How We Grew in 2024
The year 2024 was incredibly educational and full of challenges for us at VEXiON cards. We started with a simple idea – to create a digital loyalty program that would replace traditional, outdated reward systems. During the first eight months, we learned many new skills, including software development, design, website creation on a new platform, Google and META advertising, payment processing, accounting, automation, marketing, content creation, and many others. These experiences, which we gradually acquired, enabled us to turn our idea into a fully functional software that now helps businesses improve customer loyalty and increase their revenues.
Why 2025 is Ideal for New Businesses
As we reach the end of 2024, new opportunities are opening up for young entrepreneurs. Technologies are constantly evolving, and the changing market needs create space for innovative ideas. If you're looking for inspiration on how to start a business in 2025, here are the five best ideas that we observed throughout 2024, and if we were to start a new business, it would be one of those five.
Top 5 Business Ideas for 2025
Marketing Agency Focused on Short Form Content
If you want to start a successful digital marketing agency specializing in shorts, begin by choosing your target audience, such as small businesses, influencers, or online stores that want to improve their reach on social media. Create a portfolio by making a few videos that showcase your ability to create engaging TikToks, Reels, and Shorts tailored to each platform's style. Invest in essential tools, such as video editing software, graphic applications, and analytical tools, to ensure your videos look good and are effective. Promote your services through your own social networks and use them to connect with potential clients. Offer different packages that include strategy, content creation, production, and performance tracking to demonstrate the value you bring. Stay updated on the latest trends (virals) and platform algorithms to consistently provide relevant and effective video content. By focusing on creating engaging short videos that enhance engagement and conversions, your agency can attract various clients and build a successful and profitable business.
Subscription-Based Services
Subscription models are great for stable income and you can use them to turn your hobby into a profitable business. For example, if you enjoy making videos, you can create and sell your own LUTs (Look-Up Tables) for video color grading or offer your photos and videos as stock footage on platforms like Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, or BlackBox (my favorite). Photography enthusiasts can start subscription services where they send exclusive edited photos 👀 each month or tips on editing images. If you enjoy teaching, you can create online courses in an area you love, whether that's video editing, photography, drawing, or anything else you’re passionate about. This model allows you to regularly provide valuable content to your subscribers and build a loyal community. Furthermore, subscriptions enable you to continuously develop your skills and tailor your offerings to your customers' needs.
Additionally, you can expand your subscription business into other areas that interest you. For example, you can start a service providing monthly beauty product packages, where customers receive new products delivered to their homes every month. If you're a skilled programmer (Adam's edit: contact us 😉), you can create and offer digital tools, such as time management apps or fitness programs, which also work very well on a subscription model as they regularly update and improve their features.
AI-Oriented Business
AI and automation are the future and can help you build your own business without significant investments. If you like technology or programming, you can start with simple projects. For example, you can create chatbots for companies that need to automate customer support. Or you can develop automation tools that help businesses save time and streamline their processes.
For those interested in data science or analysis, you can create automated reports or prediction models for businesses that want to better understand their customers and the market. AI allows you to process large volumes of data quickly and efficiently, which is invaluable for many companies.
If you are creative and enjoy experimenting, you can combine AI with other technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), and create innovative products or services. For example, smart home devices that learn from your habits and automatically adjust your room, house, or apartment.
Automation allows you to focus on the more important aspects of your business while AI takes care of routine tasks. This model not only saves you time but also reduces costs and increases efficiency. Moreover, AI enables you to continually improve your services and adapt to customer needs, leading to their satisfaction and loyalty.
Personal Brand – Create Your Own Image
A personal brand is incredibly important today and can help you stand out and create your own successful business. If you have a passion or talent, such as photography, video creation, writing, or fashion design, you can build your personal brand through Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. Start by regularly sharing content that reflects your interests and expertise. Interact with your followers, respond to comments, and build a community of people who support you. Collaborate with other creators or brands to expand your reach to more people. Invest in the appearance of your profiles, create a brand, and maintain a consistent style across all your posts. A personal brand allows you not only to attract customers but also to build long-term relationships and trust, which is key to success in today’s digital world. Turning your passions into a strong personal brand opens doors to various opportunities, from collaborations to your own products or services that you can offer to your fans.
Freelancing
Freelancing is an excellent way to turn your skills and interests into a profitable business. If you have a talent for something, such as writing, graphic design, programming, or video creation, you can start offering your services online. Platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, or Freelancer allow you to find clients from all over the world who are looking for your skills. For example, if you enjoy creating graphics, you can offer design services for posters or social media posts. If you like editing videos, you can provide video editing services for YouTube channels or marketing campaigns. For those with programming experience, it is possible to create websites, apps, or automation scripts for businesses. Freelancing allows you to work flexibly, select projects that interest you, and simultaneously build a portfolio and reputation in the industry. Moreover, as a freelancer, you can continuously expand your skills and offerings based on what the market demands. Turning your hobby into a freelance business provides the opportunity to earn money doing what you love while allowing you the flexibility and freedom to do business from anywhere.
