 Apparel and Accessories Business: This includes clothes, shoes, belts, ties, gloves and
even hats, and is regarded as a broad category with a large significant number of opportunities
for new businesses. You can offer unique or rare products that are not readily available in most
of the competing stores online. Also, some apparel niches have few or weak competition. For
example, you could go into business with team apparel suppliers, especially those that deal in
uniforms for high school students, or t-shirts. This is just one of the niches out of a thousand of
others you as an entrepreneur can go into.

Online Food Ordering Portal: Food home delivery is not new and has been around for a
long time, however with ecommerce; you can tie your portal to a local restaurant and allow
customers order for food online. You can also create a common platform for most restaurants
and customers. Customers search for restaurants, and place order in their chosen restaurants, and
either pay for it online or opt for cash on delivery. The delivery is done by the restaurant with
you getting a commission for each delivery.

 Health and Beauty: According to studies in 2012, this sector is worth over $15 billion, and
has shown no signs of slowing down, because more people are coming to care for their health
and beauty either organically or otherwise. Nowadays, shopping online is second nature to most
customers, however, it will do your business more good, if you not only focus on creating a
website but also getting apps for your stores, as 85% of customers favor apps over mobile
websites. Having a store online is great since you can make use of advanced data analytics to see
what your customers like buying, how often and even their location, so that you can focus on that
area.
Online Grocery Store: In starting this business, you would need to build a website, by first
buying a domain name, renting a hosting plan, and then uploading clear images of your products
to your website. You would also need to source for your products by finding suppliers that can
give you their products at a discount rate. Another great option for you is in introducing drop
shipping method on your site where you list products as available on your site, and then calling
your supplier to supply to whoever places and order.

Online Rental Business: Renting is one of the core areas of ecommerce in this current age.
People now prefer to rent than to own an item. This is why the online renting sector has seen
such a huge growth, with the potential of growing some more. Building an online rental portal is
so that people could connect with each other for renting different items. Prospective renters can
choose their preferred item for a limited period of time. These way owners can make money with
the items they rarely use, while the renter gets to use the item without having to buy a new one.
The website gets commission on each transaction.

 Online Sports and Recreation Retail Store: Sports and recreation stores are regarded
as specialty retail establishments that sell apparel, equipment, and supplies that are needed for
various indoor and outdoor activities. However, you need to target a niche as this will enable you
focus on a particular market instead of trying to compete with well-established nationwide chain
stores. Selling online means that you might not need a bank loan; you can open your e-commerce
retail store, or you sell via an internet auction website. You would still need a storage facility to
store your products, and can use your garage for this.

Online Employment Portal: This is a niche business. An online employment portal acts as
the middleman for job seekers in desperate need of jobs, and companies who are looking for
prospective employees to fill the vacancies in their offices. In essence, your site is a platform
connecting two ends. In order to have an edge over your competitors; you would need to provide
advanced tools like analytics which can prove to be useful for job seekers.
