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.
