If you’re a woman who wants to start a small business from home with almost zero investment and earn huge profits, this article is for you.
Here, I’ll share real business ideas that women across India are using to earn lakhs per month. I personally earn from one of these ideas too — so everything you’ll read here is tested, real, and profitable.
I’ll also share examples of people who are already running these businesses successfully so you can learn from them and get inspired.
Let’s begin 👇
1. Hosting Affiliate Business
Before we go further, understand this — earlier, if someone wanted to start a business, they needed a physical shop.
Today, that “shop” is your website, and every website needs hosting (a place where all your data — like images, products, etc. — is stored).
Now here’s where you earn money — by becoming a hosting affiliate.
For example, let’s take Hostinger (one of the top hosting companies).
When someone buys hosting using your referral link, you earn a commission — usually around ₹1,000 per sale.
If even 50 people buy through your link, you earn ₹50,000!
How to get people to buy:
-
Search for local businesses on Google — like interior designers or cleaning companies.
-
Find the ones without a website and call or message them.
-
Offer to make their website for free if they buy hosting from your link.
Making a website is super easy — just use WordPress (drag-and-drop, no coding needed).
Example:
YouTuber Satish K Videos earns lakhs every month by promoting Hostinger hosting through affiliate marketing. You can check his videos to learn how he does it.
2. Dropshipping
What is dropshipping?
It’s a business where you focus only on selling, and your supplier handles everything else — packaging, shipping, and delivery.
Platforms like Dropdap or Dropship.io can help you get started.
But how will you get sales?
Here’s a real example:
A woman runs a website called Thauya.com — she doesn’t run ads at all. She just posts Instagram content every day — product videos, simple reels, offers, etc.
People discover her through Instagram and buy directly. She now earns lakhs per month — all organically.
So, start small with dropshipping suppliers. Once you get consistent sales, you can keep your own inventory.
3. Social Media Agency
Today, almost every startup or small business wants to be on social media — but most can’t afford a big agency.
That’s where you come in.
If you spend time on Instagram or know how brands grow online, this business needs zero investment — only your creativity and consistency.
Your role:
-
Create posts and short videos for brands.
-
Reply to comments and DMs.
-
Help them grow followers and engagement.
You can easily charge ₹10,000 per month for small brands just starting out.
How to find clients:
Search Instagram for small brands — type products like “handmade candles” or “t-shirt brand.”
Message them politely and offer to handle their social media.
If they like your work, they’ll happily pay you monthly.
4. Digital Product Business
A digital product is something you sell online without needing to ship — like an eBook, PDF, course, or planner.
For example, I personally earned ₹50,000 by selling a workbook called “One Percent Better Everyday”.
People buy the digital version, print it, and use it — no inventory, no shipping, no tension!
Another great example is SecretGentlemen.club — they sell a digital guide for ₹499 and earn consistently every month.
You can create similar products:
-
Fitness planners
-
Skincare guides
-
Meal plans
-
Study planners
-
Business templates
All you need is a laptop, Canva, and creativity!
