yep!!! to Eastleigh -Garissa lodge buy 8 bags each worth 600/=4800/= if you are a chick carry one to work and tell one of your lady colleagues that you have these beautiful bags that are going for only 1000/=. and you will see how all will disappear within minutes. If you are a dude patia your galfriend tell her to go do marketing to her friends. tell your guy pals to buy for their galfriends as a surprise. After selling all of them you will have made an extra 3k add the capital of 5k equals 8k. reinvest all the capital,this time mix shoes,bags jewelery etc. and there you have it!!! i guess women make the best customers. business trick.. talk,talk to pple,talk to more pple.

Roasting maize....very good business during cold whether.....You buy a metallic basin(700/) and modify it with soil and a wire mesh...about (200/=) ..... see an existing current maize roaster and steal some expertize.... start with 50 maize cobs @ 5 cost and sell @ 10 ..... you also need charcoal...100/= for a start ...

Total investment 700+200+250+100=1250/= and you are in business....Remember to join a sacco so that you can move from maize roasting to a better business(eg food kiosk) fast through sacco loan.

look for a strategic position to start your business ....beware of city council ......but in the slums you will hardly get any problem.....

You can also try the liquid soap business.. You only need 400/= to buy the chemical. the 20ltr mtungi itself,the 5litre Jerricans(about 6 of them) and maybe a mixing bowl. Oh,and water.. All this will cost you about 900/= for the first attempt,assuming you dont dilute the soap too much. Each 5 ltr jerrican of soap goes for about 200bob... so if you get a good market(you can start with neighbours and friends),you can make quite some good cash per week. Make quality soap and avoid too much diluting and your clients will always come back for more and refer you to others. Become buddies with Mamas and people who can help you sell soap at their work places... It's a very lucrative business

You can try joining Oriflame which is one of these Multilevel Marketing things. The good thing is that startup is 900 and you are in business. They deal with cosmetics made out of natural stuff.

You can call Eva on 0720319819 for more details. And of course,women will give you good business in it.

If this becomes your niche,you can also try GNLD.

BTW,I like this thread ....
