3 Ideas For Your First Home-Based Business
Home-based businesses are definitely on the rise in Singapore and this trend shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon, especially during this ongoing Covid-19 period where many locals are attempting to use the time cooped up at home to turn their interests into potential career options.
It doesn’t matter what you’re passionate or interested about — there are unlimited possibilities when it comes to starting your very own home-based business. Since it’s nearly impossible to list out all the types of home-based businesses that you can venture into, here are 3 categories for you to consider.
Idea 1: Baking
Baked goods that are personalised, home-baked and made with quality ingredients are some of the increasingly popular demands from consumers nowadays. From birthday cakes, brownies and tarts to freshly baked bread, bagels and cupcakes, the variety of baked goods that one can bake from home are astoundingly wide.
One particular home-based baker who has been gaining popularity in the recent months would be Jessica Chow, founder of Lookie Cookie. She turned her love for chocolate into cookies that can come hand-studded with chocolate chips, topped with flaky sea salt, and even mixed with pistachio.
Idea 2: Accessories
Customisable accessories are all the rage right now. No matter your desired style of accessories, you’re bound to come across consumers with similar fashion taste as you.
Kuey Lapis, an Instagram blogshop selling mainly bold statement jewellery, garnered over 5,700 followers in merely one year since its launch. It carries many quirky hand-made accessories such as mahjong tile earrings, cereal box hair clips and chicken drumstick necklaces.
Idea 3: Hand Lettering
Brush lettering may sound ancient but among the younger generation in Singapore, the aesthetics of putting pen to paper with texts using cursive fonts are increasingly stealing the hearts of many locals.
Nicole Chew, founder of Little Inked Things, began her journey of creating her current home-based calligraphy business out of pure passion towards this form of art. Nicole’s artworks on Instagram will make your eyes stay fixated on her feed because of the old world charm that exudes from her vintage lettering.
