What Online Business to Start ?
There are plenty of opportunities to start an online business. The great advantage of the digital world is it’s easy to start. After a few hours of research I’ve decided to provide a translation and content writing services from home.
You can provide any services like SEO, paid ads, ecommerce, social media, graphics, video editing, music, voice over, press release, AI prompts, CRM, ERP, business plan, business registration, taxation – in one word the sky is the limit here. Just select the niche where you have little bit expertise and strong interest. Gradually you can improve your skills by doing practice more.
how to Get Clients ?
The biggest question is how to get clients to offer services. There are several ways, I will mention two of them here :
1. Reach to the local Kuwait market and contact the business owners near to your place. I introduced myself as a content writing expert to the hospitals, gym owners, yoga centres at Salmiya area. You can select any industry and any location in Kuwait.
2. Create a FREE Fiverr Business account and publish your first 7 gigs. Before that make sure to set up your profile nicely and pass two or three basic exams. All exams are free and most of them are not mandatory as well . But it will help you to stand out from the crowd. This account will help you to outsource the projects as well with so many advanced features. Once you publish 7 gigs in low competition keywords, you will start getting orders.

This is exactly the way on how to start an online business in Kuwait. Try to do the work yourself in the beginning. Once you start getting a flow with many orders, you can simply outsource the tasks with other freelancers and keep some profit margins. Fiverr Business is an all-in-one tool to earn money online anywhere from the world, from Kuwait as well.
How to Outsource Extra Workloads?
Once you have a Fiverr Business account you can hire the best talent at a cheap price starts from 5 USD or one and half KWD only. Here are the few points you can cosider before outsourcing your tasks on Fiverr :
- You note down all the requirements or goals in a doc
- Communicate clearly with the sellers
- Donot make hurry to hire
- Read the reviews received by the sellers
- Visit their past works or portfolio, if not attached then ask them to send in the chatbox
- Try to chat with as many sellers as possible to you find the best one
- Always negotiate on the price , but never compromise with the quality
- Hire the best talent who answer all your questions fast and accurately.
- Place the orders, share the access and all other details, if any.
- Be in touch with seller, answer all his questions and ask the seller about the progress frequently.
- Deposit the payment to the escrow but approve it only after your client is completely satisfied.
- Donot deal outside the Fiverr, this way you may be cheated.
Currency is Dollar
Though you will get paid and pay the freelancers in Kuwaiti Dinar, all the prices will show in American Dollar.
3 KWD = 10 USD as of March 2023.
Conclusion
I hope you understand the concept. One more thing is you don’t need your own website , logo, content, business email, huge personal fund in the beginning. You can use free Gmail , your existing mobile number, bank account number, free PayPal and Payoneer account to receive payment from Fiverr.
A 10 to 50 KD balance is enough to hire 2 – 3 freelancers and you approve the payment once your client pay you. If your client asks for the revisions , the same you tell the freelancers to do. You release the payment only when your clients are satisfied, or else you will get a full refund, So this way you are completely safe.
Gain your clients trust by delivering high quality works and meet their expectations. You can ask some advance amount thereafter but not in the starting days. All the best for your future journey !
