  5. Handyman. A handyman (or woman) provides essential services to keep a home running smoothly.

If you can do these things, put your skills to work and make a few bucks helping people improve their home environment.

Good tools are essential to the landscape business. Get a tee shirt and matching cap so you will look like you are ready to work. Pass out fliers in your neighborhood to solicit business.
  8. Laundry Service. Take customers’ dress laundry to the cleaners for them. Get lots of customers, pick up twice a week and deliver twice a week. You can keep down your mileage cost by picking up on a limited amount of days. Busy professional and business people need this service.
  9. Errand Services. Run small errands for people. Grocery purchasing is a good choice, as many people do not like grocery shopping. Single parents and elderly people could use a hand with grocery shopping.
  10. Typing Service. You can start a virtual typing service. Type reports, essays and other important papers people need. Your best choice of clients might be small businesses -- because they have limited staff. You might be able to get a contract with a small business to provide virtual service for them.
  11. Twitter Services. Start a service twittering for business people. Twitter messages reach millions of people. Maintain twitter accounts and their fan base. If you are good with social media and are a quick study connecting with people, think about this fast growing business. Maybe you will tweet for a celebrity one day.
  12. Cooking Service. Cooking is almost a lost art in many homes. If you can cook and provide inviting tasty nutritional full course meals, market your service. Provide a good meal once a week for a family that can stretch for a few days – the family will thank you. Do this for ten families a week, and rake in your earnings.

All of these small business ideas are easy to start; fun to do; and have good potential earnings. Investigate, and dig a little deeper to find your niche business. And by all means, do not let anything hold you back. Someone is waiting for your service.

Well, that is all for now. Feel free to add your thoughts in the comment section.

Great suggestions that do work. A friend was starting a home cleaning business - I suggested she use only 'green' cleaning products - it was a choice that got her a lot of business. Then the cooking service - that has always been popular. My vegan neighbor decided to offer a vegan cooking service (I interviewed her on my hub) and she also did very well. She will create a menu, prepare it then pack it all and bring it to you - or prepare it in your kitchen. Another enterprising woman prepared meals at home and sold them as lunch for co-workers, always more nutritious and half the price of buying lunch out.

Dog walking here in NYC turned into quite a big business.

Thanks for the ideas - I need to branch out and do some more things.
