10 Business Concepts That Will Be Profitable  

 
Having prospective possibilities in front of you may be the missing piece you need to move forward if you have the entrepreneurial itch but are unsure of which business concept to pursue.
 
Low income and limited opportunities for career progression, according to new Pew Data Center research, were the main causes of employee job turnover in 2021. Many professionals are looking at alternative career paths; if you are one of them, you may have recognized that the best thing you can do for your career is to invest in starting your own business.
 
Living the BYOB lifestyle—which stands for “becoming your own boss,” of course—can be a viable strategy for achieving financial freedom. Which business venture, however, is best for you?
 
Here are 10 tried-and-true company concepts to get you started if you’re prepared to advance in your entrepreneurial career.
 
No. 1: Create an Online Course  

 
In 2020, the e-learning market was worth $250 billion, and by 2027, it is expected to be worth $1 trillion. Online courses feature modest initial expenses and large profit margins when you hit the mark if you have a computer and something to say that can benefit people.
 
But in order for an online course to succeed, you need a customer base, and customer bases can take years to develop. Marketplaces for online courses like Skillshare can be a terrific method to get past the problem of “no audience yet.” Liana M. Douillet Guzmán, chief marketing officer of Skillshare, asserts that your online course doesn’t need to be as long as you might believe in order to be successful.
 
“The best way to succeed as a Skillshare instructor is creating engaging content that is digestible, project-based, and personal,” she says. “Most of our classes include an hour or so of pre-recorded video content broken down into a series of short 2-5 minute videos. Rather than teaching a broad, sweeping skill set, the most successful classes hone in on one specific concept or skill.”
 
“Once you make and upload your content, you can continue to make passive income with no additional work,” says Guzmán. “We find that most teachers love the community on our platform and engage with students long after the class has been posted. As a teacher, you get paid from a royalty pool based on the number of minutes members watch your class – and as the number of classes a teacher posts increases, so does the opportunity for members to watch your content, incentivizing teachers to keep building their presence on Skillshare and become a successful online creator.”
 
Guzmán points out that even just one class or workshop can result in a sizable amount of residual income.
 
The average monthly salary for our best teachers on the platform is $2,000, and some of them can cover their rent with the proceeds from just one lesson.
 
No. 2: Rent or Lease Out Existing Assets  
When Airbnb first appeared in 2008, the concept of spending a weekend in a stranger’s house seemed weird and foreign. Nearly 15 years later, the “sublet economy” has taken over the world, and a plethora of “Airbnb for X” firms exist to assist people in converting their existing properties into profitable ventures. Recent “sublet economy” choices include:
 
RVnGO, a platform for renting out your RV (or booking one for an upcoming road trip) Turo, the world’s largest car sharing marketplace Spacer, a marketplace for garages and parking spaces Swimply, a subletting platform to rent someone’s pool  
No. 3: White Label a Beauty or Wellness Product  
A health or skincare product’s creation from scratch can be a time-consuming and costly endeavor. Have you researched all FDA laws in case your upcoming genius invention fits this description? In many businesses, multi-year schedules for new goods are not rare.
 
When starting out, white labeling a product can be a wise compromise. White labeling is a wonderful complement for salon or spa owners, stylists, and beauty influencers who want to put their own branding to tried-and-true formulations, according to JBK Wellness Labs, an Inc. 5000 firm.
 
“Choosing to white label high quality formulas provides an opportunity to capture increased revenue in retail sales with products that carry higher profit margins,” says Dr. Jenelle Kim, JBK Wellness Labs’ Founder & Chief Formulator. “Additionally, the products you sell to your clients can’t be repurchased on e-commerce sites, leading to increased visits to your location.”
 
No. 4: Start Freelancing  
Millions of independent contractors have augmented their income or even made a career working remotely thanks to online job markets like Upwork and Fiverr. Another indication of the radical change in employment options is the recent debut of LinkedIn’s Services Marketplace.
 
Are you a writer? Are you skilled in coding, video, or social media? You may be surprised by the response if you offer your skills online in places where employers are looking for candidates. Even if you lack specific skills, having an eye for detail will help; there is a high demand for virtual assistants, and your clients will tell you exactly what they need done.
 
If you want to increase your income but aren’t ready or interested in quitting your 9–to–5 job just yet, freelancing is a fantastic compromise. Contrary to conventional assumption, many prosperous business owners tested their concept as a side gig and confirmed their value proposition before taking the plunge.
 
No. 5: Break Into the Creator Economy  
Recently, many internet companies, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Snap, set aside money to distribute to creators. Big digital platforms are interested in paying you to produce quality content online if you love doing it and have something to say.
 
Before you can monetize on the majority of sites, you often need to gain some traction. These barriers help ensure new accounts don’t come in and try to game the system from day one. For instance, on YouTube, Partner Program requirements state that channel owners “need to be in good standing with YouTube, have 4,000 valid public watch hours in the previous 12 months, and at least 1,000 subscribers.”
 
According to marketing strategist Adam Erhart, who has over 100,000 YouTube followers, the time it takes to reach these benchmarks varies by sector and platform. But you have total control over the content creation aspect.
 
“Where you do have choice on a platform like YouTube is in how quickly you want to produce and publish your videos,” he says. “For simple math, let’s say you need to publish 30 videos on your channel to hit certain subscriber and watch time benchmarks. You have control over how fast you want to reach that threshold; it could take a year, six months, or even 30 days if you wanted to go crazy with it.”
 
“Those first few dollars are incredibly motivating and powerful because they provide proof that you’re doing something right.”
 
Erhart also mentions that one error rookie producers frequently make is concentrating too much on producing material that is all about them rather than what viewers truly want to watch.
 
“If you’ve done your research on what types of videos other people in your niche are creating, you’ll go into the filming process with a clear idea of what video you’re making and why,” he says. “Most creators skip this step, and that’s why their videos tank when they publish.”
 
No. 6: Host a Group Program  
Want to collaborate with a large group of clients or consumers simultaneously? Offer a live group program with a clear beginning and ending.
 
Since the beginning of the epidemic, virtual group activities have proliferated, with online book clubs, social clubs, and fitness challenges swiftly evolving into workable business models. When promoting a group program, emphasize how working in a group setting fosters greater camaraderie (and is frequently more affordable) than working one-on-one.
 
Pro tip: Test your online course idea as a group program or live workshop series first if it isn’t quite ready. This aids in ironing out any flaws and allows you to observe firsthand what clients’ true needs and wants are, as well as how they use the tools and concepts you give to them. Additionally, it prevents you from creating and releasing an online course that no one wants.
 
No. 7: Become an Affiliate for Your Favorite Brands  
If creating your own service, program, or product sounds daunting, think about building upon someone person’s tested offer instead. Although multi-level marketing frauds and pyramid schemes have given affiliate marketing a poor reputation, many legitimate companies and pieces of software use referral links to expand their customer bases.
 
Consider how you might differentiate your marketing efforts when considering an affiliate marketing strategy. In this case, everyone is selling the same thing, so come up with unique strategies to separate out from the throng.
 
No. 8: Launch a Paid Newsletter or Subscription  
Some professionals are deciding to launch their own paid subscription services as creators. You can start your own specialty media company with just an internet connection if you can produce material quickly that is interesting or beneficial to others.
 
Similar business strategies are used by platforms like Patreon and Substack, which let content creators sell directly to their followers while keeping a portion of the sale. The Information published its Creator Economy database last year, indicating that U.S.-based creator firms received several billion dollars in funding in 2021. This business model has Silicon Valley buzzing.
 
No. 9: Offer Home Delivery Services  
Many of us have grown accustomed to remaining at home and having products delivered right to our doorstep during the last two years. A completely new realm of home delivery services has since emerged.
 
Do you believe that there is a need in your neighborhood for certain people to regularly get goods or services delivered to their homes? If the answer is yes, you may already be in possession of your next successful business concept.
 
Here, the sky is the limit. My dog won’t use the stairs or the elevator at my fifth-floor Los Angeles condo, so every two weeks a sod delivery service comes and drops off fresh grass on our balcony. Yes, this really exists, and it’s well worth the money. Don’t be scared to get creative here. There’s a saying in pricing psychology: “The premium you charge is the value you create.”
 
No. 10: Get Into E-Commerce  
Because of the enormous growth of the e-commerce sector and the availability of technologies like Shopify and Fulfillment by Amazon, it is now simpler than ever to launch your revolutionary product in a matter of weeks or months rather than years. In fact, e-commerce businesses are in such high demand that aggregators with venture capital funding like Thrasio and Perch have exploded into the market with the express purpose of acquiring your product-based company. Making your own products also provides you the chance to develop a brand identity as you go.
 
A word of caution: The last two years have been a logistical nightmare. Sometimes, the success of e-commerce depends greatly on the efficiency of global supply networks. If you go with this strategy, familiarize yourself with the manufacturing and shipping requirements that your business will be in charge of meeting.
 
Any tangible product needs time to smooth out the kinks, but once your marketing and shipping efforts are optimized, sales and profits will start to flow. And when you think about it, each of the aforementioned examples also fit this description. You can find yourself in the CEO chair sooner than you think if you put yourself out there and attempt something new this year.
