You know what experts sayÖ you'll have to spend money so you
can make money. If this is the concern that has been keeping you
from starting your very own home-based business, then it's time
to consider a few things. First of all, you do have to spend so
you can begin your business venture. However, you do not need a
fortune just to get started. To give you an idea of what you can
accomplish on a budget, here are some low cost home-based
businesses you might be interested in:
Yoga and exercise classes
Yoga remains as one of the most actively practiced health
disciplines. As more and more people recognize the importance of
being fit, they become much more open to the possibilities of an
active lifestyle. This business is also quite flexible ñ you can
schedule your own hours. You can also offer classes not just to
adults but also to teens and young children.
If you're already a fitness buff, you can start informal
classes in your neighborhood for a small fee. You will need a
clean, spacious area in your home, along with a few weights,
probably a wall mirror and some good music. Your clients need
only bring their own mats and you're set. You could also earn
more if you have a fitness certification. This will allow you to
become a personal trainer and charge higher fees.
Event planning and organization
This can be a low cost home-based business as long as you have
the right network of contacts. All you'll need is a brochure, a
computer, a printer and a planner. You'll need to print out your
adverts and promotional materials along with your company
brochure for presentations.
To get clients, ask friends and family for help. Or you could
start by offering a pro bono job for your first client
(preferably a friend or close family member), then ask for
referrals. Always take pictures of the event, get feedback in
writing from satisfied clients and ask permission in case you
wish to use them for testimonials.
Massage therapy
If you have nimble hands and have the right certification, this
is an excellent money-making business you can do part-time or
full-time. You can schedule clients to visit your home for
massages or spa treatments. Just make sure you have a clean,
quiet room in your house that offers privacy and rest. Charge
more if you will be offering your services in clients' homes.
Freelance writing
There are plenty of things you can do as a freelance writer ñ
write and edit resumes, write copy for brochures and promotional
materials, provide assistance in the form of grant writing or
provide content for websites. All you have to do is have a
computer, a reliable Internet connection and a word processing
software. If your clients will need hard copies, you will
probably need a printer and some paper supplies.
You could also start a newsletter of your own and market it to
a niche. Once you have paying subscribers, you'll make a nice
profit in a few months' time.
Tutorial services
This is a perfect home-based business for you if you like
teaching and live near a neighborhood filled with kids and young
people. You could offer tutorials to help them with their school
subjects or teach them new skills and hobbies, such as those
related to arts and crafts. This is a good low cost home-based
business during school season or during summer breaks.
