If you have an eye for creativity and you have a good aesthetic sense, this might be the best idea for you to start a small business.

Online retail shops can do wonders if the design is good and the clothes you make are comfortable. You can easily use any room in your house to start this venture and start earning.

2. Photography

In case you have good photography skills, and you know how to capture people and places, this might be the best business idea for you. You only have to buy a camera to get started, and then you build a portfolio gradually.
