You should create an e-store that aims to sell only niche products and you can create a website for your shop using WordPress with just a few clicks. WordPress has all the basic functions needed for an online store such as inventory, order, customer management and payment gateway as well as cart system.
If you do not have a lot of money you can try to leverage these options to maximize your earnings: dropshipping, micro-influencer marketing and pick a product for a targeted audience that is high in demand.
Open Home Service Booking Website
You would be astonished how much people are willing to pay for simple home service jobs. These days, everyone is busy doing their things and nobody wants to do home services themselves as well as they do not have the time to search for a local plumber, carpenter or electrician.

Create a Local Business Listing Website
This is not the most profitable online business idea and it would not work for everyone. However, if you live in a big city or a city that attracts a lot of visitors, you can potentially earn a lot of money.
Data is everything in today’s world. So a lot of the times city dwellers and tourists are searching for precise information about the businesses and services that are available in the area they are visiting. You can help them by creating a simple business such as restaurant, shops, printing services listing website.
To monetize your website you can ask businesses for money if they want to rank higher on the list or they want to have a commercial on the website. Also, you can run Google AdSense as well as ask people for donations to earn some extra money.
This can easily be done by using WordPress plugins such as GeoDirectory or Business Directory Plugin.
Start Advertising Website
There are a bunch of companies and people that would pay money for their advertisement so why not to use that to your advantage. You can create a WordPress website that allows people to sell their old stuff or rent their apartment.

Also, you can create local business advertising website similarly to the site as mentioned above. You can divide your website into categories and show commercials according to the category. There are specific WordPress themes made especially for websites like that as well as plugins that can lend you a hand in creating one.
Write a Professional Blog
There is a bunch of blogs out there and firstly you need to think about how you will be different from others. If you have something to write about and you are interested in it, I fully encourage you to do that and maybe you will succeed big time.
WordPress was originally created for bloggers and to this day it is still one of the most convenient content management systems for them. You can start a blog with just a few clicks without any prior programming knowledge.
Later when you will build up your audience you can set up a Patreon page to collect donations from readers, put Google AdSense and maybe write sponsored posts or review. It might seem hard and boring. However, a lot of people work on their blogs full-time and have a decent living. The best thing about it that you can work from almost anywhere.
