Getting Started
The best place to start is always at the beginning.
How To Find A Busiess To Start
- Start with what you love and enjoy, do various searches online to get ideas.
- Find groups, such as Facebook groups specific to entrepreneurship.
- Find information websites such as home businesses and Dorangle Marketplace.
- Think about what type of business can travel with you, and be creative, people have art studios, dog grooming and more.
- Listen in RV chat groups, like Facebook, as to what people are talking about.
How to Decide on a Business or Additional Income Stream for RV Living?
I have always felt that the place to start is with yourself, and I find this observation also recommended on many entrepreneurial websites. Write down who you are, your skills, and what you enjoy. Take that information and observe, research, and Google your likes, coming at them from different angles. Are you good with people, helpful, solitary? Obviously you like travel since you are at this website! LOL But do you also like museums, research, fitness, art, math?
I will use myself as an example.
Me. How did I come to be making content websites? In a round-about way, of course. I like movies, vintage things, garage sales, website design, research, and gardening when we are stationary, etc. I am a helpful personality, and I have some computer skills.
I began business life on the Internet selling on eBay. I started by selling movies, which I love, and I researched to discern which movies were hard to find and therefore collectible. (movies-research-collectible) As I got pretty good at movies I moved on to general collectibles, which I knew very little about, but I researched and learned. What I learned is that virtually everything is collectible, what I had to do was figure out which items would sell for enough to be worth while. Then I added to my repertoire buying and selling vintage designer purses. Again I had to research and learn to tell real from fake.
In my spare time I was teaching myself website design, along with my husband, and doing a few sites for other people. Teaching ourselves web design back then was difficult, there were no YouTube videos, or thousands of help sites, you had to glean a bit of information here, snatch a bit there, and buy some books, you remember those paper things that people used to read. LOL Again, the research aspect of my personality.
So there I was selling on eBay, gathering knowledge and designing websites.
Due to my helpful (some times too helpful) personality I felt I had to share my hard earned knowledge about how to sell on eBay, how to design websites, and how to do other things that I had learned along the way. So I began creating content websites to share information.
Content websites can be used in conjunction with affiliate marketing, where a publisher places ads on their website and receives compensation if certain events happen, such as one other their readers clicks and ad and purchase a product, or in some instances just the fact that a reader views an ad pays the publisher a fee. These fees are often very small, but pennies can add up.
So what about you? Do you like English and grammar, and solitary. Virtual Assistant, writing content for other people's blogs, proof reading other people's content, etc. Medical nurse, obviously helpful. Perhaps exercise, weight-loss in person or videos, or articles. In home (in RV) screening and monitoring. Supplements via a Direct Marketing program. Specialize with mobile equipment. Temp nursing gigs where you stay in one location for a few months and move onto a new location. See the idea, find out who you are.
The point here is that there are many seemly unrelated things about yourself that you just need to assemble into a package.
Start With YOU!
