April 26: Running an online business has its own appeal but it also has its own challenges. Starting a business requires a lot of hard work and effort but if done right then all of this is worth it. In India, many people have started their own online businesses and we are seeing the results, with those people earning a handsome income through their business. So, what are the various business ideas that are profitable in India? Let’s find out:

1. Start A Clothing-line

If you have got some creativity in your mind and got some spare time then you can get your own clothing company started. You will get the chance to create products that people will use every day and once your business gets rolling, it is guaranteed to keep on rolling. If you have got good designs inside your head then perhaps it’s time to transform them into real ones and use that to earn a profit for yourself. 

Clothing or garments is a business sector that cannot go out of the market because as long as humans are alive they will continue to use clothing products. Although there come changes in fashion trends every now and then, that doesn’t mean this industry will go out of business.

2. Dropshipping

Dropshipping is another great choice for a side business idea to start online in India. You don’t need to have a warehouse full of inventory to run your business, you can just set up a dropshipping store and hit the ground as soon as possible. You will just have to list pre-existing products from a supplier and promote them in your store. The rest will be taken care of by the supplier including things like packaging, delivery, etc.

For youngsters in India who want to make a name for themselves and earn a decent amount of money, dropshipping is a great option. There is a minimal risk involved with drop shipping because of less upfront cash requirement and no need for a warehouse. It can prove a great side business for many youngsters in India.

3. Selling Artwork

If you are a painter, calligrapher, musician, or photographer then there are plenty of ways by which you can sell your artwork online. You can take help from social media platforms and showcase your art on your social media handles and turn your artwork into a source of income for yourself. We have seen many talented artists showcasing their skills on platforms like Omegle.

So how can you earn a profit by selling artwork? If you have got great painting skills then you can accept customized painting orders and have those done and then deliver those to customers. Similarly, if you have got good sketching skills then you make custom sketches for people. You just need to build an audience for yourself first and then orders will start rolling in themselves.

4. Become A Virtual Assistant

You can also become a virtual assistant and spend your leisure time earning a good income for yourself. If you are organized and want to help others with their business, personal, or professional lives then you can become a Virtual Assistant. Most people might consider virtual assistant to be a term specific for business only but that is not the case, it can be for professional life as well as personal life.

There is a broad spectrum of duties that a virtual assistant can perform such as appointment scheduling, marketing management, transaction management, etc. There has been an increase in demand for VA in the past few years as many people hire virtual assistants who help them to expand and grow their businesses.

5. Selling Handmade Goods

In India, another business idea that is very much popular and you can try yourself as a side hustle is to create and sell handmade goods. Whether it is handmade jewelry, furniture, utensils, or some agreements, you can showcase your craft skills and sell your handmade goods online. There are platforms like Craigslist, Etsy, etc where you can showcase your products or if you want then you can create your own online store.

You will just need to build an audience for yourself which you can do so by showcasing your products on social media and even on Coomeet. This will help develop an audience for your products, who will be interested in buying your products. 

6. Freelancing

If you feel like you have got skills then you can also try to become a freelancer. There are various skills that you can offer as a freelancer such as content writing, content marketing, app development, graphic designing, voice-over, and much more. This is a great side hustle that many people in India are doing along with their studies or job and they are able to earn a handsome amount of money for themselves every month.

If you feel like you have got the skills then you can offer them on platforms like Fiverr or UpWork and try to find clients who will be interested in your services. In the start, it can take a while but once it gets going, it gets going for real.
