1. Starts a service business

This is the easiest business you can start when you are fully employed. With a good marketing strategy and online marketing, you can go on to launch a successful business.

Service businesses range from freelance writing to online marketing. For freelance writing, you can buy a freelance account and then employ people to be writing client articles for you.

As you can see this is a business that doesn’t require you to quit your job at all.

2. Invest in real estate

I am sure you have heard of the newly launched Two Rivers shopping mall by the one and only, real estate business mogul, Chris Kirubi.

When Kirubi started investing in this area, many people thought he would not make it. He started by buying old buildings, renovating them and selling them.

If you put your mind into it, you can become the future Christ Kirubi. I never stop pumping it to anyone I meet, how an investment in real estate is the right path to follow nowadays.

If you listen to Classic 105, in the morning, Maina is always having very good deals of plots going at ridiculous prices. If you have some cash or ways of acquiring any, this could be a very goo investment.

3. Launch an online resource

People have discovered this hidden business opportunity and are already earning from it. Are you an expert in a certain area? You can choose to share your expertise with the world and still earn from it.

I am talking about e-book business. I have seen people who successfully sell e-books on recipes and they are earning money from it.

If you are not an expert in preparing culinary delights, look for your own niche. It may be selling people work out e-books, you never know.

4. Leverage the power of online shops

With the likes of Jumia, Kilimall or even Amazon, it has become easy to launch your own customer base on these platforms.

I know for sure that you can become a Jumia Agent for instance and sell your products through them.

I happen to be one of the beneficiaries of this online shopping mall. The advantage with these online platforms is that you don’t need to do so much aggressive marketing because these stores have already established themselves as the best.

You just have to sit back and watch your money grow while in the office.

5. Join the sharing economy

Did you know you could help other people and still earn from it? The sharing economy means renting out something you have to other people and charging them for it.

For instance, you may have a camera lying around in the house that you rarely use except on special occasions. You can rent out the camera to a friend or someone you know who needs a camera for their business.

You can also rent out that spare room or compound to someone who needs space to host their event.

In short, it’s all about giving back to the community, if you see it that way and earning something extra on the side

6. Get paid for what you are doing now

You can become a consultant for the job you are currently doing. For instance, if you are in events planning, you can get your own client pool and be offering those services.

You know someone who has an upcoming event? Ask them to give you the job of planning their event. They will be more likely to trust you with their event seeing that it’s what you are actually doing.

It’s all about getting out of the comfort zone and realizing that you can also make money for yourself rather than just enriching your boss.

In a nutshell

There are so many opportunities out there if only, you know how to look. You don’t have to wait from end month to end month to get something in your account.

You can launch a side hustle today. Just pick from the many business ideas I have discussed and you never know, one of them might end up being your main hustle, that’s how great business moguls, like Kirubi, are born.
