I am glad to welcome you, dear readers. If not all of you, then many have heard about the benefits of creating own business on the Internet: every now and then one comes across admiring reviews from former clerks, small traders, and the unemployed about their dizzying success after creating this or that business online. Should we believe them? Is it worth repeating their actions?

The majority of our fellow citizens, who honestly built their business offline, are depressed and disappointed by the exorbitant amount of money that they had to invest, and the lion's share of which (let's be honest) went to bribes to officials. And the extortions do not stop, so businessmen go to the Internet - such disgrace has not yet been observed here.

But they are seasoned. What should a newbie do, who still doesn’t really know what kind of business he is, but is ready to give his all, work hard and build it. According to my observations, the most big problem, a question that is difficult to answer for most beginners is: Internet business from scratch - where to start?

And they are all looking for it on forums and in tempting advertising that promises to bring the newly created business to high level income within a month. This doesn't happen, don't believe it. If you intend to get an honest and objective answer to a question that concerns you, turn to more experienced comrades who, at the cost of their own ups and downs and many mistakes, have built their own, now thriving, Internet business. Now almost each of us, online business owners, maintains our own blog, where in great detail, using our own example, we teach beginners to move forward confidently and consistently.

Another nuance: many are attracted by the fact that you can start a business on the Internet from scratch without investment. They do not quite correctly understand the essence of the phrase: in any case, there will be investments, either a hundred dollars to create an online store (this is not much) or their own labor to fill the resource and promote it - it will not work out for nothing. And sitting idly by will not work either.

1. Online business for beginners – what is it?

Let's start with the fact that making money on clicks, viewing ads and videos is not a type of business, but a quick side hustle. I would also say – very boring and poorly paid. Therefore, if you came to the Internet to build a real highly profitable business, do not even look towards such offers, you will only waste time.

Online business for beginners doesn’t even involve rewriting, although many have risen to the occasion by writing articles. In principle, you can try it, if this is your thing, then in some time you will make some money to pay for the creation and promotion of your own resource.

You need to start only with the type of activity that you are fluent in, and in a short time you will be able to gain a rating and increase your earnings several times over. But I still advise, or, if you have the appropriate skills, to start creating and promoting custom websites - these are the most popular services now, and they will remain so for a long time - as long as the Internet exists.

1.1. First example

Let's say you are an excellent programmer and at the same time fluent in the html language. In this case, you don’t need to worry about how to build an online business from scratch. – in a few minutes, create a one-page page with a list of your services, reviews and price list, promote it on social networks or set up a direct message - and get customers with crisp banknotes.

However, this will not mean that you have created a business, because business is not work, even working “for yourself” is not a business. But, since in this article we are looking at the possibilities from scratch. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the fact that one of the stages of building a business on the Internet will be: working for yourself. After all, having gained experience, you will know how all this should be arranged and then you will be able to hire several assistants and train them. And now, when you no longer work alone, when you give instructions and monitor the progress of their implementation, your activity can be called a business.

1.2. Second example

Now, as for websites: they can be created by anyone and for any purpose. There are many types and subtypes of sites. But in this example, I want to talk about the most, in my opinion, suitable for the article “business from scratch”. So, this type of site is called: “Content”.

Roughly speaking, it works like this (if from scratch):

1. We create a website, choose a topic, fill it with articles. In six months or a year, such a site will begin to bring in 15-25 thousand rubles per month (almost like renting out a one-room apartment);
2. We, as future businessmen, do not spend this money, but invest it in the development of the project. Namely: we hire a copywriter who will write articles for you, and an assistant who will select pictures and publish them. In this way, we completely or partially relieve ourselves of responsibilities, and our site continues to develop itself;
3. When your income increases, and this is inevitable, you can create several more similar ones;

And let it be - it's actually not as simple as it seems. But believe me, I proved it personal experience that by creating a website from scratch, you can earn an income of more than 100,000 rubles per month.

And before moving on to the next section, I want to note one more thing: the inner attitude is important. If you don’t know how to create a business on the Internet from scratch, still behave like a businessman, and not like an employee who is constantly afraid of some kind of click or kick. Believe me, my experience: both sometimes turn out to be the best motivation for active action.

2. How to create an online business from scratch - basic rules

If you have zero money and zero ideas, don’t be upset. Even in this sad situation, you have a chance to create your own business on the Internet. Considering the fact that a successful idea can “take off” at any moment or it can be found from competitors and slightly modified and improved, and money can either be borrowed, or earned extra, or completely done without it - then you, dear future colleague, have excellent prospects.

Now I will teach you what rules must be followed so that they (prospects) do not fall apart:

1. Find “your” niche - a field of activity in which you have experience or at least knowledge, and which interests you;
2. If there is no money at all (that is, absolutely), and you need to purchase links and publish articles, too, you will have to write on your own for some time and manually place links on third-party sites by agreement. Don’t get too bogged down in this – three months, six months maximum. Remember that you came here to manage the created project, and not to become a black man of the pen (keyboard);
3. Create a promising business, not a website that will last 1-2 years. Work for your financial future;
4. Place maximum emphasis on passive income: You work only for a certain period - until the site becomes popular and visited, then it itself works for you.
5. Monitor the quality, presentation format and relevance of the written articles. Don't be afraid to edit them later for a long time after publication, information tends to lose relevance and therefore requires updating, full or partial. The more useful and interesting information Your resource will be brought to the Internet, the higher the monetary return will be. (By the way, search engines will only be happy with the update);
6. Find yourself motivation and a role model. In order for an Internet project to start very quickly and successfully, huge financial investments are required - about 3-5 thousand dollars. But we are talking about how to start a business on the Internet from scratch and without money, so this option is clearly not suitable. It will take at least a year to promote a young resource. You need to not only mentally prepare yourself for the fact that during this time you should not expect income from the site, but also that you should in no way be discouraged, disappointed, or tired of waiting. Motivate yourself with something - future income, for example. Find a success story or several stories of webmasters and be guided by them.

3. Business on the Internet - I see the goal, I don’t see the obstacles

I argued and continue to argue that 90% of success in any business - big business online or offline, finding a job, finding an idea - depends on psychological mood, inner confidence and the ability to set goals correctly.

I divide people who do not have a specific goal into two categories:

1. Confused people are those who temporarily do not know what to do and how to realize themselves, but are trying to find their niche and set their goal, however, they get lost and cannot decide on anything for a very long time;
2. The lost are those who are not going to look for anything, they live one day at a time. Such people wander aimlessly on the Internet, read everything, they like all the ideas, but they do not choose any for themselves. They do not fill their empty spiritual space with anything, do not strive for anything, and over time begin to degrade.

God forbid anyone ends up in the second category - it’s almost impossible to get out of such a state. But let’s not talk about sad things. I am sure that among my readers there are no lost ones. Although I will repeat once again (just in case): if a person does not have a goal in life, very soon he will begin to have problems.

And if you are now busy deciding how to organize an online business, start by setting your goals correctly.

1. Honestly admit to yourself what you want: not what is fashionable, not what everyone is doing, but what you need;
2. Be prepared to sacrifice something to achieve your goal: in the case of creating an Internet business - free time, friendly get-togethers over beer and even a few football matches(for women – coffee with girlfriends, TV series, empty conversations on the phone). All this time needs to be devoted to something else - self-education or attending webinars;
3. When building your Internet business, look at your goal with your own eyes, listen to the voice of your own intuition, and not outside advice. Even those closest to you, people who love you and wish you well, are unlikely to be well versed in the nuances of online business. For most of them, this is in the category of: “well, that’s it” and “whatever the child enjoys.” Don't let them negatively influence you, dissuade you or dissuade you.
4. Having chosen a goal, you must clearly imagine the results of achieving it. Therefore, choose only goals that are important and meaningful to you.

4. How to start an online business from scratch: studying the target audience

Another important point: when promoting a resource (business), be sure to analyze and study your target audience: her interests, her purchasing power (if you trade via the Internet), her wishes for the product or information provided. Be interested in the problems of the target audience, as well as the methods that they are used to using to solve them.

1. Why is it better for beginners to open a business FROM ZERO?

Dear readers, this section of the article is very important! I sincerely advise you to study it carefully. I guarantee you won't regret it.

Will be explained here key points on starting your own business for beginners from the point of view of the psychology of entrepreneurship.

Before you start new project, be sure to think about what determines your desire.

Understand yourself and your motivation to open a business, and my small test, compiled in the form of two blocks of different beliefs, will help you with this.

Belief block No. 1.

What thoughts SHOULD NOT open your own business with:

• How can you quickly earn a lot to pay off your debts?
• The idea I have in my head will definitely work, but I need money to make it happen;
• Am I worse than others? My neighbor is engaged in business and everything will work out for me;
• I'm tired of these idiot bosses, I'm quitting tomorrow and starting my own business!

Yes, friends, business is more psychology than technology. I'll explain why a little later.

Belief block No. 2.

On the contrary, you are READY to start a business if you think like this:

• I am very good at doing something that is in demand by the “market” and on its basis I want to open my own business;
• I realize that at the beginning, large investments in business are very risky, and I can only invest free money in the business, but I will not borrow it, since the risk of losing money without business experience is very high;
• My own business takes a lot of time, and in order to develop it I must have a cash reserve or source of income until my project generates tangible income;
• Having started my own business, I will no longer have bosses and supervisors who guided me in my work and I need to now become a sufficiently organized person to act independently and achieve success in entrepreneurship.

If you have dominant beliefs from block No. 1, do not rush to get into a fight. After all, most likely, such judgments indicate the emotionality of your decisions and underestimation of the risks that arise when starting your own business.

The beliefs prevailing in your head from block No. 2 indicate that you are fully aware of what business is and are going to take a responsible approach to its start and further development.

I already wrote above that business is mainly psychology and only then technology.

It's time to explain why this is so.

The thing is that our internal “cockroaches” and delusions prevent us from starting our project.

Here are just some of the myths that hinder the start of successful projects:

1. You can’t open a business without money and connections;
2. Taxes will eat up all profits;
3. Bandits will take my business;
4. I don't have a commercial streak.

Surely you are familiar with all these fears of beginners. In fact, if you overcome them, or rather just score and don’t think about all this nonsense, then your chances of success will increase MANY TIMES!

2. Where to start your business so as not to burn out - 10 iron rules!

I had to open a business myself more than once. I opened my first business at the age of 19, I registered myself as individual entrepreneur. If you are interested in how to register an individual entrepreneur, then I explained in detail all the intricacies of this procedure using my own example in the article “How to open an individual entrepreneur in 3 hours.”

Then I bought 2 payment terminals. You yourself have probably used the services of such terminals more than once when making payments. mobile phone. But this business cannot be called open from scratch, since at that time (2006) I invested about 250,000 rubles in it.

So, friends, maybe you know how successful examples business projects, as well as examples where entrepreneurs with their “brainchild” failed.

By the way, basically everyone hears stories of great successes, but it seems that it is not customary for us to talk about failures and is even embarrassing.

Like, I’m a fool, a loser, I’m broke, I lost money, I got into debt. So what's now? And now there is nothing left to do, all that remains is to live on and step by step get out of the current situation.

So that you don’t find yourself in the place of this poor fellow, here are the simplest rules that will help you start a business with minimal risks and great chances for the success of the enterprise.

How to start your business from scratch and not go broke - 10 iron rules:

1. Never take out loans to start a business if you do not have experience;
2. Before starting a business, take off your rose-colored glasses and ask yourself the question: “What will I lose if I fail”?;
3. Get ready for different options developments, take into account both the optimistic and pessimistic scenarios;
4. Under no circumstances should you open a business with money intended for other strategic goals in your life (children’s education, loan payments, treatment, etc.);
5. Carefully study the market and your capabilities, that is, the resources you have to start your own business;
6. Do not get involved with obscure or “super profitable” projects that require serious investments;
7. If possible, talk to experienced entrepreneurs who are successful in business and take note of their advice;
8. Start a business in a field you are familiar with;

10. Be optimistic and don't stop at the first difficulties!

3. How to start your own business from scratch - 7 simple steps using the example of a fictional aspiring entrepreneur Vasya Pupkin

For clarity, I propose to go through all 7 steps of technology for organizing your business using the example of a fictitious entrepreneur, let his name be Vasily.

This is the hero of our story, who decided to open a business from scratch.

Step 1. Determine your value

Look, friends, I think you will agree that business can be called the exchange of money for some value that you can give to your clients, that is, solve their problem for money.

Let's say you're good at driving a car, or you can make beautiful designs on a computer, or perhaps you have a talent for creating DIY crafts - in all these cases, you have value that people are willing to pay for.

Let's get straight to the point and do a practical exercise that will help you get your business off the ground:

Take a piece of paper and a pen, then write a list of 10 things that you feel are better than others.

Once you have this list ready, think about what you are good at that you really enjoy doing. Maybe you are doing this as a hobby now.

The fact is that a person cannot do something for a long time that he does not like, and business is a great creative process that requires your versatility, willpower and dedication.

For example, as a result of this exercise, you came to the conclusion that you like to teach something, explain things, communicate with people and work with information, and most importantly, that you are good at it.

Then, by combining your abilities, you can become a private tutor, consultant, or succeed in the network marketing industry.

This is a general principle.

So, once upon a time there lived Vasya...

Vasily decided to open a business and approached this task responsibly.

Vasya made a list of his favorite activities and compared it with what he does best.

Based on the results of the exercise, our hero decided that he would engage in computer design, since he had been working for several years in the company “DesignStroyProekt” LLC in Chelyabinsk, which develops interior design and then finishes the room according to the 3D project.

Vasily assessed his strength and decided that he would become a private interior designer; he already had a number of completed projects, positive customer reviews and an impressive portfolio.

Vasya loved his job and sometimes even took it home, since the company had a lot of orders.

Even then, our hero realized that, in essence, he was engaged in entrepreneurial activity, only the company buys his services at a low price, and clients pay the company much more for design development.

Here Vasily realized that if he could find clients on his own, then he would not have to go to the office at all, and his initial investment in the business would be minimal. After all, his design skills themselves are essentially a business.

This is how our newly minted entrepreneur came up with the idea to start a business.

While working in the company, Vasya even received a small percentage of completed projects, which means he could influence the level of his income.

Fortunately, he lived in a large city, where he had quite a lot of potential clients.

Step 2. Analyze the market and choose a niche for a future project

In order to understand whether your business will be successful, you need to conduct an appropriate analysis of the market in which you will sell your goods or services.

So, Vasya decided not to rush and carefully prepared for the new life stage, which was called “free floating in the world of business.”

Over the few years that our designer worked for the company, he learned that there were about 10 similar companies in the market in his city, and they all provided similar services.

He asked his friend Pasha, under the guise of a client, to go to these companies and identify their weak and strengths in order to further develop competitive advantages working for yourself.

After commercial intelligence, Pasha identified a number of strengths and weaknesses of these companies. Pasha put these sides into a table so that Vasya could conveniently compare them.

Strengths of Vasya's competing companies:

• The interior designer of these companies inspects and measures the property for free;
• all companies provide a discount on subsequent finishing of the apartment;
• 7 out of 10 companies give the client a gift certificate for a 30% discount when re-ordering a design project from them;
• Managers of 9 out of 10 companies carefully talk with the client, competently finding out his needs.

Weaknesses of Vasya’s competing companies:

• 8 out of 10 companies try to be too intrusive to sell a large number of additional products and services at the first meeting with the client. This causes his negative reaction;
• the interior designer in all 10 companies, during the first conversation with a potential client, conducts a complex dialogue professional language using a large number of special terms;
• 7 out of 10 companies charge an additional fee for making changes to a computer design project.

Taking into account all the above-described pros and cons of competitors, our hero Vasily decided to engage in interior design of houses and apartments in his city at a lower price. Similar companies on the market provide these services more expensively, since they spent a lot of money on maintaining the workplace and paying taxes for the employee.

The cost of our designer’s services was now one and a half times lower with the proper quality of execution of design projects.

This completed the second step of building his business from scratch with Vasily Pupkin.

Step 3. Decide on the positioning of your business and draw up a Unique Selling Proposition (USP)

In order for your customers to understand exactly what you offer them and what makes you unique, you will need to decide on your positioning. In other words, in what light will you present yourself to your client.

Let's return to our fictional hero Vasily, who wanted to open his own business and was at the stage of developing a proposal for the customer.

Vasya already had a good portfolio and a number of reviews from satisfied clients, but how to show all this to your potential customers?

Then Vasya said to himself: “I’m a designer!”, and decided to create his own website on the Internet.

Here he posted his portfolio, reviews, information about himself and his experience, as well as his contacts so that a potential client could conveniently contact him.

Vasily also formulated his Unique Selling Proposition (USP)*, which sounded as follows: “Creating the interior design of your dreams for a reasonable price. Creative. Bright. Practical."

So Vasya began to position himself as a professional designer who develops a product at an adequate cost good quality for people of average income level.

Step 4. Draw up an action plan (business plan)

In order to launch your business and avoid many problems, you need to be prudent and try to present your idea and action plan on paper in as much detail as possible.

You can briefly write down the main stages that you will have to go through to organize and launch your project. Draw diagrams and drawings and provide explanations for them.

Correctly, this stage of starting your business from scratch is called business planning. These are your instructions, following which your chances of success increase significantly.

In one of the previous articles I already wrote how to write a business plan, be sure to read it.

Now we return to our hero Vasily, who decided to become an entrepreneur and quit his job. Vasily had long wanted to open a business without investments, because he did not want to risk money. He understood that without proper experience, such an experiment could end badly and lead to loss of money.

As a result, Vasya decided that his actions would consist of 3 simple stages with subtasks and would look like this:

1. Create your own website with a portfolio, reviews and contacts;
2. Post your portfolio online on sites for remote workers;
3. Inform your closest circle about your new project (friends, acquaintances and relatives).

Stage 2. Receiving first orders

1. Sign contracts and receive advance payments from clients;
2. Fulfill orders;
3. Get feedback and recommendations from the customer, add work to your portfolio.

Stage 3. Quitting your job

1. Write resignation letters;
2. Work the required 2 weeks, complete work projects and transfer tasks;
3. Agree on the supply of clients to contractors for repair and finishing work.

Now he was completely ready for the first practical steps to transform yourself from an employee into an individual entrepreneur.

Step 5. Advertise your project and find your first clients

In order to find your first clients when you already have an offer for your services, you must first notify your acquaintances, friends and relatives. Tell them that from now on you are engaged in such and such activities, and also try to conclude the first contracts with them.

If your services are not relevant to them at the moment, ask them for contacts of people to whom they could recommend you.

It's no secret that in order to reach a large audience and automatic self-presentation, you will simply need to create a website for yourself.

To do this, you can use the services of website creation companies or, if you have the necessary knowledge, create a website yourself. By the way, about how my friend Vitaly and I earned about 1,000,000 rubles by creating websites, read our article about making money by creating custom websites.

Meanwhile, the hero of our business story, Vasily, did not sit idle and developed a personal website for himself, created groups in in social networks, notified those around him about the services he provided and sent out commercial offers to his potential clients.

Properly composed Commercial offer- the key to success in your business. Read all the features and nuances of the technology in my article on how to make a commercial proposal.

The first orders have arrived...

Step 6. Launch a business, earn your first money and build a brand

Having completed all the previous steps, you are gradually getting closer to interesting stage- first orders, and therefore first profits.

• Isn’t this what we strived for when we became entrepreneurs!?
• “How to make money starting your business from scratch?” - Isn’t this the question we asked ourselves?

If you show the proper perseverance and follow my recommendations, then success will certainly await you. Just believe in yourself and don’t give up ahead of time, be prepared for difficulties, because they will come, I’m telling you that for sure.

So, our Vasily received and completed the first orders. As usual, he did this with his usual professionalism. The designer understood that simply making money was not enough, because he already knew how to do this in his office job in the company.

Possessing a strategic vision, Vasily decided that in order to develop his business and increase the cost of his services, he needed to build a name for himself, or, as they say more correctly in business circles, a reputation.

Earn yourself a name that will help you earn everything else!

Folk wisdom

To achieve this, Vasya did not just sit at home and watch TV, but methodically engaged in self-education, visiting thematic exhibitions and seminars, went to creative gatherings of designers and entrepreneurs, where he could find potential clients and meet new partners.

A few months later, Vasya gained a reputation as an experienced and punctual professional in the field of interior design. The average cost of his order grew, and clients came to him based on the recommendations of their friends, to whom Vasya provided high-quality design services.

Step 7. Analyze the results and expand the project

When your business began to generate significant income, regular customers, and you have begun to be recognized in the business and professional sphere, it’s time to sum up the interim results of your work and outline new horizons. Simply put, it’s time to expand your project in order to increase profits and your own “weight” (your name) in your chosen area of ​​business.

Vasily did the same, he analyzed his results, income, outlined possible ways business expansion.

As a result, our designer drew up a new business plan.

Now Vasily could hire assistants who performed all routine operations for him. Our entrepreneur opened his own interior design studio named after Vasily Pupkin. In it he was now the leader and art director.

Thus, having gone from a novice designer to a company employee, our now big boss Vasily proved to everyone by his example that opening a business from scratch is real and does not require cosmic sums, much less loans, which inexperienced entrepreneurs like to take out.

Dear readers, perhaps someone will say that this is a fictional story and the issues of registering a company, proper negotiations with clients, legal issues and other subtleties are not covered here.

Yes, this is true, but believe me, if you take these simple 7 steps as a basis, then starting a business will turn into an exciting journey for you that you will remember for a very long time. And as an experienced entrepreneur, you will share your practical knowledge with newcomers.

I will say that I personally managed to open a business using the described model.

I wish you good luck and I am sure that by approaching the start of your own project responsibly, after a while you will be doing what you love and getting paid for it.

Below you will find working business ideas for starting your own business from scratch, as well as real entrepreneurial stories about how my friends and I opened our own business.

If you know how to do something well, then there will probably be many people who want to learn from your experience and knowledge.

Nowadays, training via the Internet is especially in demand. This is where you can find hundreds and even thousands of people who are willing to pay you.

For example, I have a friend Alexey, he lives with me in the same city of Stavropol and teaches foreign languages. Just a few years ago, Lyosha had to visit his students at home or invite them to his home. Now the situation has changed radically, everything has become much simpler.

With the advent of the Internet, my friend began to teach people English and German languages by Skype. I myself used his services for a year. During this time, I managed to learn English from scratch to a conversational level. As you can see, it works.

You can also open your home business from scratch on training or consulting people via the Internet.

Nowadays, many lawyers, accountants and teachers make good money this way. But there is an even more advanced option for making money on your knowledge; it is to create and sell your own training courses via the Internet.

To make a profit this way you need:

• choose a topic in which you are knowledgeable;
• record a training course on it;
• start advertising this course online different ways and receive income from sales

The advantage of this type of business is that you record your training course once and sell it many times.

In general, selling information on the Internet in the form of methods and manuals is called information business. You too can open it and make it your main source of income.

Business idea No. 2. Earning money using the social network Twitter (Twitter)

Today, almost every person has their own profile on one of the social networks. But few people know that here, in addition to entertainment and communication, you can make good money.

One of these opportunities is Twitter, which is common for many - a social network for exchanging short messages of up to 140 characters.

Ordinary people spend their time and money here, while smarter people have turned this social network into their source of permanent income.

It's no secret that wherever people hang out, there is money.

After all, our Internet users are an active paying audience. So why don't you get some of their money. Moreover, this is absolutely legal and does not require outstanding knowledge.

Read our article “How to make money on the social network Twitter” and implement the methods described in it.

Business idea No. 3. We are engaged in mediation - we earn money on Avito.ru

Making money using electronic ad boards is the simplest and most accessible for most people.

You are required to have minimal computer knowledge, a few hours a day and a desire to work for yourself.

With the help of sites that specialize in posting free advertisements, you can build your own very profitable business.

This can be done in 3 steps:

1. Find something to sell
2. Post an ad on the website
3. Receive a call from a buyer and sell the product

We will use the most popular Avito board (avito.ru) as a site for posting sales advertisements.

Hundreds of thousands of advertisements are posted here every day, and the site’s active audience numbers tens of millions of users.

Can you imagine how many potential buyers there will be for your product here?!

First, you can start here by selling unwanted items you have around the house, and then post ads for goods and services that you don't even have in stock.

Don't believe that this is possible and want to know how it's done?

I myself tried to earn quick money with the help of Avito, I won’t say that I became a millionaire, but I managed to earn several thousand rubles in a week.

I wrote a separate article about this, “How to make money on Avito - 10,000 rubles in one week.”

Business idea No. 4. Growing from an employee to a business partner

If you are currently employed, you do not have to quit your job and open your own business. You can do this within the company you work for.

If your company is not too large, and you are one of the key specialists there, then under certain conditions you can get a share in the company’s business. This will allow you not just to receive a salary, but to become a full-fledged managing partner on a par with the current owner - your main manager.

This is possible if your actions can directly influence the increase in the company’s profits.

Become an indispensable specialist and it is quite possible that the owner of the company himself will invite you to become his business partner.

This method is proposed by the legendary Russian entrepreneur Vladimir Dovgan. Yes, you will have to work hard here, but you will become a co-owner of an already operating company without risks and really from scratch.

Dovgan himself gives the example of a guy who became a co-owner of a large restaurant chain in Moscow, and before that was a simple cook in one of the restaurants.

This young man I really liked what he did, he was professional in preparing food and courteous with the guests of the establishment.

The owners, seeing his passion for work, first promoted him to restaurant manager, and then offered him a share in the business for developing their network of establishments and training staff.

I don’t remember this man’s name, but now he has become a dollar millionaire, without actually opening his own business, but by starting to develop someone else’s.

This is also a good way to start your own business, especially if you have a good career in a small or medium-sized commercial company.

Business idea No. 5. Building your business on the Internet

If you have good computer skills, know how to create Internet projects, or at least understand the principles of their functioning, then you should consider the Internet as a way to start your business from scratch.

There are two main ways to start an online business:

1. Freelancing. This is a business of providing you paid services through the Internet. If you have professional skills, such as drawing beautiful designs If you write texts professionally or are proficient in programming languages, you can easily make money on the World Wide Web. More precisely, it can rather be called working for yourself. Although successful freelancers earn between $500 and $10,000 per month.

You can start earning money this way on popular exchanges for freelancers “Freelance” (fl.ru) and “Workzilla” (workzilla.ru).

2. Classic business on the Internet. Building a full-fledged online business on your own is not so easy; it is best to follow the beaten path.

To do this, just read my article on ways to make money online. There I talked about how you can make money on games, on social networks, on selling information from 50,000 rubles a month and gave examples of real people who are already doing this.

This concludes my review of business ideas. I hope that they will help you get started and start making your first money.

5. My own experience of starting a business from scratch in the service sector

As I wrote earlier, I opened my first business at the age of 19 - it was a vending business (terminals for accepting payments). Yes, for this we needed cash. Then I had several more projects. All of them had nothing to do with the Internet.

And so, about 3 years ago, my current friend and business partner Vitaly and I opened our own website creation studio without a penny of money. We ourselves learned to make Internet projects literally on the fly, but in the end, after a few months, we earned about 500,000 rubles in our website creation studio.

Naturally, I often had to work with legal entities who transferred payment for services by bank transfer. To do this, you had to either open your own company or work through someone.

We chose the second method, having agreed with our current business partner Evgeniy Korobko. Zhenya is the founder and leader of his own advertising agency. I interviewed him, you can read about him in the article about opening an advertising agency from scratch, the material was published on our website.

Our first clients were entrepreneurs we knew.

We approached our business responsibly and fulfilled orders with soul. Soon the “word of mouth” effect worked when our satisfied clients began to recommend us to their friends.

This allowed us to receive a continuous flow of customers, and sometimes we could not even cope with orders. This experience helped us to believe in ourselves, and today we have a complete picture in our heads of how to start a business from scratch and make it successful.

I would like to note that with the development information technologies in the world, your market today is the entire planet!

There are no more distances, any information is available and now starting a business is much easier than even just 10 years ago.

I hope that all the materials in this article will help you take the first step towards your dream - own business, which will eventually turn from a small home project into a huge company with a worldwide reputation.

Therefore, dear readers, I assure you that everything is in your hands, just act, because the city takes courage!

6. The real story of how my friend Misha worked as a security guard and became a businessman

Here is one of my favorite stories about a real entrepreneur who started a business from scratch. After all, I promised to give examples from life in the article.

Do you want to know how Mikhail became an entrepreneur from a laborer, opened his own company, bought a foreign car and an apartment?

A few years ago, my friend Mikhail worked everywhere he could: as a construction worker, loader, security guard.

In a word, he was not engaged in the most monetary and intellectual work. It all started when my friend was guarding a sales company building materials. One day a client came to them who wanted to buy a large batch construction insulation, but it was not in stock.

Misha knew that literally 100 meters from the company he was guarding there was another hardware store that definitely had such insulation. Having taken a contact from a potential client, he went to this store in the evening and agreed that he would bring them a large client if they would give him a percentage of the purchase made from them. The management of this store agreed and Misha worked as a freelance sales manager, earning about 30,000 rubles for just one transaction (recommendation).

And this was an amount equal to his monthly salary!

Mikhail thought it was an interesting matter, and financial results the deal gave him confidence. So he quit his job and began by agreeing with various companies that he would sell their goods. Since Misha already worked as a laborer and security guards in construction company, then I also chose construction goods for sale: windows, doors, fittings, roofing, and so on.

My friend simply walked around the construction sites of the city and offered his goods. Some people bought from him, some they didn’t. As a result, Mikhail created an assortment of the most popular products and understood how to properly negotiate with construction site foremen.

After 2 years, Mikhail opened his own company selling building materials and involved his brother in this business. Before this, his brother Kostya worked at Gorgaz and received the usual small salary. Now the guys are quite successful in sales and earn good money.

By the way, I have been to their office more than once and have known Misha for several years. He told me this story himself.

By starting a business from scratch, you avoid the risk of losing money, and this is the most important thing. Also, starting with no material resources teaches you to make better decisions to make money. After all, if you are able to make a profit without investing, then with money you can even become a successful entrepreneur.

See you in the next articles and good luck in your business!

The question of where to start your business from scratch with minimum costs and lack of experience, interests many. In fact, it is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.

However, the right start of any business is the key to its success and prosperity in the future. And the lack of start-up capital is not at all a reason to abandon the intended idea.

How to open your own business from scratch and not go broke. Golden rules

In order to minimize the risk of going broke or getting into debt when starting your own business, you must adhere to a number of simple rules:

• Before you start yours, you need to think carefully about what will be lost if you fail.
• Those who lack experience should not take out loans to start their own business.
• It is necessary to provide for all possible scenarios, from the most optimistic to the most unpleasant, and draw up a plan.
• It is not worth opening a business with money intended for other family purposes (treatment, education of children) under any circumstances.
• Before starting your own business, it is important to carefully study the market, analyze your strengths, capabilities and available resources.
• It is better not to get involved with dubious or super-profitable projects that require serious financial investments.
• It is advisable to meet experienced entrepreneurs who are successful in business, talk with them, and take note of their advice.

• Each step should be formulated clearly, and all upcoming actions should be recorded in writing.

Important:Don’t give up at the first difficulties, be optimistic. Compliance with the described provisions significantly increases the chances of success of the planned enterprise.

Any business starts with an idea

Before starting your own business, you need to carefully think through the idea, find a twist (trick) that can give a little more perspective to your business and draw up a plan. How successful the idea is will determine success and profit.

But the highlight itself will not work. It is necessary to create those values ​​that will bring additional benefits to the consumer. In this regard, the restaurant business is a real springboard for the implementation of ideas.

You can follow this pattern with a simple example. Competition in the field of finance and credit is enormous. A certain entrepreneur offered to receive loans and bank loans without leaving home.

This new move gave a significant advantage to his bank, because clients could now save their time and nerves.

Both the zest and the value must be real and feasible. Most often, a business goes bankrupt not because of competition, but because of business mistakes.

It is important to have a goal, even if you have to start a business without money. It will help you make the right decisions, outline a plan and tasks.

Important:only a specific goal and a clear plan can lead to the expected result.

A good option is to create and sell your own training course. Having recorded it once, you can sell it repeatedly, earning good money.

Organization of holidays

This method is suitable, first of all, for creative people. Starting a business without investment in this area may include working as a toastmaster at a wedding or as a clown at children's party. But you need to be prepared for the fact that you will have to do everything yourself - from self-promotion and writing scripts to accounting and tax reporting.

Rent an apartment daily

This type of business is very relevant in any large city. The essence of the idea is as follows. I need to rent an apartment from household appliances and furniture for a month, and rent it out daily. In this way, you can earn not only to pay rent for the next month, but also get a good percentage on top.

Opening the parking lot

Knowing how to open a parking lot with minimal investment can make you significantly richer. Costs, of course, cannot be avoided, but they can be minimized. A new project in this area will bring stable income. To save money, a parking lot can be arranged in an open area, but it is better to provide a canopy.

Private kindergarten

The problem of kindergartens, unfortunately, has not yet been resolved. Without knowing how to open your own business, where to start, how to succeed, you can think about organizing a private kindergarten. The main components of success are a large apartment or own house(a small one will not fit), great patience and love for children. But at the very beginning of such a project, you should not recruit many children - after all, this is a big responsibility.

Hotel business

Such a loud name of the idea actually implies where tourists or city guests can spend the night for a reasonable fee. However, in order to implement such a plan, it is necessary to own living space, otherwise it is impossible to open such a “hotel” business.

1. The advertising business is relevant in our time.
2. Business from scratch in the service sector.

The service sector is the most The best way open a business without money. It all depends solely on the skills of the entrepreneur. There are many options for what you can do: services of a photographer, designer, translator, tutoring, massages, computer setup or repair, construction, plumbing, installation work and much more.

Building bussiness

You can also start without money. In this case, you need to outline the range of your possibilities. What it will be: installing plumbing, laying floors, renovating apartments, design or something else – it’s up to you.

A construction business can be organized with dignity even in a small village. When creating your own business, you need to come up with a name for the company, obtain all the necessary permits and engage in self-promotion.

The construction business in this aspect, even if it requires start-up capital, is very small.

What kind of business is profitable to do in the village?

Not only those living in the city are concerned about the issue of earning money. This problem is also relevant for those who remain in the village.

It's no secret that in Russia, in the modern village, complete desolation reigns. However, you can open your own business here. Who knows, maybe you will become the person who will establish your own promising agricultural business.

Business in the village or in small town can be organized in the following areas:

• Plant growing is a common activity in the village. Cereals, potatoes, vegetables, flowers, peas are always in demand at markets in the city.
• Sales of dairy products. In the village, many people keep livestock - cows or goats. So why not sell the finished product obtained from these domestic animals on the market? Ready natural product they will be happy to buy in the city.
• Poultry farming is a good business option in the village. In addition to meat and eggs, which are in demand on the market, you can sell bird fluff. They stuff pillows and blankets.
• Animal husbandry is a very common occupation in the village. Raising rabbits, goats, pigs, sheep, chinchillas, and cattle, although fraught with certain difficulties, can still bring a stable income.
• In the village you can also practice beekeeping. This type of business also has its own characteristics and is not as simple as it might seem. In addition to honey, which is not cheap, you will also receive wax - valuable and useful thing. The only drawback of such a business is its seasonality.
• Crayfish farming, fish farming.

The peculiarity of any of these activities in the village is the opportunity to start your small business without investing a lot of money.

Flower business without starting capital

The flower business can be called a holiday business in another way, because the lion's share of the profit comes precisely on the red days of the calendar. This kind of thing should be done in the city.

Having mastered agrotechnical techniques, you can grow plants yourself and get a homemade “flower harvest” by a certain date.

There are several ways to sell your plants. Perhaps the flower shop will be willing to purchase your product. But for this option, you will have to look for clients in advance.

Or maybe it will be possible to organize a flower shop on wheels for independent trade in holidays.

It is better to save the profit received in order to purchase a flower kiosk or open a flower shop in the future.

To organize flower business, no major capital investment is required. However, all plants (including potted ones) have low cost, but the markup on products sometimes reaches 300%. Thus, the flower business promises huge profits during the holidays.

To organize a home flower business without money, you will need good knowledge about the product itself, careful care of them and patience. In a small town you can also do similar things.

Opening a taxi business from scratch

Despite the fact that the taxi market is almost overcrowded, amounting to the right plan actions will be possible not only to enter this sphere, but also to stay in it. The taxi business is relevant in both big and small cities.

Before starting your business, you may have to enter into an agreement with a dispatch service. The taxi dispatch service unites all taxi drivers involved in private transportation.

Taxi drivers pay the dispatch service a certain amount or percentage for each order.

Such an organization can have its own taxi fleet and then only need to hire drivers. However, more often dispatchers enter into an agreement with the driver who owns the taxi car.

The advantages of a taxi business are the opportunity to open your own business from scratch, the lack of premises required and a great prospect for growth. A significant disadvantage is big competition, so you need to think through all the ideas, draw up detailed plan actions and start implementing your plans.

Properly organized service, attention to all the little things and details when serving passengers, can make a particular taxi service popular.

Insurance business without investment

The insurance business in Russia is a serious and specific matter. However, an insurance broker is able to open his own business from scratch and start quickly making money by selling services in this area.

To do this, you need to appear at the insurance company, taking with you only your passport and pension certificate, and fill out an application for admission. An insurance company employee will hand out policies that you will have to distribute. The insurance agent must advise people in this area and, if necessary, enter into contracts with them.

Another option to open an insurance business requires the availability of initial capital. In addition, you should consider ideas and make sure they are sound; this is required by the insurance business.

It is important to ensure a good enough flow of people to make a good profit.

Furniture business

The furniture business does not require significant investments only if you make the furniture yourself. If a purchase is required finished products, then it is necessary to take into account that the payback is about 300%, unless, of course, furniture business organize correctly.

You can start furniture production in a garage, and later open a small furniture workshop, which does not require large expenses.

The furniture business is not a narrowly focused enterprise. To organize such a “home” business, you will need lumber and a set of tools.

The furniture workshop is intended for the manufacture of products according to ready-made sketches or to order.

You can expand your furniture business gradually. First, make the products yourself, then you can hire workers, and you yourself won’t notice how your furniture workshop will begin to cooperate with large retail chains and in Russia.

You can do this kind of business both in a small town and in a big one.

What you need to know about garage business

No matter how strange it may sound, you can open your own business in a garage without money. Small garage business ideas are constantly being updated. Future income depends on the originality of the idea.

Of course, it won’t be possible to open a cafeteria there; usually something is produced in the garage. You don’t have to be original and place a car repair shop in your garage. Or start manufacturing turning parts, if you have experience in this matter.

You can provide manual car wash and tuning services in the garage. Or why not offer photo printing or copier services in your garage? Many entrepreneurs set up wholesale sales bases in their garages.

When implementing small business ideas in the garage, without money, you need to think about drawing up.

The basis of a small business can be any activity, both a new project and a well-tested old one. It doesn’t matter if it’s a construction, tourism, restaurant, advertising business, or if you manage to open a car wash or a cafeteria, the main thing is that the idea has a profitable existence.

Despite the fact that a lot of time and effort will be spent on such projects, the result should be expected to be no less profitable than with options with significant initial capital.

Owning your own business from scratch, organized not only in a small town, but also in a large metropolis, has one important advantage - you will be able to avoid the risk of losing money.

How to start a business from scratch

If you have permanent job, but are thinking about changing it and going into entrepreneurship, then this article is especially for you. In it we will talk about how to start an online business from scratch without investment, or rather, we will discuss such a way of making money on the Internet as dropshipping.

Dropshipping is a modern business model that consists of e-commerce - selling goods to customers without directly physically touching them. In simple words you will be able to sell products without having them in stock and without spending money on their purchase.

This method of making money on the Internet is ideal option for beginners who do not have experience in online business and start-up capital. All you have to do is communicate with suppliers and buyers. In my opinion, it’s impossible to come up with anything simpler.

Business on the Internet from scratch without investment - work as an intermediary

The first thing you will need to start an online business is to find suppliers/partners who provide the most favorable conditions for earning money. This condition affects those people who do not care what to sell.

If you want to sell a specific product (or type), then you first need to select a list from this topic, and then choose the best conditions.

I think you have already guessed that “dropshipping” is a synonym for the word “”. The only difference between them is that when working with the first business model, you do not need start-up capital to purchase goods. All work on the sale of goods will be based on the principle of an “affiliate program”, that is, the online store “A” provides the opportunity for everyone who wants to become their sales representative(partner) and offers to distribute their products under certain conditions.

You probably immediately thought of various cosmetics companies such as Avon, etc. Yes, there is still one similarity - these are sales, your revenue from which is a certain percentage of the completed transaction. But there are also differences, the main ones being: the opportunity to earn real money (not points, points, etc.), the ability to independently choose a product that you understand.

For example, the male half can start selling fishing rods, car parts, etc. Women can, accessories and more.

Another huge plus this internet business is that you will not need to deal with the delivery of goods to customers - all the necessary operations will be performed for you by the supplier/partner. Advantages of dropshipping:

• There is no need for start-up capital;
• Ability to work with several at once;

• You can refuse to work with partners at any time;

• Unlimited earnings.

Disadvantages of dropshipping:

• Without knowledge of SEO and SMM, it is very difficult to promote your website or community on social networks;

• It takes time to find good sales platforms.

Online store as a business without investment

One of the options for working with dropshipping is to create your own online store. You can fill it with products from various affiliate programs.

The costs of creating an online store are not very large, so they can be quickly returned by making a couple of successful transactions. The most important thing is that your store has:

• Beautiful and convenient design;
• Contacts for buyers to communicate with you (ideally in the form of a chat);

• Unique product descriptions and photographs.

Other details relate to website search engine optimization (SEO), which we will talk about in the following articles.

If you don’t have a store and you don’t have the opportunity to create one (for example, due to lack of initial budget), then work with. For this purpose, forums, auctions, etc. will go into battle. That is, all those platforms where transactions for the purchase and sale of goods are also carried out.

By the way, it is also worth noting that there are a number of sites that provide users with the opportunity to create their own online store for free. Here are some best services for this purpose ru.wix.com, storeland.ru, insales.ru, setup.ru, nethouse.ru. Naturally, free version will have a number of restrictions, but you can switch to a paid version of your account at any time and get access to all the “tricks” that a full-fledged online store should have.

How much can you earn from dropshipping?

Dropshipping is not only a convenient business on the Internet without investment, but also an opportunity without special effort earn very good money.

Since on average affiliate programs pay 20% of the transaction amount, it turns out that if you sell a product worth 1000 rubles, your profit will be 200 rubles. The time required to complete such a transaction will be no more than 15 minutes.

Now let's assume that you have created an online store with children's construction sets, the average cost of goods in which is the same 1000 rubles. Having reviewed the search results (about 60 sites), I found out that the average traffic to stores of this type is 80 people per day, with a daily conversion of 10%.

Accordingly, it turns out that such a business via the Internet without investment can bring in about 1,600 rubles daily. And your monthly earnings will be 48 thousand rubles.

Naturally, the numbers I have given are approximate and may diverge from reality by 20-50% in one direction or the other. At the same time, I did not take into account that sales of the same designer can be carried out through social networks or bulletin boards. This should also add a decent amount to your daily earnings.

Other ideas for online business

If for some reason you do not want to connect your activities with e-commerce, then you can also try other options for starting your own activities on the Internet without investment. Here are some of the best:

• A base of your own groups and communities on social networks – the opportunity to earn money from advertising;
• Organization for the creation of websites and their promotion - money for services rendered;

• Content creation organization for online resources– earnings from articles;

• Tutoring, trainings, online lessons - for example, in foreign languages;

• Own information site - earnings from advertising, selling links;

• Development of computer programs or applications for gadgets.

I hope that you get the point and will always move only in the right direction. I wish you success in your endeavors to create an online business from scratch.

It is believed that in Russia there are no conditions for self-realization. But we constantly come across entrepreneurs who work and earn money. If you want to repeat your success, read how to start a business from scratch.

There are differences between entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs. Some businessmen are engaged in production, others work in trade, and still others use the Internet to earn money. You can earn money in various areas, and people who have achieved success are an example of this.

Step-by-step action plan

If you want to throw off the shackles of an employee and open a business, step-by-step instruction will help. By using useful tips implement your idea and organize your business from scratch. But you'll have to work hard.

• Start by looking for an idea . Don't start a project without an idea. On initial stage It is important to analyze the market and choose a sought-after area of ​​activity.
• Start-up capital . Having decided on an idea, take care of start-up capital, without which starting a business is problematic. It is easier to develop with the help of personal money, but it is not always available. Look for an investor. It’s better not to take out a bank loan for a start-up business. If the business turns out to be unprofitable, in addition to losses, you will receive debt, and getting out of the financial abyss is problematic.
• Abilities, skills and knowledge . You can do without them, but you will have to hire people who understand. This is fraught additional costs, so take the time to research the industry.
• Hypothesis and business plan . Before officially launching your business, be sure to work out your hypothesis. As a result, you will understand how many resources will be required to produce the product, at what price to sell it, and whether there will be demand. Create a business plan based on the numbers you receive. With a proven hypothesis at your disposal, act in accordance with your business plan. Adjust your business in a timely manner, which will reduce the likelihood of failure.
• Accounting for income and expenses . After starting a business, keep track of costs and revenue, analyze profits and losses. Keep a diary and record important data to understand whether you are doing everything right or whether it is possible to change something better.

Each of these stages is important and requires a special approach. At every stage of opening and running a business from scratch, you will be faced with paperwork and permits, and resolving related issues.

Where to start a business in a small town

I will devote the second part of the article to destroying the stereotype of people who are of the opinion that it is impossible to do business in small towns. I hope the material will help you start your own business.

Doing business in small towns has advantages and allows you to make money. Commercial activity also brings profit in the metropolis, but in this case everything happens under pressure from competitors.

1. There are many empty niches in a small town, which cannot be said about a metropolis. Beginning businessmen ignore such settlements and rely on big cities, Where more people and money. In practice, for certain reasons, it is not possible to cover everything. Even an advertising campaign does not help, and delivery of goods is accompanied by difficulties. In provincial towns this is easier.
2. In a small town, overhead and organizational costs are lower. We are talking about communications, transport, rental premises and other nuances. As a result, a novice businessman can develop, which is better than the desire to return the invested funds. Haste leads to losses and mistakes.
3. In a small city there are more chances to open a long-term business. Since there is less competition in such regions, a businessman quickly settles in the chosen area and correctly draws up the business structure. At the same time, it is not afraid of the appearance of a competitor with enviable promotion and an aggressive advertising campaign.

Working in large markets is accompanied by fierce competition and lack of time for rest and development. As for small towns, local conditions allow you to strengthen yourself, acquire buyers and find partners. It is not surprising that people working in small markets can buy a car, a house or a foreign vacation within a year.

How to avoid mistakes

When people open a business in a small town, they focus on local entrepreneurs. If someone opened a grocery store and makes money from it, they do the same. Subsequently, neither advertising nor affordable prices do not help to get clients, because clients do not trust new things and remain loyal to connections.

It is better to look for a niche that is free or has little competition. To do this, surf the Internet or read relevant literature. Thanks to an adequate assessment of the situation, find out what the residents of the town need.

If you can’t find a niche, you can take away a “piece of the pie” from existing businessmen. But only the right approach will ensure success. Carefully analyze your competitors and identify weaknesses.

Having decided on the direction of your activity, take action. Having opened an individual entrepreneur and registered an enterprise, prepare to pay taxes. Conduct an advertising campaign and purchase equipment simultaneously with the registration procedure. When the treasured paper is in hand, the business is ready for work and development.

Business ideas in a small town

I offer a list of ideas for starting a business in a small town, focusing on trade and services. I am not considering production; this process is extremely labor-intensive and can only be started from scratch by experienced market participants.

• Shop. Open outlet for the sale of products, stationery or household chemicals. In the future, study the principles of business in more detail and acquire partners, which will contribute to the expansion of activities.
• Domestic services . In provincial cities, basic work is not sufficiently developed. It is difficult for residents of the locality to find a plumber or electrician.
• Beauty industry . Even in a small town there are many hairdressers and manicurists. If you diversify classic traditions with new services, you will get a beauty salon. A unique range of services and professional craftsmen are the key to success.
• Education . IN locality Conduct all kinds of trainings or courses that do not require large expenses. There will be people who want to expand their horizons or acquire new skills.
• Organization of holidays . We are talking about conducting special events, preparing premises, transport services. With a little promotion, clients will not keep you waiting.

The list of ideas is almost endless and limited by imagination. In a small town you can open a gym, gas station, studio, private kindergarten or dance floor. Carpet cleaning or professional photography are also good options. Each option brings money.

Video tips

I shared my opinion on opening a business in a small town. Many people choose a business based on margins, costs, payback periods and other criteria. Take your interests into account first, so that commercial activity In addition to money, it also brought pleasure, which is important.

Where to start a business in rural areas

Only the lazy and pessimistic believe that the village is left to the mercy of fate. In their opinion, in rural areas It's impossible to make money. In reality, in such regions, money is underfoot. You need to learn how to find and lift.

I hope this part of the article will become an inspiration and, having decided to take the first step, you will become a rich and successful person.

The village deals not only with livestock and crop production. Logistics and service industries are relevant. It all depends on many factors, which are individual for each region. These are income and population density, climatic conditions, distance from large cities.

1. Vegetable growing . If you bought a plot, grow berries and vegetables, start farming. In first place are potatoes, strawberries and greens. Sell ​​the products yourself, transport them to nearby regions, or sell them to restaurants and stores.
2. Small cannery . By correctly planning the development of your business, achieve results. Believe me, not a single sane city dweller will ever refuse a jar of delicious tomatoes, crispy cucumbers or aromatic jam.
