. If you are paining to start website designing business, pls write to us. Wewill be glad to help you

    Good luck

    Start your SEO training institute


    Franchise opportunities in India

     
     
    Hi reader!

    There are hundreds of franchise opportunities available in India, but which is good for you. Recent survey says training or education is one of the best franchise opportunities in India. Since last few years this business has created, many opportunities for new entrepreneurs and start-ups  If you are planning for training business, I would recommend for SEO training institute. SEO training institute business is most profitable and successful business in India.  It is low cost and high profitable.

    Let us start!

    Who can start this business: Educated housewife (homemaker), Teachers, Lecturers, existing training institute owner, wannabe entrepreneur and start-up (MBA, MCA students, others)

     

    Skill: You should possess complete SEO knowledge. If you do not have SEO knowledge, get trained from reputable institute. Honestly saying learning is not that tough, but you need a lot of practice.

     

    Level of risk: Low


    Profit: Handsome

    Investment required: 50,000 to 70,000 Indian rupees

    Where you can start this business: Metros, cites, towns

    Your target audience:

    Students: You can target final year students like B. Sc. B. A. B. Com, M. Sc, M. A., M. Com, MCA, MBA, B. Tech, and B. E. These students look for job. SEO gives equal job opportunity to everyone.

    Jobless people: These days if you ask any guy “what are you doing after graduate. The common answer would be MBA/MCA”. However, how many of them get job? There are lakhs of students roaming around for job. You can approach them.

    Housewife: You can target housewife too. Housewives often look for part-time /home based job. Many SEO companies look for part time professional.

    Small business owner: Big market chunk for you. Since SEO service providers charge 50,000 to 60,000 for SEO, Small business owner prefer to learn SEO, so that they can do on their own.

    SEO training options: You can offer weekend classes, crash course, and two-day SEO training workshop. Apart from SEO, you can also offer Social media, email marketing, and affiliate marketing training.

    How much would you charge: It starts with five thousands to ten thousands. Some institutes even charge twenty thousands. You think carefully and then decide.

    What you need to start this business: If you want to be a freelance trainer, there is no need for company registration. If you want to run a full-fledged training institute, I would suggest you register your company. Added to this you also need to:

    • Build a website
    • Prepare course material
    • Set up a placement cell
    • Provide certificate
     
    Infrastructure:

    • You just need one room, I mean 1BHK
    • Two to three PC with internet connection
    • One whiteboard
    • Study table and chairs

    Marketing: Since it is a knowledge-based business, you must do an in-depth analysis for your target audience. SEO training for students is different from small business owners. Students need training and job placement wherein business owner need results. Therefore, you think what kind of strategy is required. However, for the branding and campaigning you can distribute leaflet, and brochure. Go to colleges and talk to principal and students. Make them understand how SEO can create employment opportunity. Like wise, you can plan for business owner. Blog writing is must.

    What you need: As I told you, it’s not that expensive business, you can start with two computers with internet connection. Added to this you can hire SEO professional (full time or part time). If you do not want, you can do on your own. Don’t forget to hire an experienced content writer. Yes only experienced writer. Give your writer proper briefing about clients’ requirement.

    How much should you charge: I would say, you should charge less than the market rate. On an average SEO providers charge 10k to 12k per month for five keywords. Normally SEO takes five to six months. That means for one SEO project the market rate is 50,000 to 60,000 for six months. But I doubt local business owner could afford this much. You take a call on this.


    Hope this blog would give some insight about SEO business for Indian entrepreneur.
