Renting BIG Kites
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.

The Back Rubber Franchise
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.

Great American Cookie Franchise
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 Pheasant Farm
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.

Minature Golf Fun Center for a Small Town
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.

Making Money as a DJ
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.

Small Town Store
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!

Custom Shirts, Hats, & Sweaters With Logos
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.

Niche Market - Online Selling
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
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!

ATM 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
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!

Mobile Fair Churro Business
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)!

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
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.
Running A Vending Machine Business
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.
Cleaning Contracts
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.
Renting Out to Pay for your 'Toys'
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.
