Lets be honest, no one came to China for their health. Most expats are here because of the money. Sure it is an interesting culture, but it is the money or the job that keeps us here. If we were not being well paid or gambling on getting rich in China we would probably head back home.
Living in China and making money in China however are two very different things. Making money isn’t as easy as living here. The beauty of China however is that its consumer base is huge, under going rapid transformation and they are open to anything so long as you tell them that it is popular in whatever foreign country you come from. So here is my list of ten money making Ideas. I will also sell you the business plan for 10,000 RMB each. Hey, these ideas are worth a million at least and are very popular in foreign countries.
Teletubbies Impersonator: You might not know it, but the teletubbies are boffo box office for those millions of Chinese two year-olds, and thus millions of their parents. So purchase or design a Teletubbies custom and flog yourself as either Chinese version of Tinky-Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, or Po and make the rounds of Kids parties for 500 RMB a hour for each Teletubby that apears. Added bonus is that given the language level associated with the Teletubbies it will be realy easy to master Teletubby Chinese. Estimated Start Up Costs: 5,000 RMB for a costume and Chinese Web page.
Pimp My Teacher inc,: Male prostitution ring, not really legal, but then that never stopped an enterprising businessman in China. The basic idea is as follows. Older respectable rich Chinese ladies (I am talking anyone over 30) often desire sex, but it is not like they can hang out at a local meat market and just pick up anyone. There is always the risk of black mail. Now here is where you come in, you pimp out your expat male friends for a fee. Most of these guys are going to say Yes. You take a 60% commission, and pay 40% to the man whore, you can give a higher commission for bedding the ugly ones. If he gets uppity and wants a better commission then slap that man whore. Estimated Start Up Costs: Nothing
Lotteriesrus.com: China is stock market mad, Loteriesrus.com takes advantage of this phenomenon. A web based business, you get a partner in the US, Canada, UK or Europe to purchase lottery tickets each week. You then resell these tickets, via a Chinese website, at an inflated price, Part of the service you supply is the ability to redeem these tickets, since it is usually not legal for non residents to collect payment of lottery winnings, and you only charge a flat 10% of the winnings. They cover the cost of the ticket, you collect the money. Estimated Start Up Costs: 10 to 20,000 RMB and someone you can trust.
Rent a Reverend: It is popular in Japan, so why not China? The modern Chinese bride needs something to make her wedding a special event. A western style ceremony with a foreign Reverend to say a few words is just the ticket. Legally the couple are already married, all you have to do is show up in a clergyman’s collar, say the marriage vows, bless the couple, have a few shots at the wedding dinner, pose for a few photos. The mock ceremony is legal in China and adds a bit of color to the young couples marriage. You can even get yourself ordained on-line. Estimated Start Up Costs: The price of a black shirt and a pastors collar.
Game-assistant.com: The online gaming world is a huge and people actually take it very seriously. Not everyone however has the time, skills or ability to build characters up the top levels. Game-assistant.com will build a character for you or assist you in acquiring the money you need to purchase that magic sword, performing those tedious task, while your sleep, for a fixed cost. All you need do is hire a few gamers in China to work at home and you act as the middle man. Estimated Start Up Costs: 10,000 to 100,000 RMB depending on how much on-line advertising you do.
Pimp My QQ: China already has a automobile culture, but it is changing as cars get cheaper and the drivers get younger. Pimp my QQ is a custom body shop that specializes in customizing autos offering a wide selection of aftermarket options. I have never seen a low rider in China, but I know they are coming. Estimated Start Up Costs: 50,000 to 200,000 RMB.
Have a Good Day” English Services: Everyone teaches English, but a good niche is needed to defientate your school for all those other sausage factories. Teaching soft skills is a huge market as Chinese customers demand it, and businesses learn how it can increase profits. Have a Good Day English Services is about winning the continuing battle against poor customer service. This is not just business English, it is about teaching Chinese businessmen those key words that will convince a client they actually know something about customer service. Targeted at corporations you train Chinese staff in the most effective way to speak to customers. Estimated Start Up Costs: Zero to 400,000 RMB.
Sino/Internet Report Service: There is money to be made on the Internet, but you really have to dig. Search engines are great but what if you are looking for specific data or information on an industry and that information is in Chinese? China has a huge workforce, hire ten, college educated surfers at 500 RMB a month, have them work from home or give them a computer and an Internet connection. Offer customized searches of Bidu or Alla Baba or less well known search engines and Chinese websites. Sell translated reports or eat away at your customers, competitors CPC budget. When they are not doing that have your minions sign up for free stuff using fictitious names and e-mail addresses then sell that stuff on e-bay. Estimated Start Up Costs: 100,000 to 200,000 RMB
Hotdog Stand: Hotdogs are cheap and easy to make. Build yourself a hot dog stand, design the logo and sell the hot dogs and stands, as well as franchise the idea in other cities. The stand need not be complicated. Just clean. Estimated Start Up Costs: 10,000 RMB.
Chinese Bumper Stickers: Chinese car culture is changing as more and younger drivers hit the street. What is missing? Why bumper stickers of course. Previously only old Chinese businessmen could afford cars and they purchased cars that gave them status. A bumper sticker made no sense to them because they had no sense of Ha Ha. Today younger people have more access to cars and they will probably want to customize them, so why not sell the Chinese version of “My Other Car is a Mercedes” or “I Love Mao.” Estimated Start Up Costs: 10,000 to 20,000 RMB.
