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

Why should you think about 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, even officials admit this fact. That very drop in the dollar exchange rate has only just begun to spread to price tags in stores, and the main thing is that this is not the limit. We can talk a lot about whether or not the dollar is needed, but imports make up a huge part of consumer goods, so inflation cannot be avoided. The second factor that has not yet reached the price tags is the fall in oil and gas prices. Their prices have fallen, but the country’s foreign exchange earnings are not there yet, and if earnings fall, there may be exchange rate fluctuations again. Thus, the state’s ability to index income to the level of real inflation (the 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 current business for 2015

If you think that I’m going to start talking about online business, then you are deeply mistaken; alas, the relevance of such 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 difficult. 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 required. At one time, this is how simple “dummies” began to create websites (like your humble servant). Actually, all you need is an interesting idea, and there are a lot of ways to monetize the development.

Current business ideas - land and money in 2015

Next promising direction is small farms, or rather. Why is this beneficial?

• - fall of the ruble. Great amount food products were imported; in fact, Russians were accustomed to eating apples, garlic from Poland, tomatoes, cucumbers from Israel, cheeses from Holland, and so on. Of course, we can remember the sanctions, but by and large they only raised prices, but did not cause a real shortage (remember Belarusian shrimp). Another thing is the fall in exchange rate; in fact, all imported goods have become twice as expensive. Such devaluation is beneficial small business, because it is she who updates the implementation and launch of those very small farming projects. The most interesting thing is that it makes almost all types of cultivation profitable, including garlic (just imagine how much a coat of such fur would cost).
• - Ukrainian question. No matter how politicized issues of relations with Ukraine are, it has always been a large 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 to 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 (and this is almost 2.5 million people).

We are not talking about a deficit, but about an increase in profitability, and the prospects in this segment can be safely stated.

Production for 2015

Significant increase in price imported goods, including Chinese ones, will have a fairly good effect on the prospects of small mini-workshops. First of all we're talking about O:

• - casting of metal products (door handles, jewelry, locks, plaques, etc.) such areas were discussed.
• - tailoring. Sewing workshops and workshops will get a second wind, and with them everything related to leather goods, oh, and other accessories I have already talked about.
• - plastic molding. Taking into account the rise in prices of Chinese goods and the wide possibilities for using recyclable materials in the production of plastic products this area looks very attractive.

At a minimum, these directions will again become a big plus.

Current trading ideas in 2015.

Forecasts for retail are quite pessimistic, stores will have a hard time, perhaps the only ones who can make money 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. To do this, you will need, at a minimum, to go to China and look for business partners there. It’s troublesome, difficult, but the use of old proven schemes of work through their online stores ceases to bring profit, the Chinese are also learning and are successfully Russifying their resources.

Video presentations and blogs

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

Let's draw a line here, the article turned out to be long. In the next issues we will talk about those areas of our business where you should not invest money yet, do not forget to subscribe. And now a little video on how to use plastic bottles for full illumination
