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.

Indonesia sebagai salah satu barometer sepak bola dunia memang banyak memunculkan bakal bakat muda yang mampu mencuri perhatian publik. Salah satunya adalah pemain berposisi striker asal Yogyakarta, Ronaldo Joybera Kwateh.
Pemain kelahiran 19 Oktober 2004 ini mewarisi kiprah ayahnya di lapangan hijau yaitu pesepak bola asal Liberia, Roberto Kwateh yang juga menempati posisi penyerang bukanlah nama yang asing bagi publik sepak bola di Tanah Air. Seperti diketahui, sejak 2003 Roberto Kwateh sudah malang melintang di kompetisi sepak bola Indonesia. Sederet klub sudah pernah dibelanya, mulai dari PSIM Yogyakarta, Deltras Sidoarjo, PSCS Cilacap sampai Persiwa Wamena.
Ronaldo Kwateh yang karib dijuluki ‘Si Gimbal dari Bantul’ itu, kini menjadi striker SSB Pendowoharjo Bantul. Performa Ronaldo di SSB pun sangat baik dengan kemampuannnya dalam penguasaan bola dan naluri mencetak gol yang tinggi. Seperti halnya saat membela SSB nya di Festival Sepak Bola U-12 Fossbi Cup 1 di Kota Batu, dimana ia kerab mendapat pengawalan ketat dari bek lawan.
Meski begitu, Ronaldo tak kehilangan akal untuk memperdaya bek-bek lawan. Terbukti dari sembilan pertandingan yang dilakoninya bersama SSB Pendowo sejak fase penyisihan grup sampai babak 9 besar, dia berhasil mencetak sembilan gol! Alhasil, Ronaldo pun berhak atas Piala Pencetak Gol Terbanyak Festival Sepak Bola U-12 Fossbi Cup I.
Prestasi Ronaldo di usianya yang masih belia sudah cukup mentereng. Mulai dari tampil di Porda Yogyakarta, Olimpiade Olahraga Siswa Nasional (O2SN) dan menjadi salah satu atlet dalam program khusus Pembinaan Atlet Berbakat Yogyakarta.
Alhasil dari pencapaian terbaiknya tersebut, Ronaldo pun bertekad untuk terus rajin berlatih agar bisa mewujudkan cita-citanya jadi pemain sepak bola dunia.
