It is another year and you are finally going to start a business but you have no idea what kind of business to start, don’t worry because this guide will give you some great ideas and tips on great businesses for women to start in 2018! There are a lot of untapped business opportunities around you that you can start this 2018 and we are going to help you tap into them.

But before you choose a business, you have to answer the following five crucial questions:

·         What is my level of preparedness?
·         How much capital do I have?
·         What is my business plan and how strong is it?
·         How many employees do I need for my business?
·         What business ideas do I have in mind?




Whether you are a housewife, Mom or single woman, one of the following businesses could be perfect for you. Many of the businesses listed here require little or no capital.

A daycare center
One of the best businesses for women out there is to start a daycare center, especially if you are someone who loves to be around kids. You can start a daycare center from home, and you don’t need huge capital to start this. This business is especially suitable for moms and women with experience in caring for children.

A medical transcription service
If you have a great typing skill and excellent command of the English Language, you can start a medical transcription service. This service is always in demand because most doctors and medical centers prefer outsourcing their transcription, thus presenting you a chance to make money. The best part of this business is that it only requires minimal equipment and low overhead.

Gift basket
If you’re creative and have an eye for excellent art designs; then you are good to start making gift baskets from home. You can make a lot of money especially during the Thanksgiving Day, Easter, Valentine Day, Christmas, etc.

Online and offline tutoring
Online and offline tutoring no longer caters to only people with learning disabilities or struggling children, you can take your tutoring skills online.

An elderly care service
Some older citizens need help to go through their daily lives and you can decide to offer them your service. This business is good because you don’t need capital to start it.

Cleaning business
The cleaning business is a service people will always need because it is a big market. So you can start a cleaning business if you have the capital to buy the equipment required. It is a lucrative business.

E-Commerce
Now more than ever selling products online is a BIG money maker for women! Of course you may know this is my favorite way if you follow me on my social media. In 2017 I made over $10,000 selling part-time online through Facebook alone! This does not include sales from other online platforms such as Poshmark, EBay and OfferUP. You can also sell items on your own website. You can see an example of my Shopify store Dime Diva and even build your own store with Shopify. You can start small and build your way up you are in total control of your own business!

Social Media Influencer
You don’t have to have a huge following or lots of money to start making money as an influencer. There are many companies that will pay you to post their products or give you a percentage of sales that come from your post. Sites like FIVERR have many people who will pay a “regular person” to post about their products.

Digital downloads
Are you an “expert” at something? Can you teach others how to do a certain thing? If you can then you may be missing out on money. Selling eBooks, classes and how-to videos is big business. Maybe teaching isn’t your thing but you are creative or an artist. You can make a lot of money selling your art on sites like etsy.  This business model takes very little money to start!

There are more than enough businesses out there, and you should definitely start one this year!
