5 Businesses You Can Start With Your R350 Unemployment Grant (THREAD)

#DJSBU Image
1) Small Scale Farming

If you have access to water & land, you can buy seeds at a cost of around R20 each at major supermarkets. One packet can have as many as over 200 seeds. If you buy cabbage seeds in 3 months 1 pack can bring you a min profit of 200 seeds X R10 each = R2000 Image
NB Remember these numbers are for theoretical purposes only, the actual numbers will be determined by your hard work, dedication, and external factors such as the weather or birds that may destroy the plants)
2) Online Blogging

If you have access to a smartphone, you can be your own boss by writing articles for companies like Opera News Hub & others. You can also create your own website and get paid per the number of page views you will get from your readers.
The main cost for this hustle will be data & R350 will be more than enough. There're cheap internet plans where you can pay R250pm for "unlimited" data (rain). For those of you who want to own their own blog websites, Web hosting can be from as little as R15pm plus a free website Image
3) Selling

You can take advantage of the summer heat by stocking 'cool' items such as ice cream, ice or yoghurt...Sell them in the streets, or even buy an ice-making machine for as little as R219 & sell your own ice or create your own yoghurt by buying a yoghurt machine for R347 ImageImage
4) Online store

You can buy a website, install an online store template for free using WordPress, negotiate with suppliers or business owners in your area to sell their products on your website. In return, you can take a certain % from every product sold in your online store. Image
5) Car Wash

A car wash is a popular business, especially in the townships. And for a starting Car wash, you don't need to spend lots of money right away. In the beginning, you can start with basic items such as a hand car vacuum cleaner (which can be bought for as little as R99) Image
You can also create your own carport for the shade, the net can be purchased for as little as R48 per 3 meters. Other stuff such as tire polish, car spray, and car washing liquid costs less than R200, so R350 is more than enough to cover initial starting costs. ImageImage
