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.

Marko Simic baru saja bergabung dengan Persija Jakarta dan dikontrak selama dua tahun ke depan. Meskipun baru bergabung, namun bomber asal Kroasia itu sudah mampu membuktikan kualitasnya dengan menjadi top skor Piala Presiden 2018.
Namun tak banyak yang tahu, ternyata Simic memang bukan striker sembarangan. Karena ia pernah memperkuat timnas Kroasia U-21, dan bergabung dengan pemain-pemain yang kini memiliki nama besar di kancah sepakbola dunia.
Di sana, Simic bertemu dengan Ivan Perisic, Mario Mandzukic, dan Ivan Rakitic. Seperti diketahui, sekarang Perisic bermain bersama Inter Milan dan Mandzukic bermain untuk Juventus, sementara Rakitic bermain bersama Barcelona di Spanyol.
Selama membela timnas Kroasia U-21, Simic berhasil mencetak 3 gol dari total 7 penampilannya di level internasional. Meskipun nasib Simic tidak semujur ketiga pemain itu, namun bomber berusia 30 tahun tersebut mampu menjadi idola baru bagi para suporter Persija, The Jakmania.
Patut ditunggu kontribusi Simic di kompetisi Liga 1 musim 2018 mendatang bersama tim Macan Kemayoram. Karena prestasinya sejuah ini, ia pun dipastikan bakal menjadi pusat perhatian bek tim lawan pada kompetisi musim depan.
