While many potential female
entrepreneurs have great business ideas, what they sometimes lack are the means
and courage to try and bring some of these dreams to life. However, what if
this is something that could be done from home? On the one hand, this would
drastically reduce the operational overhead while at the same time causing less
mental burden, seeing as how working from home might end up being a less
strenuous experience.
The very nature of this form of
entrepreneurship makes it available for stay-at-home moms as well, which
further expands its reach and significance. With that in mind, here are top six
home-based business ideas for female entrepreneurs.
Freelance
writing
The thing about freelance
writing is that it’s much more diverse as a profession than it was ever before.
For starters, you can be a copywriter or a content writer, yet, at the same
time you can look towards creative writing options such as Ghostwriters or being a
self-publishing author. The best thing about this is that it only takes an
investment in form of time, while in no way requiring sizable financial
start-up investments. All you need is a computer or a smartphone (that you
already have), as well as writing software such as MS Word or its open source
alternative.
Start
a blog
Another great business idea is
to start a blog, seeing as how it gives you a plethora of money-making options,
a chance to work from home, as well as flexible work hours. Sure, blogging
takes a lot of time, especially if you write your own content. In fact, there’s
an estimate that an average time to write a blog post exceeds three full hours.
Nonetheless, these are the three hours you can span across three days, the same
way as you can do it in the morning or in the evening. This flexibility is also
great for full-time parents or those who currently have a day job.
Website
management
If you don’t want to work on
your own brand and develop your own content online, why don’t you simply try
your hand at website management? Here, your responsibilities would be to
increase your online presence through various means such as SEO, email- and
social media marketing. Apart from this, it will also be your job to schedule
content and gather feedback. Keep in mind that the latter needs to be tended to
as carefully as possible, and the fact that it’s as valuable on the local as it
is on the global level. For instance, for a New Zealand-based company, it’s
incredibly important to focus on media
monitoring New Zealand instead of making a presumption based on
brand mentions on a global level.
Virtual
assistant
One particular problem that a
lot of people have with the world of business is the steep learning curve that
each person entering it has to overcome. It would be far better for you to get
a chance to learn as much as you can in a way that requires you to undertake
less responsibility. Needless to say, this is exactly what the job of a virtual
assistant provides you with. In this way, you can get some necessary experience
at administrative tasks prior to starting your own enterprise.
Pet
sitting
Those with a bit more time and
passion for animals can offer services of a pet-sitter. The best thing about
this lies in the fact that you no longer have to look for clients on your own,
seeing as how there are so many platforms and apps out there to help you out.
This means that all you have to do is register and look for the clients in your
neighborhood.
Selling
items online
Finally, you can test how well
you would fare as a retailer by selling the items you make or have at your
disposal online. Websites like eBay and Amazon are your first two stops, yet, there
are other platforms out there worth exploring. Once you gain a momentum and
make a steady client base (provided you’re not selling one-time-buy kind of
items), you can consider making your own e-store. In this way, you can maximize
your profits by avoiding fees imposed by these third-party platforms. Some
prefer to sell items on their blog or turn it into an e-store over the course
of time, which is yet another consideration worth making.
Either way, the list of
opportunities goes on and on and there’s a sizable list of honorable mentions
full of ideas that are equally as great. All you have to do is look at your
predispositions, your budget, your inventory and your own free time before
finally opting for one of the opportunities on our list.
