30Sep

Hello, dear readers! Today I want to talk about a business with minimal investment or micro-business. And also give some business ideas. Very often I am asked the question of how you can start a business with minimal investment (usually from zero to 50,000 rubles).

I’ll say right away that this is possible, but you need to find your own idea and try small. Today I will try to answer this question and I really hope that you will draw your own conclusions.

Microbusiness - what is it and why you need to start small

When you were born, you didn’t immediately say the first word, didn’t immediately take the first step, then why do you think that in business you should immediately open a bank, a car dealership or a large supermarket? You may have a desire to do something big, but try to tune your brain to what you and your wallet can handle at the moment. And when the brain starts working towards goals that are closer to reality, then ideas will come to you like a river.

After all, as a rule, they are all in front of your nose. And when you started small and took on some very small business, you can expand it to medium and large scales.

And this very small business is microbusiness! You can be micro-businessmen, freelancing, producing something at home, resell some goods, or provide services. You will be very small at first, but as time passes, your growth will accelerate.

Did you know that the world's most famous snack bar, Subway, used to be just one small outlet, but now has tens of thousands of eateries around the world? And if the founders had not opened this one diner, if they had not started small, then this multi-million dollar company would not have existed!

In general, in America, every tenth person is engaged in a micro-business, producing something in a garage, selling something, etc., but in Russia this is just beginning to emerge. You have every chance!

Most of you want to do something of your own, to leave a job you don’t like, to start living better, to be more free, to later make a big business, etc. So for these purposes, micro-business is quite enough.

Many people are engaged in business and earn only a little more than the average salary, but they are happy that they are doing an interesting job and are independent, without depending on anyone.

In microbusiness, interest is important, and love is better! Because microbusiness is built on your passion for activity. If you like your business, then you can do it even for small income. The most important thing for you now is to understand that you can start small and think about what interests you. And only then think about how you can get money from your interest. You will say that I am pushing banality to you and you will be right, but if you learn this and you will succeed!

How to start a business with minimal investment

Now let's move on to the fact that it is possible to open a business with minimal investment and, moreover, it is necessary! You don’t need large investments to open a microbusiness. To get started you only need 4 things:

1. Think about what you like and what you could realistically do (make a rough list right now, then add to it);
2. Think about how to benefit from your interest. Just think about whether your business could be useful to someone.
3. See if your available money is enough for this. If it’s not enough, then return to point No. 1 and go again.

And the fourth is the most difficult! And even if it doesn’t work out, you still did what you like, you didn’t lose anything. And even if they invested money, it was very little!

Important! When you want to eat and you only have 50 rubles in your pocket (I had this, I don’t know about you), you buy what you have enough money for and satisfy your body’s need for food. But, you must admit that if you had 1000 rubles, you would buy something more tasty. It’s the same thing at the beginning of your micro-business. If you have little money, then try to make the maximum profit out of it. You must satisfy your need - start! If you manage to do something with little money, then later you will move mountains with big money. Will you burn out? Get great experience for little money!

Living examples of business with small investments

I'll start with myself, and then move on to my cool comrades;)

• I opened my first website (a blog) with 1000 rubles in my pocket. Immediately followed by a second one for 500 rubles. Total 1500 rub. After 3 months, both sites began to bring in a total of 3,000 rubles per month, then 5,000 rubles, then 10, and so on until 15,000 rubles. After a year and a half, I sold one of them for a tidy sum, and the second one remained with my partner.
• I opened a website development studio without any investment at all. She also brought me a little 10,000-30,000 rubles a month. But that’s because I had to pay designers and layout designers.
• The service for selling tweets, likes and everything else was opened for 7,000 rubles, paid for itself in 2 days. Brought 40,000 rubles. per month and was sold.
• The blog you are reading now was started with 500 rubles, and now it is also generating income.
• We opened an online store of bags with 80,000 - 100,000 rubles, and recouped the money invested within 2 months, from the moment the goods arrived. From the age of 3 months he was already bringing in clean money and continues to this day.
• Now another interesting project is being prepared, although the investment is larger, but still not millions.

Well, all about myself. What do you want? They thought I was running a business with millions in income. No! I'm a micro-businessman! The assets, of course, are not worth a single million, but this is a matter of time, experience, desire and interest! I’m not bragging, much less there’s nothing to brag about, I just want to show by my example that you can start small!

Now let's move on to others:

• The same “SubWay” that I mentioned above was opened with an initial investment of $1000. It is now a multi-million dollar business with tens of thousands of eateries around the world.
• A friend of mine created several public pages on VK a long time ago, spending only 2000 rubles on advertising. and soon one of them gained popularity to a million subscribers, then more, etc. Income more than 100,000 rubles. clean per month.
• My parents started selling cereals at the street market when I was 5-7 years old, investing some money in the goods. Every year there was more money in circulation, there were more retail outlets, the assortment was expanding and everything was only increasing. Now, of course, they have a staff, they tried other types of business, in general they developed as best they could and continue to develop to this day.
• The founder of the JivoSite service (an online consultant for websites), Timur Valishev, invested 150,000 rubles in it, and now his service has thousands of paying clients.
• The same situation is with almost all the founders of public pages and websites. Little was invested in all of them, but now it brings a lot.

One conclusion can be drawn. Starting a business with minimal investment is more than possible, you just need to want, think and do it!

And here, by the way, is a video interview with Timur Valishev (JivoSite) and Sergei Baryshnikov (Bigpicture site). I advise you to look:

What types of businesses with small investments are relevant in 2018 and will work in 2019?

Look towards those businesses that are on the market and in demand. Would you say there is competition there? Yes, and that's good. Where it doesn’t exist, you won’t be able to enter with minimal investment, because you need to present your product to people and accustom them to it.

1. Pay attention to the service sector! Services have lower costs, no warehouses, goods, etc. are needed. You can provide services yourself without initially hiring staff. By the way, I wrote an article about this on how to start.
2. Try selling goods from China.
3. I already wrote an article about, and there is also a section about. There you will always find working ideas for business with minimal investment.
4. will only develop, so you can pay attention to it. Also consider the option.
5. Those who live in small towns can watch.
6. Pay attention to online business or, for example, freelancing. This direction will continue to develop for a long time.

Also, some ideas can be implemented without any investment at all. These ideas are universal; they will suit both women and men. And you can expand inside them to make your own unique product or service.

Remember that almost every business needs it, but at first you can do without it in order to test the idea. After the test, this procedure is mandatory.

And to organize a business, an article about a step-by-step plan from scratch will help you!

Business idea No. 1. Selling products from one-page sites

This business is now very relevant and brought good money in 2018 and will bring in 2019 (and even longer). And it’s possible to start it with minimal investment.

The idea is to sell products online from one-page sites (landing pages).

For this:

1. a trendy product that is currently in good demand is selected from suppliers (in China or Russia);
2. one or more one-page websites are created;
3. advertising starts;
4. and sales are underway.

My colleague Roman Kolesnikov successfully makes money from this. We even did an article with him on. Read it and understand the essence of this business idea with minimal investment.

Business idea No. 2. Business selling goods from China

I also tried this profitable business on myself and it brings good profits. It's no secret that now you can buy goods from China at very low prices and sell them here in Russia. Many people are now using this and business is gaining momentum.

The business idea is that you buy goods from China cheaply, and in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, etc. sell for more. On goods from China, you can make a markup from 50 to 300% on average, which indicates a good profit.

I have a section about . In it I share my experience and ideas for a business with minimal investment selling goods from China. There you will also find many instructions on how to order products, how to sell them, etc.

Business idea No. 3. Dropshipping

You can start this type of business even without investment! It consists in the fact that you sell goods that you do not have in stock. Yes exactly.

Dropshipping is a direct delivery from a supplier to a customer. You act as a middleman, collecting orders from customers and passing them on to the supplier. The supplier sends purchases directly to your customers on your behalf. As a result, you earn the difference between the price from the supplier and the price at which you sold the product to the client.

Difficult to understand the first time? Then read in detail about and how to make money on it.

Business idea No. 4. Selling goods on Avito

This is the simplest business idea with minimal investment, or even no investment at all. Its essence is to sell absolutely any goods on the Avito.ru bulletin board.

It is good because it is suitable even for a beginner, and investments may not be required at all. To work, you need to purchase goods that you will sell on Avito. But you can start by making money by selling a few of your unnecessary things. Thus, you will already have money to purchase the necessary goods.

Business idea No. 5. Inexpensive Chinese cosmetics

You buy inexpensive cosmetics in China and sell them in Russia. Such products can be distributed both through social networks, online stores, and by offering them offline (i.e. in person).

Every woman dreams of a large cosmetic bag filled to the brim with decorative cosmetics. But this dream does not always become a reality due to the high prices for such products. You can help with this by offering the product a little cheaper than in stores. Thanks to this, you will have many clients who will want to buy several lipsticks and other products at once.

In order for such a business to generate income, you need to analyze the decorative cosmetics market and select the most popular products. Then compare prices on Chinese and Russian sites. Based on this, you choose the most popular and cost-effective cosmetics and order them at wholesale prices. After receiving the goods, you begin selling it in a way convenient for you.

The amount of profit directly depends on the cosmetics sold. If you buy an eyeshadow palette at a price of 400 rubles, and sell it for 900 rubles, then the income will be 500 rubles. from one unit of goods.

Business idea No. 6. Organization of holidays

The essence of the business idea is as follows: you offer your client to organize a holiday for him for a fee. This could be a wedding, birthday, celebration of some special occasion, etc. The list of services provided (search for premises, its design, musical accompaniment, etc.) is agreed upon in advance and specified in the contract.

This is a truly profitable business that does not require huge capital. It will always be up to date, because... people organize holidays regularly. All you need is organizational skills, a certain amount of free time, and the ability to find a common language with people.

Having an office is not a prerequisite, because... You can meet with the customer on neutral territory. Thus, with minimal investment you can earn decent money.

To implement the idea, you need to create a team of a toastmaster, a photographer and a DJ. To legalize such a business, it is necessary to open an individual entrepreneur. After that, find a client and offer your services.

Earnings from organizing holidays can be unstable. It all depends on the number of celebrations, their scope and the specifics of the services provided.

Business idea No. 7. Organization of non-standard tours

You create an interesting, unique travel itinerary, which differs as much as possible from standard tourist tours, and offer it to the client. He buys a ticket, and you, in turn, deal with all organizational issues and support him throughout the trip.

Non-standard tourism has recently become very popular. More and more often people choose just such tours, because... They were tired of the usual and boring holiday. There will always be clients who love active recreation, eco-tourism, etc. Moreover, creating such a business requires minimal investment, experience in the tourism sector and organizing skills.

In order to organize non-standard tours, you need to rent a room, become an individual entrepreneur, hire employees (this is not necessary at the beginning of work), and distribute advertising. In addition, you will have to create several interesting tours that are suitable for different segments of the population.

Monthly income depends on the number of vouchers sold, as well as their cost. Therefore, earnings at the beginning of such activities may be unstable.

Business idea No. 8. Makeup, makeup, hairstyle

The essence of the business idea is this: After training in specialized courses, you provide your services for creating hairstyles or various types of makeup to everyone.

The services of a makeup artist and hairdresser have always been and will be in demand. All because every girl wants to be beautiful, both on holidays and on weekdays. Thanks to this, hairdressers and makeup artists always have enough work.

To realize your idea, you need to fill out the necessary papers and become an individual entrepreneur. After that, purchase the necessary tools and start offering your services to your friends. At the beginning, you may have to work for free, but this way you will get your hands on it and find many clients thanks to word of mouth.

Income from such activities may be unstable. In the summer there are always more clients, thanks to the wedding season, although there are many holidays throughout the year and you will not be left without work.

Business idea No. 9. Santa Claus

The essence of such a business idea is as follows: you are looking for actors who will agree to play the role of fairy-tale characters, developing a script and finding clients who are interested in the service offered. On the specified day, Father Frost visits the children and gives a performance.

Not a single New Year is complete without Father Frost and Snow Maiden. They are invited home, to kindergartens and schools. The demand for New Year's performances is very high and often the actors are not able to provide services to everyone. Therefore, “Santa Claus” is the most profitable business during the New Year holidays.

To implement such an idea, it is necessary to find actors or people with artistic talent, rent costumes, write a script and distribute advertising.

This type of income is seasonal. Profit depends on the number of performances, actors' salaries and other expenses. After the end of the winter holidays, you can continue to collaborate with the staff and perform at children's parties, but as other fairy-tale characters.

Business idea No. 10. Club “Mafia”

The essence of this business idea is as follows: you find 8-12 people who love and want to play “Mafia”, solve all organizational issues, and host the game. Each player pays a certain amount of money to participate.

The game "Mafia" is becoming more and more popular every year. This is because young people want to diversify their daily lives. And such a pastime allows you not only to relax, but also helps you make new acquaintances and have an interesting time. Such a business requires minimal investment, and can generate income with enviable regularity.

In order to organize such a club, you need to register an individual entrepreneur, find a quiet cafe and book a corner table for 10-12 people. After this, purchase 2 copies of the board game “Mafia” and find participants (usually via the Internet). All that remains is to play the game and count the money earned.

The income from organizing a club is quite easy to calculate. On average, participation in such fun costs about 300 rubles, and the number of participants is 12. 8 games are held per month. Hence, monthly earnings are 300*12*8=28,800 rubles.

Business idea No. 11. Photographer (children’s, wedding)

The essence of the business idea: You, having the talent of a photographer and all the necessary equipment, offer to organize a photo shoot for potential clients. If you agree, conduct a photo session, edit the pictures and provide the client with the finished product.

A photograph is an invaluable memory that can last a lifetime. People try to capture the brightest moments of life. Therefore, the work of a photographer is always in demand. Especially if he specializes in wedding and children's photography. Wedding photography is distinguished by its scale, which means it brings in a lot of profit, and children’s photography is ordered regularly, because... the child grows and changes.

To start your work activity you need:

• register an individual entrepreneur;
• buy professional equipment;
• create a portfolio;
• advertise yourself;

Income from such activities can be either regular or irregular. At first, profits will be unstable, but as your customer base expands, people will come to you at any time of the year with various offers.

Business idea No. 12. Photo studio

The essence of the business idea is this: If you can and love to take photographs, edit pictures, and use a PC, then the ideal way to earn money is a photo studio. You open it and perform various photo services.

Almost every document requires a photograph. That's why people regularly take photographs for documents. This is the main source of income for such a business. In addition, a photo studio can offer a lot of services, from printing photographs to creating photo books. Having such a business, you can be confident in the future, due to a wide range of services that will always be profitable.

To create a photo studio, you will have to register as an individual entrepreneur, rent a room in a crowded place, acquire the necessary equipment, and hire staff. To increase customers, you can distribute advertising.

The profit that a photo studio will bring throughout the year may vary. During the period from May to October, the amount of income is slightly higher than in other months due to the demand for photographs for documents. But it can be equalized by increasing the range of services offered.

Business idea No. 13. Manicure, pedicure, sugaring at home, or in an inexpensive small room

The essence of the business idea is as follows: you master the skills of manicure, pedicure, sugaring, after which you acquire all the necessary materials, tools and begin to give joy to your clients. You can work both from home and in rented premises.

At the beginning of your working life, your income will be small, but it will increase with the advent of new clients.

Business idea No. 14. Glowing paint: cars, jewelry, buildings, interior, etc.

The essence of the business idea: you provide services for painting wheels and other machine parts with luminous paint, paint and sell paving slabs, finishing materials that glow in the dark.

It is very difficult to surprise modern people, but, nevertheless, there are those who always want to stand out.

Glowing paint is a new and promising direction. Competition in the market for such a product is minimal, so the profitability of the idea is guaranteed.

To create such a business, you need to register as an individual entrepreneur and choose the specifics of your work. If you like car painting, then buy materials and tools for car decoration.

Business idea No. 15. Repair of household appliances

The essence of the business idea is as follows: You know how to repair household appliances and offer your services to clients. For a fee, you go to the office or home and fix equipment malfunctions.

Household appliances always break down at the most inopportune moment. Very often, repairing large-sized equipment (refrigerator, washing machine, etc.) is very problematic due to inconvenient transportation and high expenses for it. Therefore, for many people it is much more profitable to call a specialist to their home. This significantly reduces client costs and saves time.

To start your work activity, you need to register an individual entrepreneur, purchase the necessary tools (you may already have them) and advertise your services by posting advertisements, distributing leaflets, etc. All that remains is to wait for clients and gain a good reputation.

Therefore, thousands of new websites are created every day, offering a lot of goods and services. It is profitable for sellers to sell products using this method because of the wide target audience.

The amount of income depends on the number of completed orders and their value.

Business idea No. 17. Bathroom restoration

The essence of the business idea: You, having the necessary materials and tools for bathtub restoration, find a client who is interested in this service. Discuss all the details, sign the contract and complete the order.

Replacing a bathtub is a costly and time-consuming undertaking. Often people either don’t have the opportunity to buy a new one, or don’t want to dismantle the old bathtub. It is for them that there is a top coating restoration service. This saves the family budget and also saves the owner from a lot of problems. Therefore, customers are much more likely to restore bathtubs than to buy new ones.

In order to start working and give a second life to the bathtub, you will have to officially register an individual entrepreneur and choose a restoration method. This determines what tools and materials need to be purchased. After all the acquisitions, all that remains is to conduct an advertising campaign and wait for clients to call.

Most people have long realized that sports help you feel young and healthy. That's why they go to gyms in droves. Many people choose group training, but they may not bring the desired result, because... designed for the average person. Then a private fitness trainer comes to the rescue. It helps you create an individual program, so you achieve better results in the shortest possible time. Apart from this, private coaching is very popular.

To work productively, a trainer needs to be able to work on exercise machines, know the characteristics of the human body and understand how weight is lost and muscles are pumped up.

For many dog ​​breeds, clothing is not a whim of the owner, but a necessity. It helps protect your pet from bad weather and prevents hypothermia. Therefore, owners of short-haired dog breeds always buy new clothes for their pets during the cold season. Clothes for dogs are quite expensive due to the specifics of the product. Although there is very little material, the only equipment you need is a sewing machine.

To sew clothes for dogs, you need to have sewing equipment (scissors, threads, needles, etc.), material, a sewing machine, patterns (can be found on the Internet), a desire to work and some free time.

It is not difficult to calculate the approximate profit from 1 product. On average, one suit costs about 2,000 rubles, and the cost of material is 500 rubles. Hence the net income is 1500 rubles.

Business idea No. 25. Furniture for pets

The essence of the business idea is as follows: you analyze the pet furniture market, produce the most popular models and sell them in a way convenient for you. You can make custom furniture at a higher price.

Pet owners want to please their pets in every possible way and therefore buy them this or that furniture. People with average or high incomes buy furniture for dogs. Therefore, they try not to save money. Competition in such a market is minimal, so if you produce high-quality furniture with a beautiful design, then you won’t have to worry about the number of buyers.

To create such a business, you will need to register an individual entrepreneur, familiarize yourself with all the fashion trends in the furniture industry, purchase the necessary materials and tools, and create sketches on the basis of which the furniture will be made. It is important to conduct an advertising campaign and find points of sale for products.

This is a fairly profitable project, because... pays off quickly. If the cost of one piece of furniture is 300-500 rubles, then its market value is 700-2000 rubles. Income exceeds expenses several times.

Conclusion

My conclusion is, as always, positive. Business with minimal investment is possible! Think, start, try. You always need to start small and business is no exception. Moreover, making a business for a million is no easier than for 50,000 rubles. It just seems like there is a lot of money, so everything is simple, but everything has its own difficulties.

For example, I wouldn’t be able to manage entire factories or banks now, I don’t have much experience. Therefore, I will continue to build my small businesses, turn them into medium-sized ones, and then it’s not far from big ones;)

Thank you for your attention! I look forward to your comments.

Have you decided that you are tired of working “for your uncle”, and the only opportunity to create a bright future is to start your own business? Congratulations! It seems like a switch has clicked in your head, turning you from an ordinary worker into a future entrepreneur! The fate of this character is not easy, but interesting. In particular, you will have to deal with a whole lot of problems: how to register your business, where to get funds to open it, how to attract the first clients, and so on. And the very first in the series of these “monsters” is the question: “What kind of business should I open?”

Entrepreneurs are people filled with energy and creativity from head to toe, and therefore they usually direct all their reserves of this goodness to solving the first problem. Of course, because choosing a business idea is a fateful question. At the same time, most beginners think that a business idea must certainly be original and fresh. Then the business will produce a WOW effect on potential customers, and they will rush for a new product or service, sweeping away everything in their path, including competitors bursting with envy.

It must be said that in search of an unusual idea that has not yet been implemented by anyone on the market, many go very far and invent startups that, in general, cause nothing but surprise. You look at such a business, and there is only one question in your head: “Who will pay for this?!” But this, as they say, is just the beginning. But the berries, that is, the most amazing thing is that they actually pay for it. And a lot of them and very willingly.

Don't believe that this is even possible? Then we invite you to familiarize yourself with a couple of business ideas that at first glance seemed crazy, but, nevertheless, helped their creators make good money.

Chickens for rent

American startup Rent-a-Chicken makes money by renting out two adult chickens. What made this idea take off? The general trend towards healthy eating and organics. For many people in the United States, the thought of whipping up fried eggs from 100% organic eggs in the morning really warms their souls.

Rent-a-Chicken plays on these emotions, giving everyone the opportunity to feel like a farmer without investing enormous amounts of money into it, without taking risks, and without even leaving their usual job. You just need to leave a request on the company’s website, and its employees will bring the chickens themselves, as well as a small chicken coop for them and a supply of feed for three months, for just 250 US dollars. After this period, you will have to hand over your cheerful farm back. The startup now operates in 15 US states and enjoys some popularity.

Message on a potato

How do you feel about the prospect of paying from 8 to 12 US dollars to send your friend a note “Vasya, pay back the debt!” on a potato tuber? But the Americans liked the idea of ​​the founder of the Potato Parcel service. Just two days after entering the market, the enterprising startup entrepreneur earned $2,000 from “the dumbest idea in the world” (according to his girlfriend).

After another 5 months, Potato Parcel was sold, and that’s when the real fun began. The new owner has taken the project to a completely different level: the service now operates in Canada, Australia and Europe, earning $1,000 a day. Potato Parcel was so successful that it even spawned several smaller imitators.

Cricket Protein Bars

It seems that the UN's advice to hungry people to eat insects, which the organization issued a couple of years ago, was taken very literally by some. We are talking, in particular, about the founder of the Chapul project. This brand produces protein bars made from crickets, which have gained popularity in the United States and Canada.

Just don’t think that Americans really love the crunch of insect legs on their teeth. Crickets are ground into flour and generously flavored with all sorts of delicious things like honey, nuts or chocolate. One way or another, the products are sold in more than 50 retail outlets dedicated to healthy nutrition.

Hangover help

Well, who among us is not familiar with this disgusting feeling of helplessness, when you can’t even lift your head from the pillow because yesterday you had too much to drink? Well, okay, okay, we are decent people in all respects and condemn immoderation of libations. But one way or another, everyone knows about hangovers, even if not from their own experience.

But students at the University of Colorado Boulder seem to experience hangovers on a regular basis. No wonder: the town is included in the official list of the most party cities for students.

For some of them, watching their fellow students suffer inspired them to start a business. A hangover is not just retribution for yesterday's sins, it is full-fledged alcohol poisoning that requires first aid. This function was taken over by the Hangover Helpers service. For just $20, the miracle startup provides a bottle of isotonic water to overcome the “dry bug”, the beloved American burrito and cleaning the room.

Adoption of pickled onions

In 2011, the Russian media literally exploded with news about a startup from the UK - an agency for the adoption of pickled onions. The idea was invented by several English housewives over a glass of alcohol in a pub. Everyone knows that the most non-trivial ideas appear precisely in such an environment. Only in the morning, having sobered up, yesterday’s geniuses brush them aside. But this time everything turned out to be completely different: the women developed the idea and even found authorized capital to start a business.

It was possible to adopt an onion on a website specially created for this purpose, and the client could choose a specific onion that was the most attractive to him, and give it a new happy life. True, the onion itself never left for its savior, but he received her photo and a beautiful adoption certificate. And all this pleasure for just 8 euros.

Artificial grass for animal walking

Probably every dog ​​owner knows how difficult it can be to crawl out from under a warm blanket on a gloomy Sunday morning to go for a walk with your pet. To help those who are completely screwed, the Pet Loo service has appeared.

Its creators believe that even a piece of grass is enough for a faithful dog to “get things done,” and therefore they offer lazy dog ​​owners to buy 1 sq.m. artificial vegetation, equipped with a tray. Both the grass and the tray can be washed and reused several times, while the “plants” absorb odors.

The grass and tray cost dog owners $110 per kit. But, apparently, the price is not a problem for those who are too lazy to walk their four-legged friend. True, it is not clear how much this idea is to the taste of the dogs themselves, who are forced to “go” to something extremely similar to a cat’s litter box.

Anti-stress establishment

Admit it, we all periodically want to smash the keyboard over the head of an annoying colleague or throw a mug at our husband, who suddenly imagines himself to be a sawmill. But my colleague is a valuable personnel, and my husband is dearly loved. And it’s somehow a pity to break things in a fit of stress: after all, it’s yours, acquired through back-breaking labor. And yet, for the sake of psychological and physical health, you need to let off steam somewhere.

It is for such sufferers, driven into a corner by stress, that Sarah’s Smash Shack was invented in the USA. The trick of the cafe is that it consists exclusively of a conflict menu. You just come and start smashing whatever your heart desires, and then pay for the pogrom committed according to the price list.

Cereal cafe

How do you like the idea of ​​“breaking out” into a cafe specifically to eat cereal or other breakfast cereals? At first glance it sounds crazy: you can fill honey rings with milk at home. But such an establishment, oddly enough, actually exists and is even popular among the British.

The ironically named Cereal Killer Cafe sells more than 120 types of breakfast cereals from all over the world, which can be topped with one of 30 types of milk (who would have thought that there were so many) and added to this splendor with one or more of 20 toppings.

In short, a real paradise for cereal fans. By the way, there are many of the latter. Just two months after the opening of the first establishment, a second one appeared, and at this rate it’s not far from an entire chain.

As you can see, Westerners are not lacking in creativity when it comes to finding business ideas. But this is far from a complete list of crazy startups that were wildly successful, no matter what. Europeans and Americans make money by making T-shirt blankets, making edible tableware and finding out if someone has died in the house a client is planning to buy.

Against the backdrop of such revelry, it becomes somehow embarrassing for the homeland: is it really possible that all we can do is cook shawarma and sell tights? But no! In Russian villages and cities with a population of over a million, there are also a lot of craftsmen who make money from strange things. Here are their stories literally first-hand:

Vladimir Mirolyubov

Head of EPICSTARS

The strangest and probably most unusual business idea I have ever seen was a Russian company offering anyone who wanted to pay and order delivery of a “gift” to a specified recipient. The peculiarity of the “gift” was that inside the box there was... ahem, a brown substance. The company took its service seriously and even did an upsell through an additional fee for a message to the recipient.

All my friends stood at their heads and said that no one would buy this nonsense. But it seemed to me that this was a cool idea, so I agreed with 5 stores in St. Petersburg, and found 3 dealers in the regions where I gave the gloves for sale. Also, for what I thought was crazy money (about 70 thousand rubles), I rented a house in advance at the New Year's fair in the center of St. Petersburg in order to sell gloves on New Year's Day. As a result, we had a great deal then. Having covered all the costs, I earned almost 800 thousand rubles net.
But the next year it was not possible to repeat the success: many competitors appeared who heavily dumped and brought gloves of very poor quality.
