Excited right ? 😎
let’s explore business together.
Well, technically I’m supposed to give 10 most effective business start up ideas which you can start anytime with zero investment however since its my first blog, I’ll share few extra business expansion tips at the end of this blog as takeaway.You’ll definitely get some vision after reading this whole thing.
Moving forward, few things you need to note down before you start working on your start up. This is not a short term goal to achieve, it takes time to form a brand value. You can’t expect to earn money after 10 days of starting a business. Dedication is needed, you have to be consistent if your target is fixed. Let’s not get bored with my TED talks lite versioned suggestions 😅 any further.
▪️10 Zero Investment Startup Ideas.
▪️1. Partner with a drop-shipper
Probably the most significant advantage of dropshipping is the fact that your business belongs to you. You don’t need to play by somebody else’s rules. At first you need to choose a niche, perform competitor product research. There after find a reputable drop shipping supplier (or you can play the role of supplier if you want), build your online store using Facebook or Instagram whichever you prefer. Market your drop shipping business.
Some websites through which you can find suppliers-
Expected income at initial level after a year-240,000/- to 360,000/-.
At first start with partnering a drop shipping company then with the profit amount you can start your drop shipping company in your locality. Eventually expand that with time.
Some of companies are-

▪️2. Blogger/YouTuber/Instagram influencer
I don’t think I need to explain the success rate of a YouTuber or an Instagram influencer. I’m not against of job but as a side hustle, using social network is the best possible way to achieve success. At the beginning, it’s eminent that you’re not going to earn much from social media platforms. Eventually with consistency after 3rd year of your journey you’ll get the reach you could never imagine. Offline services have certain limitations hence it’ll give you certain stability in life , on the other hand using the power of social media you can get limitless achievements. Not only it’ll make your bank balance stronger but also it’ll give you immense recognition.
There are some amazing domains that catch more eyeballs, choose correctly and then get started. You can earn through brand deals, google Adsense, affiliate marketing. (I’ll discuss these domains further in another blog)
✔️Virtual game streaming
I won’t mention virtual gamers here because that will cost you a proper Monitor or laptop. But there are other games available which you can play on mobiles and still can earn money by game streaming.
YouTube gaming: It is one of the dominating live game streaming platforms. The site enables creators to generate good revenue because of its collaborations with google Adsense.
✔️YouTuber
Even if you have a phone, you can shoot videos through your phone camera. Mostly vloggers make videos through their phones. Few of best domains are vlogging, fashion, roasting, tech, food, news updates, music/dance/art, prank, opinion hosting, product review, tutorials.
✔️Instagram influencer
Not always Instagram is used for stalking crush, there’s another huge side of it. Yes you can make money through Instagram. For that you need to have more than 1000 followers to approach a low end brand. Gradually when the follower number crosses 50k, you start to get high high end brand approaches. You can earn money through paid collaboration where the brand will send you products and pay your charge to review that. Also there are non paid collaborations where the brand will send you products through PR and you are supposed to review it. Albeit, getting followers on Instagram demands consistency and engagement. You can invest some amount to get your reach higher but we are talking about zero investment things hence I’d link some influencers who made it organically without spending a money.
✔️Blogger
You can setup your online blog for free on a CMS like WordPress and generate content. Earnings will come through sponsored posts, ads, and product sales.
Some of blogging sites are,
Expected income at initial level - 96k to 100k/ year .
Expected income after 3-4 years- 100k to 300k / month.

▪️3.Running a shared cloud kitchen/Tiffin service
Another way to turn a profit from the boom in food delivery is to operate a cloud kitchen as a business in itself. More and more entrepreneurs are renting kitchen space to multiple third party brands, acting like a co-working space and incubator for food producers.
This model involves acting more like a landlord rather than a food producer. Although you need to become more hands-on in helping to promote and provide service for the brands who rent your kitchen if you want them to succeed. Benefits of cloud kitchen is enormous like low cost, working on demand, reliance on third party delivery app and competing in a crowded digital market place.
Few of the websites are
You can take reference from these websites. You’ll get an overall idea about cloud kitchens.
🔳Tip.1
(Now coming to another important point which people don’t really talk about that often, you can start a company where you can supply raw materials to restaurants or cloud kitchens which are run through food apps like swiggy or zomato. )
You can supply tiffin in areas where food apps don’t take orders. Or if you love cooking, you can use WhatsApp to create your own client’s group and start daily food system.
Expected income at initial level- 360k to 400k /year.
▪️4.Pet supply store online
Do you know there are plenty of people out there who think that having a pet is even better than having a partner. Just kidding xD. Albeit, pets are always amazing to have beside.
You can start this as a start up, where you’ll supply clients a new friend online. Yes I’m talking about a pet. You can also arrange veterinary care providers near you and send the contact details along with the pet . Few of pet supply websites are -

Expected income at initial level- 30k /month.
▪️5.Online services( graphic design/CVwriting/ppt making/digital marketing)
Travel agencies are there , but can you book tickets online? If you can do that for yourself, why can’t you make that a business? Not only ticket bookings, you can form online maid agency where you’ll provide helpers . Hotel bookings even arranging photographers online, anything is possible with Internet.
If you know how to do graphic designs, start with freelancing. If you’re good at writing your CV then make it your side hustle and build your brand. There are marketers who don’t get enough time to sell products online, you can do that for them with a high margin of commission.There are school kids who make power point presentations as their school projects, you can help them making that. Start with making an official page and then approach crowd. This will build your communication skill as well. Ultimately win-win thing it is.
🔳Tip-2
If you’re interested to learn graphic designing, there’s a free course available on Www.coursera.org for 7 days probably. You can start with this.

Expected income at initial level (cv/ppt/graphic design)-30k-35k/month.
Expected income at initial level(digital marketing)-50k to 100k /month.
🔳Tip.3
Best part is, you can learn digital marketing with google itself and it’s completely free. You can start with this -Learndigital.withgoogle.com
▪️6. Online car dealership/photo or video editing/ PR
✔️Car dealership-
This is another low cost but extremely amazing way to start your business. Albeit there are showrooms available,
where few people still would want to purchase through a middle man when it comes to second hand dealings. If you think you have adequate knowledge of vehicles you can start dealing. Few of websites for reference are
Expected income at initial level-38k to 40k/month.
✔️PR business-
Another way of earning from side hustle is PR business. As I discussed earlier there are homes of team available which works just like HR of companies. Brands come to Personal Relationship makers and PR hunts for popular influencers to review the product on their channels. You can form your team of PR and earn commission through that.

Expected income at initial level-45k to 50k/month.
✔️Video editing-
Same thing goes for video or photo editing, few influencers don’t get enough time hence they prefer to work with a team of technicians. You can start with freelancing and then approach influencers with your CV.

Expected income at initial level-35k to 45k/month.
▪️7. Create digital product/course or start online tutor business
Creating a course might cost you some penny but with the help of other platforms like WhatsApp or telegram you can make your own course. If you’re good at something as in music,dance,fitness,nutrition or even career consultation or if you’re a medical student/professional you can start your own private course to enlighten others about health and health related issues. There are platforms like google meets, zoom where you can interact through virtual meetings.
Expected income at initial level-depends on the person
On the other side, there are online study channels available on YouTube where students can’t interact with their tutors or the platforms where it’s possible to interact, but that becomes expensive to afford, hence you can create your platform where you can arrange and patch the contacts of students as well as teachers. You can earn commission through that. So that the tuition fees remain feasible and affordable with high chances of getting crowd.
Expected income at initial level-20k to 25k/ year
▪️8. Online laundry
Washing clothes are fine but at times there are materials which we can’t wash at home so mostly we depend on the laundry services. You can arrange the entire laundry system on your own and take orders online or you can just contact laundry owners of your locality and deliver the clothes to them for washing and return back to customers. Both ways it can be a nice zero investment start up.
Expected income at initial level-40k to 45k/ month.
▪️9.Event management/wedding planner/florist
Event management agency business requests unrivalled authoritative and planning skills.
Graduating from school in events management or a related major is a plus, however it's not required necessity. In event management counseling business, your major customers are corporations, institutes, couples, religious associations, political candidates NGO's and so on as weddings. You can be a part of this whole event management team if you choose to make a team of caterer or florist who’ll only execute the part of flower decorations.

(One of bakery owners I recently met is Sharmistha’s handmade chocolates )
Lastly I wanna share few key points, you can always start your business as a side hustle because if it doesn’t click by any chance you’ll have something to fall back on. Besides studies or job you can do business and even that’s how I started. Now business is growing in such a pace I could never even expect within one year. (I’ll discuss about my startup in my upcoming blogs.)
◾️Few things you need to keep in mind before starting
1. Grow slowly but it’ll pay you back for sure.
2. Balance studies with business. Don’t neglect studies.
3. You can start business at any point of your life .
4. Choose a niche which you enjoy.
5. Make long term plans.
6. Focus on short term activities wait for long term achievements.
7. You need to sacrifice something to achieve something.
8. Entertainment is important but don’t waste your time way too much into all these. At the end of day ask yourself how you made your day prolific.
9. It’s possible to work in multiple domains. People who say focus on one thing at a time. Listen to that but life doesn’t provide you enough time to spend time on one thing at a time.
10. Go for stability but don’t become a part of mediocrity. Mediocrity doesn’t define your financial state, the moment you stop upgrading yourself that’s when you invite mediocrity.
