Innovative & Profitable Business Ideas
Some of the most profitable business ideas are those that identify problems in the market and find innovative ways to solve them. As you research business possibilities, consider your individual skills and look into ways that you can leverage them to create a business that will take advantage of trends in the market.

Application Design
-
As more cell phones and mobile Internet devices work with applications, the business opportunities expand. With an application design business, you can create your own applications and market them to customers who are looking for innovative solutions to common problems. Design applications that increase convenience for users, using your own experiences as a basis. You can also market your application design services to businesses that want to offer their web content on mobile devices; offer to work with them to develop an application that meets their needs and those of their customers.
Mobile Spa
-
For many busy professionals, finding time for a trip to the spa is a difficult proposition in a life packed with work and family obligations. If you live in an area with a large number of businesses, start a mobile spa business to bring relaxation to people in their workplace. Offer a variety of treatments that can be done in a small space without a great deal of work, from facial treatments to massage services. Bring your spa directly to the clients and use their office, a break room or a lounge as the location. You can also expand the business by offering services to travelers in hotels or busy parents who cannot leave their children.

Eco Consultant
-
With the push to reduce carbon emissions and add sustainable practices to the business and home, an eco consultant business can be profitable from the start. Offer audits of homes and businesses to help them go green. Meet with the clients to determine their motivation, goals and the extent to which they are willing to make changes; then, perform the audit of the facilities and operations, and make recommendations. Focus your marketing on the savings and environmental benefit.
Social Media Consultant
-
Social media is moving beyond a marketing trend, and many businesses want to join in but do not have the expertise, particularly if their employees are in an older age bracket. Use your social media knowledge to start a consulting business to help companies create a campaign and presence that suits their individual style and business. Set up profiles on the correct websites and offer the opportunity to manage postings that are emailed to you. Be prepared with figures about the impact of social media on marketing to sway business owners who are uncertain of the benefit to the bottom line.
