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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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
