Learn about a home business from a friend

Hello Hivers

In life there are lots of businesses that we can run, it's just that we need a way for all of that so we can develop, all need time and experience, as well as a good understanding of the business that we are going to be in, many of all existing businesses, a series of businesses which can be run at home are no less interesting and can even make a sizable profit, which can even be run as a side business

I wrote this post because I was inspired by a business run by a friend of mine, he only uses his home area to be used as a business field, and I am also a little interested in learning from him, there are two businesses he is currently running, selling fish seeds and raising ducks. ornaments which will be marketed again by him, let's see some pictures that I managed to get when visiting his house

My friends and cousins are sorting some cork and catfish seeds which will be delivered out of town, they look very serious in counting the fish seeds so that there are not even one less when they arrive at the customer's place later, I have accompanied my cousin several times me and my friend to deliver fish seeds to several areas in my country, but this is the first time I saw firsthand the process of sorting and selecting good seeds so that customers are not disappointed

He made several plastic ponds to accommodate all of these fish seeds, there were approximately 8 ponds in the back of his house, and he got all the seeds from local residents who sold them to my friend, he immediately received all the seeds without sorting them out. In the past, it was one of the marketing techniques he used which aimed to get lots of local residents to bring him seeds

Some of the ponds contain different types of fish, and he also made a special place where fish seeds that cannot be sold are raised first, but I didn't take pictures of that part of the pond

Some of the ponds look dirty, but that was deliberately made that way by friends, and this pond is used for snakehead fish seeds, whose natural habitat is in muddy swamps, and that is also one of the knowledge I got when I visited here

And the fish seeds that can be seen in the green net are fish seeds that cannot be sold yet, because they are still small, it will take about 3 weeks before they can be brought to consumers, and for treatment, there is no special treatment for snakehead fish seeds, because indeed this type of fish has a strong soul and mentality, even more ferocious than a tiger😅

On the other hand at his house, my friend also keeps hundreds of ornamental ducks and has entered the age for harvesting, there are several types of ornamental ducks that he has

The ducks look very healthy and fresh, right, that's because they are released into the wild in a fenced-in area of the house, the aim is that these ducks are not stressed and can play to their heart's content, my friend even deliberately made a swimming pool for the ducks -these ducks, even though these are decorative ducks, whose names are muddled still like to wallow, so don't limit their freedom for our own benefit

This friend of mine raised all the ducks when they were about three days old, and he bought them at a price of IDR 100,000 per head, within 6 months all the ducks could be marketed at a price 5 times the initial investment when they were bought, promising business isn't it, I'm really interested to try it too

In addition, the cost of care and food for these ducks is also not expensive and easy to get anywhere, they also rarely get sick, therefore this ornamental duck business is very suitable to be used as a side business, just feed them, especially if you have the large area will be another added value

From all my questions about these two businesses, I can conclude that, to do business you don't have to invest a lot of capital, just start with things that are easy and take advantage of your own land to do it, over time I will be able to develop it, and also the risk of these two businesses is not too big, just be wary of duck thieves😅

Well, I think that's all I can write for this time, thank you and see you soon 🙏
