Remember, whatever business you decide to start you must have a passion for what you are doing. Without enthusiasm and excitement, you’ll become bored and unmotivated and ultimately it will fail. Don’t just follow the money, remember to follow your heart.
See if there are any ideas below that fit you well. If you find an idea, seek out a guide on how to get started in that area.
And avoid the factors that cause newly startups to fail.
Blogging
Obviously, I’m a huge advocate for starting you own good successful blog and monitized blog', however it does become a bit tricky when you’re trying do it for free. First you have two options for getting started – you can either use the free WordPress platform or the free version of Blogger. Both have similar features in terms of functionality and design and both can be monetized and you can also be selling information products. What this means is that you’re able to monetize your blog, using Wordpress ads, Google Adsense or even third party ads. You can as well, join affiliate programs.
ChildCare Services/Babysitting
If you always less busy and always free in the morning and evenings, this business will be good for you. Especially for ladies/women that live in a home that is big enough. If you like kids, babysitting may be a great side business for you. Keep an eye on multiple children and taking care of them in the day times during the workdays, pays a lot. You can start this in your home, put up a sign post and you are in for great business.

Cleaning services for businesses
Many businesses, factories and civic institutions have a need for individuals who will provide cleaning services at a low cost outside of business hours. This is a great side business for those who can put in a few hours late at night or on weekends.
Event planner/coordinator
Events like family reunions, weddings, and large parties are often full of busywork that many people simply don’t want to tackle. That can be the perfect place for you to step in and take charge of the planning and coordination.
Gardening/Landscaping services
I’ve actually had requests from others for people willing to do this, so the demand is out there. To put it simply, some people are willing to pay others to, trim flowers, cut trees, bushes around their house, get a vegetable or flower garden started for them in their yard so they can have access to ultra-fresh produce without all the legwork. The truth is you don't necessary have to be the person to be doing the job, you can hire labourers on a daily basis when you get a job/contract.
Online media consultant
Like participating on messageboards, Facebook, Twitter, and so on? Become an online media consultant and help people promote things. Start small – help local businesses get a presence on Facebook and set them up with Twitter. From there, you can grow to whatever works for you.
Social media
Almost everyone uses Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. these days but did you know that many companies will pay people to help them manage their social media accounts, even part time from home. If you are a social media junky already then this may be a great way to start your own business that you enjoy, simply by playing around on Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites all day. Check out PaidSocialMediaJobs.com for more information on how to get started with this type of business and find companies willing to pay for your services.
Tutoring
Did you major in a particular topic in college? Do you have patience with children or illiterate adults? You likely have what you need to tutor in particular subjects. Seek out parents and let them know that you tutor in a particular subject and provide materials for them to share and phone calls will often trickle in. You can get going locally or across the country online.
Teaching and organising lessons should not be limited to children only, most illiterate adults are ready to pay so as to learn. I was the Head of Lecture for Mass Adult Literacy group during my NYSC national service. So am wrting from experience. You can start small, talk to the principal of any local school around and ask for permission to use his school. Before you know what's happening, your business will grow and you will be talking about expansion.
Writing/Editing
If you enjoy writing then writing and editing content in your spare time for companies is a great way to earn extra cash. Many website owners and other businesses require content be written or edited for a wide range of topics and uses. Some will even pay you for simple blog posts or comments. This type of business requires no overhead or experience and you can earn a nice income if you can connect with the right companies willing to pay for your writing services.
