Commodification and Business Ideas

[KJ]

In capitalist economies, every good, service, idea can be potentially considered a commodity —
there is profit in everything that the eye can gaze upon and the mind can summon; thus there is never a shortage of business ideas if one simply looks at what is in front of them or around them.

How do I make money?

You already know.

By bourgeoisie is meant the class of modern capitalists, owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labor. By proletariat, the class of modern wage laborers who, having no means of production of their own, are reduced to selling their labor power in order to live.

• Friedrich Engels, The Communist Manifesto, footnote (1888 edition)

The class of big capitalists, who, in all civilized countries, are already in almost exclusive possession of all the means of subsistance and of the instruments (machines, factories) and materials necessary for the production of the means of subsistence. This is the bourgeois class, or the bourgeoisie.

• Friedrich Engels, Principles of Communism (1847) [2]

But it does.

Own the means of production, own something regardless of how mundane it may seem as long as it will bring cash flow.

A sensible question. Find whatever way to get the money to purchase machinery/capital. It’ll pay itself off very quickly with an eventual healthy surplus.

You need a wear house, business license, workers to exploit and even then bigger businesses can sell the product for cheaper

Your only hope is to offer convenience and fast turn around time to local businesses/customers. I worked in some small machine shops that’s just how it is.

For the average product - not really. You can easily store several hundred pieces of goods in an average room, probably more. I’ve got about 100 pieces right now in my room, you just need to compress them down a bit and stack them in boxes.

And you don’t need a license or workers if you’re just retailing a product online. You can ship it out yourself, or send it to Amazon’s warehouse in exchange for smaller profits. I think retailing is good to start off with to eventually get into fields with higher barriers of entry.

I agree with your last remark, you obviously need to have a competitive advantage be it price or product differentiation.

I thought you were talking about buying your own machines and manufacturing things not selling a product

Yes, that should be the end goal.
