5 other ideas to start a business without money during the crisis

A few weeks ago we published an article on the blog that greatly interested our readers: 5 business ideas that do not need investment . In this article we are going to expand the possibilities with 5 other ideas, all inspired by the opportunities within the crisis.


1- Redesign CV

The worst consequence of the current economic crisis is undoubtedly unemployment. But many people do not know how to write a resume. If the probability that a company chooses our CV among the thousands it receives for a job offer is low, this probability becomes null if the CV is not well written. A person with experience in selection processes can perfectly help the unemployed to redesign their CV , in exchange for charging a small amount, which multiplied by a large number of clients, could be enough to have a good income.

The services could be expanded with tips to prepare a job interview, thanks to a virtual interview by Webcams.

2- Broker of works budgets

When an individual or a company has to do a work, he usually looks for several professionals and each one sends him his budget. The problem is that in many cases the budgets are not comparable because the technical specifications are not the same. The idea we are proposing would suit a construction professional very well . It is about going to the clients' houses to write the technical specifications of the work and then looking for the best price in a network of professionals. The chosen professional would be charged a commission on the work done.

3- Remote DIY Tips

Another tip that would serve certain construction professionals. It's all about setting up a remote DIY tips website. Television programs on the subject and the lack of money due to the crisis have encouraged many individuals to dare to do some work at home themselves . However, sometimes they get stuck and need advice. In this case they could show the expert by WebCam where they are going, and receive their help. The service would be paid for connection minutes.

4- Car expertise

Two other consequences of the crisis are that individuals buy more used cars and that there are a large number of qualified mechanics unemployed. A good idea for one of these professionals is to offer their services to assess the car and reassure the buyer. A fixed amount of around € 100 could be charged, an amount sufficient to make it worthwhile for the professional and not so large for the individual compared to the price of the car or the risk of future breakdowns.

5- Sell on Ebay for others

Many people try to get some income by selling items they have at home and they have plenty. However, selling successfully on Ebay is not that easy, among other things because the reputation of the seller is very important. A person who pays well on this platform might consider selling others' products and charging for ads or a commission on sales.

If you are interested in working from home, we advise you to read these 4 ideas and also these other 3 .

Before launching your idea, test it with a good business plan

In a highly  competitive  market , it is sometimes difficult to break into companies that have been established longer than you or have more resources.  We then tend to lower the prices of our products or services in the hope of attracting potential customers.  Obviously, your prices communicate an idea of ​​what you are, of your expertise, of how you judge your own services.  Difficult to appear as an expert if you are half the price of your  competition .  Quality pays for itself and everyone is aware of this, as are your customers! Price is far from the only lever to position yourself and win sales.  Lowering prices, when they are well valued, of course, is never the answer.  This will only send a negative message about your business.  So, you will say to me, how to position yourself against the giants of your sector, how to position yourself in a congested sector?

Many people wonder "  what happens if I cancel insurance in the middle of the year"  .  Especially in the cases of motorcycle insurance or car insurance.  The main question is usually if the companies are going to return the amount of the proportional part that remains to be "spent" until the end of the contracted term. A few days ago we told you  what to do to change your insurance company . And there we explained the legal obligation to  notify the company of the change two months in advance.  And the company's obligation to notify the user of the next expiration and renewal of the insurance, also with those two months. It should be clear that what is contracted when signing an  insurance policy,  of any branch, is an  annual insurance contract .  This means that once the policy takes effect the contract does not expire until after the year.  And this is independent of the form of payment that is established in each case. There are policies that are paid annua
