    The new financial year promises to be difficult for the entire economy, business in particular. It is hard to deny that in 2015 business will face a whole host of new and previously unknown challenges. Now it is difficult to predict how the situation will develop, experts and specialists talk about very bad and simply bad options. If only six months ago only independent economists and financiers spoke about the negative trend (with the exception of the head of Sberbank), today they are echoed by the state ones. But no matter how it was, life continues in any case, and current needs and desires do not disappear. From my point of view, on the contrary, it is now more than ever worth thinking about creating own business, Truth external factors significantly narrowed the direction for creating their own business.

    Why is it worth considering starting your own business in 2015?

    The answer is quite simple, there are no other options, stable, high incomes for the population have sunk into oblivion, this fact is recognized even by officials. That same fall in the dollar has just begun to spread to price tags in stores, and most importantly, this is not the limit. You can talk a lot about whether or not the dollar is needed, but imports make up a huge part of consumer goods, so inflation is inevitable. The second factor that has not yet reached the price tags is the fall in oil and gas prices. Their prices have fallen, but there is no foreign exchange earnings for the country yet, and with a fall in earnings, there may again be fluctuations in the exchange rate. Thus, the state's ability to index income to the level of real inflation (real consumer basket) is very small, as a conclusion, in order to ensure at least the same standard of living, it is necessary to look for new sources of income, which can be your own small business.

    High technologies and actual business for 2015

    If you think that I will start talking about the Internet business, then you are deeply mistaken, alas, the relevance of such a business in 2015 has sharply decreased. Runet works according to the laws of the Russian economy, and if the latter is not very good, then the Russian part of the Internet space will be tight. I strongly do not recommend starting such projects, you should pay attention to others startup ideas - mobile applications.

    Today, there are a number of designers that allow you to develop and implement a variety of mobile applications, and special knowledge from the developer is no longer needed. At one time, this is how simple "teapots" began to create sites (as your humble servant actually). Actually, all that is needed is interesting idea, and there are a lot of ways to monetize the development.

    Actual business ideas - land and money in 2015

    Next promising direction is shallow farms, or rather. Why is it beneficial?

    • - fall of the ruble. Great amount food products were imported, the Russians themselves are accustomed to eating apples, garlic from Poland, tomatoes, cucumbers from Israel, cheeses from Holland, and so on. Of course, we can recall the sanctions, but by and large they only raised prices, but did not cause a real shortage (remember the Belarusian shrimp). Another thing is the depreciation, in fact, all imported goods have become twice as expensive. Such a devaluation small business, because it is she who actualizes the implementation and launch of those very projects on small farming. The most interesting thing is that it makes almost all types of cultivation profitable, and, up to garlic with (just imagine how much a fur coat made of such fur will cost).
    • - Ukrainian question. No matter how the issues of relations with Ukraine are politicized, it has always been a great channel for the supply of agricultural products, alas, today the situation is changing. It is impossible to talk about a complete stop of such supplies, but an even deeper devaluation of the hryvnia makes Ukrainian products attractive for foreign markets(Asia, EU). Plus, let's not forget the issue of Crimea, which has de facto turned from an agricultural region into a consumer of products (which is almost 2.5 million people).

    This is not about a shortage, but about the growth of profitability, the prospects in this segment can be safely declared.

    Production for 2015

    Significant rise in price imported goods, including Chinese ones, will have a rather good effect on the prospects of small mini-shops. First of all we are talking O:

    • - casting of metal products (door handles, jewelry, locks, plaques, etc.) such directions were discussed.
    • - tailoring. Sewing workshops, workshops will get a second wind, and with them everything related to leather goods, about other accessories, has already been told.
    • - molding plastic. Given the rising cost of Chinese goods and the wide opportunities for the use of recycled materials in the production of plastic products this area looks very attractive.

    At least these directions will again come out in a big plus.

    Topical trading ideas in 2015.

    Forecasts for retail are quite pessimistic, stores will have a hard time, perhaps the only ones who can earn and develop successfully will be online stores selling Chinese goods. The main secret of success will be direct deliveries with the ability to negotiate discounts. This will require at least a trip to China and look for business partners there. It is troublesome, difficult, but the use of old proven schemes of work through their online stores ceases to be profitable, the Chinese are also learning, successfully Russifying their resources.

    Video presentations and blogs

    A separate line is worth mentioning about the video. The market is becoming more competitive for the buyer and as a result, the need for advertising, and non-standard, is growing. The latest trend is the development of viral ones, but along with the fall in revenue, advertising budgets also fall, so it is small amateur videos that become in demand. For 200-300 dollars a serious studio will not work, but for a private trader it’s quite acceptable price. Additionally, it is worth mentioning video blogs of an educational nature, with a correct approach, video content has no boundaries, and its monetization on the Internet brings a very large income.

    On this we draw a line, the article turned out to be large. In the next issues we will talk about those areas of our business where money is not worth investing yet, do not forget to subscribe. And now a little video on how you can use plastic bottles for complete illumination
