Making money feels good. yeah. It does, but do you have to spend money to make money? Find out now.

In this article, I’ll discuss six ways to start a small Business from scratch without spending a dime. Surprised?

Starting a profitable business with no capital is possible, and there are several jobs in this category that pay even more than those that require capital. Are you still surprised?

Perhaps you are having difficulties working with your current or previous employer and would like to start your own business but lack the necessary capital. Here are five business ideas to get you started.

Social Media Management

For businesses looking to engage and communicate with online prospects, Social Media provides large platforms. As a result, approximately 90% of small, medium, and large businesses use social media to improve their online presence and brand.

If you can provide Social Media Management services for a competitive price, you are at a significant advantage. This service can be provided from home or in-office. You only need to be trendy and proficient in social media marketing tools.

Tutoring at Home

I advertised on a classified website in 2017 to offer private home tutoring services for adults or seniors when I resigned from my teaching job to focus on my private business. Since 2017, I have received numerous calls and it is surprising that even at the time of writing this article, 11th Feb, 2023, I received a call to offer private tutoring but had to turn it down because the location was too far away.

Many people require home tutoring for themselves, their children, or their elderly relatives. You are the perfect tutor for them.

Delivery Services

Another viable option is to provide delivery services. There are people who are always on the go, and providing delivery services to their door will be extremely beneficial.

You can go from home to home or office to office and convince them why they need your services, especially if they are too busy at work or too lazy to go out and get things. Some homes are too busy to cater for grocery shopping or running errands at the parcel office, you will be the saviour to help carry out these services at a fee.

Selling on Facebook marketplace or other classified online marketplace 

You can start small by selling off your used stuffs or handmade artefacts like beads, bags, slippers etc. Services like typing, private tutoring, virtual assistance, writing services etc can be listed there.

Selling on these ecommerce platforms are free. Some examples of classified marketplace are jiji, tonaton, craigslist, locanto, ebay etc
