Starting a successful business doesn’t need to require a huge investment. With a great business idea and the right tools, you can start a business without investing much money, or even acquiring inventory.


Dropshipping. Print on demand. Mobile storefronts. All of these money-making, small business ideas require very little upfront to turn a profit from home once you set up an eCommerce website.



Get into the entrepreneurial spirit

Adapting to a changing economy means coming up with new, clever ways to meet the needs of customers. Examine the market: What types of products or services can meet the demands in the current market? How can your abilities help meet those demands as an entrepreneur?


Ready to turn your business ideas into cash flow? Become your own boss and work from anywhere with these 10 low-investment business ideas.


01. Run your own online store with dropshipping

You don’t need to store inventory or invest a lot of money to sell online. With dropshipping, you skip the cost of manufacturing products, managing inventory and shipping by partnering with third-party suppliers who manage it all for you.


How it worksOnce you’re done setting up your online store and your site goes live, you can begin promoting your business using digital marketing tools to drive shoppers to your site. Each time they make a purchase, you’ll receive an order notification. Once the order is sent to your supplier they'll fulfill it. Boom. You just became the boss of your very own eCommerce business.


To get started with your dropshipping business, connect Modalyst or Spocket to your Wix account. Source from millions of trusted suppliers, including AliExpress, to sell all sorts of amazing products at your own set prices. Just remember to strike a balance between competitive pricing and how much you earn for each sale.


Choosing products to sell

Before you start your online business, you'll need to choose dropshipping products to sell. Take the time to clarify your vision and brand. Do some market research to find out what people are buying. Assess the potential interest, pricing and profit margin of products before selling them in your store.


Succeeding with an online store means finding a way to stand out. Explore niche products to source and sell, and try to avoid putting all your eggs in one basket by selling a variety. That said, try to group your products into collections to make your online store easier to navigate. Stay away from markets that are already overcrowded with merchants. Take the time to set up marketing and promotional efforts that will ultimately save you time and boost your sales.

02. Get creative with branded products, designed by you

Now let’s take dropshipping one step further. Add a personal touch with print on demand by connecting Printful or Printify to your online store. Just like with dropshipping, you partner with print on demand companies who supply the inventory. From t-shirts to phone cases, bags and more—choose any customizable merchandise and add your own creative touch. Go ahead and design graphics, quotes or photos to print on the products you selected.


Start by choosing from hundreds of unique products to customize and sell your designs on your online store. Start a t-shirt business with funny quotes. Add your cat photos to novelty socks. Create stickers with your logo or designs that match your brand. Another cool option: sell merchandise with original artwork made by you.


Still, you don’t have to be a graphic designer to sell unique designs. Hire and collaborate with freelance artists on sites like Fiverr or 99Designs to create one-of-a-kind art for your print on demand products.


When you receive an order, you can ship to over 90 locations worldwide. Forward your orders to your chosen supplier, while managing everything from your Wix dashboard. Just think about it—shoppers will rock your unique designs all over the world.

03. Create digital video content

Now that people spend more time at home, they’re looking for ways to keep themselves occupied by taking on new hobbies or returning to old ones. Do you work in an industry that traditionally requires face-to-face interaction, like fitness, restaurants or education? Use this opportunity to create digital instruction videos, like cooking demonstrations, workout routines and more, which people can stream online.


The shutdown of schools and daycares in 2020 means parents are spending a lot more time at home with their little ones. Moms and dads look for ways to keep their kids busy, active and learning. So if you find yourself at home and temporarily out of a job, how can you apply your experience to meet this market demand?


Family-friendly activities are always trendy, especially now. Get ahead of the competition by selling kid-friendly video content. If you’re a fitness trainer, create exercise videos for children, like P.E. with Joe. Stream kid-friendly content like workouts or baby yoga classes. Post daily lessons online to help parents homeschool their kids. You can even create an entertaining cooking show with your own children.


There are different pricing models to earn money with digital video content. You can charge a monthly channel subscription to give customers full access to exclusive content. If you work with video hosting platforms like YouTube, you can monetize your content based on the number of viewers. Another option is selling or renting your videos. Viewers can download the video or watch it on your site over a 24-48-hour cycle.


Consider offering some of your content for free to give customers an idea of your product and nudge them to make a purchase. Host live streaming or webinars with Zoom, Vimeo and YouTube.

04. Publish your own book

Have you always dreamed of writing your own book? Make this the year you finally get your book published—it’s easier than you might expect.


You can self-publish your own bestselling eBook without a lot of monetary investment. Compose content into a digital PDF format. Put together your content—photos, recipes, memoirs, short stories or adult coloring book templates. If you run a blog, you’ve already got plenty of content: consider combining your blog posts into a book. You can also narrate an audiobook by uploading audio files.


Next, promote and sell your book online. Build a website so customers can find you. Choose from professionally designed templates specifically created for bookstores and authors. Personalize your website to match the look and feel of your book. Earn additional royalties by distributing your eBook or paperback through Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing.

05. Start a podcast

The spoken word has made a huge comeback—the podcast industry is estimated at $90 million as of 2019. Get your slice of that pie by launching your own podcast.


Start by picking a topic that you find interesting. Look for ways to entertain, inform and inspire. Team up with friends to join you on air. Invite guests, like comedians and thought leaders, to add value and increase exposure.


Record your podcast with audio hosting sites like SoundCloud or Libsyn. When you finish recording, use the Wix Podcast Player to showcase and stream podcasts from your site.


Once you have enough listeners, you can find sponsorship deals on sites like Ad Results Media, Adopter Media or True Native Media.


Give you revenue an additional boost. Think of ways to compliment your podcast brand with merchandise, like branded tees, socks and other accessories using print on demand.

. Provide remote consultation services

COVID-19 has required business owners to adapt. If you currently market to an industry taking a hit in the pandemic, look at it as an opportunity to pivot your business model.


Once you successfully launch your online store, you can help others do the same. Build and design websites or sell online courses, tutorials and coaching sessions to share best practices and tips with other business owners.


Do you work in the medical industry? Healthcare professionals, such as general physicians, nutritionists or therapists, can provide consultations by phone and online sessions with platforms that easily integrate with Wix, like Zoom. Start by setting up a website where patients can schedule and manage their meetings.

Nice one
