As more and more Indians grow health conscious, fresh juices without preservatives are emerging as a popular healthy alternative to cold drinks. This is why the humble juice bar has made into this small business ideas list for India as a top option for a potentially successful venture. While one is at it, diversification into related drinks especially (perhaps less healthy) summer drinks like lemonade, buttermilk and lassi might also work out well for this small business. Of course one can decide to go the whole hog and get started with a fully loaded food truck instead. As long as the food/drinks provided are of high quality and all the requisite permits are in order, ensuring success of this business idea should not be too hard.

It is proven that small businesses with an online footprint tend to do better than those that do not have an online footprint. So amazingly, this start up business idea is focused on providing a range of online services to various small and medium businesses. This is the reason why social media experts, bloggers, website designers and developers are in high demand these days. Such businesses require only basic computer systems, software and high speed internet connection to set up but they do require the entrepreneur to be skillful at what they do. Related businesses that can be successfully operated online include ghostwriting, freelancing and online translation services.
Blogging
If one has to pick a single money making idea from a list of internet based small businesses from home, blogging, v-logging (video blogging) have the potential to be money spinners. As long as it is interesting, it does not matter what one writes or makes a video about. Even many top rated performance artists, including stand-up comedians have considered this as a potential way to expand their reach. The goal is of course to maximize the number of views or readers of the vlog or blog through creation of interesting content. In case of certain vlog platforms, one gets paid based on the number of views while in case of most blogs adverting revenues generated through Google AdSense help the business make money.
Cookery Classes
In case a skillful professional cook does not fancy the idea of slogging it out at a restaurant or food truck business, there is an alternative – cookery classes. This is a trend that’s catching on among urban families in India as something that couples do together and create something that’s delicious yet healthy. What’s more, it is even possible to carry out these classes both in person and online or one could make a vlog teaching others the intricacies of culinary skills. The scope to expand and monetize from potential market segments that one might not be able to reach otherwise increases manifold by taking advantage of the online route.
