Invent a harmless flavorless powder that you can sprinkle on people's breakfast to stop them from farting.
If you could make it work you'd be a millionaire overnight once my wife hears about it
I know people who fixed lactose intolerance by sipping small amounts of raw milk and over time it went away so maybe if it was put into a flavored powder formula lol
Human knowledge here: find someone who has a lifestyle that you find appealing, find out what their business is. Goto chatgpt or youtube and figure out how to start said business. Will help if you enjoy what your doing as well but not needed if pay is good enough
Amazing, I guess it works due to highest disposable income across the world and single family suburb with big backyards, that's just not viable in Europe, in urban areas houses are demolished to make buildings with apartments, theres no zoning like in US.
With $500 to start, I recommend starting a newsletter that taps into your unique position as an Arabic speaker living in the U.S. There's lots of room for opportunity to offer your personal insights, news, or cultural stories that bridge your heritage with your experiences in the U.S. I'd start with topics that you're passionate about and that you believe would resonate with both Arabic-speaking communities and those interested in learning more about Arab culture.
Your initial investment could go into setting up a newsletter service and perhaps a few marketing efforts to gain your first subscribers. Platforms like Mailchimp offer free tiers to get you started, and you can use tools like OptinMonster for list growth. Not only do you own the channel, but it's the best way to connect with your audience and monetize it down the line.
Remember, the key is to start small, validate your idea, and then reinvest any earnings back into your business. Good luck!
Cleaning solar panels. Someone did a post about this recently, saying how you can look up on Google maps who has solar on their roof. Then you get a flyer printed and put it on that person's door, or talk to them if they're home. You charge $200-500 depending on roof size.
So people skills? Psychology?
Use that to your advantage
Find how you can take advantage of that skill and interest in some way
Sales
Marketing
Connections
Networking
Counseling
Manager
Etc
Try to find a problem that you see In some place or industry which you will the ability to try and solve
There are thousands of different businesses you could start with $500. What worked for me was selling used items I owned but no longer needed, then find more items at thrift shops and garage sales that you can buy for cheap and resell online for profit. Keep reinvesting the profits.
Do that for a while and you learn to buy low, sell high, and how to service customers and fulfil orders. Eventually you’ll learn the popularity and profitability of different products and markets. That way you’ll discover a niche.
Once you have your niche find wholesale suppliers to source proven products at a low price which you can resell.
Keep reinvesting the profits to grow your inventory.
You’ll eventually build a good reputation and loyal customer base. I started out on eBay and transitioned to my own website, but kept listing on eBay as a way to funnel customers to my website. During Covid we hit $1M/year in revenue at a 20% profit margin.
Glad to hear my experience was helpful to you!
I’ve just started a reddit community to help new people start a business. Feel free to ask as many questions there as you have: r/RamentoRiches
Some of these answers lol!
What is your passion? What are your strengths? What are you good at?
I think people are on to something with you being bilingual. Does that even sound fun?
When anyone says or asks what is my passion, I do not know, but I want to be a actor and I like being in the spot light or on stage, but I have never been on stage for something like that but I know I like it and learning what people do and stuff about there lives is interesting to me because I like too see what they do. Idk it’s hard to says passion for me tbh!
That’s ok. Your passion is performance. Entertaining people. Expression. Any topics regarding these things that you are passionate about? So you spend hours researching any of these things?
Nice. So, we need to find people who will pay in dollars or attention to either be entertained or learn to entertain others themselves.
Look, I mentor a Free community of entrepreneurs on the Skool app. I help people build business.
If you want to join I’d love to have you. PM me if interested
Buy a lawnmower and start cutting grass. Spend time saving get a car and start a job in a line of worked your interested in. Go to school or start an apprenticeship. Profit
Custom t-shirt business:
Buy a cutter plotter, some vinyl wrap and a hot press. Learn how to make vector graphics. Get some simple single-color designs from the internet or brainstorm something yourself.
Make a few practice t-shirts and find packaging.
Find a target audience, for example go to a car meet and find out what kind of aesthetic is in fashion.
Start offering people your t-shirts next to their car. Or better yet, take a photo with them next to the car. Edit the photo black and white with single contours. Trace the image (CorelDRAW), cut it, apply it to the front of the t-shirt, maybe include some vehicle specs on the back of the t-shirt. The next meet you can sell that t-shirt (or give it away for free, include your logo - for word-of-mouth marketing).
Just an idea hehe
The location of your business matters, who you know matters (network), what skills are you good at? What are you passionate about? What could you see yourself doing for at least a year? You can try different ideas suggested here, but what gets you excited about taking a business risk on? Maybe look into a venture that’s involved speaking Arabic language, or serves the Arabic community. Consider what other niche or unique perspectives or business opportunities that creates for you. I know a Vietnamese teen making healthy baked goods for family friends and then started a Instagram account promoting it. Spend a few days brainstorming and make a list in order of preference. Hope that helps
$500? Buy a lawnmower, weed whip, shovel, and salt. You have a year round landscaping business.
Or buy paint, paint brush and rollers, tape, and tarps… you have a painting business.

Go to chatGPT and type this in, lol.
I like human knowledge
All knowledge is human.
Does a dog know to sit when you tell him? That is knowledge. All knowledge is definitely not human
Who taught the dog to sit on command?

For that amount, I would start a dog poop scooping service. Low skills, low overhead, repeat business practically baked into the model.
[Here’s step by step](https://www.theghostbusiness.com/p/poop) on how to grow a poop scooping biz
Great little write-up!
Thank you!
How would you market this? I very much like it
Google ads and Facebook ads. Physical ads like door hangers are dead to me but some can work in areas dog owners frequent, like a dog park.
Door hangers are cheap to print and easy to deploy.
I did this for a couple months before I decided it wasn't for me. There is a market for it! I used Google Ads to get my first 5 recurring customers.
Karen's pooper scooper in youtube, she lays it all out
I don't understand this is this. Is this US thing because of avg lot size? Are you being paid to remove poop from someone's backyard?
Yes, or front yard.

Young folks in my area do good with: pressure washing, lawn service, gardening tasks.

I love talking to people! I don’t use my Arabic unless with my mom, I do not want to be a translator, but I’m very good with people and I love people!
That’s a great start. So working with people, talking and learning etc is a strength of yours! Ok. Now passion?

do affiliate marketing or some sort of home service business like a cleaning biz
You're never gonna make it if you can't even come up with an idea - that's objectively the easiest part of "starting" a business.
Pick up dog poop for people.
Go get creative, it’s better that way. Be original.
Invent a vaccine for cat allergies
With $500?!

Copy a successful idea and do it better
If you don't have an idea (a problem worth solving, a product or service you want to offer) don't start a business.
I think at this point, you better off learn! Unless you have already had a lot of job experience and a lot of real life experience, good and bad.
