When you find yourself jobless it’s pointless to keep on blaming the government for neglecting you, there are over 100 businesses youths can start in Kenya forget about employment.
The best thing about business is that once you start, however small it is, the idea of employment becomes a joke. Most people have found satisfaction in business, where they grow with time and even employ their college mates.
We often find graduates bragging that since they have papers, doing manual jobs will lower their status. This kind of thinking has led many youths into drugs because of frustrations. What I can advise you, don’t wait for a job to come for you, if you find that you are unemployable look for a business venture to keep you busy.
If you are perhaps wondering which business a jobless youth can start in Kenya, below is the list.
Poultry farming
Poultry farming is extremely good for youths who live in the village. With just Ksh5,000 you can start the business.
Imagine if you buy 20 broilers at Ksh70 each, keep them for 5 weeks and sell each at Ksh350.You will earn more than Ksh 3,000.Use the profit to add more broilers, and am sure after 5 years everyone in the village will be singing your name.
Selling CD, Movies and DVD
Selling CDs,movies and DVDs is another business you can start without much capital.You only need Ksh 20,000 to rent a shop in the outskirts of Nairobi, Kisumu or Mombasa, then buy blank CDs and DVDs and start downloading movies for free.
One thing I like about this business is that you will always make more than double the amount you purchase the DVD or CD.
Online writing
There are several online companies requiring skills from graduates. Online academic writing can keep you busy in the meantime as you apply for employment.
Most companies in Kenya pay Ksh150-Ksh250 per single page. If you manage to write 10 pages per day, you will comfortably make at least Ksh1, 500, which translates to Ksh45,000 per month-this money is not taxed.
Online marketing/Blogging
Blogging is a wonderful profession but most youths believe it’s just for passing time. We have over 3,000 Kenyans who are full time bloggers. If you ask these guys to stop what they are dong and search for a job, they can commit suicide.
There are bloggers in this country who earn up to Ksh 3 million per month.
Alternatively, you can start online shop where you sell women clothes, shoes, handbags, electronics, smartphones, TVs etc.
An online store require a website, marketing skills and where to source your products. You can contact venas news if you need a clean website. Our email address [email protected].
If you need to advertise you can also contact venas news where you pay as little as Ksh1, 000 per month and get value for your money.
Start farming profitable crops.
The best crops to farm in Kenya include cabbages, sukumawiki, traditional vegetables, watermelon and tomatoes.
You should avoid planting crops that take more than 6 months to mature.
Start fast food restaurant in major towns
Don’t mind about chunk food-your interest is to make money. A fast food restaurant in a busy environment will bring you up to Ksh15, 000 per day-ask anyone with the same.
Data Analysis and proposal writing services

Experienced data analysts charge Ksh 15,000 to analyze diploma data, degree data takes Ksh25,000 while masters data takes Ksh 30,000-Ksh50,000.
If you have 3 clients a month you can make up to Ksh100,000
