In today's economy, dual income families are becoming more and
common and necessary, but for many people, the answer to money
woes in the slumping economy is getting a second job to make
ends meet, or "moonlighting." Now, you could go get a second job
where you make next to nothing doing manual labor or retail work
or you could take on a second job that's not only exciting but
could also flourish and grow to the point where you make enough
money to quit your day job and focus on your second one. With a
home based franchise, you'll not only be able to set your own
hours and run your business as a second job, but you'll also be
able to scale and grow your business as you go so that one day,
sooner than you man think, you'll achieve the financial freedom
you've been dreaming about and be able to go from working two
jobs to running one business that's rewarding personally and
financially. If you're interested in taking on a new gig with
the potential to free you financially, consider the Top 5
Franchise Opportunities For Moonlighters.
- HomeTask.com Handyman Services:
Many moonlighters need to be jacks of all trades, being able to
do whatever work is needed for the job at hand. HomeTask.com
shares your handyman's spirit by deploying handymen to jobs all
over your area and building lasting customer relationships,
which are sure to earn you valuable referral business. As a
franchisee, you'll be supported by a world-class team designed
to assist you with training, initial startup and ongoing support
with your business to make sure that you never feel like you
have to figure it all out on your own. If you're ready to
capitalize on this exciting small business opportunity, don't
delay and make the crossover from moonlighter to full-fledged
handyman.
- Caddy Card:
When you're working two jobs, you may find it hard to find time
to get onto the golf course, luckily with a Caddy Card
franchise, you can hang out at the course all day, not playing
hooky, but working. Caddy Card's product is an attractive golf
course guide book complete with scorecard, training aids, course
information and advertisements. Your job as a Caddy Card
franchisee is simply to sell the advertising space on the caddy
card and then literally give them away to local golf courses.
Golfers love Caddy Cards because it provides all the detailed
information they need about the course and lets them track all
of their important information throughout the day. Golf courses
love Caddy Card because it's free for them and it attracts new
players by providing more information about the course and
making the golf course look more professional and attractive.
You'll love Caddy Card because of its low initial investment
($11,800) and its fast return and high income potential.
- The Drug Test Consultant:
Anyone who's worked a few jobs knows the value of a drug test.
These tests not only help the employer to hire mature and
responsible candidates but also serve to protect coworkers from
drug abusers who can be very dangerous to work around in a
variety of jobs. The Drug Test Consultant is among a handful of
cheap franchises that can be bought and up and running for less
than $10,000. As a Drug Test Consultant franchisee, you'll help
employers screen candidates for drug use, perform background
checks and even hair follicle testing. This is a great job for
the moonlighter as the testing can be done on your own schedule
and can pay very well with little time needed each week.
- DVDNow Kiosk:
DVDNow video rental kiosks provide an automated DVD rental
service that can be deployed in grocery, convenience stores, gas
stations, office building or any other high traffic area. By
focusing on the highest demand titles (mainly new releases)
DVDNow kiosks allow you to provide consumers with instant,
automated movie rentals of the titles that people actually want
to see. Imagine coming home to your condo or apartment complex
after work and picking up the latest New Release in the lobby of
your building. The perfect second job, all that's required of
you is to setup the machines, keep them in working order and
collect your money.
- Entech USA Vending:
Forget coffee, today's consumer is proving that there's more
than one way to catch a caffeinated buzz and they've turned the
once humble energy drink market into a whopping $100
billion/year industry with more growth every month. Vending
machines make great low cost franchise opportunities because
they require very little startup money and they make great
business opportunities for moonlighters because after you setup
the machine, the only work left to do is to stock your machines
every week or two and collect your cash. Energy drinks represent
a high profit industry because a 20oz energy drink will sell for
between $2-$3 where the average soda will sell for half the
price, sometimes less. If you've every considered a vending
franchise, choose an energy drink franchise that's all but
guaranteed to outperform a comparable snack or soda machine.
Working multiple jobs is tough, but business opportunities
available at such low startup costs and with such high potential
for profit, getting to financial freedom by working less for
more money is closer than you think. These franchise
opportunities are all designed to benefit not only the seasoned
entrepreneur but also the first time investor/business
professional by guiding you each step of the way and helping you
to build on the triumphs and successes of the franchisor. Take
advantage of what's available and with a small business
franchise, start working smarter, not just working harder.
