I will explain to you through the example of a t-shirt printing business how you can also start this business. Now for this business, you basically have to follow 4 things.
Designing:- In which the first thing is designing. It means that you have to design the print you want to see on the t-shirt you want to sell. For example, you can see the website of Bewakoof.com to see how they use design and then you can also create thousands of designs for yourself with the help of Canva.
Buying an equipment:- After designing, the next step is to buy some equipment. After the design is ready, you need a printing machine that can print the design you have made. You can also buy this from Amazon which will cost around 15k to 20k and it is possible that you may get this machine cheaper offline.
Material:- Now you need material i.e. plain t-shirts which you can get on websites like Indiamart for ₹89 – ₹90. And in cities like Delhi, these plain T-shirts are available even cheaper. Design these t-shirts and prepare 2-3 samples of them and get their reviews from people.

Food Truck/Stall
In India, the two most successful businesses are clothing and food. It doesn’t matter whether you do food stall business in a small town or a big city. This business will flourish and I don’t need to tell you how popular you can become by selling vada pav or how you can become a crorepati by serving tea to Bill Gates. You have to take 4 important steps to start a food stall business.
Market:- Identify what type of area you can set up your food cart or track.
Food Stall:- Then you have to arrange for a food stall which will be set up with equipment worth Rs. 20K – 25K.
Permission:- In the third step you will have to get permission from the local bodies.
Unique Item:- This is the most important part of a food stall. Everyone is selling food these days but customers prefer to visit the place again and again where the taste is very good and if you have that better presentation and better taste then you will definitely be successful.
E-commerce Reselling Business
This business is such a business in which you neither need to buy material nor any printing machine nor any storage or warehouse. All you need is marketing. To start a reselling business, you first have to find a product. Let us understand through an example, suppose you want to sell a hairdryer whose price is ₹500. Now after selecting the product, you have to go to Shopify from where you have to create your store. Shopify is such a platform from where you can easily create your e-commerce store.
Then after creating the store, you have to list this product on your website and keep the price at ₹1000. Then you have to advertise your website, which you can do through Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube. And then when an order comes on your website, your customer will give you ₹1000, from which you will pay the supplier’s rate which is ₹500 and your supplier will directly deliver the order to your customer. And you get ₹500 direct profit. This is a reselling business.
The biggest issue in this is advertisement, so for this, you can make good ads and run paid ads through influencers. Due to this your profit margin will be less right now but it can prove to be very useful in the long term.

In this, first of all, you have to select a niche for what kind of online teaching you want to give. Like 11th-12th class subjects, Excel, Web Development, Financial Topics, Competitive/Govt. Exams preparation etc. Then you have to acquire students through video lectures, quizzes, assignments, and an easy way of understanding. You have to build an audience for which you can take the help of platforms like YouTube and Instagram.
After building the audience you have to prepare a business plan. For which you have to make a website for your business and create a personalized application which supports both Android and iOS.
In this process, you may have to spend up to 20k – 30k initially. Then you can promote your app through your video lectures. As your traffic increases, you can reach the audience of the whole of India by making changes to your application. You can build this business not only through education but also through health, yoga, fitness, and motivation knowledge.

After all, this is the biggest question, so you can promote your business through content.
You have 2 best platforms for content creation YouTube and Instagram where you can upload both long and short-form content through reels and on YouTube. For this, first select a niche. For example, if I give you examples of 3-4 successful niches, they include Tech, Finance, Jobs, and Fashion, these are some specific niches in which you can easily create content. If you don’t want to face the camera, you can also make faceless videos with the help of AI tools.
Let’s assume if you want to create content related to tech, then you have to search 20-30 top tech video ideas using Chatgpt. Then you have to prepare a script of 500-600 words on the most trending idea among them in which you have to use your brain and not just copy-paste it. After scripting, make a voiceover of it, and then again by using Adobe Podcast AI, you can find 5-6 stock images and make a short video in 20-25 minutes through Canva.
