Idea #11: Personal Trainer

It's summer and everyone wants to be in good physical shape when hitting the beaches. That's a huge opportunity for someone with lots of knowledge on health because lots of people have no idea how to train themselves or use gym equipment correctly. If you are a regular customer of a local gym, you can ask start off taking people to that gym for a workout. Afterwards you can negotiate cheaper prices for your own clients at the local gym and through that it's a win-win situation for both parties.

Starting off small and making yourself known in the community will automatically bring you more and more customers. According to a study, personal trainers earn an average hourly rate of $60-$70. You could also consider holding group workouts and that could bring you a larger amount of money.

Idea #10: Photographer Rental

Parties and different kinds of events are being organized all the time and most people want their memories from these events to be saved by photographs. The problem is, the partiers don't want anyone to be left out of the picture because of that someone has to take the picture. So, as simple and possibly 'worn out' of an idea it might be, it really could be a successful business.

An important fact in this kind of business is that you have to be very friendly and flexible to keep the customer happy. The whole party could fail if the problematic photographer makes the host/hostess mad...

Idea #9: Labour "recruitment"

There are lots of people unemployed even though most of them could probably find somekind of a job somewhere. Most companies are also ready to hire more employees but their problem is not finding the perfect candidates. Companies might not have the time to look for them and unemployed people don't possibly have the desire and urge to look for a good job.

Starting a web-based program or webpage that gives employers and potential employees the possibility to interact and offer their services in both directions could be a gigantic success because it makes the process on hiring people or getting a job so much easier. People could see online all the available jobs and apply for the ones they choose to. After that the companies choose, based on reported info including for example competence(experience, education etc.), which applicants they wish to interview/hire.

Idea #8: Online Bargains

People are always looking for bargains and especially in the economically hard times such as now, they appreciate help from others to find these benefits. Starting a webpage that informs people of cheap deals and discounts could be a huge success because its target group is practically everyone looking to buy any kind of product.

Someone could think making money off a webpage is hard but actually making your webpage known is much much harder. That means you have to really concentrate on building yourself a strong base of readers who hopefully advertise your page to others. The money making part comes only after this and you can bring in revenue from different kinds of ads on your page or making the content cost a certain amount (per month or just pay once).

Idea #7: Technology Support

There are nearly 2 billion internet users in the world and about 950 million mobile phones were sold only last year. There's bound to be people in need of help with all of their technical devices and, despite there already being lots of companies in this sector, you could use your expertise to help these people.

If you work alone and have no employees, you can attract customers by having little lower prices than your local rivals. This way you have the possibility to build your reputation and find your local customers.

Idea #6: Multi-purpose Furniture

What's a better piece of furniture than one that can be used in many different situations. In general, customers find products with many purposes very interesting and they could bring in a large profit for you. They also give you an opportunity to dream big and come up with your versions of multi-purpose furniture.

Start off with a small amount of test-products so you get a feeling of your target group and its quantity. Then start your own e-shop and later on when you're an accomplished salesperson possibly open a store.

Idea #5: Outsourcing

In the last years outsourcing has become a big deal within the business world. Most of the time outsourcing is more profitable and more easier to do than having your own company do the same thing. That's why there's a big market available if you're able to come up with a good enough idea to do with outsourcing. Here's one:

Start a business that connects companies in need of outsourcing and subcontractors who are willing to do the needed job. Some companies have trouble finding the right subcontractor and your job is to find them the perfect partner to do the job they need to be done. Again, you need to make a name for yourself but in this business model you also have the opportunity to make a name for others and use that for your advantage.
