Some Business Start Up Ideas To Get You Thinking

By Paulette Short


In this economy, there is a lot to be said about starting your own business. More people are being laid off, fired or downsized to less than a full 40 hour week then ever before. Making a list of business start up ideas is the first good idea. Just one or two of these will help you with the monthly bills that still come in.

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.

In the off line world, there are still many things that can generate a couple of dollars. House painting and garage cleaning is still something that people do not really like to do themselves. Gardening are tasks that many people need help with and the roof can use a little cleaning as well. There are many things that can be offered and the assistance these chores provide to others will be well paid for.

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.

Some of the best ideas will come from your own imagination and that of your friends. Set down and create a list of those skills you have and those skills you can obtain fairly easily and quickly. This could include all of the basic jobs and some of the more esoteric ones. Identify what it would take to have the tools, equipment or resources to do each of them and start the process of paring the list down.

That list of ideas will look like a list of things you may need done around your house. When it does, you know you have a list of things that will work in the larger community. Advertising can be done through a newspaper or even in the local Internet review websites. Word of mouth will take up where the electronic media leaves off and, if pursued aggressively, a good income can be generated.

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.
