Best Business Ideas for the Digital Age
Are you a wordsmith? Do you have programming skills? Are you a social networking guru? Then let your abilities work for you in cyberspace.
Let’s face it, the Internet drives all marketing today.
However, many small companies lack the time, personnel — or aptitude — to leverage the Internet fully for their businesses. Fortunately, that leaves the door open for writers, website designers, videographers, and social media specialists.
Turn your abilities into your own business by offering one of these services:
Copywriting and Blogging: According to HubSpot, companies with blogs get 97% more links to their website. In fact, 81% of business-to-business companies employ blogs as part of their marketing strategy.
Editing and Proofreading: Abundant typos and grammatical mistakes reflect poorly on the brand. Expert proofers keep businesses from making embarrassing copy mistakes.
E-book Development: Why not turn your expertise (or your client’s) into an e-book to sell online?
Mobile App Development: Programmers find plenty of businesses need apps to promote their products on phones and tablets. Alternatively, perhaps you could develop your own app and sell it online.
Social Media Management: Search engine optimization (SEO) specialists increase brand awareness for clients on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media platforms.
Build and Maintain Websites: Business cannot compete in today’s market without an attractive website. Moreover, their websites need periodic updating and redesigning to stay effective.
Graphic Design: Experienced graphic designers maximize product visuals. They create logos, online brochures, and flyers, as well as printable materials for businesses.
Video or Podcast Creation: Produce YouTube videos or podcasts that sell, brand, or instruct. Clients are clamoring for quality made videos and podcasts to promote their businesses online.
The Best Businesses to Start may be in Online Sales
Of course, if you already have a product of your own to sell, e-commerce may be the right opportunity for you.
Online sales provide total freedom. You can live wherever you want. You can work whenever you want.
Are you a hobbyist or artisan? Handmade goods often sell well when marketed online.
Alternatively, you might sell products produced by other businesses to special niche markets.
Really, the choices for Internet sales opportunities are endless. In addition, online sales business ideas often yield higher incomes than other startup businesses.

If none of these small business ideas appeals to you, consider a franchising option.
New Business Ideas in Franchise Opportunities
Startup costs are generally far greater with a franchise than starting a business from scratch.
For example, fast food franchises can cost from $25,000 to $955,000 to join.
However, support from the parent company makes franchising a more viable option for less experienced entrepreneurs.
Be advised, however, that the initial costs of purchasing the franchise is not the only fee. The franchise company also receives a portion of your business’ sales.
Research franchises online to determine initial costs and expected profits. Find an operation compatible with your skills and interests— and viable for your market.
The Best Business Ideas Start with Professionalism
First, you must impress your clients by putting a professional face on your company. Be sure your letterhead, business cards, e-forms, website, and marketing materials look sharp and professional.
In addition, conduct business from an attractive and well-maintained space in a good location to inspire confidence in your operation.
