PART TIME
BUSINESS
Are you
looking to start a Part Time Business while keeping your day job? Want to
operate a side-by-side business along with your current business? Or are you
simply curious about entrepreneurship, and want to test the waters before you
commit to the world of commerce? Whatever your reason, here are some part
time businesses and small business opportunities to get started today
with your own. Part-Time Businesses allow entrepreneurs to "test the
waters" and see if the business is viable while still earning a full-time. Also
most people who start a part time business do so with the objective of
creating a second income. After all, doing spare time business is much
more appealing than working for someone else at someone else's work
place.
Sell
Antiques.
Make new money from old treasures and have fun doing it. Scout garage sales,
estate auctions and flea markets for great buys on antique furniture, toys,
clothing and other treasures from the past. Set up booths at weekend fairs to
sell your antiques.
Tutoring Service. A tutor helps students understand their
school lessons and gain additional knowledge about a subject. The main
requirement is that you know more about the subject than your students. To start
in this business, you can volunteer to tutor others in your primary subjects.
Once you build your resources, books on the subject, etc., ask for referrals
from teachers and other students. You may also distribute brochures to the
parents informing them about your tutoring services.
Telephone Canvassing
Service.
Telephone canvassing is the business of calling people on behalf of a client to
obtain and/or disseminate information. It is valuable service that can be
difficult for businessmen in your area to obtain elsewhere. Canvassing by phone
is a viable alternative to other forms, such as door to door or canvassing by
mail. It is relatively inexpensive (compared to door to door) and has the
advantage of immediate response.
Cleaning Service. If it can get dirty,
chances are someone will be willing to pay you to clean it and that is why few
industries can claim the variety and depth of opportunities that professional
cleaning can. There are two primary market groups - consumer and commercial. It
is you who decides a niche and concentrate on building a business that will
serve your chosen market.
Wallpaper Hanging Skills. Help residential and commercial clients turn
drab walls into works of art with your wallpaper-hanging skills. Build a growing

malls.

organizations and offer your services for a commission on all such "pledges" you
obtain.
Mail Order Business. Mail order business is nothing but doing / conducting
business by mail or post without seeing the customers. It is one of the world�s

can sell other's products, which could include a regular newsletter or any other
items.
Medical Transcription. Work as an important member of a
medical team without leaving your full time job. There is big demand by
hospitals, doctors, dentists and veterinarians who need outside help
transcribing patient's medical records. Training in medical terminology and
linguistic skills will keep your business healthy.
Vending
Business.
Vending gives you an ideal way to ease into your own business. Maintenance is

start part time, working out of your home by placing a few machines in local
businesses. Then, as your customer base increases, invest in more machines and
grow your company as large as you like.
Mystery
Shopping.
Imagine getting paid to shop for new clothes, dine at popular restaurants, watch

services for yourself and your loved ones. The purpose of Mystery Shoppers is to
help businesses increase sales and improve employee customer service awareness.
Consulting Service. Every industry uses consultants. In fact,
businesses spend lots of money to tap into the expertise consultants have to
offer. Chances are, you have got specialized knowledge that entrepreneurs and
individuals would be willing to pay for knowledge that you could turn into a
successful consulting business. But expertise in a specific area is not the only
thing you need. You also need to know how to market yourself, how to bill for
your time, how to plan for taxes and more.
Data
Inputting.
Inputting data is one of the few jobs which can usually be done away from work
premises and with minimal fuss. Data entry is not really the most exciting or
envious job to have and there is usually a chance that companies will outsource
work so that members of the public can work from home; simply using an Internet
connection to download and upload any of their work they contribute
with.

correctly. Spread the word about your physical fitness expertise at health spas,
running, swimming and biking clubs and other athletic
outlets.
Restaurant Delivery Service. Whether it is
macaroni and cheese or a five-course gourmet meal, at-home meal replacement is
fast becoming the newest way to dine. When customers want their restaurant
orders to place, you will be there with your restaurant delivery service. This

Handyman Business. There is big
money in the handyman business. Many home owners hire handyman contractors to
complete odd jobs and minor repairs that they do not have the skills or time to
do themselves. If something is broken, you can fix it. Your phone will ring off
the hook with calls from homeowners, senior citizens and others who do not want
to fix it themselves. Advertise in shopper's publications and on newspapers, and
drop off fliers. Then start repairing everything from leaky faucets to broken
windows.
Resume Writing Service. No special knowledge, education or experience
are required for this business. An awareness of the general format of the modern
resume and the ability to keep oneself up to date on refinements or new
approaches to presenting resume materials are about the only prerequisites to
successfully operate a resume writing service. Probably the most exciting and
motivational aspect of this business idea are the low investment and risk
factors involved and the growing demand for resume service.
Photography. As a photographer, it
is important to first have a portfolio to show what you can do and have done in
the past. While working for newspapers and magazines are the ideal job for most
photographers, showing your portfolio to other places that need photos taken is
always a good idea. Try showing your work to wedding planners so they will hire
you for wedding photography. Or maybe placing an ad to take head shots for
actors, under cutting the competition. If you get a reputation in the wedding or
head shot field, a very good living can be made, allowing you time to do your
own personal photography.
Video Services. This service is growing in popularity
day-by-day. This usually consist of short scenes of important high school events
such as sports, clubs, candid people scenes, still photo montages and other
memorable items for the students. A well edited hour-long video will be able to
be sold upon the editing complexity of the video and the size of the school. The
larger the school, the more you can expect to sell. You should first contact the
school administration with this idea. Put together a good presentation for them,
explaining your services and how your video yearbook will work with the regular
yearbook as an added remembrance.

physical labour, a cleaning and hauling service can be a lot of fun. You can
usually find a few treasures among the trash which most people are delighted to
give away and you can add to your income by recycling bottles, newspapers and
metal castoffs. You will need a pick-up truck or other vehicle capable of
carrying everything from cast-iron sinks to old timbers.
