‘Entrepreneur’
is a term used for those individuals who have their own successful business,
big or small. Majority of the entrepreneurs in Pakistan is men. A few women
have started their own business. There are many reasons for which the culture
of women entrepreneurship is not prevailing in Pakistan; women are economically
weak, they have low literacy rate, parents do not allow their daughters to
start business, male society have negative outlook for the entrepreneur girls,
women do not know well about the existing opportunities for them, and much
more. If you are a woman, and want to start your own business, you are really a
great woman.
Self employed women are more confident, more powerful, more
visionary, more professional, more critical and lovelier in terms of social
qualities. Timidity and shyness are no more preferable things. Be in yourself
and stick to your ambition. Work hard and prove yourself. I am sure the people
who are doubtful about you, will see you with proud. They will give your examples
to their descendants.
Are
you ready to take the plunge? I have compiled a list of secure businesses with
very small investment so that you can start your business without any
difficulty. I have given brief instructions for you against every business so
that you may understand how you can start that business.
1. Start an academy/school/tuition center
If
you have a graduate degree and sound intellect, teaching is a good choice for
you. You can start teaching the children in your home. Just ask your neighbors
to send their children to your home for tuition. Tell your friends about your
teaching class. Tell everyone and gather more students. But let me tell you one
thing. You will end up with your struggle if you don’t focus on quality. Keep
in mind that parental satisfaction and good grades of your students are the
first thing that will make you popular.
Once
you get popular in your locality and you have sufficient number of students,
you can reserve a separate room or portion of your home to start a regular
academy. Then you can hire a building to start school later when you are
earning a handsome income.
2. Start a boutique
If
you have sewing skills and you can sew fancy dresses neatly, why don’t you
start your own boutique? Don’t worry about so many boutiques already
established. The thing again is your uniqueness. Let me give you a tip; use
internet for latest dress designs and fashion trends, look at fashion magazine
pages. If you are able to produce a nice and attractive dress, the customers
will automatically attract to your work. And another thing is that do pay
attention to the needs of your specific customers. Always be polite and have
smiling face; that’s the need of business. Build strong market links and referral
mechanism to get more work order.
You
do not need a big show room in the start of your business. Just start it from
your own. Sew clothes for yourself, then for your family members, then for your
relatives, neighbors and friends. Then display your work in your own bedroom. Invite
your friends and relatives to your small collection of beautiful dresses. Similarly
grow your fans and you will have a nice market one day. Then you will be able
to get a big shop to display your work.
Embroidery
is your plus point if you know it yourself. Your embroidery work will attract
more customers
3. Open a beauty salon
If
you can make beautiful Mehndi designs and hair dressing, you are able to open
your own beauty salon. Start free Mehndi services. Your friends will definitely
pass on the message of your skills to other people. Similarly start make up
services to your friends and relatives. Make hair designs of your sisters and
mother and relatives. Once you get popular, start receiving fee of your services.
Start your won beauty salon form your home corner. Once you are well known in
the locality and if you have creative approach and talent, you will see your
customers sitting in a queue waiting for their turn.
4. Sell your handicrafts
If
you have any handicraft skills like making frames, wooden articles, paper show
pieces, hand fans, cloth printing, straw articles etc, then don’t waste more
time in planning. Just start selling you articles from home. You can also sell
these things online through Facebook and through online stores like amazon,
shopify, and daraz.pk. These websites offer you free services. You just need to
create and account and post your products with pictures, details and price.
These
sites get small commission on every sale. They also promote your products on
the internet so that more and more people could see your store. It increases your sales
and market.
Otherwise
you can make beautiful articles and show them to your friends and relatives. Offer
cheap rates and discount in the start. There are special Bazaars like Friday
Bazaar, Sunday Bazaar, etc which held on specific days on weekly basis. Exhibit
your products there and you will be earning on the very first day.

Day
care center is a nice idea for those who are well experienced with babysitting.
Open a day care center at your home. Tell your neighbors about your plans and convince
them to let their baby stay at your day care center while they go on job. Read
more things from the internet about day care centers. Win the trust of the parents
and expend your services to other nearby families. Once you are known to small
number of parents, they will bring you more. Then involve other girls like you
and establish a professional day care center.
6. Start you own website/blog

blog today. Start writing about the topics you love and know much about. Write
on your favorite topics and promote your blog/website. Write quality content

posts. Link your best posts on Facebook, twitter, google+, pinterest and other
social media sites. Get more visitors to your site/blog. This is very good business
but it requires more effort and sacrifice. Once your blog/website is at good
ranking in search engines, you can start advertising on your website/blog and
earning money. Once your website has specific number of visitors per day, you
can make money with your website by many methods…
7. Buy and Sell on eBay
If you use have sound knowledge of
computer and internet, you can start your business of resale. You can sign up
for the sites like eBay and purchase and sell the goods online. For this, you
just need to build links with those who sell their goods on these sites. You
will purchase those things in reasonable price and you will sell those things
again on the internet. You can post ads on various websites that offer used
things for sale. This is very useful business and requires no investment.
There are many other businesses that give you more profit but they need huge investment and require professional or technical knowledge..
