Best Home Businesses You Can Start for Less than $2,500
There’s this myth - sort of like big foot, only much more widely believed, and a much greater cause for concern. This myth is so popular that nearly everyone in the US believes it to be true… do you want to know what it is?
Starting a Business Costs Gobs of Cash
It’s true; that’s the myth that most people believe. It’s completely false… you can start your own home business, working from your office, living room, or kitchen table, and make enough money to support yourself, your family, save, and live the life you want.
And you don’t need any more than $2,500 to start up any one of these impressive, money making businesses… interested in breaking out of the myth, and learning to live with the truth?
Home Cleaning
You would be shocked at the growing need for people to clean the home and help organize. No matter what area you live in, or the economy that’s there, with a little dedication you’ll be able to make a hefty business!
The basics that you’ll need are simple. To start, you’ll need a small sum for advertising - you can print out your own flyers and brochures on sturdy, professional grade paper. A reliable car to get to and from clients homes is also important, but you’ll probably already have that!
You’ll also need cleaning, and organizing, basics. A vacuum, Windex, heavy paper towels, etc - the basics are all you need, of course. This shouldn’t be more than $1,000 new, but chances are you might have a lot of it already.
And that’s about it! You have your very own home cleaning business, and you’re ready to compete with the big boys. Optionally, you can have a website - $20 a month for the domain name, and you can use a pre-made, completely free template online.
Nothing to it!
Personal Shopping Home Business
Love shopping? Who doesn’t! You wouldn’t believe how inexpensive it would be to start a personal shopping business, too!
All you need is a reliable car, and money up front to pay for various items for clients, plus a small sum for advertising - but again, you can just print that from home!
Total start up cost shouldn’t be more than $1,000, and you can do it part or full time!
Consulting Business
Are you a pro in your field? It could be writing… marketing… even bridal issues! If you’re a professional, you can have a consulting business, and you would be shocked at how little money you need to start one up.
The first thing you’re going to need is a website. You’ll probably pay about $20 a month for the domain name, and then you’ll either have to create your own, or hire someone else. Modifying an existing free template is easy, but if you have no idea on how, it might be best to hire someone - which can range from $200-$1,200 or more, depending on the complexity.
You can find freelancers to craft your website, and write the content, on www.Elance.com, www.iFreelance.com, and others. Just remember that you’re paying real people, and expecting them to work for little to nothing is silly!
Drumming up business can take some marketing - so expect about $200-$400 before the clients start to roll in. That’s still under $2,000 for a very profitable business.
Desktop Publishing
If you have a knack for creative things, and know how to use a computer, you’ll have no trouble making an impressive income with desktop publishing.
You probably have the software you need, and then all you have to do is set up a website - $50 a month, at most - and some high quality paper for flyers. Send them out to local businesses and post them in coffee shops, grocery stores, and anywhere else you can think of. At the same time, spend $100-$400 on advertising online, or $20 on a freelance website to get some starter freelance jobs.
There you have it - under $500!
You can start up profitable, easy businesses from your own home without breaking the bank… and you can live the life you want from them!
