Why?
There are ideas that were once very good for starting a business, but over time the number of companies offering such services has become too large, and the demand for services is somewhat doubtful. This is not to say that these ideas have gotten worse over time. However, now, in order to achieve success in this market, you have to offer something truly extraordinary, as well as invest huge amounts of money in the promotion of the business. You can find your niche if your professional skills are high enough and you know where you will find your first customers. But even then, you will get a pitiful crumbs. Here are some business ideas that you shouldn't go to market with today.
Web designer. Gone are the days when it was enough to know HTML and have basic web design skills. Today you need to know CSS, graphics software, the basics of usability and e-commerce. Anyone can create a website using apps and templates, but you can't make money on it. Sure, it is possible to pursue a career in web design, but this business is not for beginners. This also includes the idea of a company engaged in SEO and SMO promotion. Every student can create such a company, but the effect of their work is such that customers have completely lost faith in the effectiveness of such technologies. All this does not apply to web developers - this is still a popular and relatively free niche.
Computer store. In the 90s, the margins on the sale of computers and components were quite decent. And additional services made it possible to earn good money. I remember the huge computer markets of the early 2021s - the peak of computer trade. Today this format has completely disappeared, and computers are sold anywhere. As a result, profits and turnovers in small computer stores dropped significantly. All that remains is to earn money only by repairing and maintaining computers and keeping the store as a kind of front office. Fortunately, so far in Russia large retail chains do not climb into this niche. However, look at the United States and the European Union - there are major retailers starting to offer PC service for individuals.
Virtual assistant. Eight years ago, when this concept was relatively new, startups offering similar services grew like mushrooms in the US and other countries. Fortunately, numerous offshoring call centers provided extremely cheap staff for such services. Today this market today this market has become very saturated, but a noticeable leader has not appeared on it. Such services have also appeared in Russia recently. If you need to sell the services of an underutilized call center, this might be a good idea. However, if you are starting a similar business from scratch, then start with a thorough market analysis and business plan. What exactly will you earn, how much and who will buy your services. Just don't be overly optimistic.
Video rental. Interestingly, are they still somewhere else? In my opinion, they are a thing of the past along with video tapes. In fact, I know a couple of places where you can still get DVDs, Blue Rey, all sorts of games for consoles and even video tapes. In addition, they sell various kinds of music discs, consumables and photo printing services. For some reason, I think that it is the second direction that brings the owners the main money. How many times I passed by - I never saw that there were more than 2 visitors inside at the same time. Unlimited internet, torrents and internet videos have made this niche absolutely unattractive for business.
Someone dreams of finding the most original business idea, but practice shows that it is the use of someone else's experience that makes it possible to earn faster and more, and the most successful small business projects in Russia, as a rule, were spied on west - in America or Europe (and more recently in China).

Choosing a business idea - What business to open in a year
According to his mentality, a rich person possesses (as the people say "grasp") - this is primarily your conscious state, thanks to which you focus all your skills, connections, knowledge, abilities and, of course, cunning, for in order to reach your ultimate goal.
The desire to start your own business, for sure, visited many. There can be several reasons for starting a business. The desire to realize your potential, to reach a new level of income, the opportunity to change the hated job "to the boss", etc. Whatever the reason for starting your own business, it is important to understand in what area to be realized. In this article, we will outline the best business ideas from scratch and talk in detail about the pros and cons of self-entrepreneurship.
The best business ideas from scratch
All successful businessmen who now own large companies once started their first steps. And it is not at all necessary that they had an impressive start-up capital available, which would allow them to immediately take a high bar in business.
Sometimes they entered the market with only one original idea and gradually went to the top of success.
Where to start?
Amid the economic crisis, the number of people thinking about starting a business is steadily growing. However, many of them are stopped by the fear of the unknown and ignorance of a certain course of action that will help to realize a business idea.
So, if you finally decide to start your own business, it is important to strictly follow these rules.
Do not take start-up capital on credit
On the one hand, the lack of initial funds for starting a business stops, but on the other hand, a loan from a bank is not an option.
Starting a business with debt is simply not economically sound. The profit that should be spent on business development will go to pay bank interest and, in the end, you will find yourself in a dead end.
Therefore, if you are really ready to go to the market and have a good business idea, try to find investors. Unlike creditors, they do not demand the return of interest, but are directly involved in the development of the case. Therefore, according to the terms of your agreement, you can not rush to return funds, but continue to invest in the business to increase profitability.
Attracting investors is the best option for those who really do not have money to purchase equipment, rent premises, etc. If there is enough money to take the first steps, then it is better to do it on your own. Gradually, you will increase the volume, but you will not need to give part of the profit to investors.
Come up with a business idea!
Business for a beginner is an opportunity not to go to work by 8-9 am. Everyone dreams of this, but only one out of 100 brings it to life. Everyone is afraid and does not know where to start. The first steps are always scary. To make a profit, you need to decide on a niche and work on it. It does not happen that he founded a business and immediately went to the money. For this you need to constantly work. The peculiarity of such a case is the absence of the need to carry out orders of third parties. Naturally, the businessman will work according to his own schedule, without being guided by the coercion of the leadership.
To open your own business you will need:
- To create or do something already familiar - everything that a person wants to do. Best of all, if it was fun.
- It is imperative to draw up the necessary action plan. Naturally, you need to live by the principle and have a business plan with every date and place of meetings and the like.
- It is imperative to collect the necessary capital. It is possible, of course, to act without him. But then business development may be delayed for a long period of time.
You will also need to create a website and promote your business to the people. Advertising is the engine of commerce. And the Internet is an opportunity to attract young people. Many people know about this, and some businessmen started their business with advertising on the Internet. It all depends on the chosen direction and location. Typically, newbies take on trade and catering franchises, services.
Many are starting to think about their business, but they ask those questions that they will not need in the near future. Often there are even questions that a person will never face at all while working in this area.
Frequent beginner mistakes
Naturally, everyone wants profit here and now. But unfortunately nothing happens so quickly. It takes a lot of time for a business to start making significant profits. It should be constant advertising and market conquest. Many start their own business without even calculating how much money will be needed to implement their ideas. And it is at this stage of creating their own business that many newcomers are cut off.
And calculating the future loss is quite simple. It is necessary to clarify what expenses will be per month, and then how much you need to sell the goods and with what mark-up. Naturally, this will make it possible to clarify how much expenses and how to recoup them. If the digital value is high enough, then it is better not to take on this type of office work. If a person nevertheless decides and has already counted how many goods need to be sold, then actions can be taken further. But you need to correctly assess your actions. Otherwise, you can try and try, but in reality you will get nothing.
Ideality
Naturally, every businessman wants his business to be perfect. In order for everything to be done correctly and beautifully, modern and expensive material, equipment is purchased, a website is created.
Due to the continuous growth of entrepreneurial activity on the territory of the Russian Federation, there are fewer and fewer free niches in which one can justify one's own business. And this, in turn, raises the question: what ideas for business in 2021 are better to implement in order to make them profitable. After all, being crushed by competition is not the best prospect. Well, the only way to increase your capital, in this case, will be a creative idea for your own business.
Ideas for business in - foreign ideas
When it comes to foreign business ideas (especially from America), the first thing that comes to mind is a mobile fast food, or a cafe with assorted milkshakes. However, these destinations were popular back in 2021, and today they can only be successful in small provincial cities. Well, if we consider the options for a successful business in a large city, then it is better to adopt the new items presented in the article below.
Mirror-sensor
Mirror-sensor, or as it is called abroad: Smart Mirror is a completely new business idea in the field of entertainment, which is actively used by foreign entrepreneurs, and which few domestic businessmen know about. The essence of this idea is to install an interactive mirror, which is capable not only of reflecting objects, but also adding special effects to the reflection, for every taste (inscriptions, fireworks, fire, and other animations).
At the same time, special effects can be not only standard (the memory of the innovative mirror contains about 200 animations and backgrounds), but also custom (a person can independently draw objects in the mirror with his finger). Well, at the end of the animation creation, the client will be able to save it in a processed form and transfer it to an electronic medium.
Another significant plus of such an interesting idea for a business is the lack of the need for a room. After all, you can install a mirror absolutely in any place where potential customers accumulate en masse (the installation of a touch mirror in public places should be discussed in advance with the city administration in order to avoid fines). Well, the best place for such an attraction can be a shopping and entertainment center, because in it:
There is a constant stream of potential customers;
There is no competition (the likelihood that one shopping center will have two identical attractions is almost zero. And besides, due to limited space, the growth of competition in general will always be controlled);
A small fee for a leased plot in a shopping center (the mirror takes up very little space. Therefore, to install it, it will be enough to rent only 1-2 square meters).
