The only downside to this self employment idea is the fact it can be a tedious process. So let’s say you have merchandise which you would like to sell online, you would then need to take pictures of the merchandise in order to show them to your visitors. Moreover, you would need to to keep track of payments, and shipping and etc. So it is not easy to start. But once you get started, you will get the hang of it.

 

If you have some old items, clothing, perfumes, or anything that you no longer need, and wish to sell. You can definitely gather all the stuff, and start taking pictures of them, and get started with your eBay selling business. You can even check with your friends and family, if they have any items they no longer need, you can use and sell.

 

The best way to start this is to actually start small. So you can join the Buy & Sell groups in your local area (via Facebook or any other social media network), and you can start posting items for sale on there. If you feel like you are actually liking the idea, you can certainly continue off to selling on eBay.

 

You can even sell items on Craigslist or Kijiji in your local area as well.

 

Selling Crafts

 

So if you love to make things, you can definitely take your talents to the next step. You can start an online craft business. So you would make things and take pictures of them, and sell them online. It is similar to selling on eBay, except in this case, you are actually making the products your self.

 

In this case, you can use sites like Etsy to sell your crafts. They make it so easy for you to sell on Etsy. Selling on Etsy is such a great idea, because if people actually love what you make, they will share your products on Pinterest, which will guarantee more and more people will see your product. This will make it easy for you to sell.

 

Dog Walking

 

Pet owners are always in need of someone, who can help them walk their pets for them. Or even sit their pets, if they have something they want to do, and want someone to stay with their pets. So if you like dogs, and you are not afraid of them (I am so afraid of dogs). So you definitely start your dog walking business.

 

What you could do is you could start doing dog walking in you area to start off. And then kind of start to branch out, into other areas. This kind of business will not have a lot of overhead expenses. You can place free advertising online on sites such as Craigslist, or Kijiji, and etc. You can get people know of the kind of service you are willing to offer.

 

ESL Tutoring

 

As you probably already know, more and more foreigners are coming over. So if you are a native English speaker, or fluent in English. You can definitely start your ESL tutoring business. It is not hard at all. The only downside to this idea, the fact that you have to know what kind of lessons you need to teach them. So if you are new to this, you need to get your hands on some guides, or step-by-step manual, which has lessons set out in the book for you to use, and apply with your students.

 

As long as you have a quiet place in your home, which you can use to turn into a tutoring space, you really don’t need anything else. This is something, which you can practice at your own time. So you can set your own schedule with this type of self employment idea. And it doesn’t have much overhead expenses for you to worry about.

Computer Repairing

 

So if you are a good repair, and know how to fix computers, you can be making so much money from this idea. All you have to do first is start with fixing computers for friends and family. This way you will get the word out. And so whenever they hear someone wanting to repair a computer, they will more likely to refer him to you.

But you have to be good at repairing computers. And you have to be on time with fixing. You can even start distributing pamphlets in your local area, and have the type of services and repairs, which you are willing to offer for a certain price.

 

Mobile Phone Repairs

 

A lot of people would rather have their mobile phone repaired, than to have to go and purchase a new one. So if you are really good at fixing mobile phones, you can be totally making lots of money from this.

 

The overhead costs are not as high, because you can start out in your own home, or even your garage. You might need to buy a few things here and there, just to get started, but that’s pretty much all you need.

 

As for advertising, you can post on Facebook groups in your local area, or even use Kijiji or Craigslist, so people can be aware of your mobile repair service.

 

 

Blogging

 

You can start your own blog, by building a website. This self employment idea will not cost you a $100 a month. You probably need about $50 a month to maintain your website at the beginning, and once your site is off to a good start, and you start earning from your blog, you can then try to add features to help you earn even more each month.

 

If blogging is something new to you, and you would like to take on this idea. I highly recommend you search the web , and learn more about how you can start your own blog. There are so many useful articles online, which you can learn so much from (Free). Or if you want, you can certainly join online platforms to learn the idea behind blogging faster. But again, this will cost you around $30-$50 a month for membership fees, and hosting fees. I personally would not recommend it, especially if you can get most (if not all) of that information, if you actually do a web search yourself.

The only overhead costs with this self employment idea is purchasing a camera. And if you already have one, then you really have nothing to worry about.
