If you’re in your teens or twenties, you might think you do not have the capital to start your own business, but actually, there are plenty of businesses you can start from home that have little or no start-up costs.

So, whether you are looking for some extra pocket money or you are planning on building a business empire, here are five easy home business ideas that you will want to consider.

Sell Handmade Items

In today’s digital world, it is easier than ever before to sell handmade items. Furthermore, you can do so from the comfort of your own home.

All you need to do is get onto an online platform like Etsy, ArtFire, or Ruby Lane. Alternatively, you could sell products directly from your own website.

You do not need much skill to set up an online store. But you will need some artistic skills to make your artisan business a success.

You have the option to sell any kind of handmade items, such as candles, bags, or greeting cards.

As long as you come up with original and eye-catching designs, you could receive a lot of attention.

Startup costs are minimal, although if you want to take things to the next level, you will need to invest a little money in advertising.

But do not forget that you can promote your online store and products for free by simply engaging with people on social media platforms.

Become a Blogger or Podcast Host

With just a little tech know-how, you could become a blogger or a podcast host.

For the former, you will need to have good writing skills and know how to engage an audience. For the latter, you will need to come across well on camera.

By becoming a blogger or podcast host, you get to write or present about things that really interest you.

While you may not be able to make money from day one, as you grow your blog or podcast, you will have the opportunity to partner with advertisers or affiliate partners to bring in revenue.

Stream Video Games

Another way of getting revenue through advertisers and affiliate partners, while doing something you love, is to stream live video games.

By simply recording yourself playing video games and adding commentary on top, using platforms like Twitch, you can steadily grow a fanbase and then turn that into a profitable business.

Begin a Freelance Data Entry Business

While data entry might not be the most exciting job, if you are looking for work that you can get into easily and which can provide you with a regular income, you should consider setting up a freelance data entry business.

And by performing data entry, you will gain useful skills, such as how to use spreadsheets, which will be handy for progressing in the world of work as you grow older.

There are lots of freelancer sites that cater to data entry professionals, and other sectors, such as Guru and Upwork.

Over time, you can gain loyal clients and take your data entry business to the next level.

And you can win your customers’ loyalty, whether you start a data entry business or any other kind of home-based business, by giving your customers gifts like paperweights and coasters.

When you buy corporate gifts, you can impress your client base and steadily grow your business.

Start a Local Business

Your home business does not have to be restricted to existing solely online.

As a teen or someone in your twenties, you have the option to do a variety of work in your local neighbourhood.

For instance, you could babysit or do seasonal chores like snow shovelling or gardening.

You should be able to easily get customers in your local vicinity, and you can set up a website to promote your business and grow it.
