How to start a small business with only $500 in a few days

One of the most realistic ways to start a small business and make money online is by selling digital or physical products.

Selling digital products is a preferred option for many because of its advantages, especially the passive income feature.

But building competitive, high-quality digital products requires accumulated knowledge and experience, while building a physical product often requires only capital and a smart idea.

In this article, we provide you with a solution to the capital dilemma, a simple idea to build a physical product and start a small business for only $500.

The idea is simple:

You’ll build a device—a drone payload release system—that costs you about $5.

You will start with 100 units ($500).

This device is sold on the internet for $60 to $200.

During the last four years, I bought one drone payload release system device and I built more than five devices myself for me and my friends. I used both bought and homemade devices. They have the same torque of 1.2 kg, but mine was stronger and lighter (18 grams).

The bought device works only with a drone that has a pin for tilt – gimbal socket, while my homemade device works almost with any drone.

The homemade drone payload release system device cost me about $2. It consists of three parts only:

-Plastic or wood board;

-6 cm metal rod;

-9g servo motor.

The 9g servo motor can be bought from AliExpress for about $1.3 (free shipping).

In my case, I bought six pieces of 9g servo motors from Banggood for $6.27 (about $1 each piece).

This is a demonstration of the personal version—homemade device—which cost only $2

But the homemade device can’t be sold directly to the client because you have to open the drone light cover.

For the drone payload release system commercial version based on LDR—a ready device to ship to the client, no need to open the drone light cover, no need to modify your drone in any manner, nor do you need to open it—you have to buy additional components and design a circuit. It costs less than $5 when working on 100 units or more.

Drone payload release system commercial version components price

The cost of production is affected by several factors, on top of which is the source of purchasing the components, of course, in addition to the number of units produced, this is obvious.

For the number of units produced to launch the project, we will consider 100 units in the first stage, which is reasonable and does not contain any risks.

Below are the prices of the components (one device) based on 100 units' price (average price on Aliexpress and Alibaba).

ComponentsPrice 9g servo motor 180 degrees$0.8 Transistor$0.025 Diode$0.015 3 resistors$0.01 Universal Electronic Circuit Breadboard$0.5 LDR (Photoresistor)$0.05 3.7 volts Battery$0.5 (*) 2 small plastic case + 6cm metal rod$1 TOTAL$2.9

-The price is for one piece when buying 100 pieces .

- The electronic components vary depending on the circuit design. In my demonstration, I used only a transistor and a diode in addition to the LDR and battery .

(*) Estimated price.

Drone payload release system prices on the Internet

If you go to the Gannet website (dronefishing.com), which is one of the most well-known in this field, you will see that their device relies on the same concept using LDR that receives light from the Drone's LEDs.

Gannet's devices' prices vary between $59 and $185.

If you go to FliFli Airdrop, which is one of the best payload release systems on the market, you'll find that they have one price for all drone payload releases: $199.

FliFli Airdrop device doesn’t rely on the same concept as my device and Gannet's device, it is a stand-alone device that has its own battery, transmitter, and receiver; but it does the same work.

Apart from Gannet Pro and FliFli Airdrop, we find from time to time small stores on Amazon and eBay selling their devices for $50 to $100.

In some cases, we find cheap devices (about $40) that work only with a drone that has pin for tilt – gimbal socket.

Can you make a fortune through this project?

Certainly not, at least nowadays.

Despite the great spread of personal drones in the past few years, their everyday use is still limited to photography. The use of drones in fishing or any other field that requires a mechanism to release the load is not as common as in photography.

But this small project can be launched with only $500 in a few days and does not require any additional costs such as employees, storage, etc.

Such a project represents significant additional income. If you manage to sell 1,000 to 2,000 units annually—which is a bit difficult and requires good knowledge of digital marketing—you can make profits in the range of $40,000 to $100,000 annually.

Even if your annual sales are limited to several hundred, say, for example, from 400 to 800 units, this represents an additional annual income in the range of $15,000 to $30,000.

We are talking about diversifying sources of income—multiple streams of income.

There is no doubt that earning an additional annual income in the range of $20,000 is good, especially if your business need only $500 and few days to be launched.

For more details, you can check my course on Udemy, which covers:

-How to build a drone payload release mechanism—personal use—with about $2;

-The basic idea to start a business based on drone payload release mechanism;

-The best practices to use drone for fishing;

-How to avoid drone crashing based on four years of experience and more than 300 flights.

Competitive Landscape-

Key Players Focus on Delivering Essentials via UAVs to Prevent Coronavirus Infection

The market is highly fragmented with the presence of a wide range of manufacturing companies all over the world. Some of them are presently focusing on delivering essentials through drones owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. The others are focusing on mergers and acquisitions with other local enterprises to strengthen their positions. Below are a couple of the latest industry developments:

June 2020: After Wing, a firm owned by Google parent Alphabet launched its new drone delivery service in Virginia, Kelly Passek became the first customer. She is a middle-school librarian who petitioned the company to deliver library books to help kids in reading and learning amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

September 2019: Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, a defense company based in Israel, successfully acquired Aeronautics Limited worth USD 240 million. This would help the latter to combine its expertise in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance with Rafael’s large network in the U.S. market.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has halted the operations of several companies. But, some of them have resumed their production processes by stringently following social distancing and low workforce measures.

Yermak said the drones were Shahed models, known for crashing into the targets with explosive payloads. Ukraine estimates that Russia ordered 2,400 of the drones from Iran, a number that overwhelms Ukrainian air defense systems. As of 10am, Ukraine's Air Force claims to have shot down 11 drones.

Klitshchko posted a photo of shrapnel labeled "Geran-2," Russian's designation for the Iranian drones, but he removed the picture after commenters criticized him for confirming a Russian strike.

So I don't know how people on this app feel about the shit-house that is TikTok but in the US right now the ban they're trying to implement on it is a complete red herring and it needs to be stopped.

They are quite literally trying to implement Patriot Act 2.0 with the RESTRICT Act and using TikTok and China to scare the American public into buying into it wholesale when this shit will change the face of the internet. Here are some excerpts from what the bill would cover on the Infrastructure side:

SEC. 5. Considerations.

(a) Priority information and communications technology areas.—In carrying out sections 3 and 4, the Secretary shall prioritize evaluation of— (1) information and communications technology products or services used by a party to a covered transaction in a sector designated as critical infrastructure in Policy Directive 21 (February 12, 2013; relating to critical infrastructure security and resilience);

You read that right, you could be fined up to A MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS for knowingly violating the restrict act, so all those people telling you to "just use a VPN" to keep using TikTok? Guess what? That falls under the criminal guidelines of this bill and they're giving you some horrible fucking advice.

Also, VPN's as a whole, if this bill passes, will take a goddamn nose dive in this country because they are another thing that will be covered in this bill.

They chose the perfect name for it, RESTRICT, because that's what it's going to do to our freedoms in this so called "land of the free".

Please, if you are a United States citizen of voting age reach out to your legislature and tell them you do not want this to pass and you will vote against them in the next primary if it does. This is a make or break moment for you if you're younger. Do not allow your generation to suffer a second Patriot Act like those of us that unfortunately allowed for the first one to happen.

And if you support this, I can only assume you're delusional or a paid shill, either way I hope you rot in whatever hell you believe in.

like im sure not everyone knows exactly how small modern bombs can be (russians use 40 gram ones in ukraine, drone payloads are generally quite small) but i thought everyone knew they get quite small because post 9/11 security theatre involves taking off your shoes because of a guy who snuck in a bomb in his shoe but couldn't light it.

What Is A Gimbal Camera?

A gimbal camera is a specialized camera mounted on a gimbal system, which is a mechanical stabilizer that keeps the camera steady while capturing images or videos. The gimbal's primary job is to counteract any unwanted movement, ensuring smooth and stable footage even when the drone is flying through windy or turbulent conditions. Whether you're a filmmaker, a drone pilot, or just someone who loves capturing the world from above, a gimbal camera is your ticket to silky-smooth visuals.

How Does A Gimbal Camera Work?

A gimbal camera works by using motors and sensors to balance the camera's position, regardless of the drone's movements. It usually operates on three axes: pitch, roll, and yaw. These axes control the camera's tilt, side-to-side motion, and rotation. When the drone shifts, the gimbal's sensors detect the movement and instantly adjust the camera's position to keep it level. This means you get smooth, stable shots without the shakes and jitters that usually come with aerial filming.

Why Use A Gimbal Camera?

Gimbal cameras are a game-changer for anyone serious about aerial photography or videography. Without a gimbal, your footage would be shaky and unusable, especially in high-speed flights or windy conditions. Gimbal cameras ensure your shots are professional-quality, with no wobble or blur. This is especially crucial for tasks like surveying, filmmaking, or capturing stunning landscapes.

The Best Gimbal Camera For Drones

When it comes to picking the best gimbal camera for your drone, you want something reliable, top-notch, and easy to use. TAROT PEEPER BRUSHLESS GIMBAL WITH HD 10X OPTICAL ZOOM CAMERA TL10A00 ticks all these boxes. It’s designed for high performance and delivers stunning visuals every time. Whether you're a pro or just getting started with drone flying, this gimbal camera will elevate your aerial footage to the next level.

I do think that to understand the significance of the Iranian attack on Israel, it is important to look at the new aerial doctrine that has evolved in the theaters of the Russia-Ukraine war.

That is to say, an aerial doctrine that actually focuses much less on manned planes delivering repeat payloads on enemy positions or expensive predator-type drones doing an unmanned version of the same, and on a doctrine of instead using small mid-and short-range drones in huge swarms, each carrying just a single warhead, intended to overwhelm and deplete enemy air defence. This is a tactic that the Russian military presumably borrowed from Iranian advisors when they began buying Shaheds en-masse to be deployed in swarms.

The use of drones in warfare is increasingly less to replace manned aircraft and more to damage and destroy expensive military ground installations and to inflict economic losses upon your enemy through depletion of their ammo stock on drone interceptions, because the drones they're using are very cheap (iirc Shaheds can be as little as 10,000 USD per unit) while interceptor missles are very expensive (as much as 1 million USD per unit) This will be something to pay close attention to going forward

The head of Lebanon's powerful Hezbollah party said on Saturday that its armed wing had used new types of weapons and struck new targets in Israel, and pledged that the front against its sworn enemy would remain active.[...]

On Saturday, in a televised address, he said Hezbollah had shown "a quantitative improvement in the number of operations, the size and the number of targets, as well as an increase in the type of weapons". He said it had used a "Burkan" missile that carries an explosive payload of 300-500 kg, as well as weaponised drones for the first time. Nasrallah said the group had also struck the northern Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona for the first time in retaliation for an Israeli air strike that killed three girls and their grandmother this month.

"This front will remain active," he pledged.

Soon after, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant told troops near the Israel-Lebanon border: "Hezbollah is dragging Lebanon into a war that might happen. "It is making mistakes and ... those who will pay the price are first and foremost Lebanon's citizens. What we are doing in Gaza we can do in Beirut." Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said later on Saturday that fighter jets and artillery struck many Hezbollah targets in response to its fire across the border. Israel also struck Syria in response to rocket launches there, the military said.

One innovation is a newly tested GPS-guided bomb that is very similar to the French AASM Hammer. The Ukrainian high-precision glide bomb can cover a distance of up to 64 km. If Ukraine can establish local production of the new bomb, it can begin to match Russia’s glider bombing campaign.

The new bomb will add to a growing portfolio of Ukrainian-made munitions that includes the Neptune cruise missile, the new Palyanytsya missile drone, and a host of one-way strike drones, including at least two models of unmanned sport aircraft that can fly a thousand km with an explosive payload. By creating its own high-precision military technology, Ukraine frees itself from complete dependence on its allies for the supply and use of these types of weapons.

The head of Ukrainian intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, said that Ukraine is producing unmanned aerial vehicles capable of traveling 1,800 km.

Also, the Armed Forces of Ukraine used an “innovative solution” for attacks on Russian positions using so-calleddragon drones, that drop a thermite mixture on enemy positions.

Russians presented the marine kamikaze drone "Murena-300s".

The new Russian UAV is about the same size as our Magura V5 marine drone.

According to the data, the maximum speed of "Murena-300s" is 83 km, the mass of the payload is 500 kg.

According to preliminary intelligence, this drone is equipped with a Starlink antenna. Naval News drew attention to this. The footage shows that the Starlink antenna on the Murena-300s was hidden with a camouflage net.

Also has a Suzuki motor.
