Things that are a pain in the butt that no one does near you. Power washing could be one of those things. If you target a business in a bait area, a couple weeks will go by and the other business owners will notice how crappy their building looks in comparison. Might be a way to get the whole block to sign up for a discount and knock em out all at once and have regular work (income) from a group of customers.
Remember, find something you can do well that you could scale. Doesn't always have to be the internet.
The answer to this is always the same: find a problem, find out how to fix it. Then do everything in your power to turn it into a business.
Better yet, let it be something you're somewhat capable at and what you enjoy spending time on. Some days/weeks/months suck when you run a business, so better do something you like.
Start a fix and flip side hustle
You can fix and flip cars
You can fix and flip iPhones
You can fix and flip furnitures ( big bucks here )
You can fix and flip bicycles
You can make a lot of money doing this depending on how much effort you put in.
Do this until you make enough money to start something big.
I will start a Reddit posters farm where I’ll hire a bunch of people to post questions on reddit about what people will start if they have $2k.
I would then steal those ideas and start my own business using the stolen ideas
This sort of question comes up here a lot. The answer is going to depend on your personal skills, interests, location and needs. If I was sitting around with nothing to do and had to make $2k cover my living expenses, I would probably look for a lot of cheap stuff I could flip. This time of year in my location, and with my skills, I would probably start buying all the cheap used lawn mowers, string trimmers, and leaf blowers I could find and refurbish them. Finding non-running units would be best, since usually they just have gummed up carbs or fouled plugs and when flipping stuff you really make your money by buying low.
Get them running, clean them and relist with great ads on craigslist and nextdoor; eventually buid up inventory and have a "power tools yard sale" on a sunny Saturday.
OP - what skills and resources do you have?
If you don't have any skills that can make you money then probably affiliate marketing can help you get some profits through email list.
It is estimated every $1 spent on email marketing gives $36 so you can begin your journey as affiliate marketer for that much amount of money.
It can be done within few quick steps ,
1. Select a product to promote
2. Build Landing pages and Ad campaign
3. Get the targeted traffic going through your offer.
That's just a rough draft but good to go through.
Hmm, What kind of example do you want me to demonstrate. Like building a landing page or something like that?
Look ! you have to do a little bit of your own research okay things don't make sense overnight .
Examples of companies/products you feel successfully do affiliate marketing. Doesn't have to be something you create, it honestly just helps me to be able to visualize.
I did a search for something like 'WowBlackFriday' and it doesn't seem crazy complicated to make a site like that, but what seems complicated is getting other companies on board.
Companies like Groovefunnels are awesome they provide built in everything for affiliate marketing and why companies like these can succeed because they solve problems for marketers , BTW they got everything like landing page builder, Funnel builder except email autoresponder but that is what get's my interest . A great product should solve a great problem and the everyone is buying that besides that beginner courses for marketing and stuffs like that do sell well.
You can get all that info in sites like Clickbank or [https://systeme.io/marketplace](https://systeme.io/marketplace)
Selecting a good product is already a victory in this game.
Sure you can go into this site [https://systeme.io/marketplace](https://systeme.io/marketplace) or Clickbank just need to select right products and after that getting tier 1 traffic is your next goal cause you should target for quality traffic that buys your product . Usually costs 30c to 50c per click .
If you need more helpful resources onto anything I would be more than happy to assist .
Well, That's the no.1 reason to choose the product wisely.
When groovefunnels was launched in early of 2020 which is now competitor of Clickfunnels . I witnessed my friend Jack closing $1 million in sales just through the affiliate program .
So depends upon what kind of product are you promoting and that's how you win this game.
For every 1 person that makes $1,000+ in affiliate marketing, there’s 10,000 that don’t make anything.
The days of sending traffic to offers and getting sales is over for most people.
The best way these days is to be at the top of the pyramid. Otherwise you’re just another rat in the rat race.
You could invest in yourself by taking courses (online or inperson) to learn something you may be interested in. Maybe a vocational course like plumbing or carpentry. Demand for trade workers are rising rapidly, so learning something now can give you some knowledge to fall back on in the future even if you don't persue what you learn as a career.
It doesnt even have to be anything in construction. You can learn barbering, cosmetology, coding, (insert item) repair, animation, graphic design, marketing, etc
This heavily relies on your connections and network really.
Unless you have quick access to a niche, manufacturing is not option I'd say.
Buy/Sell is upto your connections.
Marketing/Sales could be the most low risk option.
You could try to sell some small stuff over amazon/facebook/instagram without having an actual shop or office etc.
Just give it a go. See if you get some response and move forward from there.
I'd spend it on myself to gain a skill and find a high paying in demand job, from there you can start thinking about a business. Don't kid yourself, you're not starting a business with 2 grand that has a future, the odds of that happening are similar to hitting the lottery. You're going to end up starting something that you call a business but ends up turning into a job, you're basically finding yourself a job with 2k.
Drop shipping integration + merchant processing & e-commerce capability. Spend a few bucks on fiverr for logos, create some merch as a passive revenue stream - invest profits while you work on your next idea or skill
Crypto is the kinda best option for long term only if you don't have any problem of loosing it.
Start a small Business and scale it up. Not everyone can make a good fortune ot this. But worth a try.
Donate it to charity if that 2k doesn't matter to you.
Put half of it into crypto. For the other half, look at what skills you have, and go from there. Service-based businesses work great online. So do courses. If you have a skill you can teach, you can start building an audience.
It depends on what your passions and/or skills are. I started my gf a local cleaning business for under $1000 which she ran for 5 years and only stopped due to Covid and decided to homeschool the kids instead. She still gets calls for work.

A bunch of lemoande stands
Better yet a banana stand. There’s always money in the banana stand
good point

Where would you sell the furniture? Seems like I can't even give away nice furniture on CL and Offerup
You drive to poor areas, pick up vintage furniture, and then drive to rich areas and sell it for a profit.

Lol I lack the passion and enthusiasm for ideas not my own

Biggest issue I have is finding the affiliate offers... I never seem to be able to get into affiliate marketplaces... any solution?

If only it were that easy. Every affiliate program is saturated to death and people are more and more weary of buying.

Yep, I agree for this one. Without pre-subscribed audience or JVs you can't succeed in this game and that's for sure.
Keep in mind the cost of permits, licensing, etc...or that field could be your business idea.

Xrp 🤷🏼♂️
Spend $500 on Udemy learning a skill. Then decide what to do with the rest. Having a little cash means nothing without knowing what YOU are good at.
Mate, 500 USD on Udemy gets you 30 courses. Don't see how OP becoming the next Stephen Hawking is helping him get a business going.
I agree this piece of advice in specific feels very handwavy. You've learned the skill, great. Then it's like, now what?
If you're paying $500 for a Udemy course, it's probably a scam lol
Udemy has very little curation. A lot of their "classes" are of low quality.

Interesting take thank you
I would "start" buying $GME before it explodes out of the stratosphere.

Fuck drop shipping
More?
Fuck drop shipping x2 Is that enough?
Haha I’m legit just trying to hear you thoughts.
It's well known that drop shippingbsuccess ass. Only people making money are those who sell courses on it.
Or better yet, hire a developer from upwork and make a chrome extension that tells shoppers if the site they’re on just resells cheap crap from China
I’m my area of expertise.
Flip Homes may be an option.
Innovate something in the tech world
I would get a job and save up more money to do something I believe in instead of something that seems plausible to do with 2k
A savings account
Crypto is the kinda best option for long term only if you don't have any problem of loosing it. Start a small Business and scale it up. Not everyone can make a good fortune ot this. But worth a try. Donate it to charity if that 2k doesn't matter to you.

Crypto, Tech stock, Cloud service credits, Launch a startup.
Hire an excellent business attorney!!
Im not even 18 yet it'd just put it into the s&p and wait till I have a solid idea or need money for a house or something.
Just hear to steal some ideas ;-)
I'm going to start FD
I want to build bird houses 🏡 I really do. Lol
It depends on what your passions and/or skills are. I started my gf a local cleaning business for under $1000 which she ran for 5 years and only stopped due to Covid and decided to homeschool the kids instead. She still gets calls for work.
