- In this video, I'm gonna show you
seven of the best businesses for beginners to start today.
All with proven market demand, high profit potential,
and all have the ability to be started as side hustles
and then quickly scaled up to million empires.
(upbeat music)
Starting with one of the easiest businesses to start
that could have you earning your first few hundred dollars
by the end of today
and ending with a business
that has an almost unlimited potential to scale to the moon
and is probably the one that I would do
if I was just getting started today.
If you can walk, you can run a business.
(applause)
There are 48,255,413 dog owners in the US alone.
Each one of them is a potential customer
for your new dog walking empire.
You don't really need experience to do this job,
and it's an incredibly lucrative market
worth a staggering $222.93 billion.
And there are a ton of examples
of people making a lot of money
just making sure that man's best friend
gets a little exercise.
Start by offering your services to friends, family
and neighbors, and then build your clientele
through word of mouth and social media.
Provide good quality service, show up on time
and actually care about the dogs that you're walking
and their owners and soon you'll find that you'll be top dog
of the dog walking world.
That wasn't a very good joke.
(crickets chirping)
And sooner than later, people will be begging you
to take their furry little friends for a stroll.
And once you've built up a long and loyal customer list,
well, you can expand your business further
by offering additional services like pet sitting.
You could also start looking after cats
which would give you access
to an additional 31,896,077 customers.
So who let the dogs out?
You did, my friend.
And you're making bank doing it.
Oh, this episode is full of bad jokes.
Global warming is scary,
which means that the green energy sector is here to stay,
and it's expanding really fast.
It 18 Xed 18, 18-oupled, octo-decoupled?
It grew 18 times between 2010 and 2020 alone.
There are a ton of ways to get into the green energy space
without needing an environmental engineering degree
including creating or designing reusable shopping bags,
a solid option as more and more towns
are banning the use of plastic grocery bags,
starting an organic gardening and plant delivery business
or beekeeping or starting a goat rental business.
Yes, you heard that right?
Goat rentals, also known as goatscaping or rent-a-goat,
is the process of using goats as a herbicide-free way
of removing invasive plants and weeds
and really just keeping the lawn from overgrowing,
and it's especially useful on steep terrain.
I've already got my first crew goatscaping over there.
It also cuts down on fossil fuel burning lawnmowers
and is helpful at reducing the risk of forest fires.
That is unless your goat spontaneously combusts.
Now starting a goat rental business isn't cheap
as you do need to buy goats,
and you need a way to get your your goats
from point A to point B
and all the other costs associated with keeping them fed
and happy, healthy.
But hey, if the goat rental thing doesn't work out,
you could always try your hand at goat yoga
or maybe even starting a goat choir.

When it comes to recurring revenue
and the dream of generating passive income,
subscription-based businesses are as close as things get,
and subscription box services have grown in popularity
as customers are looking for convenience
and personalized experiences
and more and more access to unique products.
The subscription box business model
involves finding and putting together and delivering
a selection of items to subscribers on a regular basis,
usually monthly or quarterly,
and gives you an opportunity
to provide a really interesting and novel experience
for your customers, often introducing them to new products
or services or items
that they never would've come across otherwise.
There are obviously big players in this space
like Dollar Shave Club, which sold for $1 billion,
but that's just proof that there's demand,
and there's money to be made in this space.
Now if there's already something that you're super into
and know a whole lot about, then obviously start there.
But if you still can't come up with an idea
for your new subscription box business,
well, maybe try one of these on for size.
(upbeat music)
The Awkward Moments Box, a subscription box
filled with cringe-worthy, yet hilarious items
inspired by awkward moments in real life.
The box could include embarrassing stories,
games centered around awkward situations,
and quirky conversation-starting products
or how about the Pet Shaming box?
Pet owners would receive a monthly box
containing funny pet accessories like costumes and toys
and signs for creating their very own pet shaming photos.
Additionally, the box could include treats
and grooming items to pamper pets
after their brief moment of shame.
You could also offer this as an add-on service
for your dog walking business.
Or how about the retro nostalgia box?
A throwback themed box filled with nostalgic items
from the 80s, the 90s and early two 2000s.
Subscribers could receive quirky merchandise
like vintage toys and games and snacks and collectibles,
transporting them back to their childhood.
If saving the planet is kind of your thing,
then you're really gonna like this next business idea
as it kind of ties in with being a green business
but also lends itself nicely
to the ever-growing trend of e-commerce and online shopping.
Essentially mashing together
two different massive opportunities
in order to create one
environmentally, capitalist friendly power couple.
As the world becomes increasingly eco-conscious,
the demand for sustainable
and environmentally friendly products has skyrocketed,
which makes launching a brand
that offers eco-friendly solutions
and alternatives to everyday products kind of a winner.
Reusable food containers, biodegradable cleaning supplies
or ethically sourced clothing are all great options,
and brands like by Humankind, Toad&Co
and Kimono My House are proving
that you can create eco-friendly
and ethically sourced products
and still build a lucrative business.
You can create the products yourself if you have the desire
and know how to do so, but you can also drop ship them
which allows you to deliver these products
without ever having to take physical ownership of anything.
Or you could find a brand or a business
or a product that you believe in
and do affiliate marketing for them,
essentially earning a commission
every time that a customer buys one of their products
through your link.
Coffee is the most popular drink in the world.
30 to 40% of the world's population
consume coffee every day.
In the US, these figures are much higher
and work out to about 65% of the population
drinking it every day.
49% of people drink three to five cups a day,
and 56% of people at least somewhat agree
that coffee benefits their health.
In other words, when it comes to a product
with global appeal, it's hard to think of another product
that people love more than coffee.
- Okay, guys, we all drink them all.
- Now, sure, coffee does have a lot of competition,
but it's also a $495 billion industry.
So selling coffee can still be profitable,
especially with a good branding and marketing plan.
Plus customers typically associate small brands
as having a higher quality than large mega brands.
This means that your brand new niche coffee brand
has a real opportunity to stand out
and be perceived as a higher quality
with better taste, better flavor, better profile,
better other coffee terms.
Smoothness, acidity?
The key then is to make sure
that you're naming it something creative like Brewtopia,
Javalanche, Bean Voyage, Mugs and Magic,
The Bold Bean, Perky Planet, Brewmance,
Drip Drop or my personal favorite Wake Up.
Plus coffee is one of those products
that you can easily pair with pretty much any other idea
on this business idea list like subscription boxes,
sustainable e-commerce
or maybe even green business
if you can find an organic, ethical,
solar-powered coffee farm to get your beans from.
I'm willing to bet
there's something you're really good at
and also really enjoy doing.
Maybe you love cooking or baking.
Maybe it's reading or watching movies
and then talking about them with your friends
or outdoor activities or playing video games.
It might be that you're a real animal lover
and you taught your dog how to DJ.
(turntable chirping)
Impressive, but it could literally be anything
from travel to gardening to board games to photography.
Everyone has something that they're into,
and the odds are good
that there are people out there who want to learn
how to do whatever it is that you're into.
People that you could teach or coach or train
in order to help them learn faster,
avoid common mistakes and get better results.
And you can do this through online coaching,
online consulting, or by creating and selling
an online course
and joining the online education space,
an industry worth $166.6 billion
and expected to just keep growing
and be be worth $238.4 billion by 2027.
But before you say that your hobby or interest or skillset
is too small or too niche
or that nobody would care about it,
I assure you that there are already coaches and courses
on pretty much everything out there
including Poker, StarCraft, yes, the video game,
knitting, oil painting.
I'm actually going through this program right now.
Motorcycle repair, photography and bread baking.
Whatever you choose though, one thing is for sure.
In order to make it work,
you're going to need to do a little bit of marketing for it,
maybe a lot of bit of marketing
which is what makes this next business idea
probably my favorite opportunity of all.
It is the one that I would choose
if I was starting a brand new business today.
There are 33.2 million small businesses in the US alone,
and they all have one thing in common.
They all need customers,
and if you could be the one to help them get more customers
then you could make a lot of money in return.
I mean a lot of money
which is what makes starting a lead generation agency
such a valuable, in demand and profitable business to start.
Now I don't wanna make any income claims here
or tell you that you're gonna get rich overnight
or anything like that,
so I do need to preface what I'm about to tell you
with a long list of legal disclaimers
about how all of what I'm about to tell you
is for entertainment purposes only.
Nothing I'm about to tell you is even remotely true.
You shouldn't take advice from me
or anyone else on the internet for that matter.
And in fact, you should probably just skip
the rest of this video and definitely do not subscribe.
Don't you do it.
Oh, don't you dare.
Okay, we cool?
Good, so with that out of the way, here's the deal.
Starting a lead generation agency where you do marketing
for other businesses in order to help them generate leads
and customers and sales
is possibly one of the greatest business models ever.
There's almost always high demand
as pretty much every business out there
regardless of market or industry
is always looking for more sales
in order to grow their business and increase their revenue.
It's scalable as a lead generation can easily scale up
simply by adopting new marketing channels,
expanding its service offering or targeting new markets.
There are very low startup costs,
and you can start just with yourself
or with a very small team, minimal equipment
and free or low-cost marketing software,
and then scale up as you acquire new clients
and your business grows.
It offers recurring revenue
as what you'll find is that many,
if not most of your clients
will prefer to form long-term relationships
in order to make sure that you continue providing them
with that steady and consistent flow of leads
that they've come to love and expect.
It's flexible and allows you to live and work
from pretty much anywhere that has an internet connection,
and it can be very lucrative
as all you need is 10 clients
at $1,000 a month each in order to generate $10 K a month,
or 20 clients at $5K a month
in order to generate $100,000 a month.
So to help you get started with that,
I've put together a video right here
that's gonna give you a step-by-step guide
showing you exactly how to start a digital marketing agency
of your very own.
So make sure to check that out now,
and I'll see you in there in just a second.
