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.

Final Piala Presiden 2018 akhirnya berakhir manis bagi Persija Jakarta. Dilansir dari laman Tirto.id (17/02/2018), tidak hanya sukses raih gelar juara usai melibas Bali United 3-0, namun gelar pencetak gol terbanyak turnamen juga berhasil disabet oleh striker baru mereka, Marko Simic. Striker asal Kroasia tersebut dinobatkan sebagai topskor Piala Presiden 2018 berkat torehan 11 gol di sepanjang turnamen. Tak hanya itu, gelar pemain terbaik juga disabet mantan striker Melaka United itu.
Kesuksesan Simic di Persija bisa dibilang mengejutkan, mengingat sebelumnya ia punya catatan rasio gol yang tidak bisa dibilang bagus. Dilansir Topskor.id (17/02/2018), di Melaka, Simic tercatat hanya jebol gawang lawan 1 kali dari 9 penampilan. Begitu pula ketika tampil di Serie-C Italia bersama Pordenone, Simic hanya sekali merumput dan tanpa gol.
"Saya sangat bangga dan senang dengan penghargaan ini, tapi saya mau kasih ini untuk Persija, keluaraga saya dan The Jakmania, " Ujar Simic usai laga.
Tak hanya itu, Simic rupanya juga memiliki impian untuk memperkuat Timnas Indonesia suatu saat nanti. "Bila saya diminta main di timnas oleh PSSI, itu akan jadi kebanggaan tersendiri. Kalau Indonesia membutuhkan, saya ada di sini," ujar Simic lagi kepada topskor.id (17/02/2018).
Pantaskah kira-kira Simic mengisi barisan depan Timnas Indonesia suatu saat nanti?
