Anda mahu berniaga tetapi keadaan kewangan tidak mengizinkan? Ada banyak bidang perniagaan di luar sana yang tidak memerlukan sebarang modal. Gunakan kemahiran yang anda miliki untuk memulakan perniagaan dari rumah. Teruskan usaha bangunkan diri dan carilah pilihan yang sesuai untuk anda!

Ramai dalam kalangan kita yang terpaksa bekerja dari rumah ekoran COVID-19. Ada juga yang membuka perniagaan secara kecil-kecilan kerana kehilangan mata pencarian gara-gara diberhentikan kerja oleh majikan yang terkesan ataupun syarikat gulung tikar. Sehingga kini, masih ada individu yang menghadapi kesukaran untuk memulakan perniagaan sendiri kerana tidak mempunyai modal yang mencukupi. 

Jangan putus asa. Kami senaraikan beberapa bidang perniagaan yang boleh anda ceburi tanpa sebarang modal. 

1. Pempengaruh media sosial (influencer) 

Jika anda mempunyai ramai pengikut di media sosial, inilah peluang keemasan untuk anda menjana pendapatan. Anda boleh menawarkan perkhidmatan pemasaran digital kepada mana-mana perniagaan yang ingin mempromosikan jenama dan produk mereka dengan menggunakan influencer. 

Ramai pempengaruh menjadikan pekerjaan ini sebagai kerjaya sampingan. Ada juga yang menjadi pempengaruh sepenuh masa yang mampu memperoleh pendapatan lumayan dengan menawarkan perkhidmatan seperti membuat ulasan tentang produk serta mempromosikan jenama-jenama perniagaan menerusi video yang dimuat naik ke akaun media sosial. 

2. Penyedia perkhidmatan penterjemahan

Buat anda yang menguasai pelbagai bahasa, khidmat terjemahan mempunyai permintaannya yang tersendiri. Anda boleh menawarkan perkhidmatan menterjemah teks, ucapan, transkrip atau apa sahaja jenis dokumen kepada mana-mana klien yang memerlukan. 

3. Khidmat tutor 

Sekiranya anda mahir dalam mata pelajaran tertentu, khidmat tutor boleh dijadikan suatu perniagaan yang tetap dan stabil. Anda boleh mengadakan kelas atau program latihan di rumah atau secara dalam talian dengan mengenakan bayaran tertentu kepada mereka yang berminat. 

4. Ejen pemesan hantar (dropship)

Menjadi ejen dropship atau pemesan hantar untuk perniagaan sudah tidak asing lagi buat mereka yang ingin memulakan perniagaan tanpa modal. Banyak syarikat yang mencari ejen untuk membantu menjual produk mereka tanpa perlu mengeluarkan modal atau menyimpan stok. 

Tugas pemesan hantar hanyalah mempromosikan produk serta mencari pelanggan, mendapatkan tempahan dan menghantar barangan yang dijual. Dari situlah anda akan mendapat upah tertentu mengikut jenis produk. 

5. Program affiliate

Program affiliate ialah satu teknik pemasaran yang hampir sama dengan dropship. Perbezaan affiliate dengan dropship ialah anda tidak perlu mengejar angka jualan atau pelanggan. 

Sebaliknya, apa yang perlu dilakukan hanyalah mempromosikan produk dari laman web dengan meletakkan pautan affiliate di akaun media sosial anda. Andainya ada pelanggan yang menekan pautan tersebut untuk membeli produk yang dipromosikan, anda akan menerima wang upah hasil daripada pembelian tersebut. 

6. Pengurus media sosial 

Pengurus media sosial biasanya akan mengendalikan akaun media sosial milik sesebuah perniagaan. Kalau anda mempunyai kemahiran dan pengalaman dalam menguruskan platform media sosial, perkhidmatan ini sudah tentu berupaya membantu anda menjana pendapatan yang lumayan. Anda hanya memerlukan telefon pintar, komputer riba, sambungan Internet dan kreativiti yang mantap. 

7. Perancang majlis (event planner) 

Jika anda mempunyai minat dan bakat dalam menguruskan serta mengacarakan majlis, anda boleh mencari klien dengan menawarkan perkhidmatan ini. 

Ambil upah untuk merancang majlis kecil-kecilan mengikut cita rasa pelanggan seperti majlis sambutan hari jadi, majlis keraian untuk orang tersayang dan banyak lagi. 

8. Pembeli peribadi (personal shopper) 

Kalau anda suka membeli-belah, kerjaya sebagai pembeli peribadi dapat menjanjikan sumber pendapatan sampingan yang tinggi. Anda boleh menjadi personal shopper atau PS kepada individu yang tidak mahu keluar rumah dengan mengambil upah tambahan bagi setiap pembelian barangan yang dikirim. 

Sekiranya anda tidak mempunyai modal, ambil bayaran terlebih dahulu sebelum membuat pembelian untuk pelanggan. 

9. Kelas senaman 

Anda suka bersenam dan ingin mengajak lebih ramai orang untuk mengamalkan gaya hidup yang sihat? Apa kata anda anjurkan kelas senaman yang boleh dilakukan secara dalam talian atau di taman rekreasi. Selain itu, anda juga boleh menjadi jurulatih peribadi buat mereka yang berminat mendapatkan bimbingan peribadi.

Most customer journeys do not start with making a purchase. Consumers begin by gathering details on a product or service to learn about its general problems or obstacles. In addition to looking for reliable and accurate information provided by brands, people are simply searching for content to consume. 

It is no wonder that content marketing is vital to the growth of a business. Foregoing content marketing would lead to losing out on at least 30% higher growth rate and an average of 7% customer retention rate.

There is no denying that there are risks involved when investing time and effort into content marketing. A lot is at stake if your content is inconsistent as it may compromise your brand’s reputation, user loyalty and even trust in your brand. 

Getting the consistency right will reap big rewards but failure to do so may harm your brand. Check out these useful tips for consistent content creation! 

1. Set content goals  

There is no point in going through the pains of crafting content and painstakingly scheduling calendars when there are no goals to achieve. Direction is more important than speed. Many brands understand the importance of consistent and quality content but do not take the effort to understand how it could work for them. 

Content goals are ideally based on marketing goals which are also derived from company goals. One method to model after is the SMART objective which provides structure and tangible evaluation metrics for you or your team to focus your efforts and achieve success. Setting goals to ensure that the team moves in the same direction will ensure that content remains consistent throughout all seasons.  

2. Document your strategy  

Brand success depends heavily on having a documented strategy. Unbelievably, although most B2C and B2B brands claim to have a marketing process in place, most do not go as far as to document them. They simply rely on picking up current trends and crafting content based on personal preferences. 

According to State of Content Marketing 2022 Global Report, documenting content strategy was a key tactic for 78% of businesses in ensuring successful content marketing. Through the recording of formal processes, there exists greater clarity and transparency to the strengths and weaknesses of the current plan. 

Whether it is allocation of budget or identifying a tactic that works, breaking your goals into actionable steps all while recording them formally could not only improve the quality of the content but also ensure its consistency. 

3. Deep dive into a series 

Although it is good to cover trends and multiple topics, content creators may be overwhelmed by the constant stream of varied content they would have to produce to retain interest. A strategic move is to utilise a series or miniseries format. 

Rather than scraping the surface and risk over-generalising, which leads to compromising on quality, it is better to develop user interest as it provides them with consistent expectations. Not only is a series highly digestible due to its being bite-sized content fed in intervals, but it also allows for better search engine optimisation (SEO) which helps your content appear on more searches. Satiate viewer curiosity and build on existing interests to have better results in customer retention and develop audience loyalty.  

4. Repurpose content 

There are diverse ways to repurpose content. Whether it is to leverage existing information that has piqued much interest or transforming one post into content across platforms, repurposing content provides more mileage for your content, increasing its longevity and giving you information on what content works best with your users. 

For example, this article can be repurposed into a more visual-heavy social media post on Instagram and even be repurposed as a Twitter thread that provides one point per tweet. The engagement rates can then be tracked across platforms. 

Rather than alienating part of your audience by sticking to a specific format, reach a greater audience while providing the same quality throughout by repackaging your content according to the users’ content demand in each platform.  

5. Develop guidelines  

There is little to no value if your content is creative but your language is weak or wrong altogether. Moreover, having great copy but messy design might have your users second-guessing their trust in you.  

Whatever it is, there needs to be a reference point for the content team and even for contributing stakeholders outside of the content team such as senior management and guest contributors. Having protocol serves as a checklist and benchmark that will produce content that expresses your brand identity in such a way that avoids causing confusion to loyal users.  

Moving forward, ‘consistency’ is a watchword for brands and businesses alike. Although consistency takes on different forms and manners, the voice and tone of your content or messaging will be what sets you apart from competitors, contributing to the building and maintaining of your business personality and presence.
