START A JEWELRY BUSINESS IN KENYA WITH KSH.2,000 Only

*HOW TO START A JEWELRY BUSINESS IN KENYA WITH KSH.2,000*

Are you in between jobs, seeking self-employment or simply want to start a side hustle to supplement your income? 

There are numerous businesses you can start, but you may be limited by the amount of money needed for capital. Don’t be discouraged, there are some business ideas that you can start with as little as Ksh.2,000. 

One such business is selling jewelry.

Women love looking pretty and will spend cash to ensure they stay that way. You can never go wrong with selling things like earrings, rings, necklaces, body chains, hair jewelry, watches, bangles etc.

*Where to get them*

The best street to purchase jewelry in wholesale is Dubois Street which is off Accra Road. Both sides of Dubois road are lined with shops selling jewelry, makeup, inner wear and hair extensions. 

Avoid purchasing items from the stores that are near the entrance to any building, as they tend to be expensive. Choose a day when you can visit Dubois road and walk around without a hurry. For every shop that you visit, ask for prices so that you can compare them later on.

*What can you buy?*

So you have Ksh.2,000 and you are wondering what to purchase. Watches range from Ksh.150 – Ksh.300 depending on the design, so at that price you can expect between 6 to 13 watches. 

If you sell them at Ksh.250 or Ksh.500 for both, then you can expect to make a profit of either Ksh.100 or Ksh.200 per watch. 

Earrings go for Ksh.50 a pair, meaning you will get 20 pairs. Sell them at either Ksh.100 or Ksh.150 and make a profit of either Ksh.2,000 or Ksh.3,000. 

Rings go for Ksh.100 each and can be sold for Ksh.150

*Where to sell?*

So now you have your items and are wondering where to sell them. Start with colleagues and friends. Then move on to family as well. Utilize WhatsApp to share pictures of the items you have. You can also share them on your Instagram or Facebook page.

Decide on the percentage of the profits you will pay yourself, and how much you will use to inject back into the business in order to increase your stock. As your business grows, so will your profit.

*Some Inspiration For Our Youth*

Martha Kirobi Waceke, a graduate of Dedan Kimathi University, has been doing this kind of business for a couple of years. She started her Facebook Page (Adore Jewelry).

In her own words “This is like my small shop where the world comes to see and buy my jewelry, I have no regret choosing social media to market my merchandise.”

Martha started selling jewelry while still in campus and to date, she candidly adds that there is no need for one to tarmac looking for a white collar job. “There are many opportunities that lie unused out there, it is upon (the youth) to identify and make good use of them,” adds Martha.

*Finally,*

As we always tell you, there’s no marathon race that has ever been won by those who did not start the race. 

If you like the idea discussed above and you have what it takes to actualize it…then don’t wait to start…just do it.

Also, don`t forget to join our upcoming training on Greenhouse Farming. 

We have created a WhatsApp group called *GREENHOUSE FARMING TRAINING*

In this group we are going to train and teach you for 20 days how you can start, grow and profit in Greenhouse Farming Business.

Greenhouse farming has been practiced in Kenya for quite some time now but it’s not until recently that most Kenyans have started realizing the great benefits of practicing greenhouse farming which requires a small space but produces high yields.

And it’s cool too. University graduates, fresh out of campus are soiling their hands in this business and they are not afraid of bragging about it.

Why?

Because it brings in the six figures. Something that would have taken them years to accomplish if they were seated behind a desk.

So, if you are there seated at home unemployed, or just bored out of your mind with your current job and are looking for a great business opportunity then you are in luck.

HOW TO START A PROFITABLE COURIER BUSINESS IDEA IN KENYA

*HOW TO START A PROFITABLE COURIER BUSINESS IDEA IN KENYA* Delivery service is a booming business in Kenya that gained momentum from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Individuals, entities and businesses relied on delivery services to bring documents, parcels, and goods to their destinations, minimizing movements. The business is accelerated by trends in technology, youthful population and increased disposable income from a Kenyan middle class growing at an average annual rate of 5%. There is no doubt that Kenya‘s business environment has improved over the years and many investors have set up shop in all major towns across the country. This has further created fresh demand for speedy delivery of goods and packages – a need that has not been properly met by the national postal service. The few big courier companies that rule the industry on the other hand have not been able to match the efficiency that most clients are looking for. According to research, clients are looking for courie...

HOW TO RAISE MONEY FOR YOUR BUSINESS IDEA

*HOW TO RAISE MONEY FOR YOUR AGRIBUSINESS IDEA OR ANY OTHER BUSINESS IDEA* You have a great agribusiness idea but you need money to actualize it. This is usually the problem that faces many young farmers in Kenya. This is the problem that I faced when I started out.  Let’s face it, it’s never easy to raise money to start a farming business in Kenya. Farming start-ups are considered as high-risk ventures and everyone who has heard the sad stories that happen on the farm are afraid of it.  Banks are afraid of them. They can only give you money if you have already started something and a stable cash-flow can be seen trickling into your account. If they cannot see any evidence to this, they will not listen to your wonderful agribusiness idea. Farming is just any other business and should be treated as such. The only difference is that farming has more risks involved, and many beginner farmers who get into farming usually don’t get out alive (Succeed).  This is why everyone is...

BUY A COW AT KSH.18,000, SELL IT DOUBLE OR TRIPLE THE PRICE - BEEF CATTLE FATTENING BUSINESS FOR QUICK PROFITS IN KENYA

*BUY A COW AT KSH.18,000, SELL IT DOUBLE OR TRIPLE THE PRICE - BEEF CATTLE FATTENING BUSINESS FOR QUICK PROFITS* With this population, Kenya being a ‘nyama choma’ nation, every Kenyan consumes an average 15 to 16 kgs of red meat annually. Cattle farming is one of the most practiced agripreneurship, especially in the ASAL parts of the country where crop farming is undoable. Most of the cattle kept in these areas are primarily for beef. It is estimated that the ASAL areas account for about three-quarters of the estimated 14 million beef cattle reared in the county. The Boran cattle breeds are the most reared owing to their superior characteristics. They have the ability to withstand periodic shortages of water and feed, the ability to walk long distances in search of water and feed, and the ability to digest low-quality feeds. Picture this on beef farming in Kenya: A Maasai herder could have a herd of 200 animals, keep them locally for 5 to 10 years with attachment and not sell them to r...

LAND BUYING AND SELLING BUSINESS IN KENYA

*LAND BUYING AND SELLING BUSINESS* In almost every community in Kenya, owning a piece of land has been a coveted investment and with increasing population, this has become even more urgent. The desire (or is it lust) by every Kenyan to own land or a home has reached alarming proportions. Every Kenyan now wants to own a home and stop paying rent.  Starting a land buying business can be a very lucrative venture. Demand for land for farming, building a home or just for speculation is very high all over the country. You can make a kill by buying land and selling off after some time.  Land prices will always appreciate due to this unsustainable demand. *What you need* Land buying and selling business is very easy to start. You will not need any equipment. In fact you can even start without an office. What you will need is enough cash to buy the land.  Your profit margins will be much higher if you buy in big acreage and sell in smaller plots. You may choose to register a compa...

WHAT IF MY BUSINESS FAILS ?

*WHAT IF I FAIL?* Well, what if you succeed? Why have you chosen to see this half-glass of water as ‘half-empty’ instead of ‘half-full’? The fear of failure is the most crippling reason why many of us will never start a business in our lifetime. We admire successful entrepreneurs as if they knew from the beginning that they would succeed. You should know that they had the same doubts like you do. They all feared for an uncertain future, an irregular income and total failure. What if you fail? What if your business idea doesn’t sell or work? While these are very important questions, you may never know the answers unless you try. In the world of entrepreneurship, success and failure live in the same house. If you’re afraid of failure, there’s a very thin chance that you will ever taste success. How do you win a boxing match if you’re afraid of entering the ring? Business is, and has always been, about taking risks. That’s why entrepreneurs are known as ‘risk takers’. There is always an e...
