I have around $500 with me and would like to increase it more to maybe $100 in 1 or 2 months time. What should I do? I'm currently unemployed to take care of family.


Answer
Mowing lawns is a good option, you could buy an old lawn mower for under 100 dollars. Mow about 4 lawns per day at around 25 dollars. You make 100 dollars per day, and if you work three days a week. You are making 300 dollars per week, part time. Therefore you make 1,200 in a months time.

You could wash cars, you could charge 20 dollars to wash a car. You should be able to do about 4 cars in two hours. Charge around 20 dollars and you make around 80 dollars per day. If you want to make more money you could detail cars, you make around 125 dollars on average for detailing cars. But it require more work to do, if you choose this route. The best product to get is optimum no rinse and go on the forum called autopia and autogeek.

Next start an office cleaning or window cleaning business, you can get all of the equipment for under 100 dollars.

What's a good business to start for under $10,000?

I have money to invest and I don't have a job so I figure I'll just start my own business. Any suggestions for what kind of business I should start?


Answer
It depends upon what you have as a skillset. A few of my friends from back home started mowing lawns, purchasing the efficient Toro lawnmowers, hired a few laborers, and started a now multi-million dollar landscaping business with nothing more than a truck, trailer, and a few mowers.

A guy in the GA/SC area, that used to detail small and medium General Aviation, aircraft part time got a good name and reputation and eventually won a contract detailing and cleaning military aircraft.

My old neighbor started installing garage doors for Home Depot and Lowe's, as a contractor, and as they provided more work than he could handle he asked them if he could hire someone and take on the additional business. Before the housing market tanked he had all the HD, Lowe's, and Sears business in the Savannah, GA area and was the largest Liftmaster dealer in the area for 2 years running. It was more efficient for a builder to sub to him than to do their own work.

A friend's wife sells jewelry on eBay and at Flea Markets and got large enough that she has 2 full-time employees. I am not sure where she gets the jewelry but do know she sells some that SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) students make but the majority is silver from China. She doesn't do much gold or any platinum. She started out with a few pieces and grew from there.

A guy I played hockey with started a pest control firm after 15 years working for a large pest control company with a big bug. They did not want to pay him some really high bonuses that he rightfully earned so he learned how to get the license and chemicals on his own and do what he had been doing for the past 15 years. He did get in a little scuff when he went to his old customers but he was in business when I left Savannah.

A local kid in the D.C. area started detailing cars at people's homes or businesses and, for about $120-$300, did a job much better than the dealer who was charging just as much money. His business took off and now he does everything from people's commuter car to high-end luxury cars and even antiques with lacquer paint jobs that can't be washed with water and scratch easily.

You should also read some of the stories about the College Hunks Hauling Junk and how they got started. It's impressive and he used his family's skillsets, friend's skillsets, and a fluency in Spanish to build his business.

In any manual labor business you will have a significant amount of competition and you have to separate yourself from the others with strict attention to detail and excellent customer service as well as a lot of pounding the pavement.

All of these folks started with a few thousand bucks and a truck they already owned.
