Now what's a business I can start for 34k?

I have considered doing all I listed here>>49803706 but I think I will instead gamble my entire stack for a x2 on some shitcoin and then take the 68k and put myself through flight school and become a pilot. Don't really want to cater to fart/burp fetishists on onlyfans nor massage ugly people. Nor shine shoes that aren't mine. Or sell my vegetables when I can eat them myself. I tried crypto scamming but I have yet to make it big.

Anyone did this before? Seems like a solid plan

>>49804118
it's a lot of work but you can hire people to help
I think you can get insured too and you prob should just incase you break something

>>49804118
With gas prices the way they are? Right now you need something more sedentary and slightly mobile. Like a roadside stand as some people suggested ironically. Unless you have some sort of skilled work you're not going to get people to pay for the fuel overhead as Pedro will always undercut you.

>every idea itt sounds scammy and/or illegal
Bros just give me a real business idea please.

>>49803480
I'm unironically considering this. Someone posted a compilation of good items a long time ago.

>>49803998
where can i learn to be smart like u, mister?

>>49804288
Roadside stands are illegal and unlike in boomer days the cops wont just ignore it. I havent seen a roadside stand since i was a child. Its been regulated away. Lemonaid stands are illegal too

>>49802947
I flip shit on Craigslist, offerup, let go and others look for people giving away free furniture, workout equipment or anything you could easily sell for 300 or less. If you don't have space use the 3k or a large storage unit. It's even better if you start learning to repair and refurbished

>>49804352
honestly? go for flipping items on eBay. it will get you in the business and get good at dealing with stuff, then you can find your niche and move up from there. my cousin's did this on some other used selling app starting with building pcs from used parts and selling them, then he found out it was more profitable to sell cases themselves, and now he mass sells PC cases to a shop

>>49804414
I've seen them around in my area and some outskirt areas selling flags and jewelry. During festivals and gatherings they pop up a lot so there must be some loopholes.
Another business model I'm seeing is food trucks that hit up all the construction sites I'm sure they make a killing.

>>49804586
At the festivals you have to register and pay a fee but depending on the festival it can be affordable. So thats a valid idea. Im not even going to try and sell food in canada, very strict rules and only a few places in the city youre allowed to put a food truck and they cost a lot you cant just show up. Need a million dollars basically if you want to sell hotdogs, not allowed to sell anything else except at festivals for some reason where you can sell food other then hotdogs. Im not a lawyer so its all pretty intimidating

How much money does it take to own an apartment complex?

>>49804526
How is this shit even real. Why is a computer shop sourcing their cases from a random dude i dont get it. Sounds like some kinda scam like dropshipping. Everyone talking about reselling shit on ebay even my normie friends have mentioned it. Just sounds like a scam. Assembling pcs from used parts to sell is against zoning bylaws but probably can get away with it if you just list on classifieds and dont have a website or business name will probably go unnoticed so maybe thats a good idea

>>49804586
>construction sites I'm sure they make a killing.
This is a gold mine, but you need to network with the construction companies and have a hot slut driving the vans

>>49804356
can you post it again?

>>49805026
honestly your better off just running paid courses, will probably be cheaper so you don't have to deal with a physical product

>>49804885
Yeah but you're in Canada as you've stated everything is over regulated. Food is out of the question reselling is out unless you have a skill you can sell I really don't think there is much else. A lot of the low level tech work like website building is oversaturated. Electronic repair is going out the window as the firmware won't allow third party repairs. I was doing handyman work a few years back but I ended up just taking over the family business when gas prices shot up.

I have considered flipping stuff from Facebook marketpalce, creating a shopify store, etc, but I know and care so little about normie nicknacks the actual market research part would be an absolute drag

Go buy ten ender 3s or whatever flavor of cheap 3d printer you want. Get a home shipping setup. Find something to print that meshes with your life and sells. Some people look into their hobbies or at things that bother them in day to day life. Thingiverse is full of stuff to sell. There's a few people on facebook selling a couple hundred dollars worth of landfill material like Rocktopuses a month so anything works. I like fictional objective use itmes. Could pay my rent being lazy and running only two printers but it was cutting ship times close.
Three grand can become a 30k+ a year side hustle quite easily. Its a business that continuously scales with effort.

>>49804803
I can tell you’re not very smart based on the way you write and worry about “zoning bylaws”.

You should probably stick to a “trade business” like Electrical work, HVAC, plumbing, construction, etc. Hire and manage people, manage and plan equipment purchases, advertise. Make sure you get a CPA to do your books that you trust.

>>49805913
yeah right

>>49806238
Im not insulted but please explain so i can learn why worrying about zoning bylaws is stupid. Also why did you put zoning bylaws in quotation. Theyre real, ive read them.

>>49806543
Holy shit all of these ideas are utter trash. No wonder you're the poorest dumbest board on 4chan next to r9k.

i saw something thats probably dried up but gives me some ideas. they took a bunch of images and converted them to lineart or some shit, then sold it on etsy or amazon as a coloring book. pretty smart scam.

You wanna sell your entire bitcoin to start a business?

>>49806612
You are on a thread about starting a business with $2,000. That isn’t enough for a months rent for an office. Meaning you either start a business in your apartment/home or you don’t. Ignore zoning until you’re big enough to afford a dedicated manufacturing facility/office. That’s why you’re dumb for worrying about zoning.

You also need to work on your written communication skills.

>>49803706
>crypto scamming

I remember seeing a post a while ago where an anon claimed he made pretty decent money scamming jeets. He said he set up a wallet with around 2k chainlink inside of it, and would intentionally give out the private key to scammers. The catch is, he said he had a script set up that would automatically send any eth that arrives in his wallet to another one of his wallets wallet. So jeets would try to send eth to his wallet so they could get gas to steal his stinkies, but in reality they were just sending him free eth. This is such a golden idea that I didn’t really want to share it but I’m not 100% sure how to go about setting it up. Could any anons possibly tell how how to do this or give some tips? And don’t spread this around too much because if jeets start catching on then we’re out of business.

>>49806680
I cant find real business ideas for under 3k anywhere and ive looked for years and cant think of any myself. All i hear about are dumb fucking scam businesses that depend on some weird unlikely stroke of luck or blatant disregard for regulations to pull off. Or some kind of reselling scheme like anyones even going to find your shopify store or whatever (just get 100k followers on instagram to promote your sbopify where you sell clothes from goodwill) dumbfuck ideas like that. Im starting to realize there simply is no business ill ever be able to afford

>>49806612
Also, you seem like the kind of person that would be dissuaded from starting a business by something as minor as a zoning bylaw.

>>49804414
I've seen them but I always walk past them.
Why the fuck would I buy shoes from someone who has like 30 pairs of shoes? I'm not buying used, stolen shoes that don't fit that smell like the fucking street of Jew York.

I started a youtube channel. I got 350 subs in 2 months and 4k views a day. If I keep grinding I can get a good enough salary by the time the few money I have left from my crypto runs out. I live with my parents and I'm one of the ugliest healthy human beings. What I mean by that is that the only people that are uglier than me are people with deformities and various sicknesses. I just need money to sustain myself once my parents are gone. People are ruthless and have no mercy with individuals such as me and I just want to hide at home. Maybe if I find a behelit I could become the egg of the perfect world.

>>49803748
That's not bad...
>Buy mannequins
>Put them in interesting poses with wacky fashionable combos with nice photos and backgrounds.

>>49806818
Here’s a business for you. Paint peoples homes. No capital required beyond your shitbox car. Get your first job and make sure you’re paid enough upfront to buy the paint. Buy the paint at Lowe’s. Paint their house. Repeat. Advertise on Craigslist.

>>49806729
i dont know the details, but yeah that's why it's a scam. they would just abuse the system somehow.

>>49806853
You're me minus the ugly part. I really just want to be left alone and indulge in a few small comforts before dying in my sleep in a few years. Shame that niggers can get this NEET life for free with all of their gubmint benefits but a white man has to crawl on all fours like a dog and lick boots just for food stamps. Sigh.

I feel for you bro. Appearance is very important, not for "attracting a mate" or bullshit like that, but just for general opportunities in life. The better you look the more opportunities you get. Oh well. Socrates was one of the ugliest men to have ever lived and he shall be remembered for eons after our dust as long drifted in the wind. Good luck friend

>>49806799
would not they just use the gas in the wallet already?

>>49806964
He transferred the link to the wallet and then made sure there was no eth on it. I just don’t know what script he was using or how to set it up.

>>49806916
At least thats a real job. Ive never painted before maybe I can practice somewhere somehow first or itll be a disaster. Probably illegal somehow but ive got to learn to stop caring about that. Have to break the law to start a business in canada thats all. Lot of competition though, seems everyone and their dog is an illegal contractor or house painter these days

obviously services are more profitable than products (see above)... but providing services yourself is time consuming.. and probably you aren't any good at it either.. no worries! just go on sites like upwork and guru, see what the demand is, whether it's bookeeping or seo, or whatever.. doesn't matter.. respond to all those posts.. find out enough about what's required, then take those requirements over to Fiverr and get yourself a quote to get it done.. hourly work? all the better.. huge mark-ups! no one will ever know it wasn't you doing the work.. uncapped income potential! multiple lines of work! .. you're gonna do great.. and you don't even need to spend the 3 grand.. get a few email addresses for free.. make several profiles on all the sites.. and spend what you need to in order to respond to enough posts to get the business.. upwork for example, makes you pay to mass respond to the job posts.. fuck all this ebay, etsy, and craigslist bullshit! you don't need that crap! be a legitimate businessman..

>>49803998

It's tough work. First you have to apply primer, some people get pissy and want 2 coats for some reason. Then apply the first coat, then wait and do a second. It's tough man, you got to really make it consistent and look good, much harder than you may think, plus your clothes will likely get ruined.

I wouldn't recommend it personally, 3k could be invested better elsewhere

>>49802947
spend 3k advertising you give great blowjobs

indoor farm

>>49807032
Yes but that doesn’t have anything to do with how the scam works.

>anon sets up wallet with 2k worth of link on it and nothing else and purposely gives out private key
>pajeet sees 2k chainlink in wallet but can’t take it out because there is no gas
>jeet tries to send gas to wallet so he can take out link, but anons script sends it to a different wallet
>coins have been stolen my bastard

I could never afford a car ill have to take the paint on the house. Probably not feasible without a car. Cant really do pc repair for that reason either. Thought about repairing phones but everyone does it, why go to me some sketchy dude operating out of an apartment rather then the store in the mall. And if I break the phone even worse trying to fix it do i get sued or something, especially since id be repairing the phones at home which is illegal in residential zoning. I just dont wanr to end up in jail for trying to be less poor. Plenty of dudes hack videogame consoles though out of their homes without getting arrested. I dunno, i fear the nanny state regulations but also fear continued poverty. Its all so tiresome

>>49807167
this doesn't even make sense and wouldn't work unless jeets are downloading the script.

>>49807141
Lol yes i hear that a lot as well. People thinking they can grow edible mushrooms in their bedrooms and sell to farmers markets and high end restaurants. As if they would accept the insurance liability of buying random mushrooms instead of just using distributors and actual farmers. Indoor farming is another pipedream scam idea

>>49807167
i think you got bamboozled, your story doesn't make a lot of sense

>>49807279
kys, you can get general liability insurance for $20/month and yes stores will buy your product, your value proposition is in quality and niche produce that larger farms don't fuck with because it doesn't ship well and/or spoils quickly.

ngmi with your shit attitude

>>49807174
Draw porn then it's Canada approved and no zoning laws. Some people can become proficient in under a year. buy a cheap tablet and just draw t&a like this

>>49807348
I want to grow mushrooms like that on purpose though

>>49804792
You can qualify for an FHA loan with3% down. Granted you have to live there for at least 2 years. 3% of purchase price plus closing costs. Banks generally want to see prior landlording history.

>I want to grow mushrooms like that on purpose though
?

>>49807244
>create script to check wallet’s ETH balance every second
>if (balance > 0) { sendToOtherWallet(); }
pretty straightforward desu

>>49807279
>>49807174
You just have a pessimistic attitude. You should just wage slave. Clearly you’re not cut out for starting a business. If you were you would have just started one instead of coming here and whining like a little leaf bitch about your “nanny state”.

That mentality deserves minimum wage at Tim Hortons. Either stop being a little bitch or just give up and don’t come here asking for advice when you’re not gonna take it.

Sorry to give you tough love but if you don’t change your attitude you’re not going go get paid a penny more.

>>49807364
I used to draw manga as a hobby up until I was 21 and I wasn't bad but it was always on paper. Is it hard to transfer those skills to the digital sphere?

>>49807369
Sounds tough, probably a controlled nepotistic sphere. I was thinking of just taking a loan and buying some apartment complexes to rent out, too bad I'm not Jewish I guess

any advice on how to think about setting up a shopify store? i have no idea what i want to sell or how i can carve out a unique value proposition for an online store. are there any books that meditate on this a bit to help me think about it?

>>49807415
i see, i was misunderstanding.

>>49802947
print shop
you can start that for the price of a website and just outsource everything
gigantic markups

>>49807438
Comic/Manga is my dream job.
As long as you know shapes and volumes everything should transfer. The only real difference is the digital stabilizer.

>>49807523
got an example of your completed work?

>>49807517
have you done this?

>>49807489
I just want to say how funny it is to see exactly what it looks like when you’re going to make it.

>>49807174
And exactly what it looks like when you’re not going to make it.

>>49807487
A conventional loan works also,no residency rule but higher downpayment required. You could also find a motivated seller who will seller finance on contract for deed. I have a few rentals, its a solid multi faceted investement.

>>49807570
yes
you need zero printing gear
set up a website and sign up for an account at signs365
if you are better than the average half retard when it comes to setting up print files you can crush and they will ship directly to your customers using your address as the return and no paperwork inside

>>49807550
I delete/deleted everything when I decided to improve for a comic.

>>49807595
thanks, any resources you recommend to learn more about this? how much will a down payment typically cost?

>>49805568
Couldnt see that possibly go south.

>>49807611
i've been thinking about setting up a shopify store selling themed printed stuff (mycology and microscopy related, maybe some houseplants and cool landscapes too), could this be niche enough? i have some other related products i'd like to sell too (grow kits, diy synth ktis, etc). it's all i can think to do really. hoping i get more creative as i mature business-wise.


>>49807575
kek thx anon

>>49808094
i guess?
but why try to sell 500 mitochondria canvas wraps when you could just sell one aluminum sign at a 500% markup?

>>49807425
Ok ok i already admitted i need to get over it and just break the law, its the only way to get ahead, ok i get it

>>49808223
>but why try to sell 500 mitochondria canvas wraps when you could just sell one aluminum sign at a 500% markup?
why are these my only choices, are you saying i should focus on higher margin items, like... aluminum signs?

>>49808319
large signs have insane markups and are very easy to sell
just walk in to almost any church at all right now that doesn’t already have large signage and offer them a 4x4 double sided aluminum sign for $500
then farm out the design to fiverr if you can’t do it yourself

>>49808413
sorry not aluminum. pvc

>>49807611
Why would anyone pay extra for you to be in the middle instead of just going direct to the same place youre going to. This sounds like the kind of scam that only worked back before boomers learned how to use their computers.

>>49808094
Whats your marketing plan. Build it and they will come? Good luck. Probably the advertising costs to get a worthwhile number of customers blows the whole business idea.

The only way to start a business is blind unjustified optimism, confidence, and luck. Pessimism is just realism so im going to stay poor unless i stop being realistic and start chasing illegal scams and bullshit ideas like the ones itt

>>49808473
they try going to vistaprint
the places i go to are trade only but they only verify by going to your website and then calling you
signs365 and sinalite can power an entire print shop and all you need is the adobe suite or equivalent

>>49808413
"Hey i can order you a sign over the internet, what, you can do that on your own without me for cheaper, shit well cant blame a guy for trying im off to try the next church then"

Honestly how do you people come up with this bullshit

>>49808604
you drastically underestimate how retarded and lazy the average person is. go watch a video called "how much do americans know" street interview and then realize you're dealing with literal cattle, pigs in human skin, walking meat bags filled with shit and pus with no metaphysical introspective thought

>>49808538
>Whats your marketing plan.
I've built a social media following from taking initiative and actually attempting stuff, not being a defeatist little bitch. And yes, paying for ads at some point most likely.

I was like you before I just decided to send it. I've been amazed with how easy it is to be successful when you're working for yourself. The money is out there, you've just got to get it. Stop being a faggot and try for once.

>>49808604
because nobody sees it that way
“hey i can buy a pencil from you or i can just go chop down some trees, mine some graphite and aluminum, harvest rubber, and then combine it all to make my own? i’ll KEEP my dime thank you very much!”
that’s how they see it and most people are so illiterate when it comes to graphics and print that it may as well be that difficult which is why the only comparison they have is vistaprint
you sound like a defeatist faggot
take a nap

>>49808538
>Whats your marketing plan.
I've built a social media following from taking initiative and actually attempting stuff, not being a defeatist little bitch. And yes, paying for ads at some point most likely. The clothing would only be a small portion of the entire store.

I was like you before I just decided to full send it. I've been amazed with how easy it is to be successful when you're working for yourself. The money is out there, you've just got to get it. Stop being a faggot and try for once.

>>49808560
Ok, so I make the signs in adobe and then arrange to get them printed and delivered. That sounds like its not even a scam. Do you have to pretend youre a real print shop printing them yourself or is it just straight up not even a scam in anyway. Im just confused where the scam is since all these other ideas ive heard are just scams of some kind but your idea actuakly sounds real

>>49808716
Oh so you got lucky and the algorithms gifted you some followers on social media and you wonder why doesnt everyone just win the social media followers lottery

>>49807167
This really happened, a year ago or so. I could even find the eth address and the priv key if I dig my files

>>49808832
No, I put in work at farmers markets, handed out cards with our social media info, talked to people, spammed my local community pages and worked for every follower. Eventually this lead to being featured on bigger pages etc etc.

You are too far gone anon. NGMI.

>>49808677
I could sell pencils then. Buy a pencil at the dollar store and then stand in front of the dollar store trying to sell that pencil. Because people are so dumb they wont understand how to get their own pencils!

Thats what it sounds like when i hear people talking about selling things they buy online. Like, people know how to shop online and google things now its not the year 2000 anymore.

>>49808771
that’s because it’s not a scam lol
nobody asks about gear or anything they don’t care they only care about product
your only line is:
“i’m right here in town. i need to order the material so your lead time is X after we’ve finalized the design.“
if they ask whether it’s all in-house or not you can be 100% honest.
“i contract these out so i can get them for you at a good price and maintain high quality for everyone. you’d be looking at twice as much if you tried to order it on your own”
i haven’t even had anybody go that far but if they do, they’ll check around the usual spots or a local printer that actually has the equipment and overhead etc. and they’ll find out you’re the cheapest
if they even have a clue how the process works, they’ll have already done it and the place will be decked out

>>49808891
Bull fucking shit you did any of that. This whole thing is a larp

>>49808932
you could do that if the dollar store was invisible and the only place people knew too but pencils sold them for a quarter
you could sell them for .20 all day long

>>49804845
I will start doing the research for this.

I hope I can sell al pastor

>>49806696
I tried this. Made no money out of it.

>>49808965
Ok cool, this sounds feasible actually. And i already know adobe stuff pretty well. Thanks for something that sounds real

>>49809084
it IS real and you go to businesses like this all the time
you don’t buy anything direct from the manufacturer and you probably don’t even buy from a distributor you buy from a retail establishment
no sign shop does everything in-house. none.
the large scale printers DO NOT WANT these customers coming directly to them which is why they put barriers to entry up
they don’t want to be dealing with retarded files or design changes or selling or customer service or blah blah blah they just want to print and ship
you deal with the people and prep the files and handle the last mile delivery and keep whatever you built in for your fat ass cut for the trouble

>>49809162
Makes sense actually. First real suggestion ive ever read in my entire life that wasnt some scam or feelgood larp about shaking hands at the farmers market or something. Well done really i might even do this

>>49809316
signs365 and sinalite
there are others but those cover a ton
sinalite shipping is really expensive but the production is super cheap
signs365 is in michigan and their turnaround is quick and their shipping is ridiculously cheap

>>49808982
its completely realistic and what literally every single vendor does at the markets. I chose to farm gourmets since lts not something that scales well, so you're not competing with national producers, and i didnt have significant local competition.

>>49802947
3k can get you about 300,000 QANX tokens. That's $300,000 when QANX hits $1 a token.
I wouldn't be surprised because the layer 1 hybrid blockchain has been getting a lot of attention lately from institutions too.

>>49810289
Sounds made up but ok. Good luck with selling bedroom mushrooms to farmers markets. Hope you dont get busted because that is definitely highly illegal.

>>49810539
fuck off retard youre ruining this thread

>>49810637
Because you never did any of those things its just some fantasy scheme you optimistically cling to give you some vague sense of hope. You believe in it because someone tried to sell you a book on it by convincing you it was possible. In real life you need regulators, inspections, insurance, licensing etc you cant just shake hands at the farmers market and sell bedroom mushrooms because the vendors at the farmers market also need inspections and licensing and insurance etc. Everything happens through corporations and massive distributors now no one is even legally allowed to buy or sell mushrooms you grew in the bedroom of your residentially zoned apartment. Thats a pipedream larp
