7 business ideas that require less than $1000 investment

7 business ideas that require less than $1000 investment

1) Dog Walking Business - You can call it walk-a-dog inc. All you need are flyers and of course courage to walk dogs of all sizes and personalities! I remember working at a restaurant and one of our customers started out doing this part-time now this is her full-time gig and she is finding it hard to keep up with the demand. She started by posting up posters and she was in business! Why not give this a try.

2) Home Daycare - Are you a stay at home mom? or are you someone who just wants to work at home so you can spend more time with your kids? Then this is a great business for you. I used to work at a daycare while I was in bible school, the daycare was growing rapidly and had more than 5 employees. The mother started the daycare in her living room and now she is renting out a room in a school. There is a lot of potential for this business.

3) Hobby Lessons - Do you know how to play any instruments? Like piano or guitar? Why not try offering piano lessons or guitar lessons? I used to make an extra $80 a month teaching a one boy for one hour each saturday. That's about $20 an hour. What special talents or skills do you have that someone might want to learn?

4) Start a blog - Are you passionate about a certain topic? Or are you someone who people love listening to and hearing about your stories? Well, why not start a blog? Blogging is a great way to help encourage people and inspire them. But blogging does take persistence, so if this is something you are interested in then create a schedule and keep writing and writing! If your blog does well then you can start adding google adsense, chikita ads, an amazon store, or ebay store, text link ads, or sell your own products or services!

5) Avon - Avon is an amazing company that helps empower women around the world. And that's why I love it so much. My mom sells avon and she makes an extra $100 a month without really trying. This company sells many products like make-up, clothes, perfumes etc. To learn more about avon check out www.avon.com or feel free to comment and I can give you more information.

6) Computer repair - This is a great business as there are so many people who don't know much about computers, like me for example. One boy in college wanted to make extra money each month so he started buying old computers and fixing it up. After a while he was making more than $1000 a month and it became a very lucrative business for him. If you're good with computers then this is a great business for you, why not try buying one computer and starting something like this?

7) Start selling on Ebay - A lot of people succeeded on Ebay, I remember reading a story about a man who started by buying old strollers and then fixing it up and reselling it. He was very successful and predicted to make one million dollars in sales last year alone. What items are lying around your house that you can sell?

So why wait? There are opportunities all around, just keep your eyes and mind open!
