8 Profitable Business Ideas for 2024
in this video I'm going to share eight profitable business ideas that you can Implement today to make thousands of dollars per month so let's go ahead get started with this video I don't want to beat around the bush here I just want to get into it and share some of these ideas that you can take and hopefully run with and make some money on this year now this is a pretty wide variety of business ideas so for some people you might have one that's going to be an online business that you can scale profitably from your own home and others are going to be a little bit more of what we would call Sweat Equity or a little a bit more manual labor businesses that can still make a lot of money so hopefully there is something in here for everyone regardless of what country you live in regardless of whether you're 14 years old or you're 40 years old or you're 80 years old there should be something here that I think can be valuable for you for creating a business all right so let's start off with the first one and some of these you're going to notice are pretty Niche but I think that's the important thing here this isn't just like a generic list of like start a dog walking business or you know start a lawnmowing company which you know can be good companies but you've probably heard a lot of before so these are going to be pretty different let's start off with the first one here which is a ghost writing service on LinkedIn a lot of people just kind of have a LinkedIn they don't really feel like they use it very much but the truth is is that if you can start a ghost writing service for other businesses and you can get them new clients from creating content that shows up in the feed on LinkedIn this can be extremely valuable I know people who pay hundreds of dollars per month as a service for someone to do ghost writing on LinkedIn basically just going to companies whether this is local businesses or preferably like any type of SAS Company software companies or any other types of influencers and saying look you need to start posting content on LinkedIn you can do this in written format so if you just go on LinkedIn homepage you'll see so many different people posting content on there there's a lot of eyeballs not a lot of creators or people posting actual content on the platform so there's a big gap here there's a lot of opportunity the way that I would go about doing this is approach either existing infl fencers who maybe they have a presence on YouTube or they have a presence on Twitter or have a presence on Instagram and convince them to start posting on LinkedIn you can do this for them charge them at least a few hundred a month and maybe that gets them a few posts per week that you'll create for them and post for them on LinkedIn then you start to scale that up you can bring on multiple different clients this is a really just a business idea that I think is one of the top ones going into 2025 that I think people should start I might make a full video on this cuz it really does have a lot of poal and by the way leave any questions or thoughts Down Below in the comment section and we can discuss that as well if I can help out with kind of ideating on some these different things okay option number two for a business idea going into 2025 is an email newsletter business now the reason why this is one of the best businesses to start is because you can basically become your own Media company for almost no cost so you can use a service called beehive I'll leave a link to it down below in the description but with beehive this is is an email newsletter platform so you can run your newsletter on this we have newsletters here at santal media for a variety of different niches that we run we operate they're pretty much automated we have someone writing them every single week he writes them he sends them out we put sponsors inside of those newsletters and so these are free newsletters that we send out and we make money on this it's really like the definition of passive income is having an email newsletter now there's examples of newsletters that are doing extremely well something like morning Brew which sold for about I think $75 million is a free business newsletter that maybe you've heard of and they sold to Business Insider for like $75 million there's other ones that are paid newsletters something like the Van Trump report which is a Commodities it's basically like an agriculture farming newsletter and this newsletter the Van Trump report makes about $20 million or more per year according to the owner of it from a simple newsletter this is just comes out into people's email inboxes every day so you can see like this is a really big business opportunity yes it's not going to be super easy like you need to go out and find subscribers to this newsletter you need to find people who are interested in reading the content that you're putting out but if you can hack that if you can find a way to do that then this can be an extremely lucrative business especially considering that there's really not much of a cost going into it so you can use something like beehive start a newsletter there we have a tutorial on that as well if you want to figure out how to use beehive but it's pretty easy to get started with it and it's really low cost it's like $30 or $40 a month to get your newsletter up and running actually I think they even have some free trials as well I'll leave all that info Down Below in the description okay so business idea number three is to create a specialty food service that goes direct to Consumer for different types of food that you can't get at the grocery store so for example I buy wagu staks online from a couple of different suppliers and I do that because I can't get them at any of the grocery stores around me so you could take this concept and really run with it in a number of different ways you can get really creative for example there's this company that my parents buy salmon from it's called wild for salmon and it's just wild caught salmon from Alaska I believe now I don't know I don't think that they even own most of these like fishing operations they just are connecting the fishermen to the consumers right and you could be that type of company and do that with any type of different like food so you could think Lobster from Maine but if you live in Alabama and you want Lobster from Maine like you can't just go to the grocery store you should find it online and you can be one of those providers to connect the fisherman to the actual consumers or another example of this is something like butcher box which has monthly subscriptions of meat or other things like seafood as well that come in the mail or they arrive they arrive by FedEx or UPS and people subscribe to this and they get the meat delivered directly to their door in a box so that's a pretty cool idea you can really get super creative and think like for example fish from Japan like sushi grade fish right you can't buy that at the grocery store there's a mark market for it or like crawfish right crawfish from Louisiana it's very hard to find you have to order it by mail and if you can find a way to Market that for example creating Instagram Pages Tik Tok Pages ranking in Google for like crawfish for sale online and you can connect the actual people who are harvesting or or finding those actual products okay so uh you could run with that I think this is one that I honestly might start myself this year if I can find someone to be an operator with it so if I can find a business partner on I probably will will do something like that cuz I just think it really is a tremendously great idea all right so option number four for a business opportunity this is one you can do from your home you might have heard of it before but I still think it's going to be one that has a lot of potential this year and that is to start uh a digital marketing agency now I want you to think about this in a different light than what most people think of most people when they think of starting an agency they think of building a website for their dentist office down the street or like running an Instagram page for their local ice cream shopp now you could do that the problem is is that there are a thousand other people who are hitting up that ice cream shop every month and asking if they can run their social media for them so it's going to be a lot of competition when you try to do marketing for your local businesses because honestly like anyone can do it and so it's just a lot more flooded with people instead thinking outside the box and creating a digital marketing agency where you are really focused on specialty Niche categories so for example you could be the best marketer for a specific industry that's always a great route or one that I still think is one of the best is marketing for political campaigns or things like political action committees as well so right now we're in 2024 and it's a really big election year and so there are a lot of people there's billions of dollars being spent right now on the upcoming election and a lot of these super packs political action committees and campaigns whether this is like presidential campaigns or Senate campaigns Congressional campaigns someone running from mayor in your town they're looking to spend money that they've raised and they need help to spend that money they need ways to spend that money and so if you can find a way to connect with political campaigns to help spend their money on uh you know this could be tv ads this could be local ads this could be mailers this could be anything this is a really great opportunity for a marketing agency that is not nearly as crowded not many people are doing this I promise you because I know people in this space and this is one that I would consider starting now it is a little bit late TR trying to do that for 2024 but you could start that and create it for the 2025 or the 2026 elections that will be coming up honestly pretty soon so that's an idea if you do run with a digital marketing agency we have a full over an hour long tutorial showing you how to start and run and operate in scale of digital marketing agency to $10,000 per month I will leave a link to that video down below in the description we've done it ourselves we've run ads for clients for years so we have a lot of experience in that space so I would recommend checking out that video you can use a uh platform like high level to run your operation it's pretty great so I'll just leave links to all those resources Down Below in the description of this video okay the next business opportunity is going to be a meal prep and delivery service now there are a lot of people who don't eat very well or they have to get Uber Eats all the time and there's a big Market opportunity for this especially if you live in a big city now you don't have to be a professional chef to offer meal prep or private Chef Services trust me on this I've paid my friends who are not like professionals they're just pretty good at cooking food they enjoy cooking food and I have someone who comes over once a week and makes food for me and it's for the rest of the week right so I have dinners I can just reheat them I have lunches I have all these things ready for me they make sure that all my groceries are in the fridge it's just great cuz like for me I don't like cooking I don't like um the process of going to the grocery store and you know figuring out like what am I going to eat on Tuesday I don't know honestly I don't care I just want someone to do that for me me and you know I'm luckily in the position where I I can afford to do that but there are a lot of people who are in the same position as me where they would be willing to pay money for someone to do that for them so if you're pretty good at cooking you enjoy cooking you enjoy that task then this could be something that you could Market to people in your local area as a meal prep meal delivery service to help people out and this one is pretty straightforward now getting clients for that can be a little bit difficult the best way is probably going to be through word of mouth so once you get one or two customers having them introduce you to their friends or other people if they really like your work it's going to be pretty easy to get you know maybe five or 10 clients and this can end up being a full-time business operation that you could be running just like that okay so the next business opportunity is going to be a fishing boat charter now this one's very Niche I understand not Everyone likes to go fishing or know even knows how to go fishing but I realized this could be a really great business when I went down to Florida this winter and we paid like $800 to have someone take us out myself my brother my parents we paid him $800 to take us out on his boat down in Florida just for the day you know we woke up in the morning did it and we were back by sometime in midday I think he was doing two different charters in the same day making $800 from us and probably $800 from the afternoon group so this guy was making about $1,600 for one day of just taking people out fishing I mean that's can be a really great business opportunity if you do that a few times per week you can make a few thousand dollars per week from being a fishing boat charter service now a lot of people are going to say well I don't own a boat I can't afford to buy a boat and so an idea on this would be even leasing a boat from someone who already owns one and saying hey look I'm starting a charter business can I rent your boat from you for $1,000 a month right and that might sound a little bit expensive but if you can make $10,000 a month from that then it can be a pretty great opportunity there so approaching people who own boats and seeing if you can either lease a boat from them or find a way to maybe partner with them where they own 10 or 20% of the business in in order for you to use their boat and you give them some of the profits like a profit share opportunity could be really interesting but I think that this one is just a really cool gig that I personally would like to start and I think you can make a really good living from this now this is not going to be like a billion dooll business this is probably something that if you run it effectively you might be able to add a couple of crew members and maybe make three or four or $500,000 a year but you're probably not going to make a billion dollars so just keep that in mind I think most people would understand that it can be a really great weekend business opport Unity For You especially if you live near water which a lot of people do in the US okay so the next business opportunity is to start a print on demand business now print on demand we also have videos on this that show you how to start a print on demand company the reason why we like this is because it's pretty similar to Drop Shipping in the sense that there's really not much of an overhead cost for you to get started with this so you can use something like gelato I'll leave a link to it down below but with gelato you can design different things whether this is t-shirts or hat or different types of merch and you can promote these and you only are going to be paying for when these products are actually purchased so for example if you wanted to go out and start a clothing company originally like before we had something like print on demand or before we had something like gelato you would have to go out and talk to someone who can help you make the products you would have to order maybe a hundred or a thousand of them and then hope that you can sell them after you've tied up all your money in this inventory but now because we have print on demand thanks to dilato what you can do is you can just start to Market these products you can design them Market them and then see if they sell if they sell great what's happening with print on demand is that they are when a customer purchases let's say a t-shirt with your design on it you have a third-party company like gelato that will go out and actually print that shirt when someone orders it they'll print that one shirt for you and they'll mail it out they'll send it to the customer so you don't even have to touch it you don't have to touch the shirt you don't have to ship out the actual product they do all of this for you it's fulfilled by gelato and so it's a really great service to have and so we do have tutorials on that as well my brother made some really in-depth tutorials on how to start a print on demand company whether this is clothing this can be wall art calendars cards photo books hats I mean there's a lot of different things even phone cases that you can sell using a print on demand service okay the final one that I want to share with you and this is just a business opportunity that I made a lot of money on when I was in high school and when I was in college is an auction flipping business okay so this is something you can on the weekends and you can make a lot of money from this so what I used to do is I used to go to farm auctions and a variety of other auctions I would go in the morning Saturday mornings I would buy products and then I would resell them on Craigslist resell them on Facebook Marketplace and even reselling them on things like eBay or depop as well and so what I would suggest doing for this is pick an industry or a niche that you really understand the prices of everything about so for me this was farm equipment I just knew like if I went and went to a farm auction and I saw a tractor I knew that that tractor is probably worth at least $3,000 so I would bid on it and if I could get the tractor for $500 I knew I could flip that and sell it on Facebook Marketplace and make a couple thousand dolls and I'd do that with hundreds of different items and I would do this almost every weekend especially in the Summers and make good money I mean I paid for almost my entire college education just from flipping things from auctions and reselling them on different platforms let's say that you're really good like you understand coins and you know like the value of all these Rare Coins or like trading cards and you can buy them at auction or buy them privately and resell them for much higher prices this is a great business that you can run all right so I hope some of these business ideas were useful to you and you can take one of these and really think about it and build out a business plan you can have chat gbt help you to create a business plan to make sure that you're not missing anything let me know if you want to seriously start one of these because I would love to consider partnering with someone on some of these different business ideas I L just don't have a lot of the time for it but I would love to so uh let me know if you have any thoughts on this or anything else I would always be happy to chat shoot me a message on Instagram or on Twitter and I'll see everybody
