Would you believe me if I told you that you do not need many online followers to make sales? Well, this is true. The number of followers does not equate to the amount of money you can make in an online business.

1. Brainstorm some ideas. – Look at what is lacking in your environment, or something that could be improved.
2. Do a business evaluation. – whether people need your business idea, will it be solving a problem?
3. Create social media accounts and or pages. – start posting about what problems your business will solve. Also, promote your business.

This does not have to be a big business. You can start a small business with little capital. Such as starting a mitumba business or a smokie business with less than sh.10,000.

: No capital required.

Start running errands for business people. This can be delivering parcels to delivery points, or simply taking packages to customers. You can also pick up parcels for the busy business people.
