The crisis is the very time when a hobby can turn into a real, well-paid job. We've found three cute home business ideas.
Own clothing brand
A business idea based on the production of knitted or tailored garments or accessories is available to almost everyone: housewives, retirees, mothers on maternity leave, students, and just those who love handicrafts. The initial investment is minimal - equipment (sewing machine, knitting needles, hook) and materials, and such a business can be promoted using social networks. It is quite possible to make money on creating hand-made outfits, because handmade things are always valued higher than machine labor. Over time, your tiny sewing and knitting shop can grow into its own fashion brand.
Hint: to become a happy owner of the main engine of a small business - a good reputation, you should adhere to two rules: comply with the terms agreed by the customer and do the job efficiently.
Confectionery in your own kitchen
Lovers of cooking also have the opportunity to make money from their hobby: homemade pastries have recently enjoyed increasing success. You can cook to order not only pies and cakes, but also other sweets: keypops, cupcakes, macaroons, tartlets, cookies and marshmallows. At first, you can cook at home, you just need to have a high-quality stove, oven and, of course, the talent of a pastry chef. And in a few years, you may be able to open your own cafe.
Hint: Take care not only of the taste, but also of the appearance of the product. Use your imagination to create original culinary masterpieces, so you can quickly make a name for yourself and find repeat customers.
Beauty salon at home
Opening a hairdressing salon in a residential building, even if you are its sole owner, is not permitted by the legislation of the Russian Federation, it is possible only in non-residential premises. However, no one can forbid you to provide hairdressing and make-up services at home or go to clients for this. If you previously worked in a beauty salon and have at least a little experience, then the costs necessary to implement such a business idea will fall mainly on the materials with which you will work. If not, then you have to not only buy a suitcase with tools, but also complete at least courses for hairdressers and make-up artists. On average, it takes about 3-4 months, and the price depends on the level of the salon in which the training takes place. But you can use the acquired skills immediately after the end of the class. As a rule, information about make-up artists and hairdressers is passed by word of mouth, clients turn to recommendations, especially if your specialization is weddings.
Hint: work tools must be of high quality and comfortable. You should not immediately buy a lot of tools, it is better to supplement the arsenal as needed.
