Businesses are not about creative ideas, they are about solving problems.

It's usually the most boring businesses that make the most money. If you're looking for a source of entertainment, you are much better off investing your money in something else.

If you haven't already, I highly recommend reading The Millionaire Fastlane - especially parts 7 and 8.

Once you read the book and internalize what MJ teaches, you'll see ideas and opportunities all around you.

Thank you for the recommendation. Because I'm out of the USA do you think that there are niches in which have a place for new people to get in?

If you can outperform your competition and do something better than them, you can enter any niche you want.

Y-Combinator are a tech startup accelerator. They run a startup school, which will help you, regardless of whether or not you want to create a tech on-prem/IaaS/PaaS/SaaS/ solution, or want to sell premium bananas at your local street market.

One of the important things is product-market-fit, so you need to make sure your have a product that addresses a demand in the market. Instead of 'finding a creative idea' for a business as you mention, you ideally want to 'notice a problem' that can be solved. Unless you have FU money that you want to risk on the small probability of becoming a market disruptor somewhere.

Seedrs has options for investing in small startups. Read up on other options and form your own opinion, though.

How much capital do you have? If you don't have a substantial capital that you can risk losing, I'd simply go for regular, established companies on the LSE or NAZDAC. Given that we are going into a bear market, if you have money saved, you can easily invest in a company that isn't going anywhere anytime soon, but where the shares have dropped temporarily. Here a company will be more likely to give a return.

If you invest in startups, you might find that you can't liquidate your shares for a few years. Also, the VC/PE firm situation is f*cked up at the moment. Oversubscriptions in investment to companies means that a lot of startup companies that look great now, that you can invest in, might not have enough capital to ride out the next few years without firing a % of their workforce or putting major developments on halt.

Ако инвестирате в стартиращи фирми, може да откриете, че не можете да ликвидирате акциите си за няколко години. Също така, ситуацията с VC/PE фирмата е прецакана в момента. Свръхзаписът в инвестиции за компании означава, че много стартиращи компании, които изглеждат страхотно сега, в които можете да инвестирате, може да нямат достатъчно капитал, за да изкарат следващите няколко години, без да уволнят % от работната си сила или да спрат големи разработки

I get you ....but I think that if the niche is more specific it will be more profitable. You have to offer something more than others. If you sell coffe give ppl free cookies ....or make donation at the end of the month...this way ppl will feel that they bring something positive

If you have a specific skill, you can start with a consulting business.

Growing a community around your skill can be powerful option to diversify your income like making online courses, providing in person services, sell ebook on your skill..etc.

You can start with a simple landing page, promote via social ads, and publishing some helpful articles, with SEO help, it can grow better.

Great! Seems like you already know what you want to do now. Keep going.

I did ran a Green tea product online store like few years ago, i did made all the package design, product procurement from Japan, Branding, SEO and Promotions as well. Its a hard work initially, but once you get going well, have employee resources to help you with all these stuff. :)

All the best.

Страхотен! Изглежда вече знаете какво искате да правите. Продължавай.

Управлявах онлайн магазин за продукти за зелен чай, както преди няколко години, направих целия дизайн на опаковката, закупуване на продукти от Япония, брандиране, SEO и промоции. Първоначално това е упорита работа, но след като вървите добре, имайте ресурси от служители, които да ви помогнат с всички тези неща. :)

Всичко най-хубаво.
Hello
Can you explain me more if you have vision . For me will be interesting to tell me more about the process and the way the things happen . Thank you in advance!

Actually i ran a ecommerce store which sold Matcha green tea, which i imported from Japan. So all the branding, packaging, selling all done by myself.

Regarding with packaging, i used simple and eco friendly design, also materials. I packed wooden scoop with the package, so my buyers can use it while they drink matcha. Also it was unique from my competitors, because they used a plastic packs for their product.

It ran well and once pandemic hits, i had to wind down because of issue with shipping. Over all it was a great experience, made good amount of cash.
