A good businessman can and should make the most out of everything. He sees an opportunity and makes sure that he can make profit out of it. With the holidays fast approaching, here are some small businesses I think a lot of people can easily venture into for extra income this holiday season.
Food business if there is one thing that a holiday will never miss that will be food. A holiday is not a holiday without some delicious meals. If you are quite handy in the kitchen, you can find a recipe and elevate it to sell. In my country, you do not need to have a physical store to start selling. We sell to our neighbors, friends and families and they will eventually spread the word and more customers will buy. In this holiday season, desserts are also in demand and there are a few easy recipes online you can follow. Remember that innovation is key so always improve what you see.
I think this is applicable not only for the holidays so it's really a good venture to start with. Although it could be very difficult to sell in the beginning as competitions are very tough as well. Nevertheless, if you really cook that good then obviously costumers are going to come back, regardless of the occasions. At least offer something unique, that is very different from those who also sells.
In the pandemic, this food business was a boom, at least in my country and up to this day. There's going to be struggles as I have said, but if you put your self into it, then successful might come your way.
