This Just In! The Four New Business Ideas That Weren't Around in 2008

By Susan Judd

We are on the brink of a new age in our existence. This means that things that have always been trendy in relation to business are changing. If you go back in history ten years ago, a lot has changed. There are less jobs, and more people going into business for themselves. Now some would see the decreasing number of employees as something negative and discouraging. But to me, I see it as an opportunity. It is how the business world is evolving. We are being given the opportunity to become entrepreneurs. It is the future of our world.Listed below are four new business ideas that didn't exist one year ago:

1. Green Consultant - If you haven't noticed, the entire planet is very concerned with going green. If more people do not stop polluting the environment and start living healthier lifestyles, the human species is literally going to cease to exist. Really - it is, it's all over the media. The poles are shifting and global warming is getting worse. It's only a matter of time until we are done for. That is why it is important to try to persuade and train as many people as possible about how they can simply live greener, healthier lifestyles that will contribute not only to their health and their wallet, but the continuation of our time here on earth, as well as lengthening the time earth can thrive.

2. Organic Goods Sales Person - This is another of the new business ideas that has a low start up cost. Some items you could be able to sell are organic t-shirts, diapers, blankets, pillows, etc. You might also want to think about reusing a lot of the things you have to make unique arts and crafts. You could sell your goods online or at a local market, or even directly out of your home if you want. You might even want to consider traveling with your organic goods business on the road and hand out small, informational leaflets on how organic living is the best way to go.

3. Creating Solar Panels - By learning all that you can about solar energy and solar panels, you could become an expert on the subject. There are lots of people who would love to have solar panels in their homes, but are unable to pay for the costly installation and also lack the knowledge of how to make them. You had better believe that if more people knew how to do it themselves, they would jump right on it. No one wants to keep paying an expensive monthly utility bill. Chances are, the only explaination for why more people have not switched to solar panels is because they lack the money to install them, and obviously, as I said before, do not know how to do it themselves. Learn how to make them yourself, and offer them at discount prices. You might also want to offer local courses on how to make them and charge a nominal fee for your services.

4. Garden Specialist - This is one of the simplest new business ideas because all it requires is that you learn about how to garden. It is best if you learn how to garden the organically and naturally, because that is obviously what everyone is interested in. Learn about organic pesticides, pH levels, etc. Create business cards and put up a blog hosting your services. Let people know that you can make a visit to their area to talk about how to garden, as well as talk about how it can be a money saver this year. If you would like, offer to plant their garden for them. Give out your business number just in case they need to you to come out and look at something for them.

It's obvious to see that the world is going green, and the green market is where the green is! But on a more serious note, people really are a lot more interested in living healthier lifestyles than they have ever been before. We should really all work to push this envelope because not only does it involve helping to save our planet and put food on the table, the green market also offers tons of job security - so it really is very good investment with a real future.
