The Easiest Businesses To Start In 2025 (Ranked From Worst To Best)

if you want to build an online income in 2025 it's not as simple as just picking a random business especially if you have no experience the truth is if you don't pick the right business you could end up wasting thousands of dollars and months of your life that's why in this video I want to break down the worst and best businesses you can start in 2025 so you know exactly what models to avoid and the ones that will actually make you money and the best part is the businesses towards the end of the list don't

require any crazy skills or thousands of dollars to get started in fact they are the exact businesses I would start if I was a complete beginner with no money and no experience but first let's start with the businesses I highly recommend you avoid in 2025 if you want to build a successful business and quit your 9 to-5 okay so these are businesses like starting some sort of digital agency real estate investing stock trading and basically any brick and mor business like Cafe carts or restaurants now you might have heard a bunch of gurus online recommend

starting some of these businesses but let me explain why I personally think you should stay far away from these if you are new to business the first problem with these types of businesses is that most of them require a large amount of money to get started for example at some point maybe you've had a cool idea about a new type of cafe or physical business business that you think would do well well just to open the shop before you even know if the idea will work you're looking at spending at least 100,000 or more which

is extremely risky if you have no previous experience running this type of business and same goes for real estate investing or stock trading these businesses require thousands to get started and the chances of you making money if you have no experience is extremely low but you might be thinking what about a digital agency you don't need thousands of dollars to get started and that might be true but the agency model runs into the second big problem with the businesses I've mentioned which is that they require you to have a bunch of specialized skills to be

successful for example let's say you want to start a video content agency to be successful with this type of business you would need skills like video editing lead generation Marketing Systems and operations and Team Management this is why so many beginners start these types of businesses end up losing thousands of dollars and eventually fail they pick businesses that require high level skills and then make the mistake of thinking there's something wrong with them when in reality if they simply picked a more beginner friendly business they would likely see results almost instantly so now let's take

a look at a full list of beginner-friendly businesses that you can start in 2025 ranked from worst to best okay so the first business on the list is Drop Shipping now I put this business first because although it has its challenges it's still a crazy opportunity that has relatively low barrier to entry in fact this was the first business I ever started and after failing multiple times I did eventually succeed I tested over 10 products before one was finally profitable but that product went on to make me $60,000 at just 17 years old or there's

people like Davey who in 2018 started out Drop Shipping a product called the ODI since since then this product has made over 500 million in sales so there's definitely an opportunity for the right person here but let me just say that although I eventually succeeded and there are people like Davey who use Drop Shipping to create a massive e-commerce Empire it does come with some big risks it requires at least $300 to get started and that's only if you decide to do the organic advertising through platforms like Tik Tok if you decide to run paid

ads realistically You' need need anywhere between 3,000 to 5,000 to give you the best chance of success it's not as simple as building a website putting up some ads and making millions it requires a bunch of other skills like Inventory management customer service and marketing that's why it's the first on this list because I do think it's a good opportunity but only if you're willing to put in the work to learn the skills and be okay with not making money for the first few months but if you're someone who just doesn't want to take that

risk and also wants to start making money within their first 30 days then the next business on the list might be for you and that's starting some sort of freelancing business this could be things like becoming a freelance copywriter video editing programming or website designing basically the reason these businesses are so great for beginners is that you only need to learn one skill and you can start making money within just a few weeks for example I have a friend who started a freelance copyrighting business in 2021 he was moving to Europe and needed a way

to make money so he created a Fiverr profile and within just 2 weeks of launching he was getting paid enough to pay for basic living expenses then over the next few months he built the business into a full-time income and was able to travel all around Europe while still making money from his laptop and honestly I believe that if you're willing to put in the work this is 100% possible for you if you want to start making money as soon as possible then a service-based freelancing business is one of the best ways to get started

but you might be wondering well if it's so great then why is it at the lower end of this list well it's because as a freelancer you're still tied to trading time for money this means that eventually you're going to cap your income basically you can only take on so many clients before you burn out so while this business is great to get started it's not the best if you want to scale to a million doll income what you really want is a business that that is low cost easy to start and that has income

elasticity which means that you're not trading your time for money and your income has no cap which is exactly why I believe these next three businesses I'm about to share are by far the best to start in 2025 if you want to build a million dooll business as a complete beginner okay so the first one is becoming a content creator in fact this was the business that completely changed my life in 2020 I went from working jobs I ated to building 100K a year business in just 12 months by simply teaching people about how I

was making money online at the time this is because thanks to social media it's never been easier to start a million dooll business working just a few hours per week I mean even just 10 years ago if you told people you wanted to make money from social media they would have called you crazy but now according to a study from link tree there are over 500 million people making money from their passions on the internet which is absolutely crazy but here's the truth since 2023 I've noticed that the competition is rapidly increasing for example when

I first started posting content about Finance on Tik Tok I was really the only girl of my age doing this but now there are literally hundreds of women posting similar content now I don't think the opportunity is going anywhere but I do believe over the next 5 years it's not going to be as easy to make money as a content creator so if you've been thinking about creating some sort of content online to help you make more money or quit your 9 to-5 job now is the time to start but you might be wondering well

what's the best way to get started as a content creator well that leads me to the next business on this list and that's selling your own digital products this can be things like selling eBooks mini courses or even building out your own paid Community now the reason this business model is so great is that once you've built an audience you don't need to pay for advertising which is an absolute GameChanger because only a few years ago if you want to launch a business you need to have thousands of dollars to invest in ads but now

thanks to the platforms Tik Tok YouTube Instagram you can reach millions of people for free so here's how I would get started with this business if I was a complete beginner and wanted to start making money as fast as possible I would pick a niche that solved a problem this is because it's easier to sell products to people that have burning problem they need to be solved examples of problem solving niches are things like weight loss cooking investing mental health or woodworking these are niches where people have a burning problem and are willing to buy

your products to solve them next pick one platform and build an audience I would focus all my energy on learning how to post viral content for one platform then once I had built a decent following I would then look at other platforms then the last step is to Simply create a product that solves a burning problem for your audience this could be an ebook a course or a paid community and to prove that this is possible let me tell you about Chad so I found Chad's Channel a few weeks ago and in one of his

videos he shared that he made over $20,000 in his second month on YouTube with only 7,000 subscribers he simply decided to make videos about how to make money he went all in on posting on YouTube and then created did a digital product that solved his audience's problems now 10 months later his channel has made over 500,000 which is crazy but you might be thinking well that's great but 7,000 followers in 2 months is quite a lot I don't know if I could do that well that's why I've saved the best business for last it's a

special type of affiliate marketing I've recently discovered that doesn't require any money to get started you don't need any previous experience and you're not going to need a large social media following to start making money now to be fully transparent I am a little bit biased because I do sell a course on affiliate marketing this is actually one of my digital products that I sell but the truth is it's because I genuinely believe that it's the fastest and easiest way you can make money online as a complete beginner and this is because you don't need

any previous experience I've had many students of mine get started with no experience and start making money within just a few weeks it's an elastic income business model too which means that you can scale this business pretty much as high as you want for example I'm currently making 50k a month with my affiliate marketing business and I only spend about 2 to 3 hours per day on it and finally you don't need a large following to get started because like I've said I've recently discovered a special kind of affiliate marketing business that doesn't require you

to have a large audience to start making money I call it faceless affiliate marketing and it's helping my students like Jay make1 K in his first 3 months and Caleb who made 18K in just 1 month so here's a run through of how my affiliate marketing strategy works first you pick an Niche you're passion about then you create a personal brand or an online brand then you find highp paying affiliate links that pay over $50 per person you refer next you create a high converting websites and come up with a brand name Logo and custom

theme then you'll create content for all social media platforms such as Tik Tok Instagram Pinterest and YouTube this content does not have to show your face and with the help of AI it has never been easier to create great content in minutes you must also create a blog which will be essential if you want to effectively promote your affiliate links you'll also start and grow an email newsletter and to really take things to the next level you can run paid ads once you're profitable and to automate and scale the business past 10K per month you

want to hire great Freelancers and take advantage of different AI tools now I don't have time in this video to go too deep into the exact steps but if you're interested in learning more I do actually have a course on exactly how you can make over $10,000 per month with this business model I'll leave the course Linked In the description for you but if you want to learn more before you join my course no worries I also have an affiliate marketing training that you can watch right now and I'll link it in the description as

well this will show you exactly how you can get started and it will also be the first link in the description so I'll see you there
