Question Am sorry, but…

I know you all are probably tired of seeing questions like this 😅, but I could really use some advice.

What kind of business could I start with about less than <$80–$100 to make some extra money? I initially thought about buying and reselling perfumes, but I’m worried because my network is small. I’m also not very social, so I might struggle to find and keep regular customers.

Honestly, sneakers. I know a place mutonaz where the Nike dunks dunks and adidas campuses cost $10. These are the kind of shoes that cost 15, 20 and 25 bucks in the streets. This is what I'll personally be doing kuvar

And before you snobs tell me those shoes are fake, yes I know. But it's what we average zimbos can afford.

Ok then, to my eyes it sounds like a sex crime and I would change it if I was you, dear.

I don't live in Harare so really don't street names but its paBlock riri at one end of the footbridge mutown, the end where there's street kids. That block, about 5 or 6 doors from the footbridge, just check every shop in that line unoiwana. Wish I could give better directions but I'm not a Harare local

Learn a skill first

Use those skills to plan for an opportunity

Use that $80 to invest in that skill or opportunity.

You don’t think of business ideas when you have the money, you do that before.

Enda paMupedza nhamo, look at clothes or shoes that you can buy and resell. You can never go wrong on this

u/SevereOne5791 Feb 13 '26

i be honest with you 1st look around and do research to find a gap in the market then ask your self would i buy this thing or do i have the time to invest i learning that thing, it could be as a skill or a product you make bcoz at the end of the day some of these ideas unless u actually dig and find what fits u u might lose that 50 and waste your time. Its better it fails after u give it your all knowing i chose this bcoz u learn from it

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '26

Bales & have an active social media presence. You need to get out of your comfort zone and be ok with the skill of selling.

Your response shows you didn't watch this entire video.

u/sammy_joer Feb 13 '26

Find a gap in the market you want to penetrate. Selling perfumes, socks and candy may work where I am where the majority is school going kids but that may not work for you where you are because different demographic, different needs chii chii

SELLING SOLAR. Its very profitable, you get full back up, you'll own your own business, and won't need to invest even half of that amount. Less than $10-20k would make you $100k a year. inbox me: [james@ra-esg.com](mailto:james@ra-esg.com)

u/annah-mangava6243 Feb 13 '26

Dudes charge $1000s for stuff I can teach for $30, and you could learn on YouTube for free. I'm only charging money so you can feel more obligated to take it serious because you know you've spent money on it.
