 Welcome to the journey today. We'll be talking about the best home businesses with low startup cost You may have been wanting to start your own home-based business for some time now with the power of the internet It's easier than ever to start one. Yeah in your pajamas. So we're gonna be talking about four different categories First writing. Oh, I love writing. You could be a freelance writer a poet Editor blogger or even self-publish your own Kindle book. Oh, yeah I heard you can earn up to 70% of the royalties you guys Lucrative so Emma if you were to write a book, do you know what you were right about? Way to put me on the spot. Um something that I enjoy something that I know a lot about Vegan cooking because then I can incorporate pizza and also like I do it from home all the time So yeah, maybe it's just vegan cooking fast easy efficient fun and healthy And I like that and especially the fact that this is something you know about all right So next category Services you could be a virtual assistant or a social media manager. Oh, yeah, definitely I mean think about that. That's something a lot of people don't want to do and they know it's important So you offer to do it for them Make some money you're saving people time one of the most important commodities I think yeah, I have but never have enough of the virtual assistant You can schedule people's appointments. You can book things for them like their travel Get all these things done so that they can actually spend their time being more productive doing other things I spent so much time organizing and reorganizing my calendar They're like I feel good about what I'm getting done in the day But I don't know if I'm thinking like if someone just did that for me and yeah a virtual assistant Yeah, it'd be a lot more productive and the great thing is you can do it from home You don't even have to leave your couch or you can do it from wherever you want We could do it right now Good and speaking of working from anywhere the next opportunity you can have is the data entry You can do this at home coffee shops by the beach that makes data entry a little more fun Now it can be something that's routine mundane It's it's all right at the same time You can don't have to put a lot of effort into it But you can also do other things at the same time listening to a podcast catching some rays Exactly and you believe it or not we have a video on being a digital nomad. Oh, that's right right over here Next graphic design or even web developer again something that you can just do from home If you have a love for graphic design and being on the web These are areas that you can actually jump into also which falls under services a couple my friends do this They're pet setters or dog walkers. I mean what a fun job to do. I love animals. I have three dogs Three dogs. Do you have a pet sitter or a dog sitter? We do while I'm here making these great videos for you all Someone yeah, so next event or wedding planner These are very good if you are savvy at getting things together being creative Taking charge making sure that things that happen on time and hopefully under budget. Yeah I mean for me I'm all about the great party or walking down that aisle one day But I don't want to play on the whole thing throw me a good party. I'll hire you but I'm just gonna do the falling in love part And it does take away some of that time Frustration for planning from others along with the budget constraints So you can actually focus on just doing a wedding planning business or you can open it up to all kinds of events Yeah, oh and another great one in the services a private chef or cater I think about that sometimes just when I'm at home whipping up meals and my friends will stop by They're also like remote and like oh you should do this like for bigger that would stress me out But for anyone else out there who's great at cooking This is a great service that you can offer from your home If you in fact are skilled in the kitchen and you can have one client that you prepare multiple meals for that's a good point Or you can have different families that you're serving at different times of the month Oh, and another great one that my mom's best friend recently started doing is have an Airbnb Yeah, you know lives alone in this beautiful Victorian home. It's painted purple. It's got a ton of character I know why your color is purple. Oh, well, if you're ever in Indiana Go check out Luanne's Airbnb. Anyway, it's a beautiful home And she so kindly opens her doors for an Airbnb And she meets amazing people from all over the world that come through surprisingly Indiana crossroads of America So this is just another great idea and also now it reminds me My mom helps out there being B because she has such a skill set of cleaning like this woman actually likes to clean enjoys it So she helps her best friend with Airbnb with that skill set of just hey, I like to clean So after your guests leave, I'll handle that nice next category selling now If you are really creative and you can make things with your hands and it's very unique Etsy could be the place for you and it could give you an opportunity to be have an outlet to actually make that income from home Can you make anything? No, I cannot nothing nothing. I'm trying to think what I would do I could paint you a picture, but I can make these videos. Yeah, ooh Sam Here's another one of my favorites online consignment. Oh my gosh You could go just through your own closet or your parents and find some old gems that you could sell for money Also, you could go and actually thrift You know find that great leather jacket or that designer shirt or shoes and then put it online There's a ton of apps to sell Use clothing consignment high fashion. Yeah offer up You can go on Facebook marketplace and even offer your items there as well And if you are pretty good in the kitchen similar to that private chef and caterer You can also sell your baked goods online. This is something great to do because a lot of coffee shops They don't actually bake their own goods. Oh, that's a great point when I worked at a coffee shop We had a cabinet of doughnuts to scones to bagels and they all came from other People or business right a lot of these businesses use other vendors to supply them with these baked goods and last category teaching You can be an online teacher or a tutorer. It gives you a lot of flexibility and it's definitely in demand You can be teaching Others that don't have English as their first language you could teach them English true. Have you ever taught something? I did what do you teach math? How was that? Hated it. Hated it. Next you can actually create online courses. Oh good point. Everything that we just talked about Yeah, baking graphic design Blogging whatever you are good at you can make a video and instruct people on how to do it That's very true, and I love that. I like taking in a lot of information skills From the privacy of my home on my couch. I want to learn another language that way. I don't want to go out somewhere Give me an online course. I'm a millennial My wife is actually a fitness instructor and she's able to do a lot of different things She's passionate about either working in a gym or even having your own clients on the side Didn't she like pick up a client when she was here? She did and you guys live in Austin, Texas We're in Kirkland and she picked up. Okay, just check. I thought that happened It gives you a lot of flexibility You don't have to be local to one area, but you can do it wherever there's parks that you can actually work out at There's people's homes like we said before you can go in actually have different classes or personal instruction there I've done some yoga classes that way. Yeah, so like I decided in 2019 So you're the hamstrings. Oh Yeah, I want to work on my hand strings and I want to focus on it But I want to do it from the privacy of my home and not spend a time membership So I watch online like little videos classes if you will on how to do this next is music teacher Can you play an instrument?
