1) WhatsApp group reselling

Pick 5–6 small items (scarves, phone covers, simple jewelry). Post clear photos, mention delivery days, and take advance for special colors.

2) Home food pre-orders

Choose 1–2 items you make well (samosas, paratha rolls, brownies). Take orders two days before and cook in batches.

3) Study help for school kids

Help nearby students with English reading or science basics. Two short sessions a week keep it light for you and the kids.

4) Pricing that feels fair

Keep prices simple. Use “starter”, “regular”, and “family” packs so buyers choose fast. Offer free delivery for first-timers to build trust.

5) Delivery and trust signals

Show up on time and share proof. A quick photo of the packed order plus a short thank-you note keeps buyers calm and ready to reorder.

6) Weekly rhythm you can keep

Plan one small marketing action each day. Consistency beats one loud post. Keep stock notes in a notebook so you do not overpromise.

Set one weekly goal—new buyers, better photos, faster replies. Small, steady steps build momentum.

Keep menu and prices simple. Use one message template so replies stay quick and clear.

Collect two short reviews each week. Post them with permission—trust grows sales.

Batch deliveries and keep proof photos. Reduce errors and speed up service.

7) Simple tools that keep you organized

Pick three tools and stay with them. Avoid heavy apps. Write everything down so you do not forget orders.

8) Micro case study

A home baker posted a Friday menu in two groups. Small tasting boxes led to repeat buyers and steady weekend income.
