Making Money Blogging

This is a Daily Money Maker idea for anybody who likes to write.

People love spending time online and writing to their friends on sites like Facebook. If you were to spend some of your time online blogging, you can actually make quite a bit of money.

What you do is make a blog account with a site like Blogger.com, Wordpress.com, and others and start posting. You post ads on your blog, and when people click on these ads you get paid.

A good advertising program you can integrate with your blog is called Google Adsense. You sign up at Adsense.Google.Com then post ad html codes on your page. When people click on your ads, your account will get credited.

Another great advertising program is Chitika, and is like Google Adsense but isn't as well known. It may take a while, but if you post quality content you are bound to get money.

Renting BIG Kites

This is a Daily Money Makers idea for the entrepreneur looking to make some money for a smaller investment.

Big kites are fun to play with, and would make a great date idea. Since huge kites can be expensive, they are rare to see flying. If you could buy a few of these kites and rent them out, you would make a huge profit. A lot of these big kites take two people to hold them, so it would also be a great group activity.

Since kite prices vary, it's hard to say how much you make from this business. However, you can expect it to do well because big kites are hard to find and you'll have tons of curious customers.

Delivery Service

This is a Daily Money Makers idea for a mom looking to make some extra money for their family.

This is a simple idea. Go to local business and offer your delivery services. You will go to the businesses twice a day and deliver them to the destination. For example, if a mechanic shop needs you to send parts you will place the parts in your car and transport them for a fee.

It doesn't just have to be auto parts. It can be food, mail, dry cleaning, appointments, and even people if the company wanted. Basically, you are their 'secretary on the road'.

The delivery charge will vary because of distance and the weight of the parts, but your prices should be able to support you and your family if you work for enough businesses

The Back Rubber Franchise

This is an idea for just about anybody looking to invest some money for a large return.

When people are shopping around, or are just exploring public places, often they get sore and tired. If these people had a massage chair that they would pay a low fee to massage their back, they would easily pay the fee.

The Back Rubber franchise is a great place to invest your money. They provide everything you need to start the business. You would wait a month then empty the money at the end of the month. The only fees you would have to pay would be the mechanical fees if it broke.

Kid Friendly Romantic Resturaunt

This is a Daily Money Makers idea for an entrepreneur looking to invest in a profitable and fun business.

Parents want to go on romantic dates, but often can't find a trustworthy babysitter. So why not offer these parents a romantic resturaunt experience with babysitting. The kids will be separated from sight and sound of the parents, so the parents don't have to keep an eye on them. If they are feeling anxious however, their kids are only a room away so they can go and check on them.

The kids will want to go too, because the kid section of the resturaunt will be full of fun bounce houses, entertainment, and activities. You can consider slides, climbing walls, ball pits, and fun food such as pizza, hot dogs, chicken nuggests, etc. When the parents want to go on a date, the kids will all want to go to your resturaunt, because it will be enjoyable for both the parents and kids.

Teaching CPR Class

This is a Daily Money Makers idea for a mom looking to make extra money.

CPR training is something that everybody should know because it saves lives. Families will want their children to learn CPR, and parents will want to learn it too in case their kids need it. If you were to start a CPR training course, you could make a lot of money.

First thing's first: You have to be certified to perform CPR. If you don't have this qualification you cannot teach it. Once that's said and done, then you can become a teacher. You can go to a public place and spread out flyers, and post bullitens at stores, churches, etc.

If you were to charge a $10 course fee per person, and you could teach CPR to 15 people a week, that would be $600 a month. You could do 3 sessions a week with 5 people, and that would make you a lot of extra money to pay the bills.

Vehicle Transporter

This is a Daily Money Maker idea for everybody who wants it! You will have to have a good driving record and preferrably no theft charges.

Big Car Dealerships need to move their cars, and they pay big companies hundreds and even thousands to do it for them. If a person in another city or state wants a certain customized vehicle, then the dealership will get it for them. A lot of the ways that dealerships move these cars is by diesel, which is especially costly.

For example, a person wants a vehicle and the dealership finds a vehicle 300 miles away. They want a certain customized truck, but that customized truck was in your city a different state. The two dealerships will usually do a swap, and you will drive one car 300 miles away, and drive the customized truck back.

You will approach a dealership and ask them if they need anybody to deliver or transport vehicles. They will tell you that they already have people doing it for them, tell them you will charge them less, and make sure it is professionally. Hopefully they will accept and you will have a job!

Great American Cookie Franchise

This is a Daily Money Maker idea for just about anybody!

People love sweets. It's a simple fact of the food world. If you were to start a Great American Cookie Franchise, you could be making tons of money.

This is a low-cost franchise that will make you a large profit if you run it correctly. There are stores set up in the mall that have low cost renting space, so you don't have to worry about paying the bills.

Your cookie company will sell not only cookies but cakes, doughs, batter, etc. The best part is, you control the company. You decide the employees, and you are the boss. You won't have to work under anybody anymore!

Running a Pawn Shop

This is an daily money makers idea for an entrepreneur looking to make a larger return for a smaller investment.

Pawn shops can make a lot of money, mainly because their profit margin is high. You buy for low, and sell for high. Businesses thrive off of this business model, so you need to get into it!

You would need a building and people to sell you their items. You would buy their items for a low price, then sell it to people for about double the price. You need to be a good haggler, and you need to know how much you can sell things for. If you buy an item you can't sell, you lose money.

Since pawn shops sell different items, the profits will vary. You can expect to make thousands a month though.

Running an Aerobics Class

Projected Profit:$900-$1200 per month

This is an idea for a stay-at-home mom who knows about fitness and loves helping people.

If you love being fit, you can consider running an aerobics class for money. You can help people lose weight, and they can gain confidence in themselves, and they love support teams.

You can go to a local basketball court or open area and instruct others in aerobics. You would charge $5 per class 3-4 times a week. If you could get 15 people in your class, you would make $900-$1200 per month

Fixing Computers

Projected Profit: $500 a month

This is an idea for an older kid who knows quite a bit about computers. Be sure to ask your parents before using this or any other ideas.

So you're good at computers? Why not make a profit! Computers often get viruses, or need upgrades. By offering your services, you can make a large sum of money.

Running a Sports Camp

Projected Profit: $3750 minus costs

This is an idea for just about anybody.

Since sports are huge, especially in youth, you could run a sports program and make a lot of money. Parents pay hundreds of dollars to send their kid to sports camps, so you could be making a large profit.

Here's some sports camp ideas:

Football
Baseball
Volleyball
Soccer
Tennis
Lacrosse
Golf


If you were to get only 50 attendees a month, and each attendee pays $75 for the program, then you would get $3750. If you did it with another coach, you would split the money between him and you and would have to pay the costs of the camp.

Running a Pheasant Farm

Projected Profit: $6500-$8500 minus food costs.

This is an idea for a kid who loves hunting. Be sure to ask your parents before using this or any other ideas.

If you live on a farm and have property, you can start a pheasant farm. You buy pheasants in the spring and sell them in the fall. You can find pheasants for $1 each. You're going to have to feed these birds for 4-6 months, but then you can sell them for $14-$17 each for male and female.

If you were to raise 500 chicks, you would be making $6500-$8500 minus food costs. If you wanted to raise more chicks, you could take it on.

Bounce House Rentals

This is a Daily Money Makers idea for an entrepreneur.

Bounce house rentals can make you a lot of profit, but only if you have the dedication to run one. You will want to buy 5-10 bounce houses of different sizes to rent out. The cost of the houses depends on the area and how well you negotiate.

You can rent these houses out for $100-$300 for half-day prices. If you could rent out 30 times in the month (which would be extremely easy with good advertising), then you would make $3000-$9000 per month.

Selling G.O.O.B. Goods

Projected Profit:$4800-$4900 a month

This is a Daily Money Maker idea for a mom who wants to make a bit of extra money from home.

Businesses are constantly going out of business. These businesses want to sell as much as possible so they can a small portion of what they had invested. If you can buy G.O.O.B. (Going Out Of Business) goods from these businesses, you can get them for rediculouly cheap. You could buy a pallet of G.O.O.B. goods that would normally cost $10,000 retail price for only $100-$200, simply because these busnesses are desperate and they'd rather sell for dirt cheap then throw it away.

Then you can sell the goods you get from the pallets for up to $5000. That is a HUGE profit. If you could get 1 pallet of G.O.O.B. goods per month, you could make $4800-$4900 a month. We know you could easily get a pallet a week, but 1 pallet a month makes you such a good profit that you would only need 1.

Watering Lawns

Projected Profit:$400 per month

This is a Daily Money Makers idea for kids who want some extra money. Be sure to ask your parents before starting this or any other ideas.

Watering lawns can be a pain for you neighbors, especially if they want to leave for the summer. That's where you come in. If you were to go around your neighborhood watering your neighbors lawns and moving house to house, you can make quite a bit of money. You could charge $10 a week! If you had 10 customers a month, you would be making $400 per month.

Storage Facility Renting

Projected Profit: $17,720 a month 

This is a Daily Money Makers idea for an entrepreneur who has land and some money to invest in building.

Storage facilities can make a big profit, but only if you run them right. The only bill you would have would be power, but only if you wanted to provide lighting in the storage units.

You would start by building 250 units, and vary the sizes of the units from smaller to bigger. You would charge less for the smaller units, and more for the bigger units. If you have additional parking after these are built, you can set aside storage places for RVs, boats, motor homes, cars, and junk.

you would have 30 small units at $40 a month, 100 medium units at $80 a month, 120 bigger units at $120 a month, and 50 stalls to park RVs boats etc. at $20 a month. If you ran your units at 70% capacity, then you would make $17,220 per month.

Cake

This is a Daily Money Maker idea for a mom looking to make some extra cash, and is good at baking and decorating.

Cake decoratorating is on high demand, whether it's for block parties, social events, weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays. The price you charge depends upon you, the size of the cake, and how elaborate you decorate it, but most the money is profit because the ingredients don't take much to buy.

Movie Extra

Projected Profit:$500-$2500

This is a Daily Money Maker idea for just about anybody.

Movie extras are in high demand almost everywhere. If you think about it, there's a lot of extras in a movie, so movies need a lot of extras.

A movie extra's job usually consists of walking in the background, standing and doing something without talking whatsoever. It's an easy job, and usually the studio provides your meals. Movie extras can make anywhere from $50-$250 a day. If you were a movie extra for 10 days of the month (which isn't hard because 1 job can last for weeks sometimes), then you would be making $500-$2500 a month

Carwash

Projected Profit: $200-$400 a month

This is a Maily Money Makers idea for a kid who wants to make a bit of extra money. Be sure to ask your parents before using this or any other of our ideas.

People are always looking to help kids in the neighborhood to make extra money, so almost anybody would pay you to wash their car. All you have to do is tell your friends and neighbors that you will hand-wash their car the way they want you to do it! You would charge $5-$10 per wash, depending on how big the car is and how experienced you are.

If you were to wash 10 cars a week, then you would make $200-$400 a month!

Minature Golf Fun Center for a Small Town

This is a money way for an entrepreneur who wants a big return for a medium investment.

The idea for this business model is to provide ways for people in small towns to have fun. What you would do is find a small town, and rent a building. Then fill this building with a few arcade games, and a miniature golf course.

Then advertise around town before it opens, and have a huge grand opening celebration. This grand opening will determine how many customers you will get later. Be sure to make it extravigent, and to be extremely nice to your customers.

You can make a party room, snack bar, roller skating rink, and possibly even outdoor ice skating for the winter time. All the people in town will be talking about how much fun they had, and soon the word will spread to other towns close by.

Referral Business

This is an money way for a mom looking to help people and make some extra money too!

If you know quite a bit of people, then this is the perfect idea for you. Many people are looking to buy things, and they don't know where to go. If you could get paid by referring these confused people to sellers, then you would be making a lot of money!

Take the real-estate industry for example. If you were selling your house, you would have to give 6% of the sell-value to the relaters. The person bringing the buyer gets 3 percent, and the realtor representing the seller gets 3 percent. Instead of these home-sellers having 2 agents, they could pay you 1% and the agent you're referring customers to will get 5%.

If you were to refer only 1 person a month, and if they bought a $160,000 home, you would make $1600 for that 1 sell. That would be the only work you would have to do for the whole month! This could take you less than 20 minutes!!! This can work for cars, rentals, and jobs too.

Making Money as a DJ

This is a money way for an older teen looking to make some cash on the side.

The entertainment industry is big, and parties are always looking for good DJs to host a great event. If you are into music, and know what songs are popular, you may want to consider being one of these DJs. You will have to have your own equipment, so start out small. Then you can work your way up to larger parties with a larger payout.

Daytime Resturaunt with a Romantic Evening Feeling

This is an money way for an entrepreneur looking to make a lot of cash from a smaller investment.

The idea for this is to create a romantic evening-style resturaunt during lunch hours. Many people don't have the time during the night to take their date to a nice resturaunt. If you were to provide a resturaunt that gives the feeling of a romantic evening, you would make a huge amount of profit.

You would need to first rent out a building. Make sure the building is nice, and has everything needed for a resturaunt. You would then block out the windows so no light shines through. Then, get nice white string lights (such as white christmas lights) and string them back and forth overhead. This will give your customers a fun romantic outdoor atmosphere during lunch hour. The only lights you will need are those white christmas lights. You also will need to black-out the entrance or block it off so light doesn't shine through while people enter. A long hallway would be preferred.

Then you're going to need to hire employees to make the food, and a good chef (if you can't cook well). You can pick your own menu, but try to make the dishes as classy as possible.

Small Town Store

This is an money way for a mom who likes providing for people who can't travel too far.

If you live in a small town and the nearest store is at least 50-100 miles out of the way, then you might want to consider re-selling goods that you purchased in the big city. You can start small, by only picking up goods for a few people.

You can post a list in a public area, where people can write their suggestions on what they want then you can pick up these goods for people. If your spouse works farther away, then he could pick up the goods daily on his way home and it would save you gas money.

Once you get the goods, then sell them for a higher price (20 percent to 50 percent more), and you would make all the profits. If you make enough money from this business, you could even rent out a building and sell from there!

Collecting and Selling Pallets

Projected Profit:$800-$3200

This is an idea for just about anybody.

Collecting pallets from stores and businesses and selling them is good business. Many companies don't have a way to get rid of their pallets, so they have to pay to get them sent to the dump. What a lot of companies don't know is that these pallets can be sold for big bucks.

All you have to do is go around to local stores and businesses and offer to take the pallets off their hands for free. Don't let them know that you get paid for the pallets, because they will just want to sell them.

Depending upon the sizes and condition of the pallets, you can sell them anywhere from $1-$4 each. You will want to sell these to local pallet companies that you can find in the yellowbook. These pallet companies then sell these pallets to trucking distributors. If you were to collect 50 pallets a day, 4 days a week then you can be making anywhere from $800-$3200 a month.

Babysitting Business

This is an idea for a kid looking to make a little extra cash. Make sure to ask your parents before using this or any other.

This idea is simple. Go around your neighborhood and tell them you're starting a new business. You will charge $3 per hour for 1 kid, and $1 extra an hour for each additional kid. If there was a family with 5 kids, the family would pay you $7 per hour for the family of 5.

Here's the fun part! You can then hire workers for your babysitting business, and pay them $2 an hour for the first kid, and $0.50 a kid for each additional kid.

Let's say you were to babysit 3 families with 3 kids, for 5 hours a week each family. After paying your workers, you would get $120 a month for doing nothing!!!

Hauling and Selling Junk Cars

Projected Profit:$3600 a month

This is an idea for an entrepreneur who can afford a flatbed trailer with winch and a hauling vehicle.

People often have cars that don't run laying around their property. They don't have the time or the money to fix them, and they can't find a way to remove them. It would be a great service for these people if you would remove this beat up car for them. If they feel uneasy, you can even offer them $50 for the car. Be sure to get the title for the car, or else you won't be able to sell it to the scrap metal yard. The scrap yard can give up to $300 per vehicle, depending on the weight.

If you were to haul away 3 cars a week that would be about $900 a week, and $3600 a month. Just be sure to get the title!

Custom Shirts, Hats, & Sweaters With Logos

This is a money way for a mom who wants to stay home with her family.

People love customized clothing, but often don't have the time to do it. Go to different businesses, schools, colleges, and other buildings and advertise clothing with a customized logo. Schools and Colleges love to show pride, so these shirts would be a great idea for them.

Once you get the order in, send the custoers logo to a silk screening company and have them apply the logos to the shirts, sweaters, pants, etc. They will do all the work for you, and once they are done you can send them back out to the schools.

The prices depend on the silk screening company so the profits are pretty obscure, but this would be a great way for you to spend your time.

Face Painting

Projected Profits:$100 per month

This is a money way for a kid/teen who wants to make some extra cash. Be sure to ask your parents for there permission before starting this idea.

Kids love face painting, especially when it comes to fun parties and events. Start by telling people in your neighborhood that you offer face painting at parties for a small fee. You could charge $2 per person, and at the end of the party charge the person that hosts the party. For example, if there is 10 kids then charge the host $20.

If you could book 5 parties a month with 10 face paintings, you would make $100 per month.

Mobile Home Park

Projected Profit:$210,000 per month (minus expenses)

This is a money way for an entrepreneur who has some extra land and money to invest.

Mobile home parks are popular places for people to live. Often you'll see quite a few spread throughout town. What most people overlook is the profits that the owners of the park make.

Before you move anybody into the park, you're going to have to develop the land. You have to get power, sewage systems, roads, and water through the park. To make this trailer park really nice, you can also build a club house that has a pool and fun games inside. That way, people will want to move in because the park is higher class.

You're going to want to make room for 500 lots, which is reasonable for a well-positioned park. When people come in, charge the $300 per month to park their home. Mention to your new residents that if they ever decide to leave, you can give them the option of selling their mobile home to you. If you rent out mobile homes to customers, you can rent them out for $600 a month. That would easily make back the price it cost you to buy them.

In 5 years, if you were to rent out 300 lots to mobile home owners, and 200 lots to renters, you would make $210,000 per month minus expenses.

Niche Market - Online Selling

This is a money way for a stay at home mom looking for some extra money to suppliment her income.

There's always a niche market for every major product and catagory. Find what is selling fast, and that's the niche you're going to choose.

You can do some online research from Ebay, Amazon, etc. You can also look in local newspapers and other forms of advertisements. There's a lot of money to be made if you pick the right niche. For example, if you go on Ebay and see that the Nintendo Wii is selling quick for high prices, then you can make tons of money. During Christmas season 2007, Nintendo Wii's were being sold for $1500 or higher each on Ebay, and they only costed $249.99 at the stores. The reason people would pay so much for the Wii is simply because they were all sold out everywhere else.

Of course, the profits you make depend on the product you choose, but if you work fast enough you can make a great amount of money!

Selling Food During School Lunches

Projected Profit:$3000-$4500 per month

This is a money way for anybody who wants to take it on.

You've probably heard kids complain about the terrible taste of school lunches. Often kids will go out to eat, or find food elsewhere. Usually the kids that can't leave campus are left with vending machines and junk food. If you were to pay a small fee to the school, you could set up shop and sell food in a highly populated area!

What you need to do is simple. First talk to the school and ask them if you can set up shop. Don't offer a price at first, because they may just let you sell food for free. If they seem uneasy, then start offering a low amount, and work your way up. You can even offer them a percentage of the profits.

Next you need to buy the type of food you want to sell (burritos, hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, etc). Buy soda pop cans and sall bags of chips. If you buy in bulk, they will cost less. You'll definately need plates and condiments, but you may also want to look into napkins.

For example if you were to sell a hot dog, a drink, and a small bag of chips with the plate and napkin and condients that would cost around $1 depending on where you live. If you were to sell 100 a day at $3-$4 each, you would make $200-$300 a day in pure profit. You could sell them only 15 days a month and make $3000-$4500. That's working only about 15 hours a month!

Sell Drinks & Candy at Parades

Projected Profit:$350 per parade

This is a money way for a kid looking to make a bit of extra money. Be sure to ask your parents permission before using this idea.

Parades are big events with a great amount of people. These people often get hungry or thirsty, and will buy drinks and candy for a good price. Parades are great places to sell, and you can make a large sum of money.

The general idea is simple. Go to a local grocery store and buy a few different types of candy bars, and a small selection of 12 packs or 24 packs of soda pop. You can sell the candy bars for 75 cents more than you bought them. For example, if the candy bar costed $0.75, then you would sell it for $1.50 making 75 cents of pure profit.

Then you can sell the soda pop cans for $0.50-$0.75 more than you bought them for. If you bought a 12 pack for $4.50, then each can cost you about 35 cents each. You could sell them for $1 and make $0.65 profit for 1 soda pop.

At the parade, you could easily sell 250 candy bars and 250 soda pops. That amount would be reasonable because at a parade there is masses and masses of people. The profit for your sales would be $350 dollars

ATM business

This is an idea for an entrepreneur who wants an exponential growth business.



You find yourself out somewhere and you need quick cash, but the nearest bank is far out of the way. If there were an ATM nearby, you could easily withdraw the funds and get on with your day.



An ATM business is a great way to make exponential profits. With the right placement, you can bring in a tremendous income. You don't want them to be too near eachother, as that will be bad for business.



You can start an ATM business easily. You would need an ATM machine, which you can find online from $2000-$6000 each. That may seem pricey now, but they will be paid off within a few months. You may also need to look into protection methods, or else hire a security company to fill the machines for you.



If you were to have 50 people a day use your ATM machine all 30 days in the month, that would be 1500 customers. At charging a $3 convenience, that would be $4500 a month. If you were to have 6 machines following that same projection, you would be making $27000 a month.



If you were to well place these machines and have 100 people come (out of a 30-day month), that is 3000 people of month. With a convenience fee of $3, that would be $9000 a month for that 1 machine. If you had 6 machines following this projection, you would make $54,000 a month.



As you can see, an ATM business is well worth the investment. You would have to take out loans to fill these machines, but the loans would be paid off as people withdraw the money. As it was said above, you may want to look into protection methods/security cameras for your machines.

Balloon Stuffing Business

Projected Profit:$400-$800 per month



This is an idea for a stay at home mom who needs some extra money, and loves spending time on crafts.



Balloon Stuffing is and fun idea that many people will love. Balloon stuffing takes your gift to the next level, and people will really appreciate receiving a balloon stuffed gift.



Balloon stuffing is where a gift such as a teddy bear is placed into a large balloon, and then blown up to a large size. The balloons are clear, so the receiver can clearly see what is inside. They don't have to be clear, however. If you wanted to put a spin on christmas gifts, birthday gifts, etc you can give them a colored balloon that can't be seen through. That way, your gift receiver will have to pop the balloon to see what is inside. Many party-goers will think that balloon stuffing is a great and fun idea, and want to bring one to the next party they go to. Before you know it, your balloon stuffing business will grow to great heights.



What you would have to do is simply buy a balloon stuffing machine, and some balloons to go with it. Usually the balloons will come with the machine, but you need to find a way to get extra supplies. A great way to find the machine and supplies is online. If you were to search Ebay or Amazon, you can find great prices for this wonderful machine.



If you were to charge $5-$10 per balloon stuffing ,and you had 20 a week, you would be making $100-$200 a week, simply by balloon stuffing. Monthly, you would be making a profit of $400-$800, and it wouldn't take too long either!

Pet Wash

Projected Profits:$200-$600



This is an idea for a kid who loves animals. Be sure to ask your parents before starting a pet wash business.



People love it when their pets are clean, but often can't find the time to do it themselves. If you were to provide a pet wash service for these people, they would not only be grateful, but you would make a phenomenal amount of money.



What you need:

• Pet Brush


• Pet Shampoo


• Small pool or bathtub


• Nail Clippers (Optional)


• Scissors (Optional)

Here's how you start the business. Go around your local neighborhood and tell your neighbors you are starting a pet wash business. Those neighbors can either bring their pets over when they need a wash, or else tell their friends and have them bring their pets over.

You would have a great amount of fun doing this, as animals are great companions to play with. If the dog is known to bite, have the customer bring a muzzle, or provide a muzzle on your own. The nail clippers and scissors are an optional add-on if you know how to clip nails and cut animal hair. Do not try to do this if you don't know how, because your customers could get mad at you.

If you were to wash 10-20 pets a month, which would be  easy on on the weekends or during the week. If you charged $20-$30 (depending if you did nail clippings) you can make $200-$600 a month.

Mobile Fair Churro Business

This is for an entrepreneur who wants a great return for a smaller investment.



Carnival and fair events are a great way for people to make money. If you were to start a mobile fair churro business, you can be making a large amount of money. You would need a churro maker, and a deep fryer to cook them in. You can even make creme-filled churros for your mobile fair business, simply to provide a wide variety for your customers. You need a business license to sell, but these are easily attainable from anywhere. Talk to your health inspector also, and make sure your product is safe.



The mobile fair business you make will require you to travel, but the return will be well worth it. The product cost will be low because churros require only a small amount of ingredients, so the profits you make on them are phenomenal. At carnival events, your mobile fair churro business can easily sell 5000 churros for $2-$4 each. For that 1 event, you would make $10,000-$20,000 minus ingredient costs (which aren't that much)!

Mobile Haircuts

This is for a stay-at-home mom with a cosmetology license who wants to make a few extra dollars a month.



Salons are expensive places to keep runnng, so many cosmetologists decide to join somebody else's business or else seek employment elsewhere. Mobile haircuts are a great way to cut the expenses and maximize profit with your own business.



A lot of people would love to get a haircut from the comfort of their own home. Providing a mobile haircuts business would take the stress off your customer's shoulders, simply because they don't have to worry about their kids causing trouble and being obnoxious.



Here's what you would have to get to start your mobile haircuts business:

1. Get your cosmetology license. There are some great courses out there for low prices.


2. Find a great place to buy inexpensive hair product. This will save you money and your customers money. Don't buy hair dye until you know the color your customer wants


3. Transportation of some sort. You need to make sure that your vehicle can get you to your appointments on time.


4. Haircutting supplies such as scissors, shaver, blades, etc


5. The way you advertise would be by word of mouth. You don't want to be going into somebody's house that you do not know. It could be especially dangerous for you while you do your mobile haircuts. You tell your friends, and get them to tell trusted people they know about your business. If your friend trusts them, you can probably trust them too!

For men you can charge $10-$20 for their haircut, and for women you can charge anywhere from $15-$50 depending on the amount of time. If you were to cut 20 men haircuts and 20 women haircuts, you would be making anywhere from $500-$1400 a month, for a little over 1-2 haircuts a day.

Guide Hunting Business

This is an idea for just about anybody who knows a few great hunting spots.

If you love to hunt or fish and you know the 'hot spots', then a hunting business would be great for you! Why not get paid to give out some of your secrets? People across the United States love hunting, and by providing great spots with awesome game your hunting business will soar to levels you can't even imagine.

Here's how you start. Advertise your hunting business locally by putting ads online, the local paper, college boards, and simply by word of mouth. Word of mouth is going to be your biggest seller simply because people who are satisfied with your spots will spread the word to all their friends, and your hunting business will suceed. You can also try posting flyers at local grocery stores, parks, and telephone poles.

Since hunting is so big, you can charge as much as $500-$5000 per person, simply becuase people would want to know the secrets. The better and bigger you get, the profits for your hunting business can even be more than that. If you can find a 'hot spot' that provides great game, and you can show your customers your catches, then they will have more confidence in you. Let's say you catch a trophy elk, and decide to take a picture or even go to a taxidermist and get it stuffed, your customers will be impressed.

If you were to get only 1-2 customers a month, you would make 2 camping trips and make $1,000-$10,000 a month from your hunting business.

Local Bakeries Business

Projected Profit:$400-$600 a month

This is an idea for a kid who wants to make some extra money, and has local bakeries in his/her town. Be sure to ask your parents before using this or any other of our ideas.

People love baked goods, but often don't get the time to bake them at their house, or go out to get them. That's where you come in! If you were to go to local bakeries, and offer to sell their goods for them, they will gladly accept your offer. The local bakeries will give you a great deal for these goods, simply because you will be buying a large amount every week. Who knows? Maybe someday you'll be called the 'bakery kid'

Here's what you have to do. Go to local bakeries, and offer to sell their goods. Ask them if you can have a discount, because you'd be promoting their product and getting them more business. Try to get as low as a price as possible, because the lower you buy the more money you make, and the more customers you will receive due to your prices.

Let's say you were to buy bread, cinnimon rolls, or other treats for $3. If you were to go out and sell these treats for a higher price such as $5-$6, that's where the profits come in. Families wouldn't only buy just 1 either, they would buy your delicious treats and possibly a loaf of bread.

If you could sell 50 treats/loafs a week for $5-$6 each (which would be easy to do in your neighborhood), you would make $100-$150 a week. That's $400-$600 a month, just for reselling food that local bakeries would sell to you!

Pocket Bike Track

This is an idea for an entrepreneur who wants to build a successful and fun business.

You can find a go-cart track anywhere, but pocket bike tracks are especially rare. If you were to set up a pocket bike track in a great location such as a mall parking lot or other shopping center, you could make amazing profits, and have a lot of fun.

What You Need

• 4-8   R32 Interceptor 110cc bikes (as low as $549 each at USA pocket bikes). Some other great models are the X-18, the X-19, and the X-22. Pocket bikes sit between 2.5ft - 3 ft tall, so they're not uncomfortable to ride but are actually quite fun.  
• Chain-link fence panels and possibly hay bales to make the pocket bike track. If your riders wreck, they'll slide into the hay.
• Pads, helmets, and other gear for protection.
• Liability waiver form.
• Checker Flags
• Posters and Decorations
• Business Supplies and filing cabinets for insurance waivers.
• Renting Space
• You might want to check into buying insurance for your pocket bike track.
• $10 per race per person, winner moves to the next race. That's a $70 profit per race.

If you were to set up your pocket bike track from Friday-Saturday, you would be bringing in $7000 a weekend or $28,000 a month for your pocket bike track

Nightcare

Projected Profit:$2160-$3000 per month

This is an idea for a mom who needs a little extra cash.

There are a lot of daycares out there, but it's really hard to find nightcare. Since you will generally be home at night, it's a great idea for you to start up a business. If parents work through the night, or have to leave on vacation or a business trip, they can drop their kids off at your house for night care.

You would have to get your house approved for nightcare, but after that the profits are all yours. If you were to provide nightcare for 5 kids a night, and each kid stayed from roughly 8pm to 8 am, you would be making $180-$300 per night. You could provide nightcare for 3 days a week (12 days a month) and be making $2160-$3600 a month minus food costs and supplies costs.

The Hot Dog Stand at Yard Sales

This is an idea for kids who want to make a little extra money. Make sure you ask your parents before starting this idea.

If your parents or somebody who lives in your neighborhood runs a yard sell, you can consider running the hot dog stand with drinks to sell to people. You would cook the hot dogs on a grill, then sell them to people for profit.

The cost of hot dogs depends on the area, but you would generally charge about $0.50 more than the hot dog costs. The hot dog stand would have to be clean, and you would have to provide either wrapping or paper plates. Buy cups for drinks, or else sell soda cans at the hot dog stand.

Let's say that you were to make $0.50 profit from each hot dog, and $0.25 profit from soda. If you sold 100 hot dogs and 50 soda pops, you would make $62.50 per yard sale.

Running A Vending Machine Business

Projected Profit:$31,200-$46,800 per year

This is an idea for a beginning entrepreneur who wants to start a profitable business.

You see vending machines everywhere, but you never really think about how much money you can actually be making from a vending machine business.

To start up a vending machine business, you need at least $1000-$3000 to buy a new vending machine, or $500-$1500 to buy a used business. You also need to find a prime location where there will be a lot of people. Schools, colleges, malls, shopping centers, public places, swimming pools, etc.

Profits from a vending machine business vary from the size of the machine and where you put it. Your vending machine should hold 45 different selections, and have at least 10-20 of each selection in stock. That single machine will make between $5200-$7800 a year in pure profit.

If you were to invest in 6 machines for a vending machine business, it would cost you about $9000 ($1500 per machine). The profits you would make though would pay for those machines in less than a year. Every year, your annual income from those 6 machines would be $31,200-$46,800. It would be your responsibility to keep the machine stocked, and check out the price for rental space.

Ironing Business

Projected Profit: $1000 a month

This is an idea for a mom who wants to make extra money to support her family.

An ironing business would be a great idea, simply because people don't like ironing shirts. You need an ironing board, a sprayer, and some starch for an optional embellishment.

You would advertise your ironing business online, at local supermarkets, to your friends, at local colleges, and posting up papers on telephone poles. Leave your name and phone number, as well as your address so people can call you and drop off their clothes.

You can charge a certain amount per ironing, such as $0.50 per shirt or per pants. At that price, people would drop off loads of their clothes, and you would have them out and ready for them by the end of the day, or the next business day.

Let's say that you iron 50 pants and 50 shirts at $0.50 each. After doing this day after day, you would get better and faster at it, and it would take less time. If you did this 20 days a month, you would make $1000 per month just working part time hours for your ironing business.

Cleaning Contracts

Projected Profit:$3000-$6000 per month

This is an idea for everybody who wants to try it out.

Getting cleaning contracts is a great way to make money. The best part about cleaning contracts are that the business puts you in charge of the cleaning. What this means is that you are pretty much your own boss.

Cleaning contracts are contracts you make with a business that says that you will keep their building clean for a certain amount of money. Usually they pay you either bi-weekly or monthly. What you are going to do is obtain the cleaning contract, then pay other people to clean the building. That way you're making money by simply managing other people.

For example, you can go to a small office building and offer contract cleaning for $2000 a month. Then hire somebody to clean it for $1000-$1500 a month, and you would make $500-$1000 in profit. The person you hire would do all the cleaning, and all you would have to do is make sure they are doing their job correctly. It's an easy job that you can do straight from your house.

Usually cleaning contracts are easy to find, and the person that cleans does it during the night time. the amount you charge would depend entirely on the size of the building. If you have large buildings, you can charge a higher amount, and hire a few more people to get the job done.

Go to a local businesses, and offer certain amounts for the cleaning contracts. If they tell you that they already have a cleaning contract with somebody else, then offer them $500 less than they already pay. That way you can get the contract, and the business will appreciate your business.

Let's say that you have 6 cleaning contracts, and you make $500-$1000 each contract. You would simply manage the employees, and be making $3000-$6000 a month.

Repairing Bikes

This is an idea for a kid who know or wants to know about repairing bikes. Be sure to ask for your parents permission before using this idea.

People use their bikes a lot, so when they break it can really mess their day up. Some people even rely on their bicycles on transportation, so it's a real pain in the butt when they go out. Repairing bikes can be big business if you know how to do it right.

If repairing bikes is a subject that you don't know much about, look online and read up on it. You'd be amazed about how much information you can get on fixing and repairing bikes. You'll want to go to a search engine such as google and type in something along the lines of "repairing bikes how to".

Once you feel you know enough about repairing bikes, then go to the store and buy some supplies. Some great supplies to buy would be Fix a Flat, flat tire kits, WD-40, tire linings, tire tubes, nuts, bolts, and a few wrenches if your dad or mom doesn't have any.

To start your business repairing bikes, you would first tell your friends. Tell them that you know about repairing bikes, and can do it for a fee. Tell them to tell their friends, and let the information spread by word. You can also tell your neighbors the same thing, and ask them to spread the word too! Making flyers would work well too, but only if they look well done. Ask your mom or dad to help you make them on the computer, and post it at local supermarkets and on poles. It's good to mention that the cost of repairing bikes depends on what's wrong with the bike. The amount of time that you advertise will directly affect how many customers you get.

Once people begin to call, set up a time for them to drop of their bike and begin working on it. The amount you charge on bike repairing depends on how long the bike repair will take, and how much money you have to spend on supplies. It's good to have quite a few flat tire kits, because a lot of the bikes that come in will be simply because of flat tires. If you try hard enough, you can really make bank with this business.

Renting Out to Pay for your 'Toys'

This is an idea for an entrepreneur who wants to buy fun 'toys' and let someone else pay for them by renting out.

If you've ever wanted a toy but couldn't justify paying lots of money for it, then consider renting out the toy to pay for it. By renting out your 4 wheeler, dirt bike, trials bike, flatbed, hydraulic dump trailer, camper, etc. you can pay it off in possibly a year without any money out of your pocket.

The concept of renting something out is simple. All you have to do is put ads in the paper, put ads online (such as ksl or craigslist), and put ads on local bulletin boards. People will see the ads, and call you if they're interested. Once you have a lot of ads posted, renting your 'toy' out will be a piece of cake. After a while, you'll be getting calls every day.

Once you have paid off your 'toy', you should consider renting out another one. You can make a full profit on the first one you bought, and be paying off the second one in half the time. You could repeat this process until you have a great renting out business going in no time. For example, let's say you were renting out a 4 wheeler. The purchase price would depend on the make/model, and the area you live in. If you were renting out this 4 wheeler four times a month for $75 a day with a minimum of 2 days, you would be bringing in $7200 a year. After paying off the 4 wheeler, that's an extra $600 a month by renting out your toy!

Let's look at another example. By renting out a flatbed trailer, you could be making a lot of money. The flatbed trailer would have to be capable of hauling competition vehicles such as rock crawlers, race cars, etc. The purchase for flatbed trailers also depend on the area, but by renting it out you'll make the investment back in no time. If you were to buy a used flatbed trailer, the profits you would make would be phenomenal. Just make sure you buy one in good condition, because you don't want it to break before you've paid for it. If you were renting out the 4 wheeler 4 times a month for 2 days at $65, you would make $6250 in a year.

One last example, let's say you were renting out a camper. You would want to buy a new camper, because the newer it is the more people will want to rent it. Just like before, you would rent out the camper 4 times a month for 2 days each time. At $150 a day, you would be bringing in $14,400 a year just for renting out the camper a few times a month.

As you can see renting out your toy can be not only a good way to get something you want, but also be a great way to start a business. You may want to check out insurance rates before you invest into this idea.

Making Money as an Advertiser

Projected Profit: Up to $2000/month

This is an idea for a mom who wants to possibly make a full income driving a vehicle around

Businesses are always looking for different ways to advertise. Some use billboards, some use newspapers and other texts, and some use the internet. However, the downside to all of these methods are that they aren't mobile. If you were to wrap your car in a business advertisement, the company would pay you big bucks just to drive.

To get started, you must go around to local businesses and offer to advertise using your vehicle. Explain to them the benefits of mobility advertising, and suggest an estimated payment for the services. For wealthy businesses doing well, you can ask for higher amounts such as $2000 a month.

If you can't find local businesses that will accept your offer, do some internet advertising. Visit business forums, marketing forums, and social networking sites. These are surely great sites to do your own advertising. They are free, and will get you great amounts of business.

Once you find a company willing to go through with the deal, then go to a shop who will wrap your car. If the company does not provide a design to put on the car, then have the wrapping company design one and put it on. Send the costs directly to the company you're advertising, and start your driving.

The company will want you to drive around a lot, and even might require you to sign a contract. Since the company will be paying for the fuel costs, you should probably drive around quite a bit. Go to local stores such as WalMart, and drive on the freeway often. City driving also does great, and be sure to park your vehicle in populous places.

Making Money as a pet caretaker helping animals

Projected Profit: $600 a month

This is an idea for a kid who likes helping animals and wants to make some extra money. Be sure to ask your parents before starting this or any other ideas.

Many people out there love helping animals. It's a fun and rewarding job that you can make a lot of money from if you do it right. What you have to do is go around your neighborhood, and tell your neighbors you can watch their animals if they go on vacation, or leave somewhere. Be sure to mention you love helping animals, and that you are very responsible.

Hand out flyers, and make sure you advertise well. Tell your friends to spread the word, and hand out business cards to people you know. On these business cards, write a catchy phrase that goes with your business such as, "helping animals while watching them". Your phrase should catch the customers eyes, and get them to trust you. Put your phone number on the card, and watch as the customers roll in.

Once the customers call, tell them you charge them $1 an hour. That adds up to $24 a day, but don't mention that little secret to your customers, as they may think the price is too steep. Animal-proof your house, not letting any of the animals wander outside without a leash. Be sure to take good care of the animals, follow feeding schedules, and take the animals on walks.

Helping animals cope with their owners leaving can be the tough part. Often animals can become depressed, and not want to do anything. Help the animals by playing with them, and showing them that you can make this fun for them!

If you were to watch only 5 animals for only 5 days, you would make $600 a month.

Scary Maze

Projected Profit: $98,200-$155,200

The Scary Maze idea is for an entrepreneur who wants a big return for a smaller investment.

A scary maze and other thrilling adventures are big business, especially during mid-September and early November. A Scary Maze is rare, which makes it a very popular attraction.

What Your Scary Maze Will Need

• Big Wooden Wire Reels: You can get those for free if you look in the right places
• Pallets: These can also be found for free
• Old Cars: A great junkie car can be priced anywhere from free to $100. Leave this out in the front of your scary maze so people can get a jump while waiting in line. Have somebody pop out and give them the suprise of their life.
• Wood Logs: You can find these for free and spread them around the park.
• Hay Grass Bales: $3 a piece (depending on location). You may use hay bales as a guide through the scary maze, or use ropes. You can also use these as building blocks, and have an employee pop out and scare people.
• Strobe Lights: Put these wherever you want the scary maze to be the scariest. With strobe lights, your employees can pop out without being seen beforehand and scare your customers. Be sure to post a sign about strobe lights warning people with epilepsy about the danger.
• Ropes to keep people in the area. You don't want people leaving the scary maze because if somebody gets hurt or lost, there may be a liability issue.
• Employees ($6-$10 an hour): The number of employees depend upon how big your scary maze is.
• Scary Masks: Have your employees wear these. The glow in the dark masks can also be used as decoration to make your customers think they are surrounded by people.
• Chainless Chainsaws: You want these at the end of the maze. This will be the highlight of your maze that makes people want to come back.
• Clown Suits / Other Costumes: A lot of people are afraid of clowns, so clown costumes are a great choice. You can even give the chainless chainsaw to the clowns for an extra scare. As for other costumes, it's left to your imagination.
• Radio: Have a radio be playing eery music at the scariest part of your maze, or in open areas that have a void that needs to be filled.
• Manikins: These can add a horrific twist to your scary maze, especially if used in strobe light rooms.
• Fake Blood: It wouldn't be a scary without fake blood. You can spread it on your manikins, employees, etc. Let your imagination go wild.
• Scary Signs: You can place scary signs at the beginning, end, and throughout the scary maze to guide them where to go.
• Fog Machine: Use this where you want visibility to be lowered. A great place to put this is in the graveyard.
• Tombs: A graveyard is a great opportunity to take up some unnecissary space. You can have employees pop out and scare people from tombs.
• Skeletons: It wouldn't be scary without skeletons either. Skeletons are a classic Halloween prop, and they're gonna add a great flavor to your maze.
• Witches: These can either be employees in costumes, or they can be hooked to a string and fall from a tree.
• Shacks: A few shacks throughout the maze will fill up space, and give opportunity to scare more people as they enter.
• In the front, a bonfire and concessions to sell hot beverages and food

Use your imagination and find more ideas that would apply to your town.

If you were to have 20 employees working an average of 5 hours a day at $6 an hour for 38 days (2009 calendar), that would cost $22,800. You would spend an additional $50,000(estimation) for the rented field to put the scary maze, props, and materials you need.

Charging $15-$20 per person, and average 300 people per night for 38 days, it would be $171,000-$228,000 in entrance fee sales. That isn't counting the concessions, beverage, and glow stick sales. So total profits for your scary maze will be $98,200-$155,200

Sewing Old to Make New

This is an idea for a stay-at-home mom who is skilled at sewing and has quite a bit of old fabric laying around.

Sewing old fabric to make something new can be a very inexpensive and profitable venture. By sewing old fabrics, you are dramatically cutting the cost of materials needed, and maximizing your profits. Plus, vintage pants, quilts, shirts, hats, shoes, etc are back in style. You don't have to worry about your projects not being able to sell.

Because you are sewing old, you can pick up your fabrics from yard sales, second-hand thift stores, and swap meets.

Great Vintage Sewing Ideas

• Sewing old flowers on alligator clips to be placed on headbands and beanies for babies
• Sewing old fabric to jeans so they have the 'patched-up' look
• Sewing old materials to make a large quilt as a gift.
• Sewing old fleece fabric to make booties for kids
• Sewing old materials to make boots for adults
• Sewing old wool to make warm winter sweaters or hats.
• Sewing old cotton to make a comfortable scarf.
• Sewing old leather to make vintage coats, pants, gloves, etc

As vintage is popular right now, you can sale these items almost anywhere. A great place to list them is online at sites such as Ebay, or Amazon.

Picking up Dog Dung

Projected Profit: $300-$600 a month

This idea is for a kid looking to make extra money doing a job around the neighborhood. Be sure to ask your parents permission before you use this idea.

If picking up dog dung is gross to you, then it's probably gross to a lot of other people too. Since people don't like to do it themselves, you can do it for them! There's a lot of money to be made doing this.

You can go to the store and buy a Poop Scooper, so you don't have to pick them all up by hand. It doesn't take long to go around someone's yard. You would go door to door, and ask your neighbors if you can pick up there dog dung for a small fee each week.

If you were to get 15 customers and charge them $5-$10 a week, you would be getting an extra $300-$600 a month. That's just for picking up dung! Make sure you wear protective gloves though.

Mall Day-Care Center

This is for an entrepreneur who has money to invest in a business.

Moms and Dads need time to themselves, especially when they are out at fun places. Those fun places can be malls, resturaunts, movie theatres, etc. When mom and dad want to go on a date, it's hard to find places that can take care of their children. If they could simply drop them off at a convenient daycare center, they would be able to have that special time alone.

This is what your business would be about. You rent a store in a mall, or somewhere popular. You childproof this place, hire employees, buy toys and dress-up clothes, and have a cash sregister that can swipe credit cards and debit cards. This store is going to be a place where parents can drop off their children for a while while they go on a date to dinner, shopping, a movie, etc.

Your employees must be nice, and preferrably older. It will be hard for parents to trust their precious children with teenagers. When the parents come in, introduce the facility, your employees, and the number of activities your children would be participating in. Once the parent has paid be sure to take their picture, and attach it to their child. That way you aren't giving away their child to somebody else.

Your facility must also be approved by a childcare safety inspector (check with your state), and you should have the parents sign an injury waiver so you aren't held responsible for anything. Depending on what you charge, this could be a booming business.

Making Money Teaching Cooking Lessons

Projected Profit: $600-$800 (minus ingredient expenses)

This idea is for a stay-at-home mom, who is skilled in cooking and has some extra time on her hands.

People want to learn to cook. Especially people who just got married, and moms who just had their first child. That's where you come in! You can teach cooking classes for a fee, to help people learn to cook.

When you first start, you find a recipe that is easy to make. Have everybody help prepare the food, putting emphasis on technique and giving tips. Be sure to compliment your customers, as well as give constructive critisism.

As for advertising, post advertisements at local stores, collages, bullitin boards, and online. Leave your name, number, and address. Once the customers call, set up a date and charge them the fee.

If you were to get 10 customers at $15-$20 per week (1 lesson a week), you would make $600-$800 dollars a month minus ingredient expenses.

Making Money as a Tutor

Projected Profit: $200-$400 per month

This is for a kid who wants to help people, and make some extra cash on the side. Be sure to ask a parent for permission.

Are you talented in a certain area (skateboarding, math, science, piano, acting, drums, guitar, singing, etc). People will pay you to teach them these things. All you have to do is tell people that you will tutor them, and post up signs around the neighboorhood and at public places (stores, parks, malls, bulletin boards). Leave your name and number, and soon enough people will start calling.

You can have the people pay you hourly ($5-$10/hr), or pay you per visit ($10-$15 per visit). You would prepare lessons, and have them learn at a rate that is suitable for them.

If you were to get 5 customers at 2 hrs per week, you would make $200-$400 in a month.

Making Money as a Beekeeper

This is an idea for an entrepreneur who wants a large return for some time and a small investement.

There's been quite a bit of buzz concerning bees in the past few years. Honey bees, which produce honey, are dying out due to what is being called Colonial Collapse Disorder (CCD). There are a number of theories  to what causes CCD, but the exact cause is unknown. Since bees pollinate a very large percentage of our crops, if they all die out it will cause problems.

Lucky for us entrepreneurs, this emergency can make us money, as well as help the out the world. If you were to be a beekeeper and manage beehives, the profits you would gain would be enormous. You can sell honeyand bees for extremely high prices compared to what they used to be.

What You Need

• Hive Bodies
• Frames
• Bottom Board
• Entrance Reducer
• Hive Outer Cover
• Hive Inner Cover
• Feeder
• Varroa Screen/Monitoring Tray
• Hard Plastic Helmet
• Round Tie-down Veil
• Stainless Steel Smoker with Heat Shield
• Hive Tool
• Gloves

We won't get into the technicalities here, as they are tedious and would take a long time.

A buddy of mine is a beekeeper, and his income per year is $800,000. That's nowhere near the limit either. If you were to manage larger amounts of hives, you could be making more than that. Be sure to check your local beekeeping laws, as some places don't permit beekeeping.

Making Money Selling Online

This is idea for the stay-at-home mom who has a little extra time on her hands.

The internet selling industry is big. Many people make a great living off of it, and it's a wonderful way to make an income. So often it's hard to sell things locally, so people advertise their items online and customers from around the world buy.

The key to making money online is selling your item at a higher price than you bought it for. If you buy something for dirt cheap and sell it at a fair price, the profit you make from the sell could be enormous.

But the big question is: 'Where can I buy something for cheap, and sell it for more?'. It's simple! Go to thrift stores, yard sales, police auctions, newspaper ads, store sales, out of business blowouts, etc. One of the best places to buy things for cheap is a storage unit auction. If somebody rents the storage unit and fails to pay, then their possessions get sold at auctions to get the money back. Most everything sold is extraordinarily inexpensive.

Another awesome place to buy is online. You can find good deals for anything online. A lot of internet sellers buy online, then sell online for a higher price. Often sellers will ask for a low price because they need the money, and you can buy it at an insanely low price.

Where are you going to sell the product though? There's many websites on the internet that allow you to sell your product online. The most popular is Ebay (http://www.ebay.com). For quick payment you set up a Paypal account and people can effortlessly pay you online with their credit or debit card.

A few other great websites are Amazon (http://www.amazon.com) and Craigslist (http://www.craigslist.org).

Selling online can take a lot of work, but the effort you put into it will determine the amount you earn!

Making Money as a Valentines Delivery Person

Projected Profit: $150-$300

This idea is for a kid. Make sure to ask your parents permission before trying this or any other ideas.

As Valentines Day comes around, many people want to send secret admirer letters to somebody they fancy, but often can't find anybody up to it. This is where you come in! You'll take their letters, candies, cards, flowers, etc to the giftee, and charge anywhere from $10-$20 per person.

Tell your friends and family about it, and you'll see how fast it spreads. Ask some acquaintances if they know anybody who needs it done, and you can even hang up papers. If you were to get only 15 customers you'd make $150-$300 dollars, just for being a delivery boy. When it's love, people get desperate so you don't have to worry about finding customers!

Bed and Breakfast

Projected Profit:$1000-$4000/month

This is for the stay-at home mom living near a tourist attraction, and has a spare unused bedroom in the house.

Bed and Breakfast's are convinient in tourist towns, especially when all the hotels are booked. People are looking for a place to stay, and you're the one to provide it for them. The idea is simple: Open a room in your house to tourists looking for a place to stay. There's big money involved in this, because most likely the hotels are booked and you can charge a high price for your services.

Be sure to provide them with their own bathroom to wash up in, towels, soap, and of course breakfast in the morning. Provide great service, offering to carry their bags to their room, and telling them to call you if they need anything, and make a delicious breakfast in the morning. It may sound tedious, but when you make your customer feel at home, your bed and breakfast will become popular.

You're going to need to wash the sheets after every guest, and clean up after they have left. Make sure you put signs all through town advertising your bed and breakfast, and giving a phone number to call you. If a tourist sees this advertisement, they will call you!

Let's say that you took in 10 tourists a month. You would charge them $100-$400 for the night (which is reasonable for what you're offering). The profit behind that would be $1000-$4000 a month, just for taking in people a few times a month. It's a great way to make an income, and you may even be able to live off that!

Dodgeball Tournament

Projected Profit: $10,000 per tournament

This is for the entrepreneur looking for a small investment, and a large payout.

There's a lot of money to be made in sports tournaments. This area gives great ways to make a lot of money. One of those ways is hosting a tournament, namely a dodgeball tournament.

Things You Need

• Trophy
• Shirts for the winning teams
• Location to play
• Advertising contacts
• Dodgeball equipment
• $1000

Use the $1000 to buy the trophy, winning team's shirts, and equipment. Any extra can be used in advertising. The more advertising you do for this event, the more teams that will sign up. You can charge an entrance fee to the game, but keep the price low. As this is not a well known tournament, people won't come if the price is set too high.

Go around to local companies and see if they'll pay you for advertisements. Tell them you'll tie up a banner, announce their company, place their logo in a great spot, etc. You can also invite vendors to sell their product at these games. Charge a vendor $100-$400, depending on the expected number of visitors. ach team $300 dollars to sign up, and be sure to mention it's non-refundable. Also

Each team pays $300 to sign up, and be sure to mention it's non-refundable. You can expect 30-40 signups in a well-advertised tournament, so the payout would be around $10,000. You would have to pay for rental space, referees, and other costs but these will be easily covered by ticket sales, vendor sign-ups, and company advertisements. It won't make you rich, but you'll be wealthier!

Themed Parties (for teens)

Projected Profit: $300-$700/month (5 parties per month)

This is for the older teen looking to make some extra money. The startup cost for this idea would be around $50-$150. 

Parents are always looking for fun entertainment for their children. Most would pay top dollar to see the excitement in their children's eyes. That's where you come in! You can make good money hosting themed dress up parties for children at their own house, or at a public park.

What You Need

• At least 10-15 costumes that fit one theme. You can buy these at the store for $5-$10 each, or else make them at home. Some great costumes would be animals, prince/princess, pirates, ghouls and goblins, Barbies, Transformers, superheroes, etc.
• Transportation to and from the customer's house or destination.
• Gift Bags which consists of a couple of small items in each bag.
• A well-made costume for yourself.
• A Good Attitude

You would spend a small amount of money before each party on the gift bags. The total amount spent should be $10-$15. When you arrive at the house, you will have a schedule that you have called and discussed with the parents. Some good filler activities would be teaching a themed song/dance, picture taking, fun games, movie clips, etc. The extent of the party should last about an hour.

A good charge for each party would be $75-$150, to cover materials charges and your pay. You can either pocket the money, or buy costumes for more themed parties.

Child Transportation

Projected Profit: $800 a month

This is for the stay-at-home moms who have a suburban, van, or other multi-passenger vehicle.

Parents are busy people. They have work and errands to run. Their kids often lose opportunities for extra-curricular activities and programs because of the tight schedule. If these children could find transportation to their sports activities, after school programs, and other extra-curricular activities, it would save the parents a whole lot of time and disappointment. 

That's where you come in. With your multi-passenger vehicle, you could transport the children for a fee (much like a taxi). There would be a fixed rate, and your customers would be consistant. You'd have to build trust with the parents though. Try starting with parents you know, then expand your business to others with advertising and word of mouth.

To get unaquainted parents to trust you, you're going to have to provide amazing references. Provide past customers, and trusted people that know you well. Provide a list of these numbers, with names, e-mail addresses, etc. That way the new customers aren't left with only a few options, and can get a widespread opinion about you and your services.

If you were to charge $10 a kid, 4 days a week, that's $160 a kid per month. Say you have 5 kids, that's $800 extra dollars a month.

Making Money with an Indoor Surf and Skate Entertainment Plaza

Projected Profit: $80,000 per week (surf machines 50% capacity) plus food sales, shop rentals, skate park, fish pond, and skate shop profits.

This is for an entrepreneur who wants a big return for a big investment.

Suggested items

• 2-Double Rider Surf Machines (2 riders per machine) [4000 square ft]
• Indoor Skate Park next to the surf machines [4000 square ft]
• Store-front boardwalk that can handle ten to twenty 10x10 bamboo hut stores. Those stores can be rented out to local vendors that sell clothes, sunglasses, shoes, food, skateboards, surf boards, souvenirs, etc.
• Employees who can teach others how to skate

other suggestions

• By the surf machines and skate park, set up a bistro to sell food.
• Throughout the indoor park, put tables with bamboo umbrellas.
• Build a 10x20 pond with sand at the bottom. Fill with water, and put fish, turtles, and frogs that kids can catch for a small price.
• Fill the Whole park with sand, and fake palm trees (that look real). Put hammocks between some of the trees so people can lounge (hammocks will be considered the benches of the park).
• Daily surf lessons and wake board lessons (weld a bar in front of the machine).
• Provide a big anchor skate shop that provides 'try before you buy' demo boards.
• Beach Volleyball on the sand.
• Movie at the Beach.

1 surf machine at full capacity can bring in $80,000 a week. At 50% capacity, both machines will bring in $80000 a week. That doesn't include the bistro, the bamboo shopts, the skate park, and the fish pond.

As for the how to skate and how to surf lessons, you can either set up specific days (see example below), or provide how to skate and how to surf lessons every day. How to skate lessons are going to be the most popular, because more people want to learn how to skate depending on where you are. Also, depending on your employee's time allocation, you can also set up how to skate and how to surf private lessons.

Monday: How to Skate

Tuesday: How to Surf and How to Skate

Wednesday: Volleyball Lessons at Volleyball Court and How To Skate

Thursday: How to Surf or How to Skate

Friday: How to Skate and How to Boogie Board

Saturday: How to Skate and How to Wake Board (Surf Machine)

Sunday: Open Buffet and Lessons on How to Skate

You can also sell videos on how to skate at your skate shop so people can get comfortable before their lessons.

Overall investment: Research depending upon location

Making Money Raffling a Building, Home, Resturaunt, or store.

This is for an adult or entrepreneur who plans on selling your home, resturaunt, store, or building you own.


You need to advertise this big time. That would be in newspapers, locally, and especially online. Online is where most the tickets will come from. If you set up a paypal account, entrees will be able to pay with a credit card or debit card online. You're going to want to advertise this before the raffle, during the raffle, and after the raffle.

You can raffle tickets for $20 each (who wouldn't buy a house for $20). If you advertise well enough, you could easily sell 20,000 raffle tickets ($400,000 for you're house). On your website, say that if you don't sell 'x' number of raffle tickets, the money will be returned to the the buyers.
