Simple Ideas for Self Employment

Author : Mariam Ma

A lot of people want to be their own bosses in a self-owned business but they lack the ideas to make it happen. Perhaps they are looking at things through a foggy lens and over complicating things. In reality, all you need is one simple idea that works to be on the path to riches. Or, perhaps it is due to dismissing ideas with arrogance because we feel that we are “better than this”. To me put this as a clear example.

For instance, did you know that the cleaning business rakes in billions of dollars each year? How does the saying go? It’s the quiet ones you always have to worry about. So while you’re scratching your head trying to come up with the next big idea or trying to design the next great gadget, there is a serious need for cleaning that people require to be filled.

Understandably, the cleaning business is not sexy. It is not a great conversation starter at parties and we all would much rather introduce ourselves as the owner of a dot com company. Never the less, just like the stock market, it’s the boring companies that are recession proof and weather the storm while tech start-ups sputter and burn out in flames due to market bubbles, fads, or stronger competitors.

If you’re looking to fund a business, give house cleaning services a try. Hire the many people available who are looking for house cleaning work. Set up a marketing angle that would attract customers and make you stand out ahead of your competitors. Perhaps you offer green cleaning or you target directly landlords who need their apartments cleaneds. Regardless of the marketing efforts, the start-up costs compared to other businesses is minimal. If you’re going solo to do this as a home business, you’ll still do very well for yourself. You are pretty much guaranteed a loyal customer base if your employees do a good job. Not everyone wants to invite strangers into their houses so the chances of repeating customers are very high. New customers also come in through word of mouth recommendations so the two aspects of repeating customers and new customers are pretty much covered. As for the need, everyone needs a clean house to live in and seeing as we all lead busy lives, sometimes it’s easier to hire someone to clean than to do it ourselves.

Given all these points of support, one can see that a simple business idea such as a cleaning business can work better than chasing the next big idea.
