Starting a Side Business
With the way that today’s economy is running, it is not uncommon to see several family members living in one house to be able to pay the mortgage or rent. Its not uncommon however, to see the car running down the street on only 3 1/2 wheels because you can’t afford the cost of a new car. Better yet, you cant afford the insurance that goes along with it.
Why not start a side business of your own?
You have thought about it many times, just like the rest of us, “how can I get a little bit more money coming into my house so that I don’t have to live paycheck to paycheck and without working 20 hours per day to do so”. To start working a second job is pretty tough. It requires day after day of working job number one to come home, or maybe not coming home, change and report to job number two. Don’t forget that you also need to fit eating and sleeping in there somewhere.
What about a side business?
We all know that it is less likely that you can just quit your current job and jump head first into a new business with out even knowing how successful you may or may not be. So maybe it is a good idea to start a side or part time business that can be operated when you have the time.
Now the only question we have to answer is What type of business is a good idea? The first thing you would have to ask your self is “what do you like to do?” Well, that just opened a can of worms didn’t it? Let’s make it more specific. “What do you like to do that the community can benefit from and pay you for?
What are you into?
There are so many types of jobs that you could do, but here are a few that may spark a fire in your mind.
- Blogging/Vlogging – These days it is so easy to get a good blog out there. Many people will pay for your advice. I cannot stress enough how many people use google, yahoo or any other search engine to get advice on what car to buy or what movie to go see. Writing reviews for up and coming movies can be quite profitable. Plus who can resist the opportunity to go see a free movie before it even comes out to the public?
- Photography/Graphic Design – lets face it, our phones have great cameras these days, and we can take pictures of almost anything. A photographer has more access to the background. The things you don’t even know are going on until the pictures are revealed.
- Online classes or tutorials – Are you a teacher? Would you like to teach people how to make a cake? This may be a great second job for you. Not only would you be able to hold a webinar to teach live classes, but you can offer the people you are targeting an opportunity to purchase the video for their own homes. Maybe you would like to help people get fit. You can start vlogging your personal training secrets and make tons of money just by expressing your opinion.
