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.

Persija Jakarta berhasil mengangkat trofi penting setelah terakhir kali mereka merasakan juara di tahun 2001. Persija berhasil mengalahkan Bali United di final Piala Presiden 2018 dengan skor meyakinan, 3-0.
Di pertandingan yang berlangsung di Stadion Utama Gelora Bung Karno ini, Persija didukung langsung oleh ribuan Jakmania yang memenuhi SUGBK. Hal ini jelas membuat mental para pemain Bali United sedikit menurun karena dukungan dari tim lawan.
Sontak saja kemenangan ini menjadi berkah melimpah bagi Jakmania yang datang langsung untuk mendukung. Hal ini juga dirasakan oleh salah satu Jak Angel (sebutan fans wanita Persija), Ferika Aprilianda, yang langsung memenuhi nazarnya pasca kemenagan skuat Macan Kemayoran.
Di hari sebelumnya (17/02/18) Ferika berjanji untuk berkeliling SUGBK sebanyak sepuluh kali jika Persija berhasil raih gelar juara. Alhasil, ia pun memenuhi ucapannya. Ferika berkeliling sepuluh kali di SUGBK sehabis laga.
"Semalam aku udah lakuin. Sampe pingsan, sadar-sadar waktu udah di rumah. Banyak berhentinya sih, tapi yang penting nazarnya sudah terpenuhi," kata Ferika saat dihubungi INDOSPORT soal nazarnya (18/02).
Saat tak sadarkan diri, ia dibawa teman-temannya pulang ke rumah. Ferika pun mengaku baru sadar ketika dirinya sampai d irumah. "Sedih deh. Yang bawa pulang temen-temen aku. Betis pada kenceng, berat badan turun. Tapi ya namanya juga nazar. Temen-temen aku malah ada yang botak, ada yang nyebur di HI (Kolam depan Bundaran Hotel Indonesia) juga," tambahnya.
Selain memenangkan Piala Presiden, dua pemain Persija juga mendapatkan penghargaan pemain terbaik yang jatuh kepada Marko Simic. Sementara Rezaldi Hehanusa menjadi pemain muda terbaik sepanjang Piala Presiden 2018 ini. Bukan kali pertama, Rezaldi yang merupakan jebolan dari Liga Futsal Mahasiswa ini juga sebelumnya mendapatkan penghargaan pemain terbaik.
Bek Persija Jakarta, Rezaldi Hehanusa, menyabet gelar individu Pemain Muda Terbaik Piala Presiden 2018.
