Idea #6 Tour Guide

Tour Guide. If your area is a tourist spot, consider becoming a tour guide on weekends. You can focus on groups instead of individual travelers. Tour guides can earn from $25 to $70 per hour.

As a tour guide, you will organize an itinerary that will help these travelers see and learn about your area. You can create camping tours, historic tours, nature adventure, or even a spy tour depending on the tourist attractions in your area. Once you've decided your area of tour specialization, it will be much easier to reach your target customers.

Idea #5 Freelance writer

Freelance Writer. You may write articles for magazines, advertising copy for brochures, technical manuals and other literary products on weekends. If you are a new bride, you can write articles for wedding and women magazines about the process of preparing for a wedding. If your day job is a computer programmer, you can write articles on the programs that you are using.

Some writing projects will pay you by the hour - about $20 to $75 depending on your writing and marketing skills. Most, however, will pay you by the number of words (if articles, op-eds, short stories) or by a percentage of the selling price (if book). There are a number of resources out there listing potential markets for various kinds of writing, be it poetry, screenplays, articles, books, or web. Start with "Writers Market" published yearly to get a list of all publishers and literary agents, and their writing requirements.

Idea #4 Arts & crafts

Arts & Crafts. If you have a propensity for things arts and crafty, you should consider selling your goods for a living, part- or full-time. Have you ever walked around an art show? There are plenty of these around and you can get a booth and earn back your expenses for the day with one sale. If you love to paint, sculpt, make pottery or whatever, there is a lot of potential for you. You can also starve, too, but you don't start up the business thinking that. Businesses buy lots of arts and crafts each year for their firms' decorations or for sales contest prizes, convention awards, etc. If you are already doing this, you probably have studio space in your house plus some supplies to get going. Step it up to the next level!

Idea #3 Computer services

Computer services for small businesses. You'll need a computer, laser or bubble jet printer and a fax machine to offer these services, but many small businesses need the assistance. It might be in copywriting, mailing programs, newsletters or maintaining a billing follow-up database. You can charge from $20 per hour and up depending on the work. It's easy to get going since you've already got the computer in your home. Canvass businesses locally for work after you've devised an attractive flyer listing and selling your services.

Idea #2 Errand runner

Errand runner/driver. Many businesses today are in need of a runner to bring material around from place to place. A company which does a lot of printing may need constant business to printer assistance. As long as you have your own car and are a safe driver, you're in business. You don't need to learn anything about computers, either. You're simply in business. You will likely always be on call during the week (maybe Saturdays), and if you don't like traffic this could be a problem. You should be able to canvass local businesses for work and be paid upwards of $10 per hour. Your auto insurance agent should be informed of the new use for your car.

Idea #1 Private tutor

Private Tutor. To start this business, you would have to be qualified in at least one academic subject, have some teaching skills and experience (being a training instructor could qualify). The subjects usually requiring tutoring are math, foreign language and any of the sciences. It's less demanding than full-time teaching and you don't have to put up with the bureaucracy. It will undoubtedly be evening and (perhaps) weekend work, but you can charge anywhere from $25 to $75 per hour depending on the subject.
