7 Genius Business Ideas For 2025 (Start with $0)

so in this video I'm going to share seven profitable business ideas for 2025 some of these I have operating at the moment and they're making money for myself so I wanted to share them with you in this video here today couple things right off the bat first of all we're not selling you some type of online course here this is all free information that you can take and you can use to start your own business in 2025 so let's go ahead and get started with the video okay so the first business that I would really

consider starting in 2025 is being a social media producer now there's a huge difference here between being a social media influencer and someone who is behind the scenes producing content partnering with influencers to help them get out content so I see a lot of people who want to have some involvement in social media they see people making millions of dollars as influencers but they don't want to be on screen I totally get that I used to be an influencer I had my YouTube channel I ended it at some point cuz I didn't want to be

on screen anymore I don't like the publicity right A lot of people fall that category you don't want to be on camera so here is how you do it okay you partner up with people who are attempting to be influencers or who are micro influencers and you partner with them as a share of Revenue and try to get them to get more followers and make more money so a great example of this is podcast so you can be a podcast producer find someone in your network maybe this is a friend that you went to school

with or someone that you know through work who has recently launched a podcast and maybe it's relatively small they're not doing well but you see some potential you can partner with them say that you will be their producer you will help them film the videos you will edit the videos you will get them guests on their podcast and in return you get maybe 20% or 30% of the income from what that podcast produces okay and so what you're doing you're basically the manager behind the scenes pulling the strings operating things and making money without having

to actually be on camera I think there's a lot of opportunity here and I think it's because you can do this with multiple different influencers or podcasts all at the same time so there's more leverage versus if you're just going to go out and be an influencer yourself I think this is one of the most overlooked strategies and techniques for social media in 20125 I can do a full Deep dive on this video If You' like to hear more about it and like the ideas behind this because you could either do a revenue share where

you're getting 20 30% of the revenue from that influencer for managing and operating everything getting them brand deals or you can do a flat fee which I don't know if I would recommend as much but you could do a flat fee charge them $500 a month and in return you know you're operating their p you're putting out Tik toks for them and you're doing all the editing and putting it out there for them on a flat fee basis I think the revenue share is a lot more lucrative so I can go full video on that

and give like a 30- minute breakdown on exactly how I would operate that business in the next year but I really think you can do it even if you don't know a lot of influencers out there you can cold DM you can cold email micro influencers people who you think have potential and help them to get off the ground and really take it to the next level I really think anyone could do this this year okay now let's talk about the next business idea but before we do that I want to quickly share something that's

really important for starting a business in 2025 and that is going to be forming an LLC setting up your company making it legitimate whatever type of business you decide to start you really do or you should have a formal company created for this and you can use something like Taylor Brands I'll leave a link to them down below in the description they'll help you set up your LLC make it professional you'll get a professional email you can make a website with Taylor BR you can do all these different things on this service their entire business

Google ads running Facebook ads but the truth is this is something that is a skill that not many people really know how to do and I know it sounds boring sitting around learning how to operate Google ads learning how to optimize Facebook ads and Instagram ads and Tik Tok ads and Snapchat ads but this is something that really has a lot of value in it and it's very clear to business owners if you can make them more money through your ad strategies you're going to be able to charge a lot of money okay and it

really only takes a couple of clients to be able to do this so you know getting clients can be pretty difficult but lucky for you we have ads videos ads tutorials for pretty much all the major ads platforms so we have a Facebook ads tutorial Google ads tutorial Snapchat ads tutorial I think we have a YouTube ads tutorial as well um showing you how to do this all for free we don't charge anything to show you how to do this you can learn a lot for free on the internet on how to run ads I

really just think this is a great business because there's no cost upfront to you you can learn how to do this it's a high value skill that not many people have that you can sell to businesses and help them make money whether it's an e-commerce business or a local business in your area it can be a little bit comp there are some other people who run ads out there but if you are the best at it and you obsess over it I really think you can get a lot of clients and do pretty well for

yourself with this type of business especially because there's no cost to start it okay so the third business idea here is a little bit Niche but I think it's one that has a lot of potential and I don't see people talking about it and that is grant writing so writing proposals for grants for businesses for nonprofits for people so let me explain how I would operate something like this there's a lot of grant money out there basically free money that is offered by the government or offered by other types of nonprofits or initiatives and they

will literally give grants which is like free money to people who ask for it but a lot of people don't actually ask for it so what I think would be a really interesting business idea is to approach businesses it could be even things like land owners for example there's grants out there to protect endangered species on people's land so I know there's one in Pennsylvania I don't know if it's around anymore but if you were a land owner you could write a proposal for a grant to protect a certain species of bat and basically you

would get money from this organization to then do things to your land to improve the habitat of your land to help the bat right so you could write grants for organizations for companies for nonprofits and you could either get a flat fee by writing these proposals for them or like government grants or you could try to do some type of Revenue share I'm not exactly sure how that would work if you want to do like a split like if you write a proposal for $100,000 Grant from the government and they get that Grant maybe that

business or that person pays you a certain amount on top I'm not sure if you could do that or if you would just charge a flat fee but I do think there's something there that I would really love for people to explore in 2025 because the truth is a lot of people just don't know that they're eligible to get grants from the government or from other organizations that are offering money it's kind of similar to like college scholarships a lot of kids don't realize that they can apply for all these different scholarships like there are

thousands of scholarships out there they don't apply for them if they were able to apply to all of them and pay someone to write these proposals for them they can end up getting tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars in free college scholarships from all these different things so just something some food food for thought on a potential business idea for this coming year all right the next business opportunity is going to be affiliate marketing specifically with Tik Tock shop okay so I think we all know that Tik Tok is one of the

biggest social media platforms out there and you'll see people who are already doing this quite a bit Where They are promoting products they're talking about products on Tik Tok and then you can click on it and you can buy the product right in Tik Tok shop in fact there are people who are making quite literally hundreds of thousands of dollars per month being creators and they're just posting content about different types of products that they might be using this could be something as simple as hair gel or this could be something as simple as mouth

tape that people are promoting or like creatine gummies I see people making tens of thousands of dollars as creators by just promoting products on Tik Tok shop so use creatine gummies for example you find a product on there that you really like you start to promote it you partner with that company and you start to tell people about how you use these creatin gummies and how they've helped you in your life and you can make a lot of money you get a commission every time someone clicks on the link in the Tik Tok Shop video

that you've posted and they click on it and they buy something through that link you're going to get paid you're going to get paid and you don't actually have to be the one selling the product like you're not dealing with customers you're just promoting it and getting paid by that creatine gummy company this is once again one of those types of businesses where there's no cost upfront to get started and there's a potential for large amounts of money if things go well now outside of Tik Tok shop affiliate marketing if you want to do something

a little bit more without your face on camera you can do things like affiliate marketing with websites with blogs I still have lots of blogs that make us money with affiliate marketing when people search things on Google you know for example Farmland investing I have a Blog that shows people how to invest in farmland and we get paid from a couple of different companies when we show people how to invest in Farmland so it's a basic blog and it makes us money every single month I have a full tutorial on how to do affiliate marketing

I'll leave a link to that down below in the description it's super relevant for 2025 and I highly would recommend it because there's really very little cost almost no cost to getting this business started and at least trying it out all right so the next business idea is going to sound simple but once again I really don't see people doing this this is something that I do myself it's buying land and then making passive income off of that land to a variety of different ways so for example you could buy land in an urban area

and turn it into a parking lot now you might have to get some zoning approvals some permissions from the local government but imagine you can buy a plot of land turn it into a parking lot and then just make money on it every time someone Parks their car in your paved lot how difficult is that it really is passive income sure there's a couple things you have to deal with but that is one idea that I want you to think about now going outside of that we can look at big plots of land for example

I buy timber land and what we do with this is we buy large tracks of Timberland then you can log those properties not clear cutting like the Amazon rainforest but do selective harvests and cut certain trees out to make the forest more healthy but also you make a good amount of money from selling those trees so people can build their houses they can make cardboard they can build this desk with the wood that has to come from somewhere it comes from trees and so you can buy land and make money from so many different sources

from that you can lease it to Hunters you can you know put oil wells on your property if you wanted to I don't think I would really do that but that's just one of the many examples you could put solar panels on the property there's so many things you can do if you own land you can turn that into a business I mean you could even just buy a plot of land subdivide it and then sell it in smaller chunks for a higher price per acre than what you bought it for and that itself can

make you a lot of money so I just think overall buying land is really lucrative and nobody really talks about it as a potential business idea but it's something that I do to make money and I'm going to continue to do in 2025 to make money all right so the next business idea is going to be a pretty simple one and this one is going to be more so offline so a lot of people think they need to do all these online businesses with AI but I want you to think a little bit more simple

you could start a business where you do small construction of sheds of chicken coops of dog houses of tree houses for your neighbors and people in your local community so if you're pretty good with a hammer and you know nails and screws and drills and everything and you have some carpentry skills I would recommend doing this there's two methods you can use on this you can either pre-build say like small chicken coops and then sell them online sell them on Facebook Marketplace sell them on uh Craigslist even people still use or you can do basically

a Cost Plus strategy on this where you can just contract it so if someone says you know I really want a chicken coop built you can look at it you can drop some plans you can share it with them then you can build it and then charge them a premium on top of whatever the cost of the materials were to build that structure for them now I'm not saying you should go out and build like a house from scratch if you have no experience but there are smaller things that are pretty fun to do I

played around with this a little bit when I was younger I tried to build a couple of things for some people and charge some money for it it didn't work out as well as it it could have and that's just cuz I wasn't as skilled with my woodworking as I could have been but it is still one that I think could be a nice fun weekend hobby where you can build different structures like small structures like a shed for someone's backyard and then charge them for that once again you can do pre-built you can build

it and then try to sell it or you can offer that service to your neighbors to people in your local community and then you know look at the cost materials and then charge them a little bit more than what it costs for the materials for your labor so that's just an idea there um that's a lot more simple and not like as online of a business but one that I still think could be a pretty great side project that you could do on the weekends to make some extra money all right so the last business

idea that I'm going to share with you it's not necessarily a specific idea but it's more of a concept and I really really want you to hear me on this because it's going to absolutely help you to find a business to start in 2025 and here's what I want you to get if you get anything out of this video it's right here okay what you need to do or what you could consider doing is take a concept or a business that's working in a specific market and bring it to a new market so for example

there is this company called as shock corn they sell cobs of corn at festivals local areas in Pennsylvania they make so much money they charge like $7 for a cob of corn and they sell guaranteed hundreds of thousands of cobs of corn every single year it sells super well but a lot of people don't know it outside of Pennsylvania so you take something that's working in an area and you bring it to a new market maybe say you take it to Wisconsin or you take it to somewhere in California you know the business model Works

in one place you can take it and replicate it in a different area obviously under a different name and don't like steal their IP or anything like that but this is what uh a guy that I was talking to had dinner with them a couple years ago started this company called spin they have like scooters and bikes that you can take all over around cities kind of similar to like lime or bir scooters and I asked him how he got the idea for that this is in 2017 he was the first one to bring that

to the US and he said he was visiting some friends in China and he noticed that they had those bikes that you could ride around and then just leave on the street and the scooters you could leave on the street he he saw that in China it was working in China so he said let me bring this concept to the US and he was the first one to launch it in Austin Texas I think in like 2017 and then bird and lime and these other scooter companies started after him but he basically just took a

concept brought it to the US us and it worked really well and he made a lot of money I could come up with countless different examples of how this concept would work so what I want you to do is look at what's working in your local market or maybe you're traveling abroad you see something that's selling really well bring it to the United States and see if that sells that's just a really great way to find a business idea so I hope this video was valuable to you in some way if it was don't forget
