1. Sports Coaching and Training

Being a sports coach or a personal trainer could be a great way to make money. You will need to find your field of expertise and hone your skills before you get those clients. Also, it would be best if you researched to find out if there are any licensing requirements for the field you want to pursue.

If you like to stay fit and after you have honed your skills and completed your research, this could be a dream job for you. People are always looking for help in their quest to get in shape. Parents are also willing to pay people to help their kids to become better athletes.

 Keep in mind that there are many people already in this type of work. If you desire to have a profitable business in coaching and training, you will have to market yourself and highlight the services you offer.

2. Makeup Consulting

If you have a knack for beauty and fashion trends, makeup consulting could be your dream job. It doesn’t take a lot of formal training to be a makeup consultant, but it does require attention to detail. You must also have patience and be a personable person for this line of work.

Weddings are an excellent job for a makeup consultant. Everyone will want to look their best. Funeral homes also hire people as makeup consultants. Parents could even hire you to paint pretty butterflies and whatnot on kids’ faces at parties.

Market yourself and get your name out there. Once you get some clients, you will continue to build your customer base.

3. Research/Fact-Checking

While Google answers questions, it doesn’t provide all the solutions. Media companies are willing to pay people to do research and to check facts. So if you like to do research, this could be for you. Just keep in mind that if you are going to do research, you need to be prepared to spend a lot of time in front of the computer screen.

4. Personalization

There is just something more personal about personalization. Many people buy gifts and then decide that they want them personalized with a name or initials. Personalizing is much like making gifts for people and selling them instead; you are personalizing these gifts.

Parents love to have things personalized for their children. Women also like to have items personalized for themselves, such as purses or tumblers. Just be creative with the things you are willing to personalize, and you will likely get repeat customers.

Make an excellent website and showcase an array of items that you personalize. Also, advertise on social media and to your friends. You may be surprised at how many acquaintances would like your service.

5. Pet Sitting

It is no secret that people love their pets. It is also no secret that people are willing to spend money on their pets. If you like animals and are eager to watch them for people, you can make some cash. My daughter did this when she was in high school and earned a considerable amount of money. She didn’t even advertise. People knew she liked animals and asked her to watch their pets while they were away.

Just think how much business you could get only by asking people you already know if they need you to watch their pet. If you do a good job, you will get repeat customers.

Pet sitting usually involves going to the person’s house to check on their pet, but sometimes it involves staying in the person’s house the whole time they are gone. It is kind of like home-sitting and taking care of a pet. The great thing about it is that you work out the arrangements that work for you.

6. Speaking and Presentation Coaching

Many people are terrified to speak in front of an audience. You would be surprised at the number of people willing to pay someone to help them become better speakers or presenters.

Being a speaking and presenting coach requires some experience. But, if you have a radio or TV background, this may be the business for you. Communication majors and public speakers would also be great at starting a business like this. The first thing you will want to invest in is some audio and video equipment. It doesn’t have to be top-of-the-line, but you will want to show them a video of themselves when you offer them feedback.

You will have to market yourself to obtain clients. You will want to advertise on college campuses as well as online. Just get yourself out there and start coaching.

7. Party Planning

If you a good at throwing lavish parties, then party planning may be for you. A few other qualities of good party planners are organizational skills and attention to detail.

Children’s birthday parties are a great way to get into party planning. If you do a great job, you will get repeat business. Parents have lots of parties for their children, and if you delight them, they will hire you for them all. Another great thing about party planning is that you can build your customer base while working at a party which is a win-win.

8. Catering Service

A catering service can be a great source of income, but you will have to do your research before cooking. You will first need to find out if it is legal for you to have a catering service in your state. You will also need to research the health department regulations for a catering service.

If everything checks out and you can start a catering service, you can do so relatively cheaply. One way to do this is to cook in people’s homes. You will meet with the client, buy the ingredients, and take your cooking utensils. A great thing about cooking in people’s homes is that you will be there if anyone wants to hire you for their next event.

9. Car Resale

If you know a little or a lot about cars, you can resale them. You don’t have to wear a blazer to sell a vehicle. The facts are that people get rid of excellent cars every day. And, people need to buy affordable used cars daily. That is where you can come in. You can offer a product that people need and make a pretty good profit.

You will have to do your research. You don’t want to buy cars that no one wants to buy. First, you will want to find out what used cars are popular. Then you can look through the classified or online to find those cars. Last, you will have to advertise. You will have to find the people who are looking for the vehicles that you have for sale. You will also have to figure out how much you need to make off the vehicle your desired profit.

10. Personal Shopper

If you like to shop, this one can be great for you. More and more people are hiring people to shop for them. Being a personal shopper will require you to advertise and build up a customer base. Once you build up a customer base, you will be surprised how much your happy customers can help your business grow. They will tell their friends about you and, bam, new customers. Always remember that it is of utmost importance to please your customers.

11. Craft Creation

Are you crafty? People love crafts, which is good news. But, a lot of people are talented and sell crafts. The key to successfully selling them is to pick a skill that you are good at and market it. Instead of selling lots of crafts, hone in on a segment of arts and perfect those. You can go to farmers’ markets, and sell on Etsy; the possibilities are endless.

12. Podcasting

Everyone wants to make money podcasting. While this is good, not everyone is going to make money podcasting. There are already a considerable amount of podcasters. I don’t say this to discourage you. I want you to know that if you’re going to make money from podcasting, you will have to be creative to obtain subscribers.

Keep in mind that one of the most important things to do as a podcaster is to get your listeners to engage. You want them on your social media and your website. Their comments and likes are essential to the success of your podcast. While making money, podcasting doesn’t come easy. It does happen, and it could happen for you if you are willing to jump in and put yourself out there.

13. Home Day Care

Do you like kids? If your answer is yes, then a home-based daycare could be a great home-based business for you. This venture will require you to do some research. You will want to research zoning laws in your neighborhood before you even get started.

You will also want to think about safety. You will want to get certified in CPR. Once you have checked all the requirements, you can start advertising all around your town for potential clients.

14. Airbnb Hosting

If you have not heard of Airbnb, it is a website that has an array of rooms, homes, apartments, cabins, and the list goes on and on. Airbnb is literally a home-based business, and if you are able and willing to rent out all of your home or even some of your home, you could make a high income on the site.

If you want to be successful on Airbnb, you must sell an experience; You must also make your property look great with excellent pictures. Doing these things will make your place stand out. Offering reasonable prices and an ideal stay for your guest could earn you big bucks.

Remember that any home-based business will only be successful if you are willing to make it successful. So be creative, pursue what you love, and follow your dreams.
