1. Lawn care items. $20 biz cards at Kinko's, $10 dot com at GoDaddy.com, free blog at wordpress.com or blogger.com as "site". Knock on 30 doors a day, 6 will say yes. Charge $50 per home to say clean gutters, takes 1 hour. 6 jobs per day, 5 days per week, after expenses, after taxes, take home of $1000.
2. Delivery service for old folks home. Many don't take the bus out to the store and many don't have family who visit often. They need socks, rolaids, TV guide, crossword puzzles, etc. No med's as that is taken care of by the home. Go door to door in the home offering the service. Take list of items wanted. Hit say 30 doors and get orders, head to store. Pick up all needed, come back, divided into bags per room with price sheet. Hand back to person with bill, cost of items, tax + 10 or 15% delivery charge. If they get only $20 in items, that is $2 in charge. $2 x 30 rooms = $60. 1 hour talking, 1 hour shopping, 1 hour delivery. Not including gas, taxes, that is $20 per hour gross pay. For doing nothing more than taking care of the elderly.
3. own land? find and buy some worthless building land in the country on the side of town, say 10-20 acres, cheap. Fence it off, put up a pre-made simple shed/barn. Have a well put in. Now offer horse boarding. 1 horse per acre on average, average rate is $2-$400 per month. 10 acres = 10 horses x $300 = $3000 per month. For what? $200 land mortgage, free well water, free pasture grass (maybe buy some hay bales for winter), electric for lights and well, say $40. Thats well over $500 a wk for just making sure 10 horses had water and the shed was cleaned out. Not a barn, but more of a 3 walled shed that they can go under during rain/snow. Barn, stalls, stable you charge higher prices for boarding.
4. a soy candle company. make natural pure soy candles, few sizes, nothing fancy, keep it simple. Say 22oz candle sell for $14.95 yet only costs around $5 to make. Thats $10 profit per candle. Sell just 10 per day via web site, ebay, craigslist, flea markets, local hallmark stores, etc and you make easy $100 per day. You can find natural soy wax in 50lb box form in flakes. Just melt, add scent, pour in container, add wick, let cool, sticker, box, ship, sold. Being pure soy, you can also sell to churches as they must use natural candles (hint).
5. if either of you are good at drawing, specially on walls, boards. Car dealers, fast food joints, and others actually pay people good money to come and paint marker their front windows for sales, specials, hiring, etc. Just look around, you'll see them. Normally they are signed by who does them at the bottom. Check some of them out and see what they do. Normally teen girls are good at drawing big w/ markers n such. Not sure of the money but being ex-fast food upper mgt, I'd say a Taco Bell that had 3 windows done it would run $200 and be about $20 in paint and I'd guess 4 hours. $40'ish an hour to draw on windows? Can't say thats bad.
Money is all around in front of you... just a matter of seeing it and NOT using a want ad's. |
