Well If you have good driving skills and can able to drive for a whole day then this business can be fit for you. I will explain to you in simple terms.

(2) If you don’t have enough capital then you can avail of a loan easily to buy a vehicle.

Dropshipping/e-commerce stores:
According to some marketing giants, the Dropshipping Or E-commerce business is one of the most trending businesses. So firstly you need to know What is the difference between dropshipping and ecommerce?
Dropshipping means you take online orders of a product that you don’t have physically and is present with the supplier. On behalf of the supplier, you sell it to customers and earn a commission out of it in return.

For example: a product’s actual cost is in which a supplier marked a price of 100 and you sold the same product to the customer for 250, so in this, you earn 150 and the supplier earns 100.
On the other hand, E-commerce means you have possession of the goods and you sell the product through your website.
Now the question in your mind is how to start this business.
Requirements
- Firstly, you need a marketplace from where you can sell your product, it can be either Facebook or Google. But I recommend you use Facebook ads for this
- If you don’t know how to run Facebook ads, then you can take up the course free from YouTube or some paid courses that can help you in running ads.
- Thirdly, you need a winning product that you think can be profitable for you and if you don’t find one then you need to experiment with it.
- In between you need a Shopify website which is 24$ per month to showcase your products to customers, So that when the customer sees the ads, he or she will click the ad that will redirect to a landing page where they can see the content view or purchase a product.
- You need copywriting, video editing, and social media management skills to run that business
- Then you need a packing boy if it is e-commerce, apart from that you need a telecaller to confirm the orders and to report the non-delivery orders
- Total expenses include: Facebook ads + shipping charges + cash on delivery charges + rent charges+ Product costs will be equal to around 40-50K at the start.
- You can order products from Aliexpress or Indiamart.
Affiliate marketing:
Affiliate marketing means a person promotes a third-party product in order to earn a commission. It is of two types(a) Paid (b) Free. For paid you have to take some courses from the company who are promoting affiliate marketing and then you need to resell the course.
From my experience, I can tell you that you can start at a minimum of 500 and people are earning 50K-1 lakh per month.
For free, you can become an Amazon affiliate or Flipkart affiliate where you can list your product and sell your products or if you buy a product then the other company gives you a reselling right from your link.
If someone buys a product and register themselves for some course then the earning will come into your bank account.

Pet Grooming/Care:
Pet grooming/care is an excellent business and I’m saying this because my cousin’s sister is doing that business and earning lots of money.
She is a pet lover and whenever in her society, people have to go on vacation or out of the city, they give the pets to my sister to take care of and in return, she charges 1000 per day for a dog.
Where she takes care of grooming, giving food, bathing, and other activities. Trust me, Investment is close to negligible and profit is huge, so this is what we can say about the low-investment business with high profits.

One of the most innovative and profitable ventures you will come across. The bike rental business will be successful, especially in tourist places where people want to explore themselves riding the bike.
Last year, I went to Goa, I took a Bajaj Pulsar bike for rent and I paid Rs 600 for a day and also had to pay for the petrol from my side so from this you can owner is always the winner in this business.
Vacation rental:
Another business that easily fits in a low-investment business with high profit is Vacation rental. This business also does wonders in tourist-based areas where people come to spend holidays with their friends, family, and loved ones.
So what do those who live in that area do? They rent their houses or apartments to tourists and in return, they charge a good price based on their location and time. Prices may depend on various factors like season days, off days, popular destinations and facilities, etc.
Fancy dress rental business:
In our school days, whenever a fancy dress competition was there, we used to become policemen, army men, teachers, doctors, etc. We used to borrow from the shop for rent.
What’s more promising in this business is that it will go out of fashion because in every year some part of the area there is always the fancy dress competition which will give huge profits and there is very little investment required as you just need to keep a theme of the clothes which is required the most.
Career counseling:
After the 10th standard, the student always needs career guidance, because in the 11th standard, the student has to make the decision about subjects like arts, science, commerce, humanities, etc.
