Yes, new businesses are popping up online every day. But that doesn’t mean everything’s been done, or that the market is saturated. In fact, there are lots of creative ways to get started with a business that may be easier than you think.
Don’t let a lack of ideas stop you from starting a business. Here are eight creative ideas for businesses we'd start today (if we weren’t currently running ConvertKit).
- Sign-making
- Sustainable and fashionable clothing
- A tiny house hotel
- Electronic music production for YouTube/podcasting/etc.
- An X-Carv CNC community
- Detailed online fly-fishing guide for Central Oregon
- Redo Living For Monday
- Teaching design
Take notes, jot down ideas, or just let the creative juices start flowing. Let’s get creative with how and what we can start creating today.
Main takeaways
- Using the skills or resources you already have access to is a great place to start when starting a new business.
- Timing is key. A great strategy is to look at movements that are starting today and figure out how to get ahead of the competition.
- A business that allows you to document the process is awesome for customer engagement. If you do it well, it’s a great marketing tool that allows for lead generation.
- Start small or get very specific and build a community around it. More business will always follow and new ideas will come from that niche.
- Revisit topics or ideas that you had (or even tried) years ago, but could do now with much more experience and expertise.

Thought of the day
“Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside youAre not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you.
If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.”
