No one said starting a business was easy, but it is a lot more possible than you might have thought.
1. Child Care
If you are already taking care of your own children at home, it may be worth your while to see what it would take to get licensed as a day care. If you love kids, this may be the route for you.
2. Jewelry Making
If you have always had an easy time coming up with designs for necklaces, earrings and bracelets, its time to see whether other people are willing to pay for your designs.
3. Consultation
If you have had years of experience in a certain industry and you can prove it, your small business may be all about dispensing advice. If you’re tired of giving your advice away for free, this is the job for you.
4. Virtual Personal Assistant
There are plenty of people who would love it if someone reminded them when their bills were due and what they had to take care of. If you can communicate well online and you are good at organisation, this is something for you.
5. Freelance Writer

6. Sewing Clothes
When you love to sew and you are invested in showing off your designs, start making some trendy skirts or tops and vending them online. A small business centered around hip designs is a great way to go.
7. Coder

8. Pet Care
Do you love animals? If you are someone who is invested in good animal care and you have a car, offer to care for other people’s pets. You can restrict the business to cats and dogs, but exotics like birds and reptiles can bring in more money for your small business.
9. Hair Styling
If you have a real knack with hair, offer out your services to weddings or to girls headed to the prom or other formal events. Even a few hours worth of work every week can bring in a fair amount of extra income.
