Chapters
I want to keep this podcast to the point and straight because I'm going to talk to you about the 10 best digital business ideas for 2024. Now you can go through any one of these or even pick up multiple of these ideas and take it forward. But let me explain to you the pros and cons of each as I go through these ideas. The first best business idea for 2024 is to start a freelancing business where you're taking your expertise and providing virtual services to other people. Whether it be know, designing stuff or building stuff or building applications or whatever is your expertise and knowledge that you have. If you can do remote working and provide support to the kind of target market that wants it, you can start as a freelancer. The second thing that you can do in 2024 is to create and launch courses. And there are many platforms where you can launch courses. You can even independently launch on your own by creating your own ecosystem. The third best business idea for 2024 is to launch a coaching business. Now here I'm talking about life coaching and healing where you're working one with people and you are really giving them a breakthrough as a coach. Now this digital coaching was a completely different topic shall come towards the end which is what my specialization is. Not that coaching, regular coaching. I'm not specialist in. I've done a lot of one to ones even now I do one to ones. But the whole idea is if you can provide a one to one life coaching where you're going to be charging people, you know, 20,000, 50,000 and you're independently going to be like providing solutions for people on a one to one basis. That's number three. Number four is a consulting business. Consulting is slightly different from coaching where coaching is you make into life issues. But consulting is where you are an expert, you're a business consultant, you're providing specific solutions to people and you're holding them accountable for 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months. It's a longer engagement and you can even charge premium on this consulting Number five is you can become a graphic design expert. In fact I work with a designer and I pay them quite well and they get a lot of work done by designing logos, infographics, thumbnails for YouTube, thumbnails for Instagram, reels and a whole bunch of other stuff, you know, podcast thumbnails and so on. So if you are good in graphic design, even though there are many AI tools out there in the marketplace, if you can position yourself in such a way where people can see your work and they want to work with you. And if your work is very unique compared to all the regular stuff out there, you could get a lot of work. The sixth digital business idea for 2024 is building funnels. This is like the need of the hour, like lead generation system. You, whether it be clickfunnels or swipe pages or whatever page builder that you're using, there are so many tools out there and business owners are looking for experts who can build the entire system for them. Right from the design part, the hook, the technology systems, the tracking the pixels and then of course running ads and stuff like that. So that is number six, which is only funnel building. The next idea, which is your seventh idea is to start your own YouTube video agency where you are providing editing services and right from concept, coming up with YouTube concepts, the hook, the hooks, the headlines and also getting people to record the video, send it to you, and then you edit the video in a top notch format and publish it on YouTube and rank it and get the reach and stuff like that. There are many YouTube video agencies that are doing phenomenally well and they charge anywhere between from 5000 rupees to even up to 30,000 rupees per video. And imagine if they can edit, end to end and publish videos. If they're able to do 10 videos a month for a client, they can start to make 3 lakhs, 4 lakhs per client. Now to get to that level you need to have the expertise. Number eight is an automation agency. You know there are different kinds of automation that one can do. Email automation, WhatsApp automation, you know, Google spreadsheets, automation, using tools like Zapier, Pably and many others. And though funnel building has some bit of aspects when it comes to lead generation, but how do you automate the entire thing and build out an entire automation sequence? Now if you can become an exclusive automation agency, there's going to be a lot of work that you can actually provide for others. Number nine is a lead generation agency, okay, performance marketing agency where you're running Facebook ads, YouTube ads. Now that is another business idea where if you have gained the expertise in running Facebook, YouTube, Instagram ads, you can get on clients who can pay you on a retainer basis on a monthly basis where you're only working on their performance marketing. And finally number 10, my favorite, the 10th best digital business idea for 2024 is to launch your own membership and masterminds. And that's what I do. I have a level one, level two, level three, have three memberships and have a high ticket mastermind where we have more than 100 people who are, you know, paying anywhere between 7 to 10 lakhs per year. And that is such a powerful and sustainable business model. And you know the best part is what nine business models I shared before this. I've been through all of them. I've been a freelancer, I've created courses, I've done coaching, I've done consulting, I've done my own. I've not sold graphic design but I'm a graphic designer. I've built funnels, I have edited my own YouTube videos, I've done my own automation and I do my own lead generation. Right now I don't have any agency right now running it.
