"Win-win for both parties" Entrepreneurship is about solving problems in the world (Part 2)

Hello

Let's continue from last time.

• Online Shop

• Franchises and agencies

• Sewing service

Here are three ideas for starting a business: First, start an online shop

This one should be self-explanatory.

There are many online shops such as Amazon, Rakuten Market, and Mercari, and I think modern people are familiar with them to the point of being sick of them, but it is also possible for individuals to start their own shops.

What do you basically sell?

That being said, what about a quick way to get started with apparel?

It's something people wear, and there are many people who spend money on clothes regardless of the season.

If it were no-brand, it would be next to nothing, but if it were a branded item, the cost ratio could exceed 80%.

As for where to get it, there is a factory that sells it for 100 yen.

All you have to do is pick out the clothes that are being dropped off here and sell them.

I think this would be fun, like a treasure hunt, but it needs to be put into production.

The initial cost is around 20,000 to 40,000 yen, so if you're thinking about starting a business, it might be a good idea to do it in the hopes of finding some branded items.

However, the apparel industry is extremely competitive, and even if you release just one or two items, they may not sell.

It requires account power, and only those who decide to do it will benefit.

However, even if it's not apparel, if you can get tableware and food at low prices, you will win someday.

There is a term called the long tail in online shopping marketing.

The idea is that if you keep a product that doesn't sell well on an online store, where there is no limit to the number of shelves it can be displayed on, it will eventually sell for a long time.

Sure, the profit margins are high for products that sell well, but since it's basically a shop, I want them to compete on the basis of their product lineup.

Since it is basically a shop, if the shop has a good reputation, the account power will naturally increase.

It may be slow at first, but if you keep at it for a long time, you will definitely sell at least one product.

If the effort and cost are worth it, opening an online store is not a bad idea.

It's easy to get started, and depending on how you develop it, you could make hundreds of millions in annual sales.

As for popular items, figurines and Pokemon cards are the standard.

Some people have even renovated their homes to set up display shelves, so if you have the space, this is a business I'd recommend you try.

Next, franchises and agencies

This is a technique often used by convenience stores and door-to-door salespeople, but it can basically be applied to anything.

Even if the owner can't do it, if you can find someone who can, it's a business that will work.

There's no need for you to work, right?

Even though it's in operation, the owner has his own things to do, so it's not like he's just playing around.

Business direction and planning ability put to the test

It is also an important job to occasionally visit the stores and workers to see if they are doing well.

Basically, the owner doesn't have to do anything, just the ability to find people.

There are various types of franchises to choose from.

For example, restaurants, convenience stores, massage parlors, door-to-door sales, real estate sales, mobile phone sales, etc.

If possible, there would be agencies and franchises for artists, musicians, 3D designers, video creators, web designers, and voice actors.

What you need to do is find people and ask for their help.

Of course, without an understanding of the business, it would be difficult to motivate people.

Next, sewing service

This is a service that sews clothes for you.

You may wonder why I would pay for something like this, but it's just a proxy service.

Surprisingly, there aren't many places that will repair your clothes.

If you have the skills, you should be able to provide USB repair services or game console repair services.

If we look into the business of agency services, we can see that even cleaning and housekeeping services can generate substantial profits.

The important thing is to keep doing it every day.

The reason you can't visualize yourself being successful is because you don't keep going

The first thing to check is to research the profitability of your business.

There are good and bad times in it.

Instead of thinking only about the negative aspects, you should visualize yourself as you would be.

Even if you go on a diet, you won't lose weight unless you restrict your food intake and continue exercising.

The same is true in the business world.

If you don't continue, there's no point

All you have to do is ensure profitability and maintain motivation to continue.

I have to keep going no matter what

How many people give up after about 800 meters when running the 1000 meters?

Business is an endurance race.

I'm not saying that you'll definitely make money if you keep going, but you shouldn't give up right away just because you're rejected a little.

It is something that will be fine-tuned each time.

But if you can do it, it will increase your income.

Basically, business will not work unless it is a win-win relationship.

I know I have to act with an altruistic spirit, but I also have to think about my own profits.

Must be selfish

It may be a long and difficult road, but if you do it, you will see results.

People who don't see results give up halfway, or people who can't make money no matter how hard they try have the wrong focus.

To avoid this, always be sure to gather information and improve yourself.
