What is 2011's Business Trend?

Philippines
February 24, 2011 1:34am CST
I've always aspired to start a business on my own but in this dynamic world, it's hard to think of a good business to start with especially when you'll begin with merely scraps and are of no professional experience at all. Can anyone share your trend oriented and goal-directed ideas regarding the best business that suits to a novice business-minded person? What is of the people's interest nowadays that they would cling and patronize a business that WE and/or the businessman can offer?

I think e-commerce is picking up quick and many people start to shop online for cheaper merchandise. Many people start to buy from ebay for instance as things could be much cheaper than local shops even after we pay for transportation fees. Just thing of something physical that can sell all over the world, and if possible something light will do :p Good luck

I have also noticed that e-commerce has continually grow as time passes by. Do you know the steps on how to apply or file for an online shop. I am also wondering if what are the possible trustworthy mode of payment when putting up a business online.

Here in the Philippines, I have noticed so many constructions of gas stations and anytime soon they will open. The price of gas has always been going up these days but the need for it does not stop. In my opinion, I think that gas can now be compared to food. The cities are growing and people need to go to places and they need gas for it. I think that a man can make fortunes out of gas. Given the right attitude and good marketing strategies, it will be a hit.

Gas has already been one of man's basic needs in this fast-growing city industries and I greatly agree with your vision regarding this matter. My problem would be to think of the possible minimum start-up capital to put-up a gas station in the city. Another thing is the process on how to start one.

I think that if you just let a gas company know of your interest about their business, they will gladly help you with it.

Food will always be in. Business associated with food will somehow be in the market since we all have to eat for us to survive. The problem with food is that you just have to innovate to attach customers. The price, the presentation of the food is something you have to consider. RTW or ready to wear clothing is also a good business. The only down fall for this type is that you have to get all the sizes available, some individuals maybe too small or too big.. same with that of the shoes. The next problem is that of fashion, it fashion trend makes it easy to sell and makes it difficult to compete at times when you just new in the business.
