Businesses that are running today In Venezuela

The Venezuelan has had to overcome barriers and go beyond the lifestyle to which He was accustomed. In order to sustain himself with a little more strength, he has pulled those gifts and talents that were saved to become your sources of income more solid. After so many negative things that you know about the crisis that this country is experiencing, we wish to share which businesses these people consider to be more functional and profit from the effects of socialism.

Sale of non-perishable food.

Non-perishable foods have become the best alternative to trade. The sale of foods such as rice, pasta, sauces, sugar, salt, coffee, oil, and others, is no longer a matter that belongs only to supermarkets. People in search of new alternatives have created personal contacts with distributors that facilitate the purchase of these foods wholesale or retail, and then resell them in their homes, kiosks, or sidewalks on the streets. The sales method varies according to the resources that consumers have, they can sell from sacks to small portions of food that they separate into bags, to that everyone can buy. For example, 1 liter of oil is distributed in smaller portions and stored in reused jars, to sell them at a lower cost. Prices are established as the cost of the dollar increases in bolivars according to the black market, in order not to lose the money invested or the profits obtained. The owners who are most maintained are those who know how to manage their finances, they control their expenses and treasure their profits.

Candies for sale.

Venezuelans love sweets, and in view of this need many people with a talent for pastry and bakery have created their businesses based on the idea of sell national and international sweets. Like any business to start, you need money to invest, but people start with what little they have at their fingertips, be it with a coconut candy or vanilla, they make the first profit and invest again. Candy ideas to sell have really evolved, with ice cream, cookies, cakes and sandwiches. The owners learn new recipes on the internet and adapt them to what they have available in the country. They advertise themselves to sell them on social networks such as Whatsapp or Facebook and make the delivery themselves. They may be selling on the streets of the city with trays in their hands or from their home, whether on request or by direct purchase, this business will always have customers. The prices also go according to the change of the dollar to bolivars of the day. 

Sewing.

Since buying new clothes is a luxury in Venezuela and we always need someone to accommodate our garments, sewing is a feasible business for whoever has these needle and thread skills. It does not matter if you have a sewing machine or not, if you know sewing you can surely put a new zipper on the pants or fit a shirt. The advantage of this business is the possibility of working from home, and the minimum value of spending. Usually, the seamstresses or tailors ask for all the material to carry out the work, and they only charge for labor.  Sewing may not be as popular as other businesses, but it will have its customers fixed after doing a good job on time.

Mobile phone repair.

The cell phone has become part of our life, no matter if it is a basic model or smartphone, we need it to communicate. Buying a new cell phone in Venezuela represents a real sacrifice, the prices are exorbitant, so people prefer to repair their phones even when they are very old and worn. Cell phone technical service is a feasible business for those who have knowledge of electronics and microelectronics, they will surely have the ability to fix basic things changing speakers, microphones or screens to give a little more life to the cell phones. They start their work with a makeshift soldering iron, screwdrivers and some bits of tin, Over time they acquire new techniques to solve more serious problems.

Freelancer.

Finally, the Venezuelan with his limited access to the internet and new technologies has launched into the digital world as a freelancer to offer their services anywhere in the world. In the network, you can find a Venezuelan call center as well as, writers, graphic designers, teachers, virtual assistants or YouTubers. From my point of view, it is a way to get better earnings to live in Venezuela because services are paid in currencies other than Bolívar. You can work from home on your schedule, and you have the opportunity to build international relationships. You only need to invest in the payment of internet service and have a computer or electronic device with access to the web.  Although things are upside down in Venezuela, you can see that they do not get tired of fighting to stay alive. There may be a sea of ​​opposition but always there will be a light of opportunity.
