Some Business Start Up Ideas To Get You Thinking

By Paulette Short


The economy has created a lot of people who are working less than 40 hours per week than has ever been the case. Many of these people are happy to take the transfer payments that come from Federal or State coffers, however, many more would just as soon be paying their own bills. A majority of these people are looking into business start up ideas to get them busy and earning again.

Some of those ideas have been made more easy to access with the Internet. The ideas that many have had to make money through such programs as affiliate marketing are legend. This is the ability to market and make a commission from products that you do not own. The advertising will often be free or low cost and there are no items to be stocked or postage to be handled.

Providing consulting services are also something that can be offered. The skills you have, whether you are still employed performing them or laid off, can be valuable to other people in similar situations. These could include bookkeeping services or helping people create resumes. All of the personal services such as this can be a money maker for you.

Other ideas will be those old time types jobs. People still need their lawns mowed. People still need to have junk hauled away. There are still houses that need to be painted. Garages and attics and basement still need to be cleaned out and a hard charging person can make a good living doing these tasks.

By using tools that you might already have, you can pursue tasks that will have you repairing things around peoples homes. Those loose shingles can be taken care of quickly. The building of a storage shed can be done as well as replacing a faucet in the kitchen or bathroom. If you have a license for plumbing or electrical work, there are other work that you can offer and the charges will not be as high as the larger companies.

Create a list of those skills you have and which can be used to offer services to others. Write down the resources you will need for each of these ideas and what you need to learn in order to accomplish them. Have a friend or two look over this list and makes some suggestions. Secure the locations for the supplies you will need and look into the advertising you will need.

That list will start to look like something you may have drawn up as a to do list for your own home. When that happens you know it is something that will be good for other people. They will need some of these things done and you have your staring point for making money. The word of mouth, from one to another will serve you well and that is the best kind of advertising.

Some of the most basic business start up ideas will get you worked up about doing something to make you more valuable to everyone you meet. You can use many of the ideas you come up with to create your own wealth. Some of that wealth will be the feeling you have, after a days work, that you are taking care of yourself and all of the monthly bills on our own.
