15 Businesses You Only Need A Laptop To Start

 

A few weeks ago, someone made a statement that completely blew my mind. They told me that all the success I have had and most everything I have created have all been done through the use of a computer or laptop.

 

 

I laughed and began reflecting back to the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey. My friend was absolutely correct. After probably going through billions of pixels and clicks, I have been able to build over 90% of what I have today just using my laptop.

 

 

The amazing thing is that I have come across numerous other people who are ‘click entrepreneurs’. They have started and successfully ran their businesses using just their laptops.

 

 

In this article, I share 15 businesses you only need a laptop to start:

Just like mobile development, you can create your own web development firm very easily. You can create web applications and sites for other businesses or choose to put your own ideas into action.

You can charge a very high premium in graphic design if you’re very skilled at it. UI and logo designs are a constant requirement of most businesses. If you have the creative talent necessary, you can be a freelancer working from anywhere.

With so many self-publishing platforms available in the internet, you can write a book of your own. Find a topic or space that you are an expert in and share your wisdom through text.

There are hundreds of millions of websites that exist on the internet. Each of these websites have content and information that they convey to visitors. You can utilize this to your advantage by strategically writing content in specific niches.

Believe it or not, people make a living just off of affiliate marketing. I have numerous friends who have made millions of dollars by simply promoting other people’s products and collecting a generous commission in exchange for their services.

With the recent growth of social media in the last few years, many jobs in this space have opened up. Lots of businesses and companies outsource their social media management to other freelancers. You can make a good amount of money managing social media accounts for others.

I personally have looked for qualified individuals to manage and invest my money. If you understand investments very well, you can create your own wealth management firm.
