“Do something today, that your future will thank you, than doing nothing at all to say to the future. this words are often passed on to unemployed, you might not have a job but for how long are you waiting for white color jobs.”
Sometimes I wish I was born to a rich family like a lawyer and a doctor where I could have a nanny to take care of me, a driver to drive me to school. come back from school, eat, sleep and enjoy every good thing at my beck and call.
I guess those wishes can be manifested into reality with hard work and determination since I was born to a local cook and a farmer in the underdeveloped village.
But the question is, does where and who you were born to affect your destiny? of course not. Literally,80% of the below mention,i have done it before and am still doing it.i can testify so let dive inn.
1. PURE WATER RETAILING OR WHOLE SALE
pure water business is now the ishest buzz rocking town, everyone is selling water so is everyone buying water, a bag of sachet water is 2 gh cedes 50 pesewas from wholesale and retail is 3 ghcedis 50 pesewas.so do the calculation for just 50 backs in a day not even considering the cost of full bag which is 6 gh cedis,which leaves you a profit of 3ghcedis 50 pesewas as profit,maybe you are to shy to carry on your head, no problem distribute to retailers and make make some money. trust me this requires less or no money at all to start, you can even talk to the big trucks to supply you just 10 bags and come back for their money after sales, by the time they return, you might have finished selling it and then you pay them.
remember!trustworthy,honesty and good communication skills can take You places.
2. SUPPLY PASTRIES TO OFFICES OR SCHOOLS
A friend of mine sold pastries in schools to take care of her two little siblings through secondary education. what is your complain here, when I completed cake school, I was making some money from my craft so she took over after I had left my hometown, learn on the skills and now she prepares pastries to shops, offices and school, I know you’re saying I can’t do it, dear you can,even if you don’t have the money to pay for the skills, look for someone in your area who does stuff like that,confront her politely to volunteer,the truth is that, such people always need extra hands.
3. SELL RECHARGE CARDS OR MTN MONEY TRANSFER
I Always prefer buying and selling daily use commodities which has a high demand, my first business after senior high school was selling recharge cards, this type of business demand high starters amount of cash to start,so talk to your parent or anyone you know he or she mostly have cash that you can pay at the end of every day, mobile money is one of the booming business now, you get paid base on the commissions, being it cash in or cash.
4. START BLOGGING
BLOG! BLOG! BLOG! BLOGGING IS THE TREND OF THE DAY, you can do video blogging on you tube or social media or online blogging, trust me it not easy but hard work they say pays, if it’s website blogging or writing, get a committed developer who can help you throughout the process. find your niche and stay focus.am a lifestyle ans entertainment blogger myself so i know what am talking about.
5. ONLINE MARKETING
“Broniwawu” commonly called in Ghana is now washed, ironed and hanged on a mannequin and posted on Facebook or Instagram for high cost, you might not even have the money but you can sell others staff and earn a profit of which I do in my line of business. what our excuse now.through this online business I discover ahenema slippers and now am a proud owner of ahenemavibzgh .
6. CLEANING SERVICES
I was a secretary and a teacher at the same time with less than 500gh per month, I work from 6 to 7 pm in the evening, that even when the last child leaves the school.
My salary was a chicken change, one day a friend told me he needs someone to help wash his stuffs for him, I grab the opportunity and earn 50gh in less than 3 hours…..i slept because I was tired,but afterwards, I had a revelation when I work up, so I connected some of my colleagues and started doing kukus cleaning services. sooner than later I quite my job and employed people to supervise them to do the job with no loss or not less than 150gh or more in a day.
You might leave in a sub standard community but it will surprise you when you take a step forward.
7. INDOMIE JOINTOne egg crate, one box of indomie and some vegetables on a table. if you are like me, then, you will wait to save enough before you start because I dream big and porch and that has been my delay in life. start small and win big with focus and determination.
8. WATER MELON VENDING
Water melon is a seasonal fruit and trust me people patronize it a lot, I drive through the stretch of sakumono and Nungua and it always baffles me how the woman always has an increasing number of retailers who carry on their head for sale.
You might not carry it on your head because you a graduate or too much certy like me, just arrange on a table at busy joint and bingo.you making it
9. OVER HEAD OR TABLE STORE
I use to join my next door neighbor who works close to my office, so I join him most often when your girl want to save some fuel or tired of driving sometimes. Its amazing how my neighbor consistently by from the women carrying groceries on their head.gum, mints toffees, shoe polish,handkerchief, batteries, inhaler etc.
Those items doesn’t earn much much but it baffles me how people buy those things,I observed that,the women never go home with same items they brought in the morning, meaning they make sales and earn profit, my neighbors customer told me that, people don’t value such business but it profitable to them.if not for anything, it helps me to support my husband and my kids so I cant complain,one woman added
10.TILAPIA JOINT
The least grilled tilapia joint in town is 8gh cedis, it goes higher and much as 40gh per a plate without banku at some restaurant, my regular joint was 16gh but just yesterday I went to my usual joint and I realized they have increased the price.corn is a cheap commodity in Ghana an you can never loss on that business.people are drifting away from meat to fish and that the trend in Ghana now.You can go wrong with this business.add office delivery,oh my sister,you life can never be same in Jesus name say Amen to that
Don’t be a liability, by giving excuses to the economic situations in your country.dream high with unshaken drive and try my 09 business ideas you can start with 500 Ghana cedes or even no money at all.All the best.
