Your result
Your answers: you have $300 to $500 to start; you have under 5 h a week; you aim for a first milestone within 4 weeks; you’ll message strangers; you prefer working at home, behind your screen; you don’t want to store anything; you like hunting for deals; you accept failed tries.
No business fits your answers perfectly: here are the two closest, and what gets in the way.

You must reach out: without steady outreach, no client arrives on their own.
Budget: CA$0–60 a month (CapCut or free DaVinci Resolve are enough at first).
You must already know something others want to learn, otherwise there is nothing to sell.
Budget: CA$0–30.
Each aspect is worth points: what you like doing 22, time 14, contact 14, budget 12, timing 10, location 10, risk 10, stock 8. “Good fit” earns all of the aspect’s points, “Partial” half, “Watch out” 0.
The score measures how well your answers match what the business demands: it is not a chance of success nor an income forecast.
