Options and opportunities are abundant to say the least, though the following represent perhaps the most lucrative prospects of all for those who get it right:

eSports

Already worth approximately $1.1 billion this year, the eSports industry in the United States is expected to hit $1.7 billion by the end of the decade.  Nevertheless, comparatively few service providers are making any real headway into the phenomenon. As such, now really is the perfect time to get in at ground level.

 

Influencer Representation

Nevertheless, the vast majority lack the kind of representation that could net them the most lucrative deals and partnerships of all. If you have any experience whatsoever in PR, influencer representation could be for you.

Home & Building Maintenance

Property maintenance services are not what you’d call a passing fad. Instead, demand for quality property maintenance and repairs is constant across the whole of United States.

Marijuana/Cannabis Business

If you can break into the legal cannabis industry in the United States, now’s the time to think about doing it. By 2020, the total US the cannabis industry is expected to grow in value from its current $8 billion or so to more than $20.5 billion. Savvy entrepreneurs across the country are already making their fortunes in the so-called ‘green gold rush’ why not follow their example?

Street Vendor Business

The recent and ongoing boom in the popularity of street vendors and food trucks in general isn’t going anywhere for the foreseeable future. Particularly in the cases of those businesses focusing on unique and exotic food products from around the world. Significantly easier and cheaper than opening a restaurant, with limitless potential for growth.

An enormously lucrative market generating more than $50 billion per year, which is expected to experience further growth of more than 40% within the next five years.
