This is the list of the best small businesses opportunities for 2018, chosen from across a variety of industries.
Here are my picks for the best small business ideas based on current trends in business and demographics.
1. Virtual Reality
Virtual reality computing (VR) is a huge leap forward in immersing the user in a realistic sensory experience. Hardware and software vendors are working furiously to bring new VR products to the marketplace and the industry is growing at a parabolic rate - according to statista by 2020 the worldwide size of the VR market will be in excess of $40 billion.
The potential uses of virtual reality for business or pleasure are practically limitless, for example:
3D movies - watching a movie in 360 degree VR
Real estate marketing - imagine searching for a new home and being able to take an online VR walk through of an advertised house from the comfort of your desk chair
Gaming - VR is revolutionizing the gaming industry, with new VR titles being released on an almost weekly basis
2. Software Engineering and Development
Software engineers and developers create, test and maintain software on a variety of platforms, from mainframes to mobile devices. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for software developers is expected to increase by 17 percent each year through 2023, and the median pay in 2014 was slightly over $100,000 per year.
The nature of the software development industry makes it ideal for contract employment. Many software engineers start out as salaried employees and eventually become self-employed contractors. Cloud computing and ease of remote access make software development an ideal home-based business.

Pelatih Bali United, Hans Peter Schaller mengatakan bahwa penyerang Persija Jakarta, Marko Simi menjadi sosok pembeda pada laga final yang dimenangkan Persija dengan skor 3-0. Penyerang anyar Persija tersebut tampil beringan dengan mencetak dua gol di laga final Piala Presiden 2018.
"Simic yang membuat perbedaan. Simic tampil luar biasa dan sangat ganas di depan gawang. Dia adalah penyerang yang berkelas," ungkap Hans Peter Schaller usai pertandingan di Stadion Utama Gelora Bung Karno (SUGBK), Senayan, Jakarta, Sabtu (17/2).
Pelatih berkebangsaan Austria itu juga menyebut Simic sangat berbahaya dalam memanfaatkan peluang sekecil apapuun terutama saat bola mati.
"Kami tak mampu mengantisipasi tendangan bebas dengan baik. Kami membuat kesalahan di babak pertama dan berujung dua gol untuk Persija," ujar Hans Peter Schaller.
Senada dengan sang pelatih, kapten Bali United, Fadil Sausu menyebut Super Simic -julukan Marko Simic- menyatakan bahwa striker asal Kroasia itu meiliki paket yang lengkap sebagai seorang pencetak gol sejati. "Dia (Simic) penyerang yang memiliki segalanya. Dia memiliki fisik kuat, bisa bekerja sama dengan baik serta bisa menciptakan gol dari segala posisi," katanya.
"Banyak faktor yang membuat kami kalah, para pemain hilang konsentrasi saat gol cepat. Dan mereka (Persija) mendapatkan dukungan penuh dari puluhan ribu suporternya di Jakarta," tegas Fadil.[]
