Start Your Own Business
If the past year has taught us anything it should be that we can not rely on the job market to secure our future. The only way to take control is to start your own home based business.
Now stick around a minute I am not selling anything. This is simply a heartfelt post for those struggling to make ends meet. Ok, now that is out of the way lets look at a few home based businesses you can start with little or no money.
1) Cleaning Homes- This is the perfect home based business because most of the time you have all you will need to start this business right under your kitchen sink. Cleaning supplies, a few rags and a knack for cleaning is all you really need. And sometimes you do not need even that. The key to getting this business off the ground will be in finding clients, and at first this can be rough. Asking around will be your best bet especially if there is no advertising budget. If there is a little money for advertising consider printing flyers and having them inserted in your local paper, you know like wal-mart does?
2) Child Care- This is a home based business that will never go out of style. All you have to have to start this one is the patience of Job and a home. Most of us have the latter, it is the first that is hard to come by. Again word of mouth will be the best way to advertise on a budget, but a few well placed flyers you have printed wont hurt either.
3) Errands- This is a home based business that will go hand in hand with the first. People who do not have time to clean their homes may need assistance with mail and other errands as well. You will need transportation and some organizational skills to pull this off.
That my friends is my top three list for home based businesses you can start with little or no money. I know they are common sense ideas but sometimes that is all we need to make a difference in our lives. None of the above will make you a millionaire, unless you are extremely lucky, but they can provide a second income. Someday they could replace your current job all together. Keep your head up and look around you for the common place ideas for a home based business.
